The restaurant showcased Chef Table’s very roots. Together with groundbreaking architect Jason Buensalido and the guidance of his Feng Shui adviser, Chef Bruce managed to transform Chef’s Table into the hip and happening, yet still warm and inviting, restaurant that it is.

First, Chef Bruce pays homage to his family’s furniture business as the family is one of the biggest furniture suppliers from Cebu City. Chef’s Table’s furnishings are stylized school tables and chairs, complete with Chef’s Table branded yellow pencils (meant for you to take home) and manila paper placemats that guests, both for kids and kids-at-heart, can doodle on while waiting for the food.

Second, and more importantly, Chef Bruce made sure that he retained the same up-close-and-personal chef encounter experience for the customers. The kitchen remains to be the heart and center of the restaurant. Literally. One can actually enjoy the view of the well-orchestrated kitchen action from all angles: whether you are seated at the specially design kitchen counter seats or at the far end of second floor-cum-function room. Just like you were watching your favorite cooking show on TV.

“Because, really, I’ve got nothing to hide...” Chef Bruce says with a grin.
