Tina Legarda
Chef and owner, Bamba Bistro Her dishes stood out in last year’s Madrid Fusion Manila regional lunch and Around the World in Small Plates. And the food churning out of the kitchen at her 4-year-old resto (turning five this July—a big feat in a resto-crowded metro) has people continuously raving. With her plans to expand this year, it’s only a matter of time before Legarda is recognized as among the city’s best.
