Originally celebrated as the brand that pioneered luxury graze boxes and artfully curated charcuterie spreads across Manila, Apéritif brings its European lifestyle concept to life at SM Mall of Asia. Designed as the brand's flagship and largest physical location, this café pairs chic monochrome aesthetics, floral installations, and marble accents with a scenic view at the MOA Sky Garden.
The MOA branch captures the charm of a Parisian street café with a Filipino seaside backdrop. Stepping inside reveals a lavish interior filled with grand display cases of artisanal pastries, gelato, and savory deli boards. Spanning both a plush indoor dining room and an al fresco terrace overlooking the bay area, it serves as an ideal spot for afternoon tea, brunch dates, or evening wine pairings.
