Gramercy Filipino Grill With Family Recipes
Filipino grilling and home style plates on East 21st Street, with family recipes behind the menu.
🍲 Pork With Two Textures
Grill 21 puts homestyle Filipino cooking inside a small, cheerful Manhattan restaurant. The setting is snug and unassuming, and the menu leaves room for a few American nods alongside its mostly Filipino dishes. It is a compact stop for the kind of familiar comfort food that keeps the focus on the meal.
The lechon kawali comes in crispy half inch slabs, bringing a pronounced crunch to the table. Sinigang offers a softer counterpoint, with pork tender enough to practically melt. Sisig adds another option among the savory classics, giving you more than one direction to take your order.
For dessert, halo halo with ube ice cream brings a sweet finish after those savory plates. Find Grill 21 at 346 East 21st Street, where it opens daily from 11 AM to 4 PM and again from 5 PM to 9 PM.
