The Wholesome Table is an organic restaurant<\/b> that serves healthy comfort food and an early breakfast menu by Bianca Araneta-Elizalde. All produce is organic and sourced locally where possible, the meat is pasture raised and ingredients are not processed or refined. It\u2019s for<\/b> the hip and health conscious. It\u2019s not for<\/b> people who want a quick meal under a tight budget. We recommend<\/b> their Bistek Tagalog, Crispy Duck Adobo, powerbowls and smoothies. Our<\/strong> insider tip:<\/b> It\u2019s dog-friendly, so bring along your best buddy. P.S. The Wholesome Table BGC<\/a> now serves breakfast as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Le Petit Souffle is a French and Japanese-inspired cafe <\/strong>from the Tasteless Group (of Hole in the Wall, Scout\u2019s Honor, Bad Bird, Wrong Ramen, etc). They serve modern dishes crafted with flavors and precision of Japanese and French cuisines. It\u2019s for <\/strong>anyone with adventurous taste buds. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people who are on short meal breaks. We recommend <\/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 insider tip<\/strong>: Always 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

Blackbird, situated in the heart of Makati City, is a contemporary European and Asian <\/strong>restaurant headed by Chef Colin Mackay (of Sala Bistro<\/a> and People\u2019s Palace<\/a>). It remains to be one of the most romantic dining destinations in Manila. It\u2019s for <\/strong>special occasions and a reason to dress up. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> occasions you\u2019re looking to get filled up as portions are on the small side. We recommend <\/strong>the The Blackbird Burger, Beef Short ribs and their pastas. Our insider tip<\/strong> is order your desserts beforehand, they run out fast. Fun Fact: <\/strong>Its aviation theme is inspired by the Manila International Air Terminal which used to stand on the exact same spot in 1937.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Noche: Dine in the Dark is the first and only restaurant in the Philippines that will have its patrons dine in total darkness<\/strong>. There are no blindfolds involved, it’s dining in a pitch dark room served by visually-impaired staff. It’s for<\/strong> unique couples’ date night. It’s not for<\/strong> very young children who can’t feed themselves yet. We recommend<\/strong> you book the five-course menu. Our insider tip is<\/strong>: You can’t take photos of your food because there are no cellphones allowed inside the room. But do have fun guessing the dishes! P.S. Noche is only open Friday to Sunday.<\/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 Philippines\u2019 largest luxury buffet <\/strong>chain. This homegrown brand has expanded all around Metro Manila, the Visayas and Mindanao (full feature here). It\u2019s for <\/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: <\/b>Every Vikings branch has a unique design theme, SM Jazz\u2019s is European.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Wildflour Caf\u00e9 + Bakery is a proudly local bakery<\/strong> that offers specialty breads and modern international dishes. It is the first purveyor of the cronuts in Manila. It\u2019s for <\/b>people who enjoy hearty brunches and coffee any hour of the day. It\u2019s not for<\/b> office employees only have an hour to spare. We recommend <\/b>their cheese fundido, wild mushroom salad, squid ink garganelli and their bestselling kimchi steak fried rice. Don’t miss (still) one of Manila’s best chocolate cakes, Wildflour’s Salted Chocolate Cake. Our insider tip <\/b>is <\/b>get breads and pastries at 50% off after 7pm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

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

Little Tokyo is 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 and affordable and tummy-filling bento sets. It\u2019s for<\/strong> people who want to experience authentic Japanese style dining\u2013kimonos, tatami mats, Japanese families and all. It\u2019s not<\/strong> for those looking for a quick ramen bowl. Aside from their sashimi selections, we recommend <\/strong>their Wagyu sticks and spicy salmon sushi. Our off-menu tips: <\/strong>(1) They can order you Japanese fried rice from its neighbor restaurant. (2) Claim one coupon for every P500 spent, for a free glass of beer on your next visit. (3) Check out all 14 restaurants inside Little Tokyo here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ooma is a modern Japanese<\/strong> restaurant by the Moment Group and young acclaimed chef Bruce Ricketts, the same partnership that 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 quality 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. Our 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 modern Southeast Asian<\/strong> dishes. Opened 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. It\u2019s for<\/b> yuppies in the area or intimate but casual date nights. It\u2019s not for <\/b>people looking for quick Asian takeouts. We recommend<\/b> the Steak Rice, Lamb Rendang, Chorizo Sandwich and Torched Salmon Donburi . Our insider tip <\/b>is Chef Nicco just opened a brave new Chinese\/Malaysian\/Indonesian concept restaurant in BGC called Hey Handsome.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
