Pretty much ate the whole menu a few weeks back at Hudson Kitchen. While there are those obvious Filipino influences that were already on the menu, I see a lot of Spanish strokes that Chef Robbie Hollija has applied since we came back from Spain!
Some beautiful plates here, with favourites being the scallop crudo, zucchini salad, cauliflower, squid, and mushroom dishes. Was also loving the hilarious presentation of the What Would Monty Do? cocktail. If you’re in the neighbourhood, it’s worth checking out.
