Joel’s Place is a new shop that redefines the way we experience food. It’s a grocerant—a grocery and a restaurant. It is more than just a place to shop for fresh food and groceries. It is also a place that provides an elevated food experience for all senses.
A trend that is leading the food market into the future, a grocerant bridges the gap between restaurants and supermarkets allowing people to save both time and effort for shopping and preparing meals.

How It Came To Be
Helmed by President and CEO Donnie Tantoco and COO Christopher Tantoco, Joel’s Place embodies the Rustan Group’s commitment to making everyday luxuries accessible within a friendly, joyful, and contemporary Filipino setting.
Donnie Tantoco says “The food market is evolving as consumer habits change. Responding to the demand for convenient ways to meet the needs in our fast-paced society, grocerants have emerged as a revolutionary solution. At the forefront of this transformative trend is Joel’s Place, the most modern grocerant in the Philippines. Time is a luxury, and Joel’s Place is our solution, seamlessly blending necessity and experience. It’s more than fulfilling needs. It’s a bridge between grocery shopping and dining out. As well as nurturing a community bound together by a collective enthusiasm for food and gatherings.”
Exquisite Ambiance
The store’s inviting ambiance sets the stage for a delightful journey through the world of food with fresh produce, artisanal products, and international specialties lining their shelves.
The more than 800 square meter space is a place to shop, eat, or hang out. Explore the aisles filled with gourmet delicacies like Martiko Bloc de Foie Gras de Pato, a premium duck foie gras block renowned for its exceptional quality.

Dok Dall’Ava only produces 30,000 hams a year to focus on ensuring a higher quality of meat. Delight in Filipino culinary treasures like Pako (Fern), a type of fern commonly consumed as a vegetable, or Prime Organics’ Adlai, a delicious, versatile grain rich in fiber. They have canned cod and sardines from Portugal and Spain as well as butters from France and Italy!
