Single Origin is a commonplace for\u00a0brunch,\u00a0coffee and alcohol<\/strong>.\u00a0It is\u00a0is the\u00a0second\u00a0collaboration between Carlo Lorenzana and Dodgie Vialogo, the same duo behind Nikkei fame.\u00a0It\u2019s become a popular choice for <\/strong>lunch\u00a0meetings\u00a0<\/strong>and an after-work drinking spot. It\u2019s not for <\/strong>diners who want alone time as tables are meant for sharing.\u00a0We recommend the\u00a0<\/strong>Single Origin Burger,<\/strong>\u00a0Surf n Turf Beer Dough Pizza, S.O. French Toast.\u00a0<\/strong>Don\u2019t forget to try their\u00a0Valrhona Mocha Latte.\u00a0Our insider tip:<\/strong>\u00a0They serve specialty Lamill coffee blends from California. Full feature here.<\/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\u2019re 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

Vikings Luxury Buffet opened its first branch in the Mall of Asia complex in 2011. Five years and nine branches later, it is now considered the\u00a0Philippines\u2019 largest luxury buffet <\/strong>chain.\u00a0This homegrown brand\u00a0has expanded all around Metro Manila, the Visayas and Mindanao (full feature here).\u00a0It\u2019s for\u00a0<\/strong>families and groups who are looking to celebrate special occasions affordably. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people who prefer the quiet and relaxed ambiance of a hotel buffet. Fun Fact:\u00a0<\/b>Every Vikings branch has a unique design theme, SM Jazz\u2019s is European.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Girl + The Bull is the brainchild of hip and young couple\u00a0Gab Bustos (the bull) and Thea de Rivera (the girl). Their combined passion for\u00a0food and art<\/strong>\u00a0is translated onto every\u00a0plate they serve. After their first branch in BF Homes closed down and a short hiatus, they’re now back in all new Makati location.\u00a0It\u2019s for<\/strong>\u00a0people who love to Instagram their food.\u00a0It\u2019s not for\u00a0<\/strong>people looking for loud music and live bands.\u00a0We recommend<\/strong>\u00a0their signature Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Faux Twix for desserts. But also try their new\u00a0Bone Marrow with Burnt Onion and Lychee.\u00a0Our insider tip<\/strong>\u00a0is head upstairs to\u00a0find a secret bar\u00a0featuring their\u00a0extensive wine selection, plus coffee by Habitual Coffee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

La Cabrera is an Argentinian steakhouse<\/strong> found\u00a0amidst the busy office district of Makati. The rustic and country interiors add to the elegance and charm of the restaurant. They serve\u00a0all-meat entrees with unlimited side dishes.\u00a0It\u2019s for<\/strong>\u00a0groups who love to share orders.\u00a0It\u2019s not for<\/strong> vegetarians. We recommend<\/strong> the Provoleta,\u00a0Ojo de Bife and\u00a0Rogel De Dulce De Leche for a sweet ending.\u00a0Our insider tip<\/strong>\u00a0is get a\u00a0seat away from the open grill, customers say it gets quite warm in the area.

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

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

Recently listed as one of the world’s best restaurants<\/a>, Your Local is a neighbourhood bistro serving\u00a0modern Southeast Asian<\/strong> dishes.\u00a0Opened by Chef Denny Antonino and Nicco Santos, the restaurant has a hipster meets industrial vibe and serves all day brunch together with their standard menu.\u00a0It\u2019s for<\/b>\u00a0yuppies in the area or intimate but casual date nights. 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

Little Tokyo\u00a0is a food hub of restaurants featuring unique Japanese specialties like yakitori, wagyu, okonomiyaki and more. Izakaya Kikufuji is one of them and it 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.
