Discover the meaningful bond between the beloved actor and a restaurant chain that’s redefining Filipino cuisine.

Hold onto your forks, foodies! 🎉 Last February 20 during his recent contract renewal with the much-loved Filipino restaurant chain, Mesa, Dingdong Dantes opened up about what makes this partnership so special. He shared, “This signing is more than just a contract; it signifies my inclusion in the history of Mesa. A couple of years ago, we talked about how, when the opportunity is right to be a proud ambassador, I wanted a tangible piece of evidence that I’m truly a part of this brand.”

Dingdong is set to become a proud partner of Mesa’s Branch 88, with the official location reveal happening soon. For those of you who don’t know, Mesa has been a cornerstone of Filipino dining, giving our classic dishes a modern twist, and Dingdong is thrilled to be part of this culinary journey. 🍽️

When asked why he has remained with Mesa for over six years (yes, you read that right!), Dingdong explained, “Our values have always aligned from the start. We share a common goal of providing a quality dining experience centered around Filipino food. As a food lover, it’s been a delight working with a brand that champions deliciousness. Plus, our friendship has blossomed over the years!”

But what about Mesa’s decision to have a celebrity ambassador? Mr. Eric Dee, Mesa’s Chief Operating Officer, shared some insights. “After 30 years in the industry, it took us 10 years to find the right endorser. Dingdong was perfect—wholesome and family-oriented. He’s more than just a business partner; he’s a friend!” Talk about a match made in foodie heaven! ❤️

Since opening its doors in Greenbelt 5, Makati, in 2009, Mesa has rapidly expanded to 80 locations nationwide. Recognized for its delicious offerings, the chain has snagged various awards, including “Best Binakol in the Philippines” and the title of “Best Filipino Restaurants” from Philippine Tatler for an impressive twelve consecutive years.

Mesa is not just about great food; it’s also part of the Foodee Global Concepts family, known for introducing Michelin-starred restaurant concepts to the Philippines. With exciting developments on the horizon, it’s clear that both Dingdong Dantes and Mesa are committed to delivering unforgettable culinary experiences.
