Pavyllon London Announces Filipino Counter Culture Collaboration with Donia

Following the sold-out success of Pavyllon London’s latest Counter Culture Dinner with Claude Bosi, the series returns this month with a timely collaboration spotlighting Filipino food, one of London’s most exciting and fast-emerging cuisines. On Thursday 28^th May, Executive Chef Benjamin Ferra Y Castell welcomes Florence Mae Maglanoc, chef-founder of Donia – one of London’s most popular modern Filipino restaurants, awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2025 – for a one-night dining experience at the Michelin-starred restaurant within Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane.

At a time when Filipino fare is receiving long-overdue recognition across London and beyond, the evening brings Florence’s bold flavour-led cooking into dialogue with Pavyllon London’s refined French cuisine.

The six-course menu moves between the two with Filipino signatures such as scallop kinilaw and crispy pork belly lechon sitting alongside dishes from Chef Benjamin, developed in collaboration with the world’s most Michelin-decorated Chef Yannick Alléno. These showcase the restaurant’s hallmark precision and depth of flavour, underpinned by its signature use of sauces. Dessert nods to Florence’s Soho bakery, Panadera, widely regarded as producing some of London’s finest Filipino patisserie.

Priced at £95 for six courses, including a welcome glass of Champagne Duval-Leroy, guests will be seated at Pavyllon’s signature counter or in the main dining room, with both chefs present and meeting guests over the course of the evening.

Bringing together two distinct culinary perspectives, the dinner offers a considered exploration of flavour, technique and cultural exchange in one of London’s most dynamic dining settings.
