Filipino Food + Candlelit Bar Is The Perfect One-Two Punch in Ditmas Park

If you're looking to break out of your routine of Chinese or Thai takeout, give The Purple Yam a try for delicious Filipino and pan-Asian dishes. Eat-in the warmly lit dining room or out back in the bamboo-surrounded patio. Enjoy takes on Filipino favorites like lumpia, sisig, adobo, and pancit. There are also a lot of Korean offerings like a daily kimchi special, japchae, and bibimbop.

Once your stomachs are full, head over to The Castello Plan for some choice cocktails. Romantic with its candlelight and wood interior, it's the perfect place to settle in for hours of conversation at the bar or out on the patio. Order a classic cocktail like Bourbon Renewal with bourbon, cassis, lemon, and bitters or go with one of their signature drinks like Beverley Bee with gin, grapefruit, lavender, honey, rosewater, and sea salt. Be on the lookout for food specials and live acoustic music performances to add a little something extra to your night.
