From launching a simple corner café in 2012 to expanding its reach across its many restaurant brands, sub-brands, and own in-house delivery service, WILDFLOUR remains to be one of the most relevant and fastest-growing restaurant groups in the country. Looking back at 2022, its landmark 10th anniversary year, The Wildflour Group is truly grateful for all those who have made an impact on what has definitely been a wild journey in its first decade. All these wins and milestones could not have been possible without the support and love of our hardworking employees, our steadfast partners, and – of course – our loyal customers, who day-in and day-out create wonderful dining experiences across all of our stores and platforms.
Wildflour President. Ana de Ocampo named Tatler’s Restaurateur of the Year 2021
Ms. Ana de Ocampo, Wildflour’s President, was named Restaurateur of the Year 2021 by the prestigious publication Tatler for the many great achievements that she spearheaded with conviction for the group over the past year. Even with the challenges brought about by the pandemic, her resilience and perseverance in leading the Wildflour group to adapt and grow with the times did not waver.
Wildflour lands a spot on Tatler’s 14 Most Resilient Restaurants in the Philippines
Wildflour continued to successfully ride the waves of the pandemic for the second year in a row and soar against all odds. Driven by a passion for continuous growth, the Wildflour group set up its first-ever online website and ordering platform Wildflour To-Go, along with multiple cloud kitchen sub-brands, while taking care of its numerous brick-and-mortar stores. In October 2020, The Wildflour Pantry was established to provide customers the comfort of Wildflour food in their homes; while to cap off 2020 and 2021, Wildflour opened 2 new branches in Uptown and Greenbelt, respectively, which have both been runaway successes.
Wildflour is Travel + Leisure’s #1 Restaurant in the Philippines
Wildflour was voted by hundreds of thousands of readers of the celebrated US-based publication Travel + Leisure as the #1 restaurant in the Philippines, a feat that highlights its longevity and premium quality even as a 10-year old brand amidst a constant crop of new players.
Wild Flour Italian is awarded by world-renowned organization, 50TopPizza, as one of Asia-Pacific’s top 50 Pizza Establishments
Wild Flour Italian was among only three Philippine restaurants to have made the list of the authority in pizza worldwide 50TopPizza for 2-22.. It was no doubt one of the highest honors to be considered one of the greats on the world stage despite the woodfire oven-cooked pizza being just one of Wild Flour Italian’s many product lines. The Wildflour management team received this honorable distinction at an award ceremony at The Peninsula Bangkok, Thailand on August 8, 2022.
Wildflour President. Ana de Ocampo, finalist for Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year Philippines (2022)
In recognition for her entrepreneurial excellence and leadership of the Wildflour group, Ms. Ana de Ocampo was invited to be nominated by PSE President Ramon Monzon for the Ernst & Young (locally, SGV)’s Entrepreneur of the Year Philippines (2022) award, where she was selected among an esteemed group of captains of industry as one of this year’s finalists.
Wildflour President Ana de Ocampo recognized as Outstanding ASEAN Women Entrepreneur
Another esteemed international institution, the ASEAN Women Entrepreneurs Network also recognized Ms. Ana de Ocampo’s contributions to the food industry and as a female business leader within the Southeast Asia region as she went on to be one of only five winners from the Philippines for this year’s Outstanding ASEAN Women Entrepreneurs’ Awards, going on to receive the award at the Sultan Hotel Jakarta, Indonesia last September 30, 2022.
10 Years & Beyond
It has been a wild 2022, from celebrating the milestones of Wildflour’s 10th anniversary to satisfying wild cravings all year round, but of course, the wild ride doesn’t end there– Wildflour still has something cooking up its sleeve. Wildflour heard the appetites of both the North and South grow wilder, and is wildly excited to open its first-ever stores at #WildflourAlabang and at #WildflourQC very soon.
Wildflour continues to show its resilience and will continue to stand the test of time with what they have baking in the oven for everyone anywhere, anytime in 2023 and beyond.

