For those who knew him, the late Myron Papa was a man who was larger than life. A major player in the Makati Stock Exchange, he was quite popular in business circles, and was known to be a generous host to family, close friends, and business acquaintances. “He loved to entertain people with only the best food and wine,” recalls his daughter and chef-restaurateur Monica Papa Eugenio. “When it came to get-togethers at home, he was very conscious about the quality of food being served, and very generous with the servings. You go home happy and well fed after a date with Myron.” The restaurant that bears Myron’s name reflects the businessman’s love for dolce vita, and a penchant for hearty hospitality. Monique’s husband, Ramon Eugenio, also a chef and co-owner of the establishment thought it to be a natural fit to name their establishment after a man who provided joy and contentment through good food and wine.
