Excellent customer service with delicious meals and plenty of options on their menu. This is our second time dining at Locavore but first time at Brixton Street in Estancia location. Customer service at Brixton Street, Estancia is consistent with the BGC location. The staff is also very well versed with food allergies. The staff was great every step of the way from seating, to ordering, to delivering our orders on a timely manner and until the very end. Our party of 11 ordered 2 of everything like to name a few of what we ordered are, Pakbet Ratatouille, Octadobo, Oyster Palabok sa Puti, Tapsilog, Boneless Lechon Belly, Dragonfruit chips and many more. We look forward to dining at Locavore every time we visit Philippines. Locavore both provided delicious food and excellent customer service.

Food - we ordered fried dalag fish (meaty), fried hito, tortang talong (eggplant) which was quite large and perfectly cooked, crispy pata, grilled pork belly, fresh vegetable lumpiang ubod (generous amount of crunchy ubod (bamboo shoot) sprinkled with crushed peanuts and chopped green mango with salted eggs. My favorites were the fresh lumpia and the tortang talong. The preparations were traditional and classic Filipino - no twists, no pretense. The prices were very reasonable. Just basic good food that won't break the bank.

Today it's a beautiful 3 story house at the top of the mountain overlooking Laguna Bay, Manila & Makati. We stopped at Buhay Kawayan to grab a late lunch w/my buddy, my wife & 2 brother in laws (yes they follow us everywhere lol). Buhay Kawayan is a very popular spot in Taytay on Manila E Road Barangay Pag asa. We ordered some of our favs like crispy pata, Bangus, squid adobo, veges dish w/bitter melon, yellow squash, okra, tomato, onion & garlic. Eggplant omelette & of course rice. Filipinos seem to eat rice @ every meal. (No Carbs when I return to the US). Excellent food & service one of the few Filipino restaurants that had quick service. They operated at a slower pace (Island life).

Amazing experience with a seasonal, regional Philippine menu…read more Please note that the restaurant is at the Power Plant mall and no longer in Quezon City. Went for a nice dinner. Entrance is on the 7th floor next to the Power Plant mall. Was greeted at the door and was shown a tour of their kitchen and briefly met the chefs making the night's meals. The dinner was 9 courses, with several appetizer type dishes, a palate cleanser, the main course, finishing with dessert. The restaurant changes their menu every 6-8 months, with our menu being inspired by the Western Mindanao region of the Philippines. First was a beef tinola soup. This is typically chicken, so was a different vibe. It was more of a stock than just soup, and it was very rich. Good way to start the meal off. The next course was 4 types of satti (skewers). Satay vibes, was very well bbq'd with the meats being beef tongue, beef cheek, chicken tail, and another chicken part (don't recall unfortunately). Agal agal (seaweed) and tuna was next. This was a refreshing salad with bits of tuna slices mixed in. An egg noodle dish was after the salad. Some more seaweed (different variety). Had a nice texture and the noodles were well made. The following dish was a play on roti - with it being like a sandwich, with layers of roti and filling, with a bed of veggies and cheese on top. This was really well made. Léché flan was the palate cleanser. Honestly could have had this for dessert also, it was really creamy and sweet. The main was next - banana leaf rice with a fried prawn, a beef stew, and grapefruit slaw. We had a shrimp allergy, so we were also provided some scallops with hollandaise sauce. Funny enough, I think the scallops rocked the most - though all the dishes were amazing. There were two desserts, one was a Zamboangan play of halo halo with a berry ice cream. The other was a set of chocolates with some local coffee. Everything was delicious. We also had a couple pinot noirs and the banana pandan old fashioned. The wines were decent, but the old fashioned was legit. Would def recommend it. All in all, a fantastic experience and hope to relive the experience again soon!

Overall, I think the nexttime I visit NAIA I would eat here again and try the other stuff on their menu.

Generous amount of veggies. Would have liked the sauce to be thicker and have a stronger peanut taste. - Squid Sisig: Never had squid as sisig before and this was interesting. They did it well as it wasn't rubbery at all. Good portion size. - Garlic Rice: Good amount of garlic flakes, would have liked a stronger garlic undertone. - Halo Halo: The star was the two scoops of icecream. The rest of it was meh. A bit heavy handed on the ice. - Icecream: Got a scoop of the taho and it came with the classic syrup and boba. The icecream was smooth and the flavour came across strongly. Pricey but I guess you pay up for the ambiance. Go early as this place gets absolutely packed and frenzy. Explore the rest of Tagaytay while you're there.

I really like the beautifully landscaped Greenbelt property where Manam is located. The area is…read moreclean and well maintained with a mix of upscale retail, coffee shops, and restaurants. We stayed at a hotel in Makati so it was really convenient to get to the restaurant. I'm glad there were pedestrian bridges in this car-centric area. It reminds me of the Minneapolis Skyway system. Before we dined at the restaurant we strolled along Greenbelt Park. It was during the weekday. People were at work so it was pretty quiet and relaxing. It was nice to be around nature in this metropolis. I'm sure people who work around this area would come to this park during break. I mean, that's what I would do if I was cooped up in a building all day. We didn't know where Manam was so I walked up to the concierge desk at the mall and asked them. She was helpful and friendly. The host at the restaurant welcomed us and we were brought to a table right away. They tried to put us near the front with a rattling air conditioner. In my head I was like, "Really? How am I supposed to have a decent conversation with my fam with that industrial factory noise?!" I seriously wasn't trying to have a janky restaurant experience. Of course I had to mind my manners because I'm just a visitor from a different country. I wasn't about to start something and get myself in trouble. So I kept those inner thoughts to myself, smiled, and politely asked the host to move us further towards the back. They were able to accommodate us. Our server was friendly. The food was good. A couple of customers next to us ordered the Crispy Pancit Palabok tableside service. They enjoyed the entertainment. We had a smorgasbord of items. The restaurant was advertising their Sinigang na Beef Short Rib & Watermelon so we ordered that. The watermelon flavor was subtle. When we got the bill I was ecstatic. I couldn't believe how affordable brunch was. For food and drinks it was under $25. At home it would have been $50-$60 with tip. Honestly, I'm so glad I got to eat at popular Filipino restaurants like Manam during my Philippines vacation. The closest thing we have to popular Filipino restaurant chains back home is Jollibee and Chowking (obviously fast food restaurants). It was nice to eat Filipino comfort food at a modern restaurant on this trip.
