A list of 500 Filipino restaurant names built from Tagalog and regional food words: carinderias, lutong-bahay kitchens, grills, lechon houses, silog spots, bakeries and food trucks. Examples: Kusina ni Lola Remy, Kainan sa Kanto, Uling at Usok and Halo-Halo Haven.

About Filipino restaurant names

A Filipino restaurant name usually says what kind of place it is before it says anything else. A carinderia is a small eatery with the day's dishes in pots on the counter, and turo-turo, literally point-point, is the same idea named for how you order. Lutong bahay means home cooking. An ihawan is a grill, a lechonan roasts whole pig, a panaderia is a bakery, and a silog place serves garlic fried rice and egg with tapa, tocino or longganisa. Kamayan means eating with your hands, often from banana leaves, and a dampa cooks the seafood you pick.

After the format word comes a person or a place. Ni marks whose kitchen it is, as in Kusina ni Lola Remy or Lechon ni Lolo Inggo, while sa and ng link ordinary nouns: Kainan sa Kanto is the eatery on the corner. Aling and Mang are respectful titles that go before a first name. Regional names work when the menu matches them: inasal for Bacolod and Iloilo, sisig for Pampanga, laing and Bicol Express for Bicol, lechon for Cebu, bagnet and empanada for Ilocos.

The list also covers breakfast and merienda cafes, halo-halo and dessert shops, food trucks and modern or diaspora names in English, such as Bawang & Bay Leaf and Balikbayan Box Kitchen.

How to choose Filipino restaurant names

  • Lead with the format word your customers already use. Carinderia or turo-turo promises quick everyday plates, kusina and lutong bahay promise home cooking, and ihawan or grill promises smoke.
  • Name a region only if the menu backs it up. Negros Inasal Grill should serve inasal with sinamak, and Batangas Bulalo Stop needs bulalo and lomi on the board.
  • Check the grammar with a native speaker before you print anything. Ni goes before a person's name or a title such as Lola or Tita, and sa or ng goes before a place or a common noun.
  • Plain descriptive names like these are in use somewhere, and some will match a business near you. Search your city, your business register and the map apps before you order a sign.
  • If most of your customers will not speak Tagalog, pair one Filipino word with one English word, as in Tosilog Table or Kamayan Hall, so the name is easy to say and still tells people what you serve.

Frequently asked questions

What do carinderia, turo-turo, ihawan and silog mean?

A carinderia is a small neighborhood eatery that sells cooked dishes from the counter, and turo-turo means point-point, after the way customers choose. An ihawan is a grill and ihaw-ihaw is grilled street food. Silog is short for sinangag at itlog, garlic fried rice and egg, so tapsilog is tapa with both and Silog sa Kanto is a breakfast spot on the corner.

When do I use ni, ng and sa in a name?

Use ni before a person's name or a family title that stands for one: Kusina ni Nanay Luz, Hapag ni Lola. Use sa for a location, as in Kamayan sa Bukid, and ng to link two common nouns, as in Bundok ng Kanin. Aling and Mang come before a first name only, like Carinderia ni Aling Charing or Dampa ni Mang Nardo.

Should a Filipino restaurant abroad use Tagalog or English?

Both work. A Tagalog format word tells Filipino customers exactly what to expect, while a mixed name such as Isla Kusina, Pinoy Plate or Lumpia on Wheels is easier for everyone else to read and search for. A common approach is to keep the Filipino word and add a short English descriptor under it on the sign.

Can I use one of these names for my restaurant?

Use them as ideas, but nobody has looked up whether any of them is already in use. Names like Pandesal Corner or Lutong Probinsya are plain descriptions, so the same or a similar name may be trading in your area. Search local listings and your business register first, and add your own family name or street if the name is taken.
