\n
Arroz Ecija is a modern Filipino restaurant specializing in Fil-Hispano cuisine<\/strong>. Their recipes are inspired from 1930s rice haciendas<\/strong> in Nueva Ecija with dishes such as Callos, Fabada, Lengua Estofada, Lechon, and Bringhe (Paella). It’s for<\/strong> rice loving people looking for something different but oddly familiar to pair their rice with. It’s not<\/strong> for those of you on a no carb diet. Our insider tip:<\/strong> They’re not open for early breakfast but their almusal menu is available all day long. We recommend<\/strong> the Callos Madrileno and Chorizo de Tuguegarao.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sariwon is a Korean<\/strong> franchise famous for its Legendary Bulgogi and Galbi or barbecued beef short ribs. It’s for<\/strong> friends or families looking for a great place to do some group dining. It’s not for<\/strong> solo eaters looking for a place to have a working lunch. We recommend<\/strong> their Haemul Pajeon and the Sariwon Bulgogi. Our insider tip<\/strong>: They have a complimentary drink at the end of your meal. Fun fact<\/strong>: It has been awarded “The Best Korean Restaurant” by the Seoul Metropolitan Government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Francesco’s Kitchen is a newly opened traditional Italian restaurant serving regional cuisine with a selection of homemade pasta<\/strong>, brick-oven pizza<\/strong>, and more.  It’s for<\/strong>  people looking for classic Italian dishes that are both familiar and new to their palates. It’s not for<\/strong> those of you looking for Pinoy spaghetti or sweet Italian food. We recommend<\/strong> the Burrata, Ossobucco in Gremolada Con Fettuccine Alfredo, and the Ortolano pasta. Our insider tip<\/strong>: they have both fresh and dry pasta so you noodle lovers know where to head to next!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hai Chix & Steaks is a dining concept where East meets West. It is an Asian fusion<\/strong> restaurant specializing in steaks and Hainanese chicken. It\u2019s for<\/strong> everyone craving some Asian and American specialties without having to visit 2 different restaurants. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> vegetarians. We recommend<\/strong> their bestselling U.S. Angus Ribeye and the Hainanese Chicken Rice. Our insider tip: <\/strong>Have your steaks cooked medium. P.S. It recently opened a third branch in Salcedo Village.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

First gaining traction in its Rockwell branch, Refinery is a third wave cafe that serves all-day breakfast and brunch<\/strong> items, international comfort food and specialty coffee\u2013but what sets it apart is that it also serves wine and cocktails. It\u2019s for<\/strong> ladies who brunch in the area; it\u2019s also a solid working spot. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> those who want quick and cheap breakfast. We recommend<\/strong> the Honey and Basil Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Bread Pudding, Shirred Truffled Eggs, Angry Pasta and Orange-Infused Cappuccino. Our insider tip<\/strong>: Unlike their Rockwell branch, the Greenhills location is open until 1am.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Chef Laudico Guevarra\u2019s, by chefs Roland and Jacqueline Laudico, is a 1920s heritage house converted into a restaurant and events place where guests can enjoy an upscale but affordable Filipino buffet dining<\/strong> experience. It\u2019s for<\/strong> special business meetings or big family celebrations. It\u2019s not a place<\/strong> to treat your friends if you\u2019re on a tight budget. We recommend<\/strong> the angus beef tapa, kare-kare, grilled gindara and cream dory with mango curry sauce. Our insider tip:<\/strong> Their clean plate policy charges you P100 for every 100 grams left. P.S. Buffet price is half for kids 4 feet and below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

District 8 offers dishes like paella, oysters with uni, tuna tartare, banana beer beignets, as well as cocktails and other drinks. It’s for<\/strong> appetites that are on the more adventurous side and those who like to spice up their beer pairings. It’s not for quiet, intimate dining with a fine dining atmosphere. We recommend<\/strong> the oysters with uni for a unique seafood experience. Our insider tip:<\/strong> wear loose pants because you’re going to want to order the whole menu!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

All the way from Tokyo, Dohtonbori is Japan\u2019s #1 okonomiyaki<\/strong> restaurant chain that offers the first cook-your-own okonomiyaki experience in Manila. This is its first branch in the Philippines. It\u2019s for<\/strong> foodies who enjoy DIY meals, but don’t worry as the servers can also cook for you. It\u2019s not for <\/strong>people who prefer American-style pancakes. We recommend<\/strong> the Deluxe Okonomiyaki, Four-Cheese and Dohtonbori pizzas, and their premium yakiniku. Our insider tip:<\/strong> Skip the queue, you can book a table through Booky at their Greenhills and SM North<\/a> branches!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Don’t forget their \u00fcber moist to-die-for chocolate cake for dessert! Our insider tip <\/b>is to get pastries at 50% off after 7pm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
