Where the art of living meets the art of dining
Elevated flavors and artistic ambiance at the restaurants on Leviste Street, Makati.
At The Picasso, art shapes the whole stay, and that carries through to the table. On tree-lined L.P. Leviste Street in Salcedo Village, the building is home to two of the neighbourhood's most distinctive restaurants: Pablo Bistro and Cartel Deli. One elegant, one easy. Both worth the trip, whether you are staying upstairs or walking in off the street.
Pablo Bistro — a refined table
Pablo Bistro carries the elegant side of The Picasso. Rooted in Spanish-Mediterranean cooking, the menu runs from paella and ribeye to tapas like gambas al ajillo and starters like fire-grilled octopus carpaccio. Guests come back for the solo-serving paella, the well-seared meats, and flavours that stay bold without trying too hard. To reserve, call 0917 812 3301.

What guests say
“We recently celebrated our year-end event at Pablo Bar and Bistro, and it was fantastic! The cochinillo was the star of the meal, crispy and succulent. The steaks were also impressive—tender and flavorful. One can’t have too many great dining experiences so we went back for lunch during our planning session. On both occasions, the service was impeccable, and having the bar area closed off (year end celebration) for our group added a special touch. The paella was delicious, and the chocolate coulant was to die for! Overall, an exceptional dining experience that I highly recommend for any occasion.”

“Upscale, artsy, classy and hip. Nice menu, wine list and cocktails. Building has some nice art as would be expected and a neat little gallery on the 3rd floor. Food was better than expected and we look forward to returning. Reservations highly recommend.”

Cartel Deli — everyday, artfully served
Cartel Deli is the neighbourhood side of the building — a café-deli-bar that moves with the day, from a morning brew to an evening glass of wine. Specialty coffee by Yardstick, sandwiches like the smoked wagyu brisket, and a counter of cold cuts, cheeses, and gourmet grocery to take home. Warm, industrial interiors, and a room that works equally well for brunch, remote work, or an after-office drink.
Inquiries: 0917 625 2249.

What guests say
“They serve @yardstickcoffee here, so we knew we were in for a good cup. My friend got an iced daily brew with a nice fruity note to it. They offer decaf, so my boyfriend got a hot black—just the right amount of acidity, which he really liked. I usually go for a Feel Good Latte, but I think it’s only available in Yardstick’s Legazpi branch, so I got an oat milk latte instead. Still really good! Always a great spot to cool down and grab quality coffee.”

“Fourth day in the Philippines. Today, I took a walk around a nearby coffee shop in the morning. The outside and inside of the store look like they have a nice atmosphere. The dark interior of the store creates a relaxing atmosphere. There are 17 different morning sets, all for 700 pesos. Very tasty and I feel wonderful in the morning. The coffee is so good.”
