New restaurants are hopping and popping all over the metro and nobody has enough time to try them all, so here’s a list of the hottest new restaurants compiled over the month of October as decided by the number of Booky<\/a> users adding new restaurants to their Must Try lists.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

10. SALT Makati<\/a> – Poblacion<\/h2>\n

26 Must Try’s
\n<\/p>\n

\n

SALT is a humble little steakhouse<\/strong> located next to the Rockwell compound. It is a creation borne out of three dudes’ search for a relaxing end-of-day retreat that can serve no-frills steaks that won’t hurt their pockets. It’s<\/strong> for <\/strong>people looking to get the best value for their Php 200. It’s not for<\/strong> people looking for a big menu. We recommend<\/strong> the T-bone Steak, Grilled Tuna and their signature Frozen Brazo de Mercedes. Our insider tip <\/strong>is only street parking available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Only reservation for the whole venue allowed<\/strong>

9. Se\u00f1<\/a>or Pollo Philippines<\/a> – Poblacion<\/h2>\n

27 Must Try’s

\n

Se\u00f1or Pollo Philippines is the home of the \u2018Famous Latin Chicken\u2019<\/strong> and second brainchild of the currently hustling-and-bustling team behind El Chupacabra<\/a>. Their menus may be different but the amount of crowd and attention both Latin-inspired <\/strong>restaurants draw are quite neck and neck. Their secret? Good food and cheap beer! It\u2019s for<\/strong> the younger crowd who don\u2019t mind breaking a little sweat while eating or the smoke in the air. We recommend<\/strong> the Roast Chicken with Spicy Rice and Chimichuri on the sides. The sound of the new Wagyu Beef Bacon might be worth a try. Our insider tip <\/strong>is to turn the black light on in the restroom for a cool surprise!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Farm Organics Resto is a semi self-service farm-to-table<\/strong> concept restaurant that serves certified organic grass-fed beef <\/strong>sourced from their own breeding cattle farm in Masbate, a socially conscious agricultural business operating since 1976. It\u2019s for<\/strong> health minded meat lovers. It\u2019s not for <\/strong>people who don\u2019t like beef.  We recommend<\/strong> their bestselling Organic Rib Eye Steak and Avocado Burger. Our insider tip<\/strong> is avocados may be seasonal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Teddy’s Bigger Burgers, a backyard burger<\/strong> concept from Hawaii<\/strong>, finally made its way to Manila this year ready to compete with the current pool of make-your-own burger joints. It’s for<\/strong> people who hates nitpicking burgers for unwanted pickles. It’s not for<\/strong> people looking for fast food service and prices. We recommend<\/strong> the Monster Double Burger and Kailua Burger. Our insider tip<\/strong> is form a group of 4 and take on the Monster Double Dare challenge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

La Cabrera is an Argentinian steakhouse<\/strong> found amidst the busy office district of Makati. The old rustic feel adds to the elegance and charm of the restaurant. They serve all-meat entrees with unlimited side dishes . It’s for<\/strong> groups who love to share orders. It’s not for<\/strong> vegetarians. We recommend<\/strong> the Provoleta, Ojo de Bife and Rogel De Dulce De Leche. Our insider tip<\/strong> is call ahead for reservations, the place gets quite full especially during dinner time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

St. Marc Caf\u00e9 is a specialty bakery and patisserie<\/strong> that offers freshly baked breads, pastries, coffee and desserts. It is a Japanese cafe franchise best known for its ‘Choco Cro<\/em>‘ <\/strong>(chocolate + croissant). It’s for<\/strong> casual coffee dates. It’s not for <\/strong>someone without a sweet tooth. We recommend<\/strong> their signature Choco Cro and Mt. Fuji. Our insider tip <\/strong>is the desserts are good for sharing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

45 Must Try’s
\n<\/p>\n

\"12\/10<\/a>

\n

12\/10 is a tiny creative Izakaya studio<\/strong> from the famed ‘The Girl + The Bull<\/a>‘ couple. Contrary to their first project that’s bright and sunny, 12\/10 has an industrial dim-lit vibe. It’s for<\/strong> nearby Makati residents who don’t fancy the trip south to The Girl + The Bull and office-goers who are looking for a casual afterwork hangout spot. It’s not for<\/strong> breakfast goers. We recommend<\/strong> the Salmon Kushiyaki, Toro Onigiri and KFC (Korean Fried Chicken). Our insider tip<\/strong> is that ‘Izakaya’<\/em> means it’s a drinking establishment that also serves food so make sure to check their extensive beverage menu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Despite its name, The Breakfast Club is an amalgam of cuisines. More than just Filipino breakfast staples, they also serve popular Asian, American and Italian dishes. It’s for<\/strong> people who want more than just breakfast options. It’s not for<\/strong> people who appreciate beautifully plated dishes. We recommend<\/strong> the Trio Omelette, Korean Beef Stew, Lava Cake in Cup. Our insider tip is<\/strong> there’s everday breakfast buffet for only Php 299 that includes free-flowing coffee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After the quick rise to success of Sensei Sushi<\/a>, Chef Bruce Ricketts is back with a bang with his creative kitchen studio<\/strong> Mecha Uma\u2013the newest kid on the block hidden in the quieter side of Fort Bonifacio. Mecha Uma<\/em>, which means absurdly delicious, serves mostly Japanese-inspired dishes<\/strong> that are sure to tickle your eyes and buds. It\u2019s for<\/strong> people who are adventurous and want an out-of-the-box culinary experience. It\u2019s not for<\/strong> people who are looking for a full plate. We recommend <\/strong>you to try their 10-course Omakase<\/em>, which literally means \u2018I\u2019ll leave it to you\u2019<\/em>. Our insider tip<\/strong> is make sure to get one from the 10 most coveted seats at the degustation bar for a complete experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Niu<\/a>

\n

Niu by Vikings is the newest upscale buffet restaurant<\/strong> in town. It\u2019s a far stretch from the Vikings Luxury Buffet<\/a> that we\u2019ve become accustomed to. Niu is elegantly designed and spacious with better interiors and a grander 9-station buffet. It\u2019s for<\/strong> families, friends and even couples celebrating special occasions. It\u2019s not<\/strong> for people with small appetites. Our insider tip<\/strong> is request for their \u2018by order only\u2019 <\/strong>menu. P.S. It\u2019s Niu as in \u2018nee-uh\u2019, <\/em>not \u2018new\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
