Gorgeous and delicious meal. Tapas style restaurant where everything was mouth watering. The service was prompt and welcoming. Every food had a very unique taste and I could see the effort into cooking and presenting each item.
Not the cheapest place, but they do 2 cocktails for £15 until 19:00!
This is the second time I’ve been to Rapsa and I just can’t recommend it highly enough. The food is 10/10 but also it’s cosy, the service is attentive and always good vibes with the music they play.
Dinner or brunch, you have to try it!
We had an absolutely fantastic meal for 4 here this evening. The food was absolutely killer, the dishes were well paced and the vibe was perfect. Chilled, very relaxed but attentive service. Our waitress was superb (didn’t catch her name but she had green eyeliner on!). Props to her because she made our evening special.
I’ll be recommending Rapsa to anyone who visits us. Thank you for the hospitality and banging food.

Wow wow wow. We decided to visit Rapsa on a wet summer day, on the recommendation of a tik tok influencer. We didn’t realise there was a special event on. At first we thought that there would be too much food for us, but luckily we were able to pack our leftovers for the next day.
I chose the cocktail, which was delicious and my guest had the Filipino beer called red horse. My guest is Filipino, and we were comforted to see that the majority of guests in the restaurant were also Filipino.
We both selected the meat boodle fight, which is designed as a sharing menu. At £27pp it’s great value and a wonderful way to experience many Filipino dishes together.
There was a wonderful selection of vegetarian and meat options scattered on a banana leaf which made the experience seem more authentic. I particularly enjoyed the pork lechón, which was crispy and moist, as well as the chicken curry. The spring rolls were surprisingly packed full with tacino and the calamansi dipping sauce was my favourite. The slight let down was the fritters, which were too large that made them stodgy and dense. It may have been better to make these smaller and crispier. The salads were fresh and crunchy and the crispy chicharrón was a great balance of texture.
The service was relaxed and attentive and they made us feel welcomed. Our waiter explained the concept and menu very well and there was a wonderful vibe in the restaurant, with a great soundtrack playing in the background as well.
I would highly recommend this little gem off the main Shoreditch scene.
The chicken starter was AMAZING! For the main, I had the binagoongan pork ribs which came with rice and salad. Portion sizes were value for money and it tasted really yummy!! Wished they had more meat options as usually I don’t eat pork but it was the only meaty option available.
Had lunch menu. Filipino style chrispy poke belly and bacon were nice but the rice that came with those dishes were overcooked and had no texture. Probably they don't know how to cook rice properly. Beer is Belgian Vedett only.
Best Filipino fusion resto I’ve been so far. Highly recommend , the vibe is very infused culture with a distinct Filipino ambiance because of the condiments that are on visible shelf. Modern furniture. The Food is amazing!
Ordered the food platter and it was honestly so good. Food was full of flavour and a really great portion, loved every dish. The cocktails were nice and strong and there’s a good selection. The staff were really friendly and helpful, had a great vibe. Chad and Hanzel were amazing, thanks again!
Filipino tapas. Super flavorful small plates which dazzle the eyes and the palate. Loved the food, the space, and the service. Left feeling stuffed and fully sated. Look forward to coming back and trying the kamayan with a group. Highly recommended.
Lovely food and amazing staff! We took pork lechón, longanisa rice and pyanggang chicken with kalamansi mojito and red horse beer and as dessert cheese bibinka. We talked with the waiter and head chef which were lovely and invited us to Tanduay rum shots. A massive thank you for that! We will SURELY go back again 😀
The service was slightly slow but the staff were really knowledgeable about filipino food and gave great recommendations. The dishes were authentic and filling. We had the tocilog (tocono silog-sweet savoury pork) and the lecho kawali (crispy belly pork).
Lovely Filipino fusion restaurant. The food is delicious, the drinks are good, the service lovely and the music selection is awesome 👌
We had:
🐄Oxtail kare kare croquettes with peanut shrimp satay, aubergine, beans and Pak choi
🐙Baby octopus adobo in coconut milk and tumeric potatoes
Roasted cauliflower salad with coconut yoghurt, pomeganades and coconut flakes
🐖Slow roasted lechon (pork belly)
Mango float with mango parfait, mango ice cream chilli and ginger syrup. Yum!
Update!
The laksa is also absolutely delicious!
If you've never tried Filipino cuisine this place is a must. It's a bit of a fusion but the key Filipino elements still play a heavy role in the flavours. Every dish was superb and very creative, full of beautiful fresh ingredients. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. My only complaint would simply be their outside marketing as it's not clear what kind of restaurant it is. Overall though this is a superb restaurant and a welcome addition to London for Filipino cuisine
A lot of Filipino influence here. Food is very well done. Some of the best lechón kawali I've had.
Decent cheap eat Sunday brunch. We went because it’s supposedly a Philippine restaurant, and I don’t know there’s any other Philippine restaurant in London. The menu is very reasonably price, main at 10-14£. Staff were friendly. The best dishes of the four we ordered was crispy pork belly. The sausage was my least favored, too much stuffing
4 stars for their awesome customer service even during the day when there was only 1 waiter and his boss. Food arrived quickly and it taste great! Will definitely come back with friends to try their cocktails.
Amazing food!! So glad to have found a Filipino place so close to me. Drinks were delicious too! My favorites were the salmon Kinilaw and the ginataan! So flavorful.
The food was fantastic, but more to enjoy than to fill up on. The portions are quite small, but very high quality. The service is top notch and on their toes. Unfortunately, the dining room is also very noisy as soon as it fills up.
