Maximalist brunch spot in Makati
Since minimalism started to become popular in the past several years, we’ve seen so many dining spots adapt this interior design style. Due to this, places that have maximalist interiors have become quite rare.
Thankfully for maximalists in the metro, a new brunch spot opened in Makati in November 2021. Bon Appetit at 1120 House serves approachable yet artfully plated French bistro dishes. This dining spot is also a feast for the eyes with maximalist, romantic, and bohemian interiors.

Within 1120 House’s simplistic, modern structure with cement finish walls lies Bon Appetit that replenishes your creativity with its artful design just as it fills your tummy.
Giving the restaurant a romantic mood are seats and throws with floral prints. Flower arrangements, big and small, are scattered all over the restaurant.

Wood is also heavily incorporated into its interior, with seats, light fixtures, and decor made with wood strips woven in different styles.
Despite all of these elements, Bon Appetit looks spacious with big glass windows that provide its interiors with ample lighting.
