Animals > humans most of the time… if not all the time, right?
Our pets mean the world to us that sometimes others just don’t understand but honestly, who cares what they think?? They’re our babies! They deserve all the love and attention and luckily for us Manileños, Manila has slowly become more open to allowing our pets in a number of establishments.
Instead of just leaving our furry babies behind, we can now bring them out and about so they can explore all the sights and smells that they used to just typically smell from us when we get back home.
We’ve rounded up a number of pet-friendly restaurants to make things easier for you so you spend more time with your pets and less time worrying if the place allows them or not!
Under the Balete
One of Quezon City’s best restaurants just got better for pet owners as Under the Balete is actually pet-friendly. When ordering food we recommend trying the shrimp and scallop mac & cheese, bone-in porkchop, and chicken and waffles.
