An imaginative eight-course degustation menu is presented from February 7 to 15.

Ninyo Fusion Cuisine
The menu itself makes a charming read, as well as whets the appetite. While not, strictly speaking, a plant-based menu as it features such romantic ingredients as foie gras and oysters, flora are the undisputed star of the evening, with all its unique parts transformed into gastronomic delicacies from roots to stalk to flowers. And yes, fruit. Contact: (0939) 921-5881 | IG: @ninyofusion | Facebook: @ninyofusion | Address: 66 Esteban Abada Street, Loyola Heights, Quezon City.
