Jordy Navarra
Chef/owner of Toyo Eatery and Panaderya Toyo
This chef is nothing sort of an expert on Filipino gastronomy. His hunger for knowledge, and a deeper understanding of our culture is evident though every dish on his menus. A meal at Toyo Eatery is never just a meal. Embark on a history lesson, and a trip through our bountiful archipelago; through every taste you are peering into chef Jordy Navarra’s restless mind. Playful and with restraint, Navarra’s food showcases what he considers to be the most intriguing aspects of our culinary culture, from produce, to traditions, and cookery. Panaderya Toyo follows the philosophy of exploring Filipino culture through food, delving into various local techniques, flavours, and ingredients used to make breads and pastries. Both concepts boldly explore what was, is, and what can be.
