ANOTHER TOP CHEF JOINS WORLD KITCHENS
Araneta City elevates its culinary landscape with the arrival of Kevin’s Diner, an inspired new concept by Filipino culinary creative Chef Kevin Villarica. Soft-launched on September 3, the diner adds a deeply personal and flavorful chapter to the rising food destination in Gateway Mall 2.
Chef Villarica, whose impressive culinary portfolio includes Le Feu Steak House, Cochi by Marvin Agustin, Ayà, Ginza Gyu, and Hapag, continues to shape the local culinary industry with concepts that are both innovative and deeply personal. As he joins World Kitchens with Kevin’s Diner, he brings his signature blend of comfort and heritage to this groundbreaking dining destination where global flavors and culinary innovation converge.
The menu at Kevin’s Diner serves as a warm tribute to beloved comfort food, mostly inspired by the food of Chef Villarica’s youth, all celebrating flavors that evoke the joy of sharing a good meal. Menu highlights include:
-
Juicy burgers like the indulgent Kevin’s Triple Smash Burger (stacked with multiple layers of beef patty and cheese) and playful Jeepney Burger (added with a layer of egg), both served with potato wedges.

Elevated silog meals like the Smash Burgersilog, Cornedbeefsilog, and a standout Rib-Eye Tapsilog, each with atchara on the side.

Seafood favorites such as Crispy Fish Claypot Rice and Fish & Chips.

Reimagined Pinoy classics like Kare-Kare and Sizzling Sinigang, both cooked with Chef Villarica's signature corned beef.
