Café Naya: Good Coastal, Mediterranean Fusion Cuisine

Now, he amazes us yet again with a delightful concoction of Mediterranean,  Northern African and European island cooking through Café Naya. Located at The Palace Manila, Café Naya aims to take the laid back vibe of The Palace Pool Club a notch further with a coastal cuisine food concept, transporting guests to a European seaside setting unique in the Philippine islands.
