Need non-meat dishes\u00a0this Lent?\u00a0You’ve come to the right\u00a0place.
\n<\/p>\n

For heavy eaters like us, it’s difficult finding restaurants serving delicious non-meat options. Sometimes, we all need a break from our meaty adventures. For some, it’s\u00a0to make room for a lower cholesterol\u00a0intake, and for others, to observe their Lenten practices.<\/p>\n

Check out\u00a0these vegetarian and\u00a0pescetarian-friendly\u00a0restaurant finds this Holy Week.<\/p>\n

Corner Tree Cafe is a cozy little vegetarian cafe<\/strong> found on the busy Jupiter St. in Makati. They serve modern vegan and gluten-free dishes from various cuisines as well as good wines, local beers and house cocktails. It\u2019s for<\/strong> both vegetarians and omnivores. It\u2019s not for<\/strong>\u00a0loud drinking nights with friends.\u00a0We recommend<\/strong> the Vegetarian Chili Bowl, Baked Tofu Walnut Burger (seen above!), and the Spinach & Mushroom Lasagna.\u00a0Our insider tip<\/strong> is that they have special menus for kids and Sunday brunches.<\/p>\n

Pipino Vegetarian,\u00a0the vegetarian<\/strong>\u00a0sister of Pino Restaurant, was created out of\u00a0passion for serving \u2018kickass healthy food everyday\u2019 without sacrificing taste, presentation and customer satisfaction. It\u2019s for<\/strong> vegetarians and curious carnivores.It\u2019s not for\u00a0<\/strong>people who want non-Filipino dishes. We recommend<\/strong> the Vegetable Kare-kare, Vegan Lasagna, and Watermelon Steak. Our insider tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Only Pino customers can order from Pipino but not vice versa. P.S.

Ming Kee Live Seafood is a popular seafood restaurant<\/strong> found in Macpherson Road in\u00a0Singapore and is most famous for its fresh dishes, specifically its Crab Beehon dish. It’s for<\/strong> diners looking for authentic Singaporean dishes. It’s not for<\/strong> people who don’t have the patience to work with crabs before having their first bite. We recommend<\/strong> the Triple Cooked with Beehon and Braised Beancurd in Claypot. Our insider tip<\/strong> is to visit the restaurant as a group in order to maximize their big servings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Edgy Veggy, by agriculturist and health advocate Denise Celdran, began as a mission to promote wellness and proper diet for vegetarians. They are primarily a vegetarian food delivery service <\/strong>but also a small cafe serving the Kapitolyo-based residents and office goers. It\u2019s for<\/strong>\u00a0people\u00a0living alone or don\u2019t have time to prepare their own organic veggie meals. It\u2019s\u00a0not for<\/strong> people who want\u00a0meat in their daily diet. We recommend<\/strong> the Big Burger Burrito and Korean rice meal. Our insider tip<\/strong> is that they\u2019re closed on Sundays, so plan your veggie meals by having your food delivered ahead of time.<\/p>\n

SUSI is Manila\u2019s first and only 100% plant-based restaurant and deli<\/strong>. Susi<\/em>, which is Tagalog for key, is the name and symbol\u00a0that best represents their corporate mission. Their advocacy for a meatless lifestyle is what they deem as the \u2018key to sustainable living\u2019<\/em>. It\u2019s for<\/strong> anyone who loves\u00a0modern vegetarian\/vegan cuisines. It\u2019s not for<\/strong>\u00a0meat-lovers. We recommend<\/strong> the El Chimichurri and the Beet Burger.\u00a0Our insider tip<\/strong> is that SUSI’s owner is actually the niece of Corner Tree Cafe’s owner, so you just know you could get great, healthy food at both restaurants!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s for<\/strong> people who love to eat and share the same advocacy. It\u2019s not for<\/strong>\u00a0breakfast eaters. We recommend <\/strong>the Prawn Spring Roll, their\u00a0soft taco selections, and Goat\u2019s Cheese Frozen Cheesecake.\u00a0Our insider tip<\/strong>\u00a0is to try visiting them during weekdays, since it may be difficult to find parking.<\/p>\n

Bait’s by Chef Joseph Margate is a market-driven seafood restaurant<\/strong> in Manila helmed by one of NYC’s finest chefs. It’s for<\/strong> people who love trying unique takes on seafood classics. It’s not for<\/strong> people who want the usual Filipino grilled seafood. We recommend<\/strong> the\u00a0Tuna Tartare, Grilled Prawns, and Torched Mackerel. Our insider tip<\/strong> is to check out their All-You-Can-Drink promos at their Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bag O’ Shrimps is a \u201cwharf-in-the-city\u201d seafood-shack<\/strong> featuring rich flavors of the sea. It’s for<\/strong> people who love eating loads of shrimp and don’t mind getting their hands dirty while they’re at it. It’s not for<\/strong> diners who are total neat freaks when it comes to eating their food.\u00a0We recommend<\/strong> the\u00a0Bag O’ Momma Shrimps by the Bag. Our insider tip<\/strong> is to go mild for starters, since lots of people\u00a0say it’s still too spicy.<\/p>\n

Hai Shin Lou offers authentic Cantonese cuisine<\/strong> highlighting various seafood\u00a0fresh off their tanks.

We recommend<\/strong> the\u00a0Steamed Lapu-lapu, Peppercorn Sea Mantis, and Fried Rice with Seafood and Olive Leaf. Our insider tip<\/strong> is to book this place for family gatherings.
