A culinary space where history and modernity intersect: Blackbird Makati
Amidst the hustle and bustle of Makati, there's a beautiful place where time seems to stand still. The Nielson Tower, which opened in 1937 as the Philippines' first civilian airport, has now been transformed by chef Colin McKay into "Blackbird Makati," one of Makati's most sophisticated dining establishments.
The name "Blackbird" originates from the airplanes that captivated the chef in his childhood. This former airport terminal and control tower has now become an elegant and open restaurant imbued with the romance of the aviation era.
Harmony between space and cuisine
The interior retains traces of its former life as an airport while boasting a modern and chic design. A dramatic spiral staircase, high ceilings, and soft lighting that illuminates as night falls invite guests into a truly special experience.
A refined dish
The chef creates internationally inspired dishes that blend classic recipes from around the world with a modern twist.
The delicate presentation of this dish, which highlights the beauty of the ingredients, symbolizes Blackbird's philosophy of enjoying food with your eyes as well as your taste buds.
Elegant interior design
This dining area exudes a tranquil glow in the twilight. From the bar area where you can enjoy a drink after work to tables where intimate conversations flow, it offers a comfortable atmosphere that suits any occasion.
And we cherish the flavor of the ingredients.
These colorful side dishes and carefully crafted cocktails make the time spent here even more enjoyable.
Experience world-class hospitality and refined cuisine against the backdrop of the historic Nielson Tower. Blackbird Makati is more than just a restaurant; it's a unique dining destination where Makati's history and future intersect.
