Where Good Company Meets at the Table
At Discovery Primea, memorable occasions often begin with good food and good company. Building on this simple pleasure, the five-star hotel introduces Group Dining at Tapenade, offering a setting for intimate celebrations, business gatherings and special occasions over Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and attentive service.
Located on the ground floor of Discovery Primea, Tapenade brings the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean to Makati in a warm, welcoming setting. Its open kitchen, anchored by a traditional brick oven, gives diners a glimpse of the culinary craft behind the dishes, adding to the experience of gathering around the table.
Designed for a variety of occasions, Group Dining accommodates everything from family celebrations and get-togethers with friends to business lunches, corporate gatherings and cocktail receptions. Flexible dining arrangements allow each event to take shape according to the occasion and the preferences of the guests.
“At Discovery Primea, we believe that some of the best experiences begin around a table,” says David Pardo de Ayala, General Manager of Discovery Primea. “Tapenade has always had that sense of warmth and character, and Group Dining allows us to extend that experience to different kinds of gatherings while maintaining the level of service and hospitality our guests expect from us.”
The offering draws on Tapenade’s Mediterranean-inspired menu, featuring stone-baked pizzas, fresh gourmet salads and dishes designed for sharing. For Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco, the communal aspect of dining is central to the Mediterranean culinary tradition.
“Mediterranean dining is inherently social. The food is meant to be placed at the center of the table, shared and enjoyed together,” says Chef Luis. “With Group Dining, we want the
food to encourage conversation and make the meal feel relaxed and welcoming. The experience should be as much about being together as it is about what is on the table.”
Tapenade offers venues suited to gatherings of different sizes. Its semi-private room accommodates eight to 10 guests, providing an intimate setting for small celebrations, meetings and conversations. For larger occasions, the main dining room can accommodate buffet dinners and pass-around cocktail receptions.
