Rewarded with a Star in The New York Times, followed by being honored with the status of a Critic's Pick, Tsismis is worthy of the acclaim. Meaning "gossip" in Filipino, you'll chat with epicureans about its culinary excellence, wondering what took you so long to discover this gem in the first place.
Cozy up to this $29 pulse (a $60 value) for a Dinner For 2 that includes 2 Entrees and 4 Beers or 2 Glasses of Wine to elevate every exquisite flavor.
Esteemed Executive Chef Jappy Afzelius trained extensively in Italy, graduating on to work at Benoit Bistro by Alain Ducasse and David Burke Fabrick. His impressive background and heritage are the source of the authentic yet innovate menu at Tsismis - a revelation to taste and behold!
With a Bold Red Wine or a Cervesa Negra in hand, slice into Beefsteak Tagalog, marinated and topped with caramelized onions in a garlic calamansi soy sauce. You'll equally devour the Kare Kare, a plate of braised oxtail in a ground peanut rice sauce with bok choy, eggplant, and green beans.
With so much in store for your taste buds, what's not to get excited about...
Find out what all the buzz is about surrounding Tsismis - a Time Out & The Infatuation-praised concept that invites you to savor "Casual Filipino from a Fine-Dining Chef" (as described by Eater). The creations from this critically-acclaimed Filipino-style LES jewel will excite your palate and ignite your passion for cuisine all over again.
Chef Jappy Afzelius’ talent is undeniable. A native of the Philippines and a graduate of The Cooking Academy in Manila, he then spent time in Paris to work under Alain Ducasse, moving on to Manila Social Club in Brooklyn, and finally his pride and joy - Tsismis.
Become consumed by a heated dining setup, a colorful myriad of art, windows donning stenciled cartoon characters, and an infusion of cultures & languages that inspire Filipino food: French, English, Spanish, and Tagalog.
A Pale Pilsen will pair perfectly with fresh Shrimp Sinigang, their signature tamarind soup with eggplant & bok choy. A Crisp White Wine will also do well sided by Chicken Adobo a la Vieja - a creation that includes roasted garlic, soy vinegar-laurel sauce, and bok choy.
The "tsismis" (also translated to mean rumor) is true that you can't go wrong with this delectable dinner...
All selections will be made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.

"This is an absolute treasure! Found out about Tsismis on the pulsd app, and got a $29 voucher for a dinner for 2 that came with wines and beers. I have been to the Philippines, and their dishes tasted so authentic! Every flavor took me back to that trip, and I am in awe at how amazing this meal was. We went for wine and the Shrimp Sinigang, as well as the Beefsteak Tagalog - brilliant! Exceptional flavors. I can't wait to come back!"
"Got a pulsd voucher and ordered the Beefsteak. It was incredible. Juicy, tender, perfectly marinated - I'll be dreaming about it until the next time that I come in, which will be very soon!"
"Being Filipino, we always look for a modern take on our traditional dishes, which is exactly what we got at Tsismis. The service was exceptional and the chef even came out. The ambiance was really cool with Filipino art and some of our cultures staples can be seen around. I think this place is doing a great service to presenting delicious Filipino food."