When you feel like having a rich and hearty meal along with mouthwatering baked goods and pastries to boot, chances are one of the first spots that come to mind is Wildflour. Unfortunately for us in the North, most of Wildflour’s branches are in the South. Read: Makati City, BGC, Alabang. The closest one we’ve got is in San Juan City, or Ortigas over at The Podium. But in this traffic situation, even good ol’ San Juan and the Megamall area seems like a journey too far to take for food. Well, it looks like that’s about to change. Great news for QC folks because Wildflour is opening up its first north outpost in your neck of the woods.
Here’s Wildflour’s teaser about their latest Quezon City branch:
In a post on their social media pages today, December 19, Wildflour teased about being “wildly excited to open in the north, finally,” along with the hashtag #WildflourQC. This was also accompanied by a picture of a standalone roadside board-up in what appears to be the Scout Area of Quezon City.
While no other details have been provided, we’re keeping our eyes peeled for more details, such as the opening date and the menu. But we’re hoping that we get all the special Wildflour eats, such as their moist and decadent cakes and pastries, their big juicy burgers, their umami-rich pasta, and their juicy, succulent fried chicken. BRB, we just triggered an intense Wildflour craving.
From a small corner shop café to one of the biggest restaurant groups in the country, Wildflour has truly made its impact on the Manila dining scene. Since it opened its doors back in 2012, the Wildflour group has only been consistent in providing the most authentic dining experiences to foodies, both local and foreign. Spreading like wildfire across the Metro, Wildflour currently runs 5 main restaurant concept brands across 15 different locations; and, coupled together with their in-house online brand Wildflour To-Go, the past 10 years are indeed a testament to Wildflour’s resilience.
It’s been a wild journey full of good times – from indulging in decadent cakes, cronuts, and cremadettes to dancing and singing in the crowd-favorite retro nights – Wildflour is here to stay and will surely wow Manila (and the world, *hint*) with what they have baking in the oven for everyone next.

