Sarsa

Lunchtime sees this modest restaurant packed to the rafters. Marbled tiles, rattan lamps, simple wooden tables and casual seating make for a laid-back vibe. Green-accented walls and screen dividers offer structure, but the focus is firmly on flavour over form. Generous sharing portions of Filipino staples such as kinilaw and lechon manok are crowd-pleasers, while the turon a la mode is a sweet final flourish. Unfussy, authentic and excellent value.
