The Belle & Dragon: Great Food, Draft Beers and a Secret Speakeasy Bar
Raising the bar for the Makati night scene since 2016
They say it’s easy to recognize a real pub when you see it. A few things define it: a complete and extensive alcohol selection, appealing interiors and really good grub. And let us tell you, The Belle & Dragon is the real deal.
The Belle & Dragon is a British-style restaurant pub offering bar chows, draft beers and other unique signature drinks.
Offering an “East Meets Pub” cuisine, this fresh and trendy pub serves all your classic bar chows and hot mains with a twist like:
Sake Butter Clams
Steamed clams, roasted mushrooms, sake, butter, leeks served with a side of grilled bread
Callos Fusilli
Slow braised tripe with tomatoes, chorizo, garbanzos beans, with fusilli pasta topped off with a poached egg and toasted bread crumbs

Unsure of what to order? Try their best-selling dishes:
Curry Calamari
Curry-buttermilk battered squid, green curry aioli
Masala Mac & Cheese
Cheesy baked macaroni in chicken tikka masala sauce, topped with crispy breadcrumbs and leeks
Or go for traditional English pub classics like:
Shepherd’s Pie

The Wurst Threesome

They also serve all-day breakfast staples such as Ye Olde English Breakfast and their premium Steak and Eggs. When a restaurant uses Kitayama Wagyu Flank Steak for their Steak & Eggs, you know they’re on to something.
Steak & Eggs
7 oz. Kitayama wagyu flank steak, bearnaise sauce, custom eggs, country potatoes, roasted tomato
Unknown to many and unlike other regular pubs, The Belle & Dragon serves specialty coffee. So for people who don’t necessarily drink, you can still visit to have a meal and coffee afterwards.
Watch The Belle & Dragon transform into a hipster’s dream pub at night.
Insider tip: It's located right above a Family Mart store.
Aside from the food, let’s not forget why people actually come to The Belle & Dragon– the drink selections. The Belle & Dragon offers 7 varieties of draft beer, which flows fresh off their taps, to pair and enjoy with their awesome grub.
Included in their menu are 3 local microbrews: Pedro White Ale, Pearl of the Orient Pale Ale, Pedro Pale Ale, and international staples such as Hoegaarden, Stella Artois and Paulaner Munchner Hell.
Special handcrafted cocktails are also available.
For those who seek some kind of privacy, The Belle and Dragon holds a big secret behind an old wooden wardrobe, which guests are quick to describe as “straight out of a Narnia movie.” Go ahead and step through the ornate doors. You’ll find yourself at Mandalay Whisky & Cigars, an Indochine-inspired speakeasy.
The Belle & Dragon is quite the place to be if you’re looking for a chill yet classy sports bar. It may seem intimidating to visit at first but the place is also ideal for people who are in the mood for a solo night cap. For those who seek to socialize, watch out for their weekly themed events.
