First Taste: SF's Creative Modern-Meets-Traditional Filipino Restaurant Naides is a Knockout
"Creative and modern, yet clearly tied to traditional Filipino cuisine, it is one of the most unique and exciting restaurants in San Francisco or anywhere for that matter. Chef and co-owner Patrick Gabon, who was born and raised in the Philippines, has worked in a variety of restaurants, and it shows. He is as comfortable with tweezers and foraged local ingredients as he is with infusing traditional fermenting techniques used in the Philippines."
"The interior of the intimate restaurant is mostly unchanged from its previous incarnation, with white marble tabletops, moody black-and-white photography, and flattering lighting that showcases the stunningly beautiful, artfully composed dishes on the tasting menu. Mellow strains of Fleetwood Mac, Stephen Sanchez, and The Lumineers deliver a relaxed and peaceful vibe in sync with the cozy space and welcoming service."
"Both the front-of-house team, led deftly by Gabon's partner and co-owner, Celine Wuu, and the chefs present 11 to 13 courses ($205/person), sharing the inspiration or story behind each. Currently, many of the dishes use wild ingredients that Gabon and Wuu foraged near Lake Tahoe and preserved in various ways."
Restaurant Naides, newly opened in San Francisco, has quickly gained acclaim with reservations booked weeks in advance and Michelin star buzz. Chef and co-owner Patrick Gabon, born and raised in the Philippines, brings expertise from prestigious restaurants including Benu and Sons & Daughters. The intimate restaurant features an open kitchen and serves 11 to 13-course tasting menus at $205 per person. Gabon and co-owner Celine Wuu forage wild ingredients near Lake Tahoe and employ traditional Filipino fermentation techniques. The restaurant combines creative modern plating with authentic Filipino flavors, offering an exceptional experience for both newcomers and those familiar with Filipino cuisine. The welcoming atmosphere, curated music, and artisanal ceramic pieces enhance the dining experience.
