It’s back and better than ever. *Restaurant is permanently closed*<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\n

You\u00a0missed\u00a0out on A LOT<\/strong>\u00a0if you never tried The Girl + The Bull on Aguirre Ave. It opened in November 2013 and immediately became one of the South’s best-kept secrets\u00a0for its beautiful interiors, cozy ambience, and innovative approach on\u00a0food.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The restaurant closed its\u00a0doors in October 2015, but has\u00a0now found a new home!<\/p>\n

The Girl + The Bull<\/a> \u2014\u00a0Legaspi Village<\/h2>\n

The Girl + The Bull is the brainchild of\u00a0Gab Bustos<\/strong> (the bull) and Thea De Rivera<\/strong> (the girl), the same hip\u00a0couple behind\u00a0popular\u00a0Japanese izakaya restaurant, 12\/10<\/strong><\/a>. Inspired by their love of food and art, the product is a unique and visually pleasing dining experience.<\/p>\n

You might remember the first The Girl + The Bull\u00a0for these interiors:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Now, its\u00a0interiors feature a more colorful palette starting with\u00a0muted pink walls. It remains\u00a0girly, balanced with masculine details<\/strong>, “still a reflection of both The Girl<\/em> and\u00a0The Bull<\/em>” as Thea describes it.<\/p>\n

Art works, indie music, and a gorgeous high ceiling<\/strong> make the ambience\u00a0perfect for date nights and catch-ups<\/strong> with friends.<\/p>\n

As for the menu, old favorites like the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Faux Twix are still available–but\u00a0everything else is mostly new<\/strong>. It features\u00a0Western and Asian flavors<\/strong> in its selection of bread, snacks, starters, mains, and dessert.<\/p>\n

Fun fact:<\/strong> All items are made in-house, including their bread.<\/pre>\n
