Where Two Worlds Collide Over Binchotan Coal

Oak & Smoke was born from a shared obsession. Chef Anna Bautista — trained in French and California-Italian technique, a veteran of Michelin-starred Madera in San Francisco — and Chef Sean Jorgensen — 20+ years immersed in Southern cuisine, Cajun, Creole, and soul food across Shanghai and Bali — met in the restless kitchens of Blue Plate Consulting and decided the world needed their food together, not separately.

When they brought their flagship restaurant to Manila in August 2024, they brought with them something rare: a kitchen with two distinct souls and a singular philosophy. The binchotan charcoal grill is their common language — the point where Chef Jorgensen's Southern smoke traditions meet Chef Bautista's precision and her love for the clean, vibrant flavors of Asia.

The result is a dining room that doesn't ask you to choose between refinement and pleasure. Nestled inside Pacquiao Mansion on Salcedo Village's H.V. Dela Costa Street, Oak & Smoke is where the Michelin Guide, Sunday feasts, and that particular joy of a meal you can't stop talking about all coexist — with cocktails until 1:00 AM.

"The Chopped Caesar was a refreshing opener, the Prawn Toast had a golden exterior and succulent shrimp filling. The Blue Marlin Belly Binchotan was smoky and tender. The Uni Pasta — an absolute umami explosion."

— Dante R., Makati

"Wonderful staff, open kitchen concept, and food that's excellent across the board. The prawn toast and the pork chop are standouts. Would come back for the wagyu alone."

— A. Santos, BGC

"Excellent food, excellent ambience, excellent service. The separate private room is perfect for groups. A restaurant that has clearly been built with obsession."

— K. Villanueva, Makati
