Simply loved this place! Great ambiance, one of a kind combination of japanese,korean and pinoy flavors in one dish and super friendly and professional staff. If that's just the softopening, how will the proper opening be? Cant wait to come back :) keep up the good work!

If ever you're looking for an edgy or cool discovery, or a classic joint blowout, the best of the best is right here already! There is really ever only one answer- PERSEPHONE.
We had a really great time here. :) we were lucky to be the only ones here on a Sunday. The place is very dainty with beautiful floral-painted walls. :) my favorites here were the Bagnetsilog, the corn okoy and the fruit pavlova. :) the Bagnetsilog was very juicy. Pretty fatty but in a good way. Plus the kimchi surprisingly goes well with it. :) the corn okoy was so good and I loved coating it in Japanese mayo. The fruit pavlova is a must. It is so pretty but so good. It's the perfect way to end the meal. Service was amazing. :)

PERSEPHONE, A SEASONAL KITCHEN
Jupiter, Makati City
The first time I saw this restaurant, I said I cannot afford to buy anything served here, cause if you see it from the outside, you'll just say "bongga!". But luckily my boyfriend said that we will try the food here for our random date wahahha.
Ambiance: 5/5
Service: 5/5
Interior Design: 5/5
THE FOOD:
STUFFED MUSHROOM 4.5/5
Everything about this dish is unstoppable! I can't stop eating the mushroom hahah the beef was a little bit salty for me, but over all it was good. I HOPE they could serve something like the portabello mushroom only haha I was willing to pay even without the beef but they did not allow me, ugh sad face! hahaha
LAKSA PASTA 3.5/5
I am not a fan of this dish but my boyfriend like it. It has turmeric, shimeji mushrooms, chicken and lime.
PASTELON 4.5/5
Almost like a lasagna with a twist of caramelized banana. I love the fusion of the flavors and the combination of the ingredients. What I also loved about this dish is that it has different kinds of cheese in it. #cheeselover I hope they could add more cheese haha!
FISHBALL 4.5/5
I was thinking of the classic fishball, but having this inside my mouth, I said this is the social fishball ahahaha it taste great plus I so love theie hot sauce, yung nakakaubo at nakakapawis ahahah!
AVIATION
Tanqueray, peavh syrup, violet liquor & lemon... I don't care hahah I finished 2 rounds of this drink.
CHICKEN SKIN 3.5/5
Hope that it will be crispier next time we visit.
SEAFOOD PASTA 3.5/5
Yes it tastes seafood but I am not sure why it looks like a soup, maybe thats how it is really cooked, I don't know.
CLAM CHOWDER 4.5/5
Tasted so good and the consistency of thickness is just right, I just hope serving size would be bigger heheh.
FRUIT PAVLOVA 5/5
The combination of the fruits' flavors and sweetness are well balanced. Thumbs up!
CLASSIC MARGARITA
Cazadores, cointreau, lime & salt! Gave me a kick for 1 round!
I highly recommend this restaurant!
Persphone is a pleasant discovery. I love the industrial-cozy ambience of the place.
Tried their Clam chowder along with other dishes, it’s delicious, creamy and not overpowering.
Excellent food presentation and good service. :)
A good place to go for meeting friends , celebrating birthdays and other occasions.
Love the place . Very colorful and cozy. Love also the food. My favorite is sea food pasta. You will dream fot it.
Perfect date place for couples and perfect shoot place for instagram junkies! Plus the food is yummy! The only thing I would like to suggest is to add menu choices
This colorful and cozy restaurant will send you into a food coma with its diverse array of menu options. Being a seasonal kitchen, Persephone is constantly curating new and innovative dishes that will keep you on your toes.
The Tapsilog Rice Bowl is definitely something different to try. This dish is brimming with flavorful ingredients and tossed with sirloin steak, vegetables, tempura, and poached egg.
Their Red Burger is a unique dish in itself. A juicy fried chicken patty is drenched in barbecue sauce, topped with red cabbage slaw, and wedged in between two whole wheat slices of bread.
We ended our meal with the Fruit Pavlova. I have no doubt that you will immediately fall in love with this sweet and refreshing delicacy.
I loved their overall theme, which ran coherently from wall to plate.
The food was great, too! I loved eating the chicken skin on my friend’s rice bowl, specially after having such a healthy meal.

The colorful flower inspired mural wall and plants at the entrance is so inviting. There are also cute potted plants around. The ambiance is industrial minimalist and the concept of changing the menu every season is unique.
While waiting for our orders, I got curious and googled about "Persephone", she was the goddess queen of the underworld & spring. This explains why the interior of the restaurant is like this.
They offer organic, healthy, and beautifully plated IG-worthy food.😍 I love how they put their own twist on a lot of the usual dishes in restaurant. Food is arranged in a very unique way. The Miso Glazed Salmon captured my heart. It is made with edamame, pickled red radish, dill butter, fried salmon skin, & baby carrot and the whisky sour is so refershing. The leche flan tower is not included in the menu, but it was yummy and the presentation is nice. The serving of their seafood pasta is good for 2. I would also recommend their apple tempura, it is perfectly fried (must try👍👍👍)
The staffs are so attentive and would offer to take pictures.
Overall, I enjoyed my meals at Persephone. Highly recommended for catching up with friends or date with someone. We will definitely come back to try other dishes.
Excellent resto with good ambiance, Asian fusion cuisine and good service. Dishes are IG worthy and colorfully put together.
We started off with Lime Soda and a colorful Aviation gin based cocktail. Our appetizers - sweet potato chips and Okoy Corn fritters- were tasty.
Our main - Kare-Kareng Manok - was colorful, tasty and filling. Easily fills two with a bowl of rice. Imaginative dish with grilled chicken, edamame, grilled eggplant, pink radish in a curried peanut sauce.
Buko Pandan ice cream dessert was also well executed.

I walked in around 3pm, one weekday afternoon. The place didn't have guests, just me. I was ravenous as I had not had lunch at that time and both my eyes were turning white.
The staff approached me, and I asked what tastes great here. She suggested the pasta, and while perusing their menu, I couldn't take my eyes off at the Laksa Pasta. I thought, that would be interesting, and so I ordered.
The staff gave me a bottle of water and a glass. That was fine with me as I needed my thirst quenched every now and then. About 10 minutes after my meal arrived.
It's the first time I saw flower petals on my food, and sorry, even if it seems palpable, but I really had to ask whether it's edible and of course it was. My food was so pretty, the petals gave it color.
I twirled my pasta and sliced some chicken. It had a good balance of sweetness and saltiness. However, it was definitely hard to finish as it was way too much for one person. I didn't want to waste nor carry a doggy bag afterwards, so I finished it. The pasta was quite flavorful, finishing it was a task though as you will get tired eventually of its savory taste. It's better if you have someone to share this with.
The staff were friendly and attentive. The place had an interesting vibe. As they say, this seems to be a spot perfect for the titas of Manila. Yeowch. Sigh. But yes, the flowers painted on the wall looks nice and tita-ish.
It was a good experience. I'm intrigued with the champorado suman though but I have to make another visit for that.
