Meanwhile, the menu is divided into five sections (Tingi-tingi, Bilang, Ulam, Minatamis, and Beverages) that showcase Inatô’s creative take on various Filipino dishes using both locally and internationally sourced vegetables, meats, and seafood. This approach embodies the Binisaya term, Inatô (our way), highlights the restaurant’s deep Filipino roots and its journey in exploring Filipino cuisine further.
