In stylish Dupont Circle, Kayu is the vision of Chef Paolo Dungca, a rising culinary star whose inventive take on modern Filipino cuisine earned him a 2025 James Beard Emerging Award, as well as a Rammy's Culinary Star semi-finalist and Best New Restaurant Star Finalist for Kayu and Hiraya. Dungca balances nostalgia and nuance, serving dishes like the sweet-salty crab-fat cassava cake with trout roe and the seared ribeye glazed in burnt coconut and lemongrass—ingredients you know well, but never quite like this.
 
Gather those whose company you savor most—those who love to talk about food and are always up for a night out in the capital—because the flavors of this dinner will spark conversation and turn the evening into a celebration.
