Bar Pintxos x HEAT Edsa Shangri-La

When <a href="https://www.instagram.com/barpintxos/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bar Pintxos</a> opened in 2015, it helped introduce Manila&rsquo;s diners to the beguiling simplicity of tapas and pintxos&mdash;those tiny, toothpick‑topped bites that are the heart of Spanish bar culture and social eating. With its roots in the casual pintxo bars of the Basque region and Barcelona, the once‑little neighbourhood spot in Alabang quickly became a touchstone for small‑plate dining, one that quietly taught Manilenos how to sip wine slowly and graze over shared plates of olives, jam&oacute;n and grilled prawns.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17723340753044.jpg" style="width: 860px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="860">Pintxos perfection | Photo: Edsa Shangri-La</div>And now, for a limited stretch, those familiar flavors are stepping out of their own dining rooms and into the buffet theater at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/edsashangrila/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Edsa Shangri‑La Manila&rsquo;s ever‑busy HEAT</a> restaurant.Spanish flavors meet the culinary fire of HEAT in a collaboration that launched on February 27 and runs through April 5, 2026. For this limited time, a dedicated segment of the buffet will be given over to Catalan‑ and Basque‑inspired creations from Bar Pintxos alongside the usual spread of global dishes HEAT is known for. Think of it as a&nbsp;tapas takeover of HEAT&#39;s bustling weekend buffet.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17723341945853.jpg" style="width: 960px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960">A selection of Bar Pintxos favorites are now available at HEAT | Photo: Edsa Shangri-La</div>With branches in Makati, BGC and Alabang, Bar Pintxos is one of the few homegrown names that has consistently anchored Spanish small‑plate dining in the Philippines &mdash; often a beloved discovery for diners who know where to look and how to order. Its presence at HEAT, a hotel buffet with broad appeal, opens that culinary language to a much wider table of diners: curious families, lunch crowds and visitors who may never have set foot in a standalone tapas bar.On the buffet line you&rsquo;ll find an array of pintxos and tapas that read like a gentle tour of Spain. Pintxos include foie gras, seared and paired with apple compote and a sweet sherry reduction; smoked salmon with goat cheese, honey and caviar; and jam&oacute;n serrano with alioli that evokes smoky afternoons in San Sebasti&aacute;n. For tapas, there&rsquo;s cap i pota, a traditional Catalan beef stew served with rice pilaf tender; pulpo a la Gallega, a hearty&nbsp;paella mixta studded with shrimp, chorizo and chicken; and tapa de chuleta, a ribeye made more interesting with roasted piquillo peppers. End your meal with quexo, a Basque cheesecake you can drizzle with apple compote. Pair all this, if you please, with an ice‑cold Estrella Galicia beer or a glass of red or white wine.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17723343010641.jpg" style="width: 960px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960">Paella and a vibrant selection of tapas | Photo: Edsa Shangri-La</div>Don&rsquo;t forget to ask for the Regatta pintxo&mdash;goat cheese, tomato jam, caramelized onions and jam&oacute;n serrano&mdash;to get a quick sear so its edges blister just so, and the cheese softens into the bread.<div>The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/barpintxos/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bar Pintxos</a> pop-up at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/edsashangrila/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HEAT in Edsa Shangri-La Manila</a>&nbsp;runs daily for lunch and dinner from&nbsp;February 27 to April 5, 2026, at regular buffet rates&mdash;reserve ahead at 8633 8888 or lrestaurantrsvns.esl@shangri-la.com.</div>
