Filipino restaurant Bad Saint quietly opened in Columbia Heights last night. The long-awaited spot from Nick Pimentel of Room 11 and Genevieve Villamora was among Y&H’s top 10 most anticipated restaurants of 2015.
The restaurant features a mix of Filipino staples as well as lesser-known regional and seasonal specialities from chef Tom Cunanan, an alum of Ardeo + Bardeo who previously cooked “post-modern” Filipino and American cuisine through his own catering company.
Bad Saint gets its name from St. Malo, La., a long-destroyed coastal fishing village which was the first permanent Filipino settlement in what is now the U.S.
Stay tuned for more info as it’s available.
