A vibrant new social scene has just been born at the corporate and lifestyle hub of Ortigas Center with the launch of Podium Social that offers culinary choices perfect for after-work gatherings, reunions, and weekend hangouts.
Located at Level 6 of The Podium Mall in Ortigas, Podium Social offers a culinary journey with a diverse profile in a refined yet dynamic space, with stunning views of the Ortigas skyline.
“Thoughtfully designed with the Ortigas community in mind, Podium Social offers a welcoming space to gather, unwind, and connect. Its curated selection of five restaurants is perfect for family get-togethers, after-work unwinding, or simply enjoying time with friends,” said Steven Tan, president of SM Supermalls.
The new hub features several establishments that cater to every craving. Bistro Aurora is a contemporary Asian bistro that reimagines regional Asian dishes with modern techniques and presentations.
