You can’t find these anywhere else!
The South may have Poblacion, but the North proudly houses one of the best areas filled with bars, resto pubs, and more importantly, unique restaurants you won’t find anywhere else—Tomas Morato.
Although Tomas Morato is known to be an avenue lined up with several restaurants, the other streets/avenues/areas—like Mother Ignacia and Sct. Lazcano – is usually considered as a part-of-sorts with Tomas Morato. The result? When you want to know which Tomas Morato restaurants to eat at, there are just too many options.
