Bulaluhan, tapsihan, gotohan, barbeque-han, and more!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n

It seems like a lot of us from Manila are still unfamiliar with Marikina despite it being a stone’s throw away. We did some digging as to where Marikina residents are really getting their stomachs filled<\/strong>. For Marikina and nearby city residents, these restaurants are all too familiar (and are probably keeping them for their own enjoyment).<\/p>\n

Fino Deli<\/a> – Marikina Heights<\/h2>\n

“The first wine bar and delicatessen in Marikina City.<\/strong>” Fino Deli brings rustic Italian and Spanish flare in an inviting and relaxed atmosphere. They serve wide variety of imported wines, cheeses and cold cuts.<\/em><\/p>\n
