10. Icho – Annapolis
219 Favorites
Last month’s #5
Icho offers Japanese favorites like sushi, sashimi, rolls, donburis, teppanyaki, robatayaki, aburi sushi and ramen. This is their first branch in the Metro. It’s for people who are looking for a new Japanese resto to try in the Greenhills area. It’s not for those who prefer the gritty hole-in-the-wall vibe of Little Tokyo. We recommend their Robata platter and spicy tuna salad served in crispy rice shells.

9. Dohtonbori – Greenhills
237 Favorites
Last month’s #7
All the way from Tokyo, Dohtonbori is Japan’s #1 okonomiyaki restaurant chain that offers the first cook-your-own okonomiyaki experience in Manila. This is its first branch in the Philippines. It’s for foodies who enjoy DIY meals, but don’t worry as the servers can also cook for you. It’s not for people who prefer American-style pancakes. We recommend the Deluxe Okonomiyaki, Four-Cheese and Dohtonbori pizzas, and their premium yakiniku. Our insider tip: Skip the queue, you can book a table through Booky at their Greenhills and SM North branches!

It’s for people whose number one requirement for eating in a Chinese restaurant is authenticity. The proof? You’ll see a lot of Chinese diners! We recommend their xiao long bao, beef hofan, roast duck, and salt and pepper spare ribs. Our insider tip: they have a store inside where they sell frozen dim sum and other treats for you to enjoy at home.

4. Wildflour Café + Bakery – Wilson
296 Favorites
Last month’s #6
Wildflour Café + Bakery offers international fare and specialty pastries, famous for being the first purveyor of the wildly popular cronuts in Manila. It’s for people who enjoy breakfast, brunch or lunch in a place that always reminds you of Sunday mornings. It’s not for office employees who want quick meals for their weekday lunch break. We recommend their grilled cheese salad and soup combo, mushroom salad, pulled pork sliders and their bestselling kimchi steak fried rice. Don’t forget their über moist to-die-for chocolate cake for dessert! Our insider tip is to get pastries at 50% off after 7pm.

Last month’s #4
Flossom Kitchen and Cafe offers all-day breakfast, Filipino breakfast dishes, as well as salads, pastries and coffee. They’ll soon be offering charcuterie boards and wines on their menu, so keep that in mind for your next date night! It’s for people on the hunt for an Instagrammable chill out spot. It’s not for men with fragile masculinity. We recommend their best-sellers: Pan-Grilled Salmon, Truffle & Egg Croissant, and Molten Lava Burger. Our insider tip: This is the ideal place to spoil your girlfriends! The cafe is housed in the same place as Benibana Beauty Hub – a beauty salon that specializes in hair, nails, and facials.

2. FETA Mediterranean – Annapolis
394 Favorites
Last month’s #3
FETA serves Mediterranean cuisine by Chef Beyto Koc. It’s not uncommon to see Lebanese, Iranian, or other groups of Middle Eastern ethnicities dining here – a tell-tale sign of its authenticity! It’s for people who like mouthwatering dishes that make use of bold and exotic spices. It’s not for solo diners with small appetites – the servings are generous and good for sharing! We recommend their Kebap on a Stick, their Beef Pide, and their Lamb Shank. Our insider tip: Order the Platter of Mezedes to enjoy a sample of their best appetizers: eggplant salad, hummus, ezme, tzatiki, ghanoush, and keftedes.

Last month’s #2
Expect the unexpected at Fukujin Izakaya. This modern Japanese restaurant is constantly reinventing dishes, pushing boundaries, and developing new menu items on a regular basis. It’s for people who like to be surprised by progressive cuisine. It’s not for people looking for an authentic taste of Japan. We recommend the Land and Sea Maki, Umami Chicken Soba, and Nori Ice Cream.
