With increasing openness for healthy foods and specialized menus, chefs are enjoying a bigger playground to experiment and create. Now, despite the many international franchises that arrived in the Philippines this year, Booky<\/a> results show growing fondness from locals for homegrown eats. Here we list the top 10 most loved restaurants in Fort Bonifacio (or Bonifacio Global City or BGC or The Fort!) for the month of December; results are based on the number of people who have added a restaurant to their ‘Favorites’ list.<\/p>\n

The Early Bird Breakfast Club is a whole-day breakfast cafe<\/strong> that has redefined and redesigned our breakfast favorites. They aim to serve ‘<\/em>beautiful breakfast morning, noon and night’<\/em>. It’s for<\/strong> people who loves beautifully plated dishes. It’s not for<\/strong> people looking for non-breakfast options. We recommend<\/strong> the French Toast Fondue and Yin & Yang<\/a> Champorado. Our insider tip <\/strong>is to visit every Monday to Thursday from 7AM to 11AM for bottomless coffee. P.S. They’re open 24 hours on Fridays and Saturdays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After the quick rise to success of Sensei Sushi<\/a>, Chef Bruce Ricketts is again back with a bang with his creative kitchen studio<\/strong> Mecha Uma–the newest kid on the block hidden in the quieter side of Fort Bonifacio. Mecha Uma<\/em>, which means absurdly delicious, serves mostly Japanese-inspired dishes<\/strong> that are sure to tickle your eyes and buds. It’s for<\/strong> people who are adventurous and want an out-of-the-box culinary experience. It’s not for<\/strong> people who are looking for a full plate. We recommend <\/strong>you to try their 10-course Omakase<\/em>, which literally means ‘I’ll leave it to you’<\/em>. Our insider tip<\/strong> is make sure to get one from the 10 most coveted seats at the degustation bar for a complete experience. Make advanced reservations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Black Sheep is a single malt whisky bar<\/strong> and modern gastronomy restaurant <\/strong>in one sitting atop the W Fifth Building. It boasts of an intimate dining and whisky pairing experience with a view. They serve only a 5 and 7-course set menu<\/strong> designed by Chef Jordy Navarra. It’s for<\/strong> couples or small groups out to celebrate a special occasion. It’s not for<\/strong> big groups looking to share meals. Our insider tip<\/b> is there’s a special set menu for vegetarians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mamou is definitely more than just \u2018<\/strong>A Home Kitchen\u2019<\/strong>. <\/em>Innovation and consistency are key factors to thrive in the restaurant industry and Malou Flores has done exactly that. Just ask the Philippine Tatler, they\u2019ve included Mamou in their annual Best Restaurants List for 7 straight years (which is the same number of years they\u2019ve been operating). It\u2019s for<\/strong> families and groups who enjoy comfort food <\/strong>in an elegant setting. It\u2019s not<\/strong> for people who are looking for cheap wine nights. We recommend<\/strong> their Angus Ribeye Steak and Lorenzo\u2019s Truffle Cream. Our insider tip <\/strong>is if you still have room for dessert, make sure to try their signature Key Lime Pie!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Abe is named after the late artist-writer and gourmet E. Aguilar \u201cAbe\u201d Cruz. The restaurant serves traditional Filipino<\/strong> food with Capampangan<\/strong> accents. It is part of The LJC Group of Restaurants, same group that manages Fely J’s, Cafe Adriatico, Lorenzo’s Way, etc. It’s for<\/strong> friends and family who want to feast on good food and have a good time. It’s not<\/strong> for intimate dates. We recommend <\/strong>the Lamb Adobo and Bamboo Rice. Our insider tip<\/strong> is to visit on your birthday for a serenade and free dessert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Crisp on 28th is a neighborhood cafe located on the 28th street in BGC created by ‘the fat kid inside’<\/em> Erwan Heussaff. It serves all-day breakfast and international favorites <\/strong>with a modern twist from Erwan, presented on beautiful vintage plates. It’s for<\/strong> the health conscious and yuppy crowd. It’s not for <\/strong>people looking to fill up on rice. We recommend<\/strong> the Chipotle Chicken Quinoa Salad and the Bibimbap. Our insider tip<\/strong> is always ask for the specials menu and try to stop by on Wednesday night for live music.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sarsa Kitchen + Bar (‘sarsa’<\/em> meaning sauce in English) was created based on the premise that Filipinos love eating food with accompanying sauces or condiments. Celebrity chef JP Anglo, who is from Bacolod, has successfully housed the best of traditional Filipino and Negrense <\/strong>(from Negros) dishes into one kitchen. It’s for people<\/strong> who don’t mind a mix of flavorful sauces on their plates.  It’s not for<\/strong> people who are on a ‘no-rice’ diet. We recommend<\/strong> the Sizzling Kansi and Inasal na Isaw. Our insider tip<\/strong> is no parking in BGC Forum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Wholesome Table  is an organic restaurant<\/b> that serves comfort food opened by Bianca Araneta-Elizalde who previously opened Aria in Boracay. All produce is organic and sourced locally where possible, the meat is pasture raised and ingredients are not processed or refined. It\u2019s for<\/b> the hip and health conscious. It\u2019s not for<\/b> people who drink carbtrim or coke zero. We recommend<\/b> their powerbowls and smoothies. Their bestsellers<\/b> are the Pork Chops and the Meatloaf, but customers seem to be in love with their Burrata and Chicken Dukkah Salad. Our insider tip<\/b> is that it\u2019s dog-friendly so bring along your best buddy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Wildflour Caf\u00e9 + Bakery Fort Bonifacio is the first branch of this popular restaurant group offering international fare and specialty breads and cakes<\/b>. It is a bakery at heart and once famed for being the cronut destination in Manila. It\u2019s for <\/b>people who enjoy the feeling of slow Sunday mornings. It\u2019s not for<\/b> people who want a quiet or quick meal. We recommend <\/b>their grilled cheese salad and soup combo and their mushroom salad. Their bestsellers <\/b>are the pulled pork sliders and the kimchi steak fried rice. Our insider tip <\/b>is to get pastries for 50% off after 7PM! Their much-coveted cronuts are still available, for pre-order.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Todd English offers food from all over the world<\/b> in an upscale food hall setting. A large restaurant with 9 different food stations, it is branded after American celebrity chef Todd English. It\u2019s for <\/b>people who like big menus or want to eat in a big group. It\u2019s not<\/b> for<\/b> an intimate experience. We recommend<\/strong> the two way duck, Brooklyn meatball spaghetti and their flat breads. Our insider tip<\/b> is to order from their white truffle menu (while stocks lasts). Also, after the widely popular and instagrammed OMG Cake comes the ‘The Bomb’, which we hear is the<\/em> <\/strong>bomb.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
