Mendokoro Ramenba is a 20-seater ramen joint<\/strong> from the people behind popular Ramen Yushoken from Alabang; it is also called being tagged as Yushoken 2.0. It\u2019s for<\/strong> people who don\u2019t mind queuing a bit for a spot at the table. It\u2019s not for <\/strong>people who want rice bowls and other Japanese favorites. We recommend<\/strong> the Tantanmen, Shio Ramen, and Super Chasu Bowl. Our insider tip<\/strong> is if you\u2019re in a big group, be ready to be seated separately if you want to get seats faster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Soru Izakaya is a modern Japanese restaurant<\/strong> offering innovative takes on cuisine classics. The culinary style is referred to as the “new Nippon” which translates to new Japanese. It’s for<\/strong> Japanese food enthusiasts craving a different approach to their favorite dishes. It’s not for<\/strong> loyalists to traditional Japanese cooking. We recommend<\/strong> their Nori Tempura, Oh Umi Maki, Matcha Cheesecake, and their Wasabi Cocktail. Our insider tip: <\/strong>Their rainbow art work is actually mayonnaise, so don’t forget to dip your maki!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Roice’s is a restaurant and bar with a cozy ambiance. It is run by a group of friends who are all foodies and drinkers. This OG home in QC is definitely the place to be. It’s for <\/strong>people looking for good food and good drinks. It’s not for<\/strong> people on a budget. We recommend their Roice’s Modern Adobo Pork Belly and Marinated Pork Chop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sunset Bar is the quintessential outdoor dining venue<\/strong> that features a buffet of grilled barbecued specialties on Friday and Saturday nights. The buffet also includes unlimited beers, wine and 3 cocktails. It’s for<\/strong> anyone who “has a thing for sunsets” and a lot of food. It’s not for<\/strong> people who love fresh food. We recommend<\/strong> bringing either a hot date or the family here to enjoy the beautiful sunset view. Insider tip:<\/strong> Get this sweet deal of getting 20% off for their buffet per head<\/strong> through Booky<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Grape Escape is a wine lounge and kitchen <\/strong>and is the first of its kind in Maginhawa<\/strong>. They first made its appearance a year ago in the food park, StrEAT: Maginhawa. The owners wanted a more permanent place for people to socialize and enjoy wine<\/strong> so they opened this full-fledged restaurant in March 1. It’s a place for<\/strong> catching up with family and friends since there’s no wifi in the restaurant. It’s not for<\/strong> people who are on a strict diet. We recommend<\/strong> their salpicao, pork chop, polpette and blueberry tiramisu. Our insider tip<\/strong>: The restaurant serves unlimited wine!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
BITE (Buffet in Time Espalanade) is the first to offer a time-based buffet experience in the Philippines. A unique concept that allows you to pay for the time you spend in the buffet<\/strong> rather than paying for a flat rate, and with over 35 dishes to choose from (and a lot of desserts) it\u2019s a sure sulit <\/em><\/strong>treat! It’s for<\/strong> groups looking for a sweet buffet deal. It’s not for<\/strong> people looking a quick meal. We recommend<\/strong> their Grilled Pork Chops with White Sauce (very addicting). Our insider tip<\/strong> is to try their Unli-time option for just \u20b1368\/head!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Lost Bread is a container shop that specializes in over-the-top milkshakes, while The Lost Bread HQ offers a more well-rounded menu that includes all-day modern Pinoy brunch<\/strong> menu, specialty French toasts, unique desserts, blue soft serve ice cream and a new collection of overshakes. It\u2019s for<\/strong> the locals and students living, studying or working in the UP Village area. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> party groups as it may be difficult to look for seats. We recommend<\/strong> the Fried Mashed Potato Balls, Sinigang Beef Sukiyaki and Beef Tapa with Coffee Rice. For desserts, try their Blue Soft Serve, limited Matcha Flan and milkshakes. Here\u2019s a fun fact<\/strong>: You can get 2 Sorbe-Toasts for the price of one with Booky<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Kko Kko is a modern Korean chicken house<\/strong> that uses traditional and contemporary recipes that came from Grace Lee and her mom. Their menu is divided into three main categories \u2013 Korean Fried Chicken, Korean Street Food, and Dosirak (Korean lunch box) \u2013 each narrating a story about the dining setting and customs of Korea. It’s for<\/strong> foodies looking for new and unique Korean dishes. It’s not<\/strong> for people looking for grilled Korean BBQ. We recommend the Chicken Cheese Fondue, Snow Chicken Cheese, and Galbi Jim Dosirak. Our insider tip<\/strong> is the place is quite small and may get full quickly on peak hours, so make sure to book a table ahead of time. Fun Fact:  <\/strong>Kko Kko was named after the sound that a chicken makes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
