Tradicionale

I’m usually skeptical when it comes to high-end or elevated Filipino food, but Tradicionale absolutely hits the spot. Right from the drinks, they bring in familiar Filipino flavors with classics like mango and calamansi juice. We started with the chicken lumpia, and it was literally how lumpia should be: crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. What really amazed me, though, were the longganisa and Berkshire pork tocino. Both took familiar Filipino comfort food and elevated it without losing the flavors that make them special. The Berkshire pork tocino was incredibly flavorful, tender, and definitely one of the highlights of the meal. We went for Sunday brunch, so the menu was a little limited, but what we tried definitely made me want to come back and explore more of their menu. I highly recommend Tradicionale if you’re looking for authentic Filipino cuisine with a creative, elevated twist. 🇵🇭

Tradicionale was such a pleasant surprise. The space feels refined and elevated, but the food remains unmistakably Filipino at heart. No unnecessary reinvention, no trying too hard to be something else — just familiar, comforting dishes prepared with care and served in a sophisticated setting. The interiors are beautiful — thoughtfully designed and elegant, without feeling intimidating. What I loved most, however, was that despite the refinement, the space still felt warm and familiar. The furniture had a nostalgic quality to it, comfortable and lived-in, as though it had been part of a Filipino family home for generations. It immediately brought to mind lunches at my grandmother’s house — the kind where we would stay at the table long after the meal was over. Walking in, you might expect a menu filled with modern interpretations and complicated techniques. Instead, what we got was something much more familiar and truly Filipino — comforting, recognizable, and deeply rooted in the flavors I grew up with. I especially loved the Kare-Kare, the Trout Laing, the Lobster Palabok, the Chicken Lumpia, and the Ube Bibingka. I wouldn’t mind coming back for these dishes — they were delici

Had dinner there. The callos were divine! Service was excellent and we had a great time. Can’t go wrong with crispy pata! We ordered too much for two people but enjoyed the food. Didn’t have room for dessert. Ordered the calamansi drink too which was just okay. They didn’t have Coke Zero. Our bill was $141 (with no tip).

Tradicinale's vibe was not like traditional Filipino. It was upscaled but still focused on the family style portions. It is highly recommend to reserve a table. Everyone was very attentive and made us feel at home. Sisig was the most Tapa ordered. We ordered the Pork Sisig Tapa as a meal with garlic rice and added spicy vinegar. This was my favorite dish but it was spicy which I didn't mind but some others in my party was not able to enjoy it. The Thai chili peppers was not on the description nor did it have a spicy warning on it. Pancit was a clear favorite in the group. The only complaint is that there could've been more noodles but it was also consided a Tapa. The drink were great. For desert there were not to many options. We tried ube and salted egg Bibingka which were good. I hope they add Leche flan in the future. I do recommend this restaurant any group size and recommend the Sisig and Pancit.

We had an amazing experience at Tradicionale New York! We decided to try this newer restaurant for a party of six, and from the moment we walked in, everything exceeded our expectations. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating — we were seated right away, which was a great start. Our server greeted us warmly and gave us a heads-up that the restaurant would get busy, but reassured us we’d be well taken care of — and they absolutely delivered on that. Drinks came out quickly, and the service stayed attentive throughout the night. To start, we ordered the dinuguan tacos and baby octopus adobo, and right away we knew we were in for something special. The ceviche was another standout, with spices that came together in perfect harmony. We moved on to more traditional dishes like kare-kare and garlic fried rice, which were both incredible. The mushroom croquetas were such a unique and delicious surprise, and the Filipino roasted chicken was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. And dessert — wow. The ube flavors were unforgettable. The ice cream was amazing, and they even brought out a candle for a birthday celebration on the ube bibingka, which was beautifully presented and ta
