Rambla is a Spanish Mediterranean<\/strong> restaurant specializing in Catalan food brought to us by the guys behind Las Flores. Spanish chef Pepe Lopez uses modern gastronomy techniques on familiar dishes and offers a great wine list. It\u2019s for<\/strong> the grown ups who appreciate quality dishes. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> big family occasions that are constrained by budget. We recommend<\/strong> the Tuna Tataki (in photo), Octopus Carpaccio, Trio de Chorizos, and the Iberico Pork. Don\u2019t forget to order any or all\u00a0of their signature paellas.\u00a0Our insider tip<\/strong> is to ask Uri, Dani, and Sergi to recommend you a cocktail or wine pairing. P.S. Always ask for what\u2019s\u00a0new, because they regularly change\u00a0their menu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mendokoro Ramenba is a 20-seater\u00a0ramen\u00a0joint<\/strong>\u00a0from the people behind popular Ramen Yushoken from Alabang; it is also called being tagged as\u00a0Yushoken 2.0. It\u2019s for<\/strong> people who don\u2019t mind queuing a bit for a spot at the table. It\u2019s not for\u00a0<\/strong>people who\u00a0want rice bowls and other Japanese favorites. We recommend<\/strong> the Tantanmen, Shio Ramen, and Super Chasu Bowl.\u00a0Our insider tip<\/strong> is if you’re in a big group,\u00a0be ready to be seated separately if you want to get seats faster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Le Petit Souffle is\u00a0a\u00a0French and Japanese-inspired cafe\u00a0<\/strong>from the Tasteless Group (of Hole in the Wall, Scout\u2019s Honor, Bad Bird, Wrong Ramen, etc). They serve\u00a0modern dishes crafted with flavors and precision of Japanese and\u00a0French\u00a0cuisines. It\u2019s for\u00a0<\/strong>anyone with\u00a0adventurous taste buds. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people who are on short meal breaks. We recommend\u00a0<\/strong>you try their French Toast, Foie Mac n Cheese, Squid Ink Rice, then cap off with their souffl\u00e9s and matcha dessert selections. Here\u2019s an\u00a0insider tip<\/strong>:\u00a0Always watch out for Chef Miko\u2019s new dishes and desserts. P.S. Tasteless Group just launched a new hot and cold combo dessert shop, called Freezerburn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Nikkei is the first Peruvian-Japanese<\/strong>\u00a0sushi bar in Manila headed by Argentinian Chef Christian Cejas. \u201cNikkei\u201d is a term that describes Peruvian cuisine culturally inspired by the Japanese; it\u00a0is the latest food trend in Europe.\u00a0It\u2019s for<\/strong> adventurous eaters who love to try new cuisines. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people looking for party-sized\u00a0servings. We recommend<\/strong> the Salmon Belly Nigiri, Miso Kurobuta, Seared Tuna, Kobi Nigiri Sushi and Parmesan Scallops. Our insider tip<\/strong> is\u00a0get their good-for-sharing\u00a0Tres Leches dessert for free when you submit feedback to the restaurant using your Booky app!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people who prefer the quiet and relaxed ambiance of a hotel buffet.

Trufa is a cozy and\u00a0rustic\u00a0Catalan-inspired build-your-own pasta bar\u00a0<\/strong>that creatively combines the best of Barcelona and Manila. Owners Tricia Espino and Gerard Lorenta built the concept inspired from\u00a0their travels, creating an outlet for their love for\u00a0the humble pasta dish. It\u2019s for\u00a0<\/strong>anyone who enjoys DIY and picking out ingredients. You can choose from among selections of pasta, salsa and toppings. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> impatient people. We recommend<\/strong> any of their pasta with truffle. Our insider tip<\/strong> is they\u2019re closed on Sundays. Fun Fact:<\/strong> Trufa means truffle in Spanish.

Ooma is a modern Japanese<\/strong> restaurant by the Moment Group and young acclaimed chef Bruce Ricketts, the same partnership\u00a0that brought us Mecha Uma. Ooma, a wordplay on Uma meaning \u2018good\u2019, promises bold Japanese flavors at affordable prices. It\u2019s for<\/strong> people looking for\u00a0quality sushi at affordable prices. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people looking for ramen. We recommend<\/strong> the Soft Shell Crab Taco-Maki, Hangar Steak and Uni Udon.\u00a0Our insider tip<\/strong> is that at Ooma, you get to \u2018brush\u2019 (not dip) soy sauce on your sushi. P.S. Servers roam around with buckets giving out unlimited rice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Izakaya Kikufuji serves fresh sashimi\u00a0and affordable and tummy-filling\u00a0bento\u00a0sets. It\u2019s for<\/strong> people who want to experience authentic Japanese style dining\u2013kimonos, tatami mats, Japanese families and all.\u00a0It\u2019s not<\/strong> for those looking\u00a0for a\u00a0quick ramen bowl. Aside from their sashimi selections,\u00a0we recommend\u00a0<\/strong>their Wagyu sticks\u00a0and spicy salmon sushi. Our off-menu\u00a0tips: <\/strong>(1) They\u00a0can order you Japanese fried rice from its neighbor restaurant.

It\u2019s not for\u00a0<\/b>people looking for quick Asian\u00a0takeouts. We recommend<\/b> the Lamb Rendang and Torched Salmon Donburi and their\u00a0value-for-money\u00a024 Hour Sous Vide Corn Fed USDA Choice Beef Short Rib.\u00a0Our insider tip\u00a0<\/b>is\u00a0Chef Nicco just opened a brave new Chinese\/Malaysian\/Indonesian concept restaurant in BGC called Hey Handsome.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
