Frances Tariga
Tadhana makati
Chef Frances Tariga is a Manila-born chef-owner of Tadhana, a contemporary Filipino tasting-menu restaurant on the Lower East Side featured in the MICHELIN Guide New York, and the culinary force behind Incanta's Filipino-Japanese cave dining in Quezon City. A veteran of royal kitchens, New York volume houses, Top Chef, and Morimoto's Sushi Master, she now channels two decades of fine-dining technique into unapologetically Filipino, high-impact courses that are reshaping how the industry looks at modern Pinoy food.
