The cozy lounge seating is perfect for dining with friends or family, with convenient power sockets behind the chairs and large mirrors ideal for selfies.
I like this semi-private nook in front with a wilde branding on the wall and beside the bar.
The 12-seater private dining room is ideal for private discussions and intimate celebrations.
small plates
chistorra manchego brulee dip | 620
bechamel, torched sugar, W Bakehouse focaccia bread
Savory chistorra chunks nestled on a bed of caramelized Manchego cheese and topped onto focaccia, pintxo-style!
‘nduja mussels | 840
nduja; wine reduction, chilean mussels, W Bakehouse
You can’t get enough of these mussels with spicy ’nduja in an addictive tomato-wine reduction. Soak your crusty sourdough in the rich sauce and enjoy it with the tender mussel meat!

A bestseller, this chilled almond gazpacho balances silky nuttiness with crisp apple, juicy grapes, and savory jamón.
pulpo | 690
miso gochujang glazed pulpo, romesco, pickled onion, spiced pork ear chicharron
I love pulpo when it’s done right—tender with just the right bite, never chewy, with a savory miso-gochujang glaze.
oxtail canneloni | 680
foie gras sauce, cognac, sauteed mushrooms, balsamic glaze
Creamy oxtail and mushroom cannelloni enriched with foie gras and balanced by balsamic acidity.
croquette monsieur | 550

Best enjoyed in one bite, this croquette bursts with premium Gruyère, savory ham, and a hint of balsamic.

shrimp stock, chicken stock, pork ear chicharron, chistorra, shrimp, mussels, fried halibut, chicken, parsley garlic oil, crab fat calamansi adoli, good for 5-6
Eto ang pinakamasarap! Not quite paella, but a flavor-packed medley of rich stock, meats, seafood, and crab fat, with crispy pig ears adding the crunch in place of socarrat—a must-order for sharing.
beef cheeks | 1,400
braised beef cheeks, mashed potato, pistachio gremolata, red wine sauce, freshly grated horseradish
Melt-in-your-mouth beef cheek in rich red wine sauce, balanced by fresh, nutty pistachio gremolata.
iberico pork chop | 1,900
quince jus, mashed potato, chopped pistachios, approximately 350-400g
The Ibérico was tender with a nice pink center, best enjoyed with the flavorful sauce and crunchy pistachio bits.

halibut, tartar sauce, housemade fries
Try their legit fish and chips with thick, flaky fish, paired with malt vinegar and a good tartar sauce.
dessert
brookie skillet | 530
brownie+cookle, mantecado ice cream, salted caramel sauce, truffle popcorn, crushed nuts
This hits all the right cravings – chocolate, cookies, ice cream, popcorn, and salted caramel for an indulgent finish.
classic churros | 320
choice of chocolate sauce or salted caramel sauce
A fun little dessert to nibble on and dip into the sauce—simple but satisfying.
final thoughts
Overall, Wilde Dining delivers comforting modern European cuisine with Spanish influences, elevated by premium ingredients like Gruyère, pistachios, and quality meats. The dishes feel familiar yet refined, with thoughtful combinations that make each one more interesting. My favorites were the Wilde Rice paired with Ibérico ribs or beef cheeks, the chistorra with Manchego, the ’nduja mussels, and the unique ajo blanco. The restaurant’s makeover is impressive, too, with the tree backdrop as the cutest photo spot! Since we visited during the soft opening, the service team still needs more training and familiarity with the menu to deliver a smoother, more confident dining experience.
Congratulations, Chef Miguel and Juano, on this exciting new dining concept! Wishing you both great success with the opening of Wilde Dining and many more delicious creations ahead!
