Questions, Answered

The quick answers before you visit.

What happened to brunch?
Filipino brunch was our spring and summer experience, and we loved every weekend of it. You filled our tables and brought your families, and we are grateful. We create dining experiences that make you feel something, and when a season ends, we create the next one. This fall and winter, that experience is Lola's Supper Club. If brunch returns for a special occasion, you will find it at maricelskitchen.com.
Do I need a reservation?
Yes. We are a little different from a typical restaurant. We do not take walk-ins. Our kitchen is devoted to cooking classes, supper club dinners, chef's table evenings, and private events, all by reservation. It means every experience is planned with care and never rushed. Reserve your seat at maricelskitchen.com.
What is Lola's Supper Club?
Lola's Supper Club is our Friday and Saturday night dinner series. You sit at a small table with a handful of other guests. Chef Maricel and her guest chefs cook dishes from around the Philippines and beyond, and they tell you where each dish comes from and who taught it to them. The menu changes with every dinner. Dine with us, we will give you the recipe. Cook with us, we will teach you the technique.
