Araceli

What is Araceli? At 4 St. Patrick Street in the Discovery District—steps from St Patrick Station—Araceli is the new Filipino kitchen from David and Cecilia Noon, the couple behind Isabella's Donuts. It returns to their former St. Patrick shop as a sister brand beside a reopened Isabella's counter: fast-casual bowls and sandwiches built on adobo, calamansi, coconut, and garlic, not a rename of the doughnut line.

Araceli Menu & What to Order Expect hearty, comfort-forward Filipino plates in bowl and sandwich form—think braised and citrus-bright flavours rather than a tasting-menu flex. Opening-day teasers lean barbecue and shareable fiesta food alongside the sandwich program; regular hours and a full standing menu land after the Sep 19 launch. Grab an Isabella's mochi doughnut from the same address if you want sweet after savoury.

Know Before You Go Grand opening is Saturday, September 19, 2026 from noon (doors at 12pm), with a Filipino-style fiesta, 50% off the menu that day, and free Araceli sandwiches with purchase 4–6pm. Follow @isabellasdonuts for day-of updates; site isabellasdonuts.com. Regular hours after launch are not published yet—confirm on Instagram before you go. This is the move when you want a new Filipino counter downtown without booking a dinner reservation.
