Blackbird is flying high and bringing an exciting dining destination to the historic Nielsen Tower in the heart of Makati’s Ayala Triangle. The site, once the country’s first commercial airport, has been lavishly redeveloped while maintaining the integrity of its original Art Deco design.
But Blackbird is not just about its stunning architecture. The restaurant offers an ambiance and approach to service that focuses on the warmth of Filipino hospitality. The grill room, Blackbird’s stunning main oval dining room, is filled with natural light during the day and exudes a sense of elegance and glamour in the evening. The high ceilings and well-spaced tables add to the lightness of the room, while soft mood lighting highlights the Art Deco features.
For a more intimate dining experience, head up the dramatic spiral staircase to The Cabin, the former control tower of the airport building. Here, you’ll be treated to stunning views of the surrounding Ayala Triangle gardens and a dining experience that is truly one-of-a-kind. The Cabin can also be booked for private dining, making it the perfect venue for a special occasion.
If you’re looking to dine al fresco, Blackbird’s garden and terrace offer an open wooden deck and covered terrace at the rear of the building. The two bars and spacious lounge area make this the perfect spot for a pre or post-dinner drink or a relaxed, informal dinner.
