It's been long way for Jonathan Bayad who started in the hospitality industry 14 years ago picking up glasses, waiting tables, and now as he is confidently saying it "owner".


Rey's Place, named after his father, is described as a modern Filipino restaurant offering traditional food like kare-kare and lechon, but with a modern twist.

Bayad says it's time for Australia to see more Filipino restaurants and before anyone else will put up, he just needed to be ahead of anyone.

He quips: "The Filipino cuisine is underrepresented in the modern culture especially in Australia."
