Filipinos are renowned for their hospitality, strong family bonds, and extensive Christmas celebrations that often last for weeks. Most families celebrate at home or gather in restaurants and other venues to catch up with relatives. One thing that is always present at these gatherings is food—plenty of it.

Tia Belle’s special Christmas dishes revolve around pasta and noodles. Aside from the symbolism of long life, these dishes are also a staple in every Christmas celebration and even in the New Year.

Cooking has become both her solace and passion, a privilege she enjoys as people appreciate her food. She has a diverse palate, as her cooking styles reflect the years she lived in Europe before she put up a Filipino-style restaurant in our country.

It gives you a sense of belongingness in a bigger community – just like Evelyn intended. “We want to give our customers an authentic and genuine glimpse of the Philippines by honoring and delving into the Filipino culture and traditions through our services, atmosphere, art, and food,” says Evelyn.

This Christmas season, Tia Belle’s doors are always welcome for people who want a genuine Filipino experience of the holidays, complete with stellar service, delectable dishes, and good company.
