When the kalat is literal!
First dates are about leaving a good impression and having your best foot forward. For a lot of us, this could mean going to fancy restaurants, dressing up nice, and being on our best behavior. However, after a couple of dates go by (hopefully), you start loosening up, you get more vulnerable and you’re not always at your very best.

From eating with your hands or eating messy in general, here are 8 restaurants to get down and dirty, from Gubat to buffets, smokey Korean barbeques, and more!
Gubat
One of the trendiest restaurants, Gubat has earned a reputation for serving delicious food at an affordable price, all while surrounded by nature. Eat with your hands like our ancestors did and show your date what it looks like to disassemble a shrimp with your bare hands.
BLK 513
Catering to the recent yogurt ice cream trends, BLK 513 offers charcoal-infused yogurt that promotes healthy digestion and anti-aging properties. However, since the yogurt is a dark color it will turn even the brightest of smiles dark.
Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory
Another dessert place on this list is Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory, from milk pies to cream puffs and even ice cream everything is made from high-quality cheese. While cheese isn’t the messiest food to eat, lactose intolerants should be aware of the consequences later on.
Premier The Samgyupsal
For any barbecue place, we recommend not using any perfume at all and being prepared to smell like the most premium slab of grilled pork. At Premier the Samgyupsal you’ll be treated to some of the best cuts of meats you can grill as well as unlimited side dishes like steamed egg, fish cakes, and kimchi.
Steak and Wine Unlimited
While most dates involve either steak, wine, or both, you can consume copious amounts of both at Steak and Wine Unlimited. Not only is it affordable, starting at P799, but they also serve quality cuts of steak for its price as well as unlimited side dishes!
El Poco Cantina
While Mexican food can be messy its deliciousness and salivating heat make it nearly impossible to say no to. El Poco Cantina is just one of the said restaurants, with its spicy birria tacos and filling burritos
