Acclaimed Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood Filipino restaurant Kultura, led by James Beard-nominated Chef Nikko Cagalanan, is growing — and not just in popularity. The petite 760-sqft Spring Street location is expanding to a larger space just a few blocks away at 267 Rutledge Ave.
“Kultura is more than a restaurant to me — it’s a way to share my culture, my story, and the warmth of Filipino hospitality,” said Cagalanan in a press release.

Did you know the restaurant started as a pop-up? Chef Nikko first introduced his culinary vision to the Holy City through his pop-up, Mansueta’s Filipino Food. The success of that project led to the opening of Kultura in 2023.
The new space will offer a larger kitchen, expanded dining room, and a full bar, which will allow the beverage director, Jessica Ford, to introduce a revamped drinks and mocktail menu.
The original location at 73 Spring Street will remain open until the transition is complete — stay tuned for an official opening date.
