RAFFLES MAKATI
🌐
This August, the spotlight turns to Mirèio at Raffles Makati as it plays host to not one, but two powerhouse names in global gastronomy. Chefs Carito Lourenço and Germán Carrizo, the visionary duo behind Michelin-starred FIERRO in Valencia, Spain, will headline the next installment of Mirèio’s guest chefs with a one-of-a-kind tasting experience on 8 and 9 August 2025.
Known for their daring reinterpretation of Mediterranean cuisine, the chefs will bring their artistry and modern techniques to Manila through a multi-course menu designed to surprise, delight, and inspire. Guests can expect a culinary narrative that moves seamlessly between memory, emotion, and reinvention.
At the heart of this collaboration is FIERRO, the chefs’ acclaimed 12-seat restaurant nestled in the vibrant Ruzafa district of Valencia. Revered for its intimacy and experimental spirit, FIERRO has earned a MICHELIN Star, one of the most coveted distinctions in the culinary world. The restaurant has also been recognized with a Sol Repsol, a prominent Spanish award given to establishments that reflect culinary excellence and regional identity, and is featured in the We’re Smart Green Guide, which honors restaurants that champion sustainability and plant-forward gastronomy. Most recently, FIERRO was named to the World’s 50 Best Discovery list, spotlighting breakthrough dining destinations that push creative boundaries and captivate global tastemakers.
Chef Carito Lourenço has made history as the first female chef from her Argentine province to receive a MICHELIN Star—an achievement she uses as a platform to advocate for greater visibility and opportunity for women in fine dining. Her fearless approach to culinary innovation is matched by Chef Germán Carrizo, who leads FIERRO’s R&D kitchen—a creative laboratory where childhood memories and cutting-edge techniques collide. As Brand Ambassadors for Argentina, the duo proudly brings their roots and culinary vision to the world stage, championing both cultural identity and progressive values.
Experience the culinary brilliance of Michelin-starred Chefs Carito Lourenço and Germán Carrizo of FIERRO, as they take over Mirèio at Raffles Makati for two nights only this August. The exclusive tasting menu is priced at PHP 7,500 per person, with an optional wine pairing available for PHP 2,500. Reservations are highly recommended. Guests may reserve a table by calling (632) 8555 9840.
