Ilustrado is a fine dining Filipino-Spanish restaurant that has been operating since 1989 inside the historic walled city, Intramuros.

Insider tip: Enjoy Buy 1 Get 1 Churros Clasicos at Churreria La Lola with Booky!
Churreria La Lola, from the same group behind Rambla, is a dessert shop featuring this popular Spanish dough pastry: deep fried churros. They offer classic churros served with their signature Belgian chocolate dip and a variety of xuxos or stuffed churros, alongside summer Spanish drinks like horchata. It’s for anyone craving a filling dessert or snack. It’s not for people looking for lunch or dinner options. We recommend the Classic Churros with Hot Belgian Chocolate Cup or the Mixed Churros to get 2 flavors in one cup. Our insider tip: Check out their unique flavors like matcha, strawberry, and ube!

New entry
First in the Philippines offering their signature pan fried soup dumpling (Sheng Jian Bao) from Shanghai, China. They are a casual Chinese restaurant focused on wheat flour inspired recipes found throughout China. It’s for people who love Chinese food. It’s not for those who don’t eat wheat. We recommend their Pan Fried Pork Soup Dumplings, Shao Bing Sandwich, and of course their Chinese Fried Chicken.

Last month’s #1
BITE (Buffet in Time Espalanade) is the first to offer time-based buffet (168.00 for 30 minutes) in the Philippines. They offer a wide selection of an eat-all-you-can Asian and Western dishes. It’s for people who are on a budget, but still want a heavy meal. It’s not for people who want a sit down meal. We recommend their P368 buffet rate for unli time.