If you’re from the south and you frequent establishments like Alabang Town Center, Molito Lifestyle Center, Festival Mall, and Commerce Center looking for a place to eat, you might have, at one point, wondered: “Why isn’t there a Wildflour here?”
This question may or may not be followed by: “Alabang is the perfect place to open Wildflour!” and “The Titas of Alabang will surely love having a Wildflour nearby!”
Well, your prayers to be in close proximity with the restaurant’s delicious dishes such as the Kimchi Fried Rice & Steak (and their other bestsellers) are at long last, answered: Wildflour is opening its first-ever store in the southern part of Metro Manila, specifically at Westgate Center in Filinvest, Alabang.
Ana Lorenzana de Ocampo, the co-founder and CEO of Wildflour, posted a photo of the signage of the Wildflour Café + Bakery with a text that reads “We hear that appetites grow wilder in the south.” It came with the hashtags #soon, #herewecome, #wildflour, #alabang, and #westgate.
(SPOT.ph) We’re willing to bet that when brunch hankerings strike, one of the first spots that comes to mind is Wildflour—but with their existing branches being in the BGC, Makati, Mandaluyong, and San Juan, it hasn’t been as easy for folks in the South to get their fix. But that might be changing soon. The restaurant published a post on social media hinting at how they’re posed to open up its new branch in Alabang—so folks in the area won’t have to venture too far out of the city. No more adjusting, Alabang peeps!
Just wait a liiiitle bit longer, Wildflour is about to come in Alabang:
“You ask, we deliver. See you soon at #WildflourAlabang,” reads a photo post by Wildflour on Facebook published today, June 24. The picture in question shows a huge tarpaulin with the words “We hear that appetites grow wilder in the South.” Well, if that isn’t a red, blaring neon sign, then we don’t know what is.
A Tiktok video from Wildflour also shows us the big picture—which is the surrounding area of the said tarpaulin in the Facebook post. The area, which has been barricaded by temporary blue walls, is by the road and beside the Westgate pillar.
Even though it’s always a delight to embark on a road trip to the Wildflour branches scattered around the middle of the metro (who isn’t up for a joy ride?)—nothing beats having one closer to home. It’s also a struggle to have to drive far due to the gas prices, too.
There are no additional details as of yet, other than what you’ll find on Wildflour’s posts—but it’d be best to keep your eyes peeled for updates and information on the restaurant’s new branch and whereabouts.
It was more than a decade ago when Wildflour took everyone’s appetite—no matter where you live—by storm with the establishment of its first branch in Bonifacio Global City, courtesy of Ana Marie Lorenzana de Ocampo along with her sister Margarita Lorenzana-Manzke and brother-in-law Walter Manzke. Wildflour offers a wide array of filling snacks and meals—from freshly-baked pastries to savory dishes, whether you want to grab something brunch or for dinner, you name it, they’ve got it.
While waiting, you can order for delivery through GrabFood, Foodpanda, or Pickaroo.
UPDATE (June 24, 7:57 p.m.): A Tiktok video from Wildflour also shows us the big picture—which is the surrounding area of the said tarpaulin in the Facebook post. The area, which has been barricaded by temporary blue walls, is by the road and beside the Westgate pillar. The article has been updated to reflect this development.
Meet the 14 restaurants we are awarding as the most resilient in the industry.
In the past, Tatler Dining has released an annual top 20 list of the best restaurants in the Philippines. However since the past two years were challenging to say the least, instead of a top list of the best restaurants we wanted to honour establishments that impressed us and braved the odds.
This year we reveal the Most Resilient awards and present restaurants that rose to the challenge, innovated, and pushed onwards–those that really went above and beyond.
Here are the 14 award winners:
1 / 14
Bamba Bistro
Beaming with a familial charm, Bamba Bistro is home to chef Tina Legarda’s inspired array of comfort food and the precious memories that have formed within its walls. Beyond its delicious food, Bamba Bistro is well-loved for its heartfelt service and care for its loyal customers. Over the pandemic, the quaint restaurant introduced drive-in dining complete with a steering wheel tray, a curated playlist, and even a tent to shield diners from the heat as they enjoy a meal in the comforts of their own cars. When the city fell back into Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ), Legarda quickly got to work on a secret ECQ menu to bring some excitement in such a dispirited time. All this, while successfully moving to a second location—one much larger, rich with the same neighbourly allure.
2 / 14
Cibo
As the Italian casual outlet of culinary icon chef Margarita Forés, Cibo has long been a natural go-to for reliable comfort food. With diners trapped at home and unable to visit the vibrant restaurants, Cibo introduced in-house delivery services, integrating front of house and kitchen staff to minimise layoffs and meet the intensified demand. Additionally, chef Forés launched Cibo’s frozen pizza line, now stocked in countless supermarkets around the country (albeit, often sold-out). To celebrate its 24th birthday, the brand also introduced festive EATalian boxes filled with Cibo’s greatest hits.
3 / 14
Gallery by Chele
Gallery by Chele is no stranger to innovation. Lauded for their creative approach to celebrating quality local ingredients with world-class techniques, the eccentric team continued to apply their out-of-the-box thinking throughout the pandemic. Through Gallery by Chele | At Home, the restaurant brought fine dining to the homes of discerning foodies while championing sustainable and biodegradable food containers. True to its ethos, Gallery by Chele also launched Deli by Chele, a sustainable artisanal delicatessen that has made its way into numerous pop-up markets throughout the metro.
4 / 14
Hapag
First making its mark in the local food scene as a private dining concept, Hapag has quickly accelerated into one of the country’s most talked-about destinations. Midway through 2020, the homegrown restaurant introduced Hapag Family Meals—an earnest invitation for their beloved diners to be a part of the kitchen’s daily staff meals, inducting us into the Hapag family. Although lauded for their Filipino fare, these family meals spanned from Korean to South American cuisines, including collaborations with other chefs.
5 / 14
Korea Garden
Since first opening its doors in 1974, Korea Garden has welcomed families with its warm hospitality and comforting yet spirited Korean-Filipino dishes. Thus, when they rebranded halfway through 2020, the fresh, youthful appeal was somewhat surprising but undeniably brilliant, to say the least. Apart from launching their direct ordering website, the brand encouraged takeaway orders by enlisting young creatives to participate in a takeout photo series on Instagram. Korea Garden also piggybacked on the success of Korean pop culture in the Philippines by introducing meal sets inspired by popular Korean dramas, complete with promotional videos and photoshoots in the style and costume of the shows.
6 / 14
Lampara
Operating in what was recently the metro’s busiest and perhaps most competitive drinking and dining district, Lampara continued to draw an audience with its inspired neo-Filipino dishes and unique cocktails. Poblacion was among the hardest-hit areas in the dawn of the pandemic, and Lampara was certainly not immune from its consequences. However, as establishments old and new shut their doors, Lampara boldly continued their operations and even launched a weekly meal subscription service called Lite by Lampara, as well as bottled cocktails to enjoy at home.
7 / 14
Manam Comfort Filipino
Manam Comfort Filipino, The Moment Group’s biggest restaurant brand, is well-loved for its reliable local fare whether served in traditional fashions or with a creative twist. The culinary titan was among the first organisations to pivot its services with Mo’Go, an in-house delivery service and Moment The Grocer, an online shop with ready-to-cook meals from its portfolio of restaurants—strategies that soon inspired many others to follow suit. The Moment Group also launched a delivery-only concept Papa Pancitan, collaborated with 7-Eleven to offer microwavable Manam meals, and joined the online-to-offline gift voucher platform ShareTreats.

