Cirilo Filipino Kainan

You'll find Cirilo tucked away on Cable Street in Wapping, where the Thames bends and the old warehouses have been turned into flats. Step inside and it's warm, unpretentious, and genuinely welcoming—the kind of place where regulars know their order and the staff remembers your name. The menu does the classics right: sisig that's properly charred, sinigang that's been simmered properly, and lumpia that actually has flavour. It's the sort of Filipino kainan (eatery) where you're eating what Filipino families actually cook at home, not some diluted London version of it.
