Hidden gems are better this way.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Payday weekend typically means more spending, more traffic, and definitely this too: More food<\/strong>. And while we can’t do anything about the traffic situation, the Booky app<\/a> <\/strong>can fix the spending part.<\/p>\n

Booky is an offline restaurant directory<\/strong> with over 15,000 restaurants in its database where you can check their contact details, locations, and menus. Currently, 400 of Manila’s top restaurants are Booky Prime partner restaurants<\/a> where you can instantly book a table and get discounts<\/strong> of up to P500 off your total bill.<\/p>\n

Check out these 10 restaurants; one of them might just be your new favorite hangout spot!<\/p>\n

The Red Dot Modern Japanese Bistro<\/a> – Legaspi Village<\/h2>\n

The Red Dot is a casual bistro by Chef Chris Oronce, and it serves Japanese<\/strong> favorites with a modern touch. It’s for<\/strong> Makati locals looking for a hearty office lunch or after-work hangout. It’s not for<\/strong> those looking for ramen. We recommend<\/strong> the donburi rice bowls, sushi, and bento specials. Our insider tip<\/strong>: The restroom inside the restaurant is only for females. The male restroom is located outside the place, in the building lobby.<\/p>\n

VU’s<\/a> – Marco Polo Ortigas<\/h2>\n

Vu’s is a sky bar and lounge<\/strong> that features a 180 degree unobstructed view of Manila. It offers a vast selection of cocktails, wines and other spirits, and a well-curated line-up of dishes. It’s for<\/strong> chill dates or barkada nights out, especially when you want a great view of the city. It’s not really for<\/strong> family get-togethers with the oldies. We recommend<\/strong> the Pan-Seared Scallops and the Dark Chocolate Tart. Our insider tip<\/strong>: The serving sizes may look small, but they’re definitely worth it.<\/p>\n
