More than just a restaurant, it's a place where memories are made, cravings are satisfied, and special occasions are celebrated with loved ones. Discover the timeless appeal of our signature dishes and experience the savory goodness that has made us a Filipino favorite for generations.

A Taste of History: From Tops Café to Classic Savory

The story of Classic Savory begins in the early 1940s with Tony Ting's Tops Café on Rizal Avenue in Manila. Though interrupted by World War II, the legacy continued in 1951 with the Savory Luncheonette on Escolta Street. This humble beginning paved the way for a culinary empire known for its distinct flavors and commitment to quality.

The Evolution of a Culinary Icon

Through relocations, revitalizations, and the dedication of the Ting family, Classic Savory has evolved while staying true to its roots. The relaunch in 2007 by Ramon Tan Ting’s son at SM Mall of Asia marked a new chapter, solidifying its place as a modern classic. Despite challenges, like the fire that destroyed the original Escolta Street location (Savory Restaurant) in 2015, the spirit of Classic Savory perseveres.
