Old Swiss Inn will close its Makati branch on July 1 after 32 years, according to a post published on its official Facebook page on April 20.
The restaurant has been part of the city’s dining landscape for decades, known for its European comfort food and its steady, unchanged presence amid a constantly shifting food scene.
I’ll miss the signature fresh corned beef—a staple that defined many meals there—and the Makati branch’s intimate, old-school interiors. The closure, however, does not signal an exit for the brand.
Old Swiss Inn continues to operate its Paco branch, which carries the same menu and character, now in a refreshed space. The restaurant is also pushing further into off-site dining, with party platters, takeout options, and its “Dinner Drop” delivery service.
A deli line under Swiss Inn Deli remains available, offering all-natural products for home consumption, while catering services continue for private events and gatherings.
To mark the final months of the Makati branch, the restaurant is introducing a “Signature Moments Card” from May 1 to July 1, giving diners a last opportunity to return, with added rewards and in-store promotions tied to the program.
The group is also exploring new locations, pointing to plans for expansion even as it closes one of its longest-running sites.
