TAGUIG CITY — June Eatery is bringing together food and cocktails in a curated pairing experience called DUO: One Bite + One Drink. The special evening takes place on October 10, 2026, at 9:00 PM at Burgos Circle in Bonifacio Global City.
A Collaboration of Culinary and Cocktail Craft
The event features cocktails created by Dean Beeton, head bartender of Cheshire MNL. Beeton has designed one-of-a-kind drinks specifically to complement June Eatery's signature dishes. His involvement brings a layer of sophistication that elevates the dining experience beyond the ordinary.
Each pairing is thoughtfully composed to create harmony between flavors. The collaboration reflects a growing trend in Metro Manila's dining scene where bartenders and chefs work side by side. Guests can expect a menu that surprises and delights with every course.
The Pairing Menu Unveiled
The first pairing introduces June's Garden, a refreshing cocktail made with vodka, Chimichurri Red Wine Cordial, Fontbonne Herbal Liqueur, June Labneh Yogurt, and soda water. It is served alongside a Sirloin Steak Skewer with Labne and Chimichurri, creating a savory and herbaceous match.
Next comes Tsai Time, a creamy blend of Vanilla Tsai Spiced Syrup, White Rum, Lemon Juice, Orange Bitters, and Egg White. This pairs with June Pancake topped with House Cured Bacon Chunk, offering a sweet and savory combination that balances richness with brightness.
The final pairing is Cacao Ritual, a bold cocktail featuring Cacao Butter Washed Rye Whiskey, Cacao Liqueur, Pimiento Dram, and Angostura Bitters. It accompanies a Rosemary Dark Chocolate Tart, delivering a decadent finish that lingers on the palate.
Music and Atmosphere
An all-vinyl DJ set provides the soundtrack for the evening, adding warmth and authenticity to the experience. Vinyl records bring a tactile, nostalgic quality that digital playlists cannot replicate. The music selection will complement the relaxed, intimate ambiance of the venue.
June Eatery's space at Burgos Circle offers a cozy yet stylish setting for the event. The restaurant operates from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM for brunch, pastries, and coffee, then shifts to bistro service from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM. The DUO event begins at 9:00 PM, making it an ideal late-night destination.
Reservations and Availability
Seats for DUO are limited, and interested guests are encouraged to book early. Reservations can be made by sending a message to June Eatery's social media account or through OpenTable. Walk-ins are welcome for regular dining, but the special pairing event requires advance booking.
The event appeals to food enthusiasts, cocktail lovers, and anyone seeking a unique night out in BGC. It offers an opportunity to explore creative flavor combinations in a relaxed, convivial atmosphere. Whether attending with friends or a special someone, guests can expect an evening of discovery.
A Growing Trend in BGC Dining
Pairing events like DUO reflect the evolving tastes of Metro Manila's dining public. Diners increasingly seek experiences that go beyond a standard meal, craving storytelling and craftsmanship in every bite and sip. June Eatery's collaboration with Cheshire MNL positions it at the forefront of this movement.
By welcoming guest bartenders and curating themed evenings, the restaurant keeps its offerings fresh and exciting. It also supports the local bartending community by providing a platform for talent like Beeton. Such partnerships strengthen Manila's reputation as a rising culinary capital in Asia.
