LOOK: Experience exquisite Filipino food and tradition at ‘Eatsperience’
Hosted by DOT throughout April 2024
Embark on a culinary adventure like no other as the Department of Tourism presents the Philippine “Eatsperience” this April.
Taking place at the country’s historic landmarks such as Intramuros and Rizal Park in Luneta, this gastronomic spectacle will also celebrate Filipino tradition and culture. With the theme “Filipino Fiesta,” the event showcases the vibrant tapestry of Filipino cuisine—a symphony of flavors, colors, and aromas that reflect the unique Filipino way of celebrating. From savory classics to delectable sweets, each dish tells a story of heritage and pride.
Aligned with this year’s theme for Filipino Food Month, “Kalutong Filipino, Lakas ng Kabataang Makabago” (“Empowering the Youth to Promote Philippine Culinary Heritage and Gastronomy”), the Philippine Eatsperience serves as a platform for preserving and promoting the rich culinary traditions of the Philippines. Centered on the theme of Hain/Salo-Salo or Filipino Food and Gastronomy Tourism, the event seeks to foster a deeper appreciation for Filipino culture, establish premier destinations, raise awareness about Filipino cuisine and celebrations, and provide a platform for local food stakeholders to showcase their products.
The venue at Intramuros is located at Baluarte Plano Luneta de Sta. Isabel, Intramuros Manila, operating from Monday to Sunday, while the venue in Rizal Park Luneta is at the iconic Noli Me Tangere Garden in Rizal Park, which is open from Friday to Sunday. Attendees can also avail themselves of the Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus Tour to reach the venues.
Open to the public, attendees can expect cultural diversity and culinary delights from fifty-five participating merchants, including thirty from the Intramuros Administration (IA) and twenty-five from the National Parks Development Committee (NPDC).
