After seeing a wave of Filipino restaurants open in Sydney and Melbourne, Ardlee Indoy and Eloise Bayaras were inspired to open a diner to prove to their guests that there’s more to Filipino cuisine than adobo. Kalye’s menu is a pared-back series of street food favourites, neatly divided into columns for mains and extras. Leading the menu is inasal (grilled chicken, a quintessential street food). There’s also pares, a rich beef broth served with tripe and bone marrow on the side. The drinks menu is sweet, including gulaman (brown sugar juice and jelly) and buko pandan, packed with coconut shreds.
