When splurging isn’t an option!
We often associate good food with a hefty price tag, but that shouldn’t be the case. Some restaurants with big names, intricate interiors and a stellar reputation can be intimidating, but it doesn’t always have to be that way if you know how to get the best eats for less.
The purpose of this list is to give readers a refreshing perspective on some of the best restaurants in the metro that actually serve delicious, value-for-money meals.
Update: Check out our new Buy 1 Get 1 deals this week!
Insider tip: With affordable eats like these, you’d think you’ve already hit the jackpot. But hey, wait a minute – whip out your smartphones and download Booky so that you can get up to P500 off your total bill on any of these restaurants. To put a cherry on top of that, you even get a free dessert when you answer our quick survey form! Sounds like a good deal to us.