Metronome
Without an outdoor dining area for their acclaimed restaurant, Metronome was forced to shut its dine-in operations on numerous occasions. But as fans of the gourmet takeaway brand Lazy Oeuf will know, this did not stop the Metronome team from serving its loyal patrons some exquisite gourmet fare. Since launching this sister brand in April of 2020, Lazy Oeuf has rolled out French onion burgers with foie gras, croissant sandwiches, and many more sinful savoury creations, alongside decadent desserts to boot.

Mijo Comfort Food
Whether you’ve come for the good music, killer cocktails, or creative yet familiar comforts, you can never go wrong with Mijo Comfort Food. Its inviting, make-yourself at-home atmosphere earned loyal stalwarts, most especially among the Poblacion crowd. When pandemic restrictions halted the district’s hustle-and-bustle, chef Enrique Moreno took the opportunity to prepare thoughtful meals for our essential frontliners thanks to donations from the Mijo community. The kitchen then launched at-home pasta kits, deli and pantry items, and ready-to-cook meats, plus a meal plan subscription programme called Mijo Express.

Sarsa
Helmed by Tatler Philippines’ 2020 Local Champion, Sarsa continues to be a proud proponent of Filipino cuisine and Filipino spirit. Amidst the pandemic, chef JP Anglo and his team at Sarsa prepared meals to thank and support the courageous health workers at Makati Medical Center, sold merchandise to raise funds for the victims of Typhoon Ulysees, and even offered free water and canned foods for the delivery couriers stopping by the restaurant. To top it off, Sarsa even collaborated with fellow Filipino establishment Hapag for a family meal set and launched ready-to-cook kits with seafood purveyor Marv’s Boqueria while offering a range of inspired meals-to-go from their own kitchen.

The Test Kitchen by Josh Boutwood
True to its name, The Test Kitchen by Josh Boutwood features an ever-changing yet consistently reliable menu that exemplifies the chef’s boundless talents. While many establishments opted for a leaner menu of time-tested dishes, Boutwood explored sourdough pizzas, brunch specials, micro-batch ice creams, and even sous vide kits for home cooking. The restaurant’s new bakeshop, Test Kitchen Bakery, is emboldened with the same curiosity and fearlessness, leading to creations like a naturally fermented ale sourdough and a hybrid croissant-cardamom loaf.

Toyo Eatery
Internationally praised for its thought-provoking renditions of Filipino food, it comes as no surprise that Toyo Eatery’s innovative flair persisted through these challenging times. Together with its sister bakeshop brand Panaderya Toyo, Toyo Eatery crafted whimsical bilao sets with lip-smacking barbecue skewers, the restaurant’s signature silog fried rice, and other festive staples. Chef Jordy Navarra captured the attention of foodies once more in July of 2021, set to host the Philippine leg of the global food event Gelinaz! with other top chefs featured in the ensemble. Confronted with yet another round of lockdown and unable to provide the dine-in service they had planned, Navarra and the team devised a safe drive-through alternative, oft considered to be among the most innovative dining experiences to date.

Wagyu Studio
After making its much-awaited debut in October of 2020—a bold move, but certainly the right one—Wagyu Studio continued to entice indulgent carnivores with luxurious takeaway creations. Showcasing the luxurious beef it’s known for, the modern Japanese steak house offered a Kobe chirashi with uni, caviar, ikura, and edible gold; and a Kobe pastrami burger showcasing 10-day homemade pastrami made with 100 per cent A5 Kobe, among others. In addition, executive chef Yoji Kitayama collaborated with chefs Josh Boutwood, Margarita Forés, Miko Calo, and Chele González on four separate four-hands dinner degustations, breathing invigorating life into the restaurant scene at a time it was most welcome.

Wildflour
At this point, is there anything that Wildflour cannot do? Since opening its doors in 2012, the restaurateurs kept themselves busy launching original concepts Farmacy, Little Flour Café, and Wild Flour Italian plus bringing Pink’s famed American staples to the Philippines, all within 2014 to 2019. This vivacious drive remained relentless over the past two years as they introduced delivery-only concepts Wildflour Pizza, Wildflour Burger, Wildflour Rotisserie Chicken & Wings, and Wildflour Pantry as they expanded their delivery services throughout the metro with Wildflour To- Go and the Wildflour mobile app.
