Cocktails

Market Basket is a restaurant offering modern takes on traditional Filipino food. Located at River Park at Festival Mall in Alabang, Muntinlupa City, one of the hottest dining clusters in the South, the restaurant concept marries together the freshest produce from farms around Manila, the sophistication of European food, and Filipino favorites.


Market Basket is a modern take on the traditional Filipino dampa, where customers can choose their own fresh ingredients from a market and then, have it cooked according to their liking. Guests at Market Basket can do just that; they can pick the most farm-fresh ingredients from Market Basket’s display and have it cooked according to their preference. They may also alternatively choose from Market Basket’s diverse menu and have the dish customized according to their tastes. All ingredients, from vegetables to seafood to meat, are sourced from farms around Manila, so customers can be assured of freshness.


Market Basket is best known for its seafood dishes. Specialties include their Sinigang na Ulo at Tiyan ng Salmon, their Fish Ceviche, Kinilaw na Tanigue with Lato, and grilled seafood dishes. However, the restaurant doesn’t only limit itself to Filipino food. Executive Chef Mauro Arjona, Jr., with his training under Chef Billy King of Le Soufflé fame, also dishes out takes on European classics such as Prawn Thermidore and Steak and Shrimp, the restaurant’s version of Surf and Turf.
