The Story behind Rapsa

Taking the learnings from six years of amazing success as 100 Hoxton and combining it with the flavours of Filipino pop up Kinilaw Buko next door results in the very best in Filipino dining: Rapsa. 

Chef Francis Puyat together with Andrew Zilouf, creators of our reputable 100 Hoxton and former sibling Ziloufs, have created an el trendo new addition of what they do best…creating a progressive ambience to a culinary experience that gets you daydreaming at your desk. 

The menu is the brainchild of Mediterranean-trained Pinoy chef Francis Puyat, formerly of NOPI, Yotam Ottolenghi™s West-End masterpiece and after the success of the pop-up Kinilaw & Buko as an extension of 100 Hoxton, the kinilaw section got a seat on the main menu and the Mediterranean flavours on the a la carte got a Pinoy Twist and a new name on the front door.. 100 Hoxton received the new name RAPSA. From the Filipino word for “deliciousness”, Rapsa takes the best from both restaurants and comes together with a whole new food, drinks and party menu selection. 100 Hoxton’s lunches, brunches and a la carte menu have been given a boost of Pinoy flavour, taking the already great to a whole new level!

Rapsa @ 100 Hoxton is just a two-minute walk from Hoxton Square or Kingsland Road in the centre of Shoreditch: 100-102 Hoxton St, Hackney, London N1 6SG, United Kingdom.

Chef has brought a little bit of home to London with delicious menus inspired by the flavours of his homeland in the Philippines that he brings into two London locations.
