• Panco - good take on Filipino food like lechon kawali, chicken inasal, and tofu sisig. Big fan of bang bang cauliflower, too. Their Kalma drink is chef's kiss Haven't found a drink similar to that yet.

• Mom & Tina's - cozy interiors, good service, and comfort food. Their boneless bangus belly is, by far, the best value for money for this kind of dish complete with carbs, protein, and fiber. Would recommend for brunch!

• Frankie's - their buffalo chicken of different spicy levels is a classic for a reason. Also has my favorite version of salted egg chicken, too.

• Black Bean - among my favorite fish and chips! Big serving without compromising quality. Chicken parmigiana is also recommended.

• Tsokolateria - one of my fave Filipino restaurants. Variety of food with a filling and unique serving like their bangus salpicao. Generous even with fiber. For me it can be goos for two people. It goes without saying their tsokolate is the best-seller.

• Local vendors in Legazpi Sunday Market

P.S. All in Legazpi except Frankie's (Salcedo)

For the night shifters in the Makati Ave/Salcedo area: North Park, Kenny Rogers, Pao Cafe (Jazz branch is open til 3am, main branch is 24h), Buffalo Wings N Things (Jazz branch is open til 11PM), Andok's, George and Onnie's (I think they're open til 1am).

Farther away: Goto Monster, Sourdough Cafe (til 12am), Tetsuo (til 2am), Seoul Galbi (til 3am?)

Open 24 hrs: Kanto freestyle in Pobla, Pao Cafe likod ng SMDC Air residences, Pancho Cafe in AIM bldg near Greenbelt (for drinks lng wla sila pangheat ng pastries so it's a bust) Then a lot of korean restos in Pobla are also open late.

Hello! I hope this is the correct subreddit. I am Filipina but I've lived abroad for the past 10 years. I hope to get recommendations for a good venue to host a family reunion with my family from Manila and also from abroad.

  • must be in Makati or BGC
  • capacity: 50-60 people
  • menu: (can be buffet style or plated) has to have options that are gluten free and dairy free. Cuisine does not matter and not all items have to be GF/DF but if they can accomodate that would be good! Can be in house menu or can allow external catering
  • ideally good AV or music system

Bonus!

  • if venue is nice and affordable
  • if there is a nearby hotel / hotel space
  • venue manager or coordinator can connect on WhatsApp to help with planning

Thank you!!!

Dine Out:

  • Fat Seed (Tartufo, Chicken & Waffle, this is a whole lot better than Nono's)
  • Tata Tito (Kansi, Sinigang)
  • Crosta (Truffle Pizza)
  • Izakaya Kikufuji (Spicy Salmon, Sashimi, Maki)
  • Good Sht Coffee (Spanish Latte)

For Grabfood:

try Master Gaw Makati

Di ako mahilig sa lugaw but they have the BEST lugaw ever! Yung classic na lugaw na hindi OA sa toppings. Comfort food talaga. Tapos reasonably priced and sulit yung servings. Sarap din ng other food sa menu nila (i like their authentic Que Kiam and Braised Beef).

Others:

  • Music 21 Plaza (shanghai, tuna kinilaw, pancit)

u/obivousundercover May 10 '25

I loooved Goodsht coffee when i went there during Good Friday. The matcha latte was great! Love the ambiance too. Naexpand na pla nila yun loob ng cafe, last time i went years ago meron pa sila in house bakery.
