Food and Dining in Manila

Manila’s dining scene has something to please everyone – being a cosmopolitan city, it is possible to eat pretty much anything in Manila. Food is an integral part of the Filipino culture. Featuring a mixture of European and Asian food, particularly Malay, Spanish and Chinese, there is definitely some good food to be had in the metropolis.

There are clusters of restaurants and bars in San Juan's Greenhills and Mandaluyong City's Ortigas Center. Makati is the undisputed culinary queen of Manila Metro, the stomping ground of the well-heeled set. Quezon City is also good for resto-bars, where you can enjoy a good meal and a few drinks.
