LIFESTYLEASIA travels to Bangkok as the exclusive Philippine magazine publication at the fifth Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants Awards.
The Philippine flag was proudly waved onstage at the W Bangkok when Gallery Vask’s chef Chele Gonzalez, and partners architect Carlo Calma and Paula Cortez-Solinap, received their award. The restaurant, located at the Clipp Building in Bonifacio Global City, entered the prestigious Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants. They made the list at No. 39 last year; this year, Gallery Vask moved up four places to No. 35. It was the only restaurant from the Philippines on the list, earning them the title of Best Restaurant in the Philippines for the second year in a row.
AN ACCIDENTAL CALLING
“This win is so meaningful for us,” said Calma, who designed the space. “To win once means you’re good; to win twice must mean you’re onto something really, really good… so we’re excited to continue this journey.” Gonzalez, who is originally from Torrelavega, Spain, added, “I want to thank the Philippines for welcoming me with open arms and allowing me to grow as a chef and artist.”
NUMBER ONE FOR THREE YEARS IN A ROW
