Locavore uses locally sourced ingredients to stunning effect, creating French-inspired takes on Filipino classics like Bicol exprés (spicy minced pork), kaldereta (beef stew) and of course halo-halo (various fruit preserves served in shaved ice and milk).

It does not take reservations, so there's often a wait.
