Antipodean
Located in the heart of Makati sits Antipodean, a hip and charming combination of a bistro, cafe and deli rolled into one. Found in Legaspi Village, Antipodean has served as a popular hangout to people around this bustling area since they opened 2 years ago. Taking their cues from Kiwi owner and founder Alun Evans, Antipodean serves dishes from New Zealand along with some Asian favorites to fit clientele with local tastes. The name itself which is defined as "relates to New Zealand and Australia" is evident in the inspiration for their well-thought-out, wide-ranging and delicious menu, which showcases their "Antipodean" roots. With branches in Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Hong Kong and now Metro Manila, as their latest location, Antipodean is taking their origins from down under and starting to make their mark throughout the rest of the world.
Fun Fact:
Founder Alun Evans has worked with many F&B ventures since he was a kid. Alun studied coffee in Trieste, Italy for several months. He also studied Italian cuisine, which is part of the menu in Antipodean. He then went to Indonesia to source coffee and to work with small farmers for ethical and socially responsible, organic coffee plantations. They roast their own beans before distributing to all Antipodean restaurants worldwide.The location of Antipodean was once a bank before it was redesigned to what it is today. Interior Designer Rodney DiRamos decided to incorporate the bank’s original safe in the design as a nod to its’ past life. 
Cuisine:
