Immerse yourself in a culinary odyssey like no other as the Department of Tourism (DOT) proudly presents the Philippine Eatsperience. Set amidst the historical landmarks of Manila — Intramuros and Rizal Park at Luneta — this gastronomic spectacle celebrates the diverse culinary heritage of the Philippines.
A Culinary Celebration
More than just a food fair, the Philippine Eatsperience is a tribute to Filipino culture and tradition. 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 narrates a tale of heritage and pride. In line with this year’s theme for Filipino Food Month “Kalutong Filipino, Lakas ng Kabataang Makabago” (“Empowering the Youth for Promoting Philippine Culinary Heritage and Gastronomy”), the Philippine Eatsperience serves as a platform for preserving and promoting the rich culinary traditions of the Philippines. Aligned with the Philippine Experience Program (PEP), the Philippine Eatsperience aims to highlight and promote the Filipino brand and identity in all aspects of travel and tourism. 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.
Hop-On-Hop-Off Adventure
As a highlight of the Hop-On-Hop-Off Bus Tour, the Philippine Eatsperience invites travelers to embark on a culinary journey through the heart of Manila’s historic landmarks. The venue at Intramuros is located at Baluarte Plano Luneta de Sta.
