The rooftop setting is stunning, featuring elegant water features and the option to dine either outdoors under the skyline or indoors while still enjoying the rooftop atmosphere. The views alone make this place worth visiting, especially in the evening when the city lights come alive. The food was excellent. We sampled a variety of Filipino dishes, all beautifully prepared and elevated with thoughtful, upscale twists while still respecting the local flavors. A special mention goes to our server, Bon, who was outstanding throughout the evening. Attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming, he helped make an already memorable experience even better. Soft live music was on, and it added to the experience. Between the incredible atmosphere, beautiful setting, delicious food, and exceptional service, this is a place I would happily recommend to anyone looking for a special night out in Manila.

While technically indoors, the restaurant opens its large sliding doors in the evening, creating a cool, breezy, open-air feel that makes the space both comfortable and memorable. It's easy to understand why so many couples choose this venue for date nights and proposals. The atmosphere alone is worth the visit. Since we came for an early dinner, we mostly ordered appetizers and dishes for sharing. We started with the Seafood Clam Chowder served in a bread bowl. It was decent and comforting, nothing particularly memorable, but certainly not bad. The Sisig Lumpia was unfortunately the weakest dish of the evening. Good sisig should have some crispness and texture, but this version lacked that signature crunch and came across as overly oily. It was the one dish I probably wouldn't order again. On the brighter side, the Pinchos drizzled with balsamic reduction were flavorful and enjoyable. The Beef Nachos were the star of the savory dishes, generously portioned, satisfying, and perfect for sharing. For dessert, we had the Frozen Brazo de Mercedes, which was a great way to end the meal and easily one of the highlights of our order. Service was excellent throughout. The staff were attentive, warm, and professional, making sure everything flowed smoothly without being intrusive. While the food this visit was a bit mixed, the stunning views, romantic ambiance, and impeccable service continue to make The Nest a place worth returning to. I've dined here before and remember some of their entrées being much stronger than the appetizers we ordered this time, so I'd happily come back and explore more of the menu. The food may not be flawless, but the experience certainly is. For the view, ambiance, and service alone, The Nest earns a solid 4 out of 5 star

They should have a rule when it comes to pets and restaurants. Malls and lets is understandable. But Pets and Restaurants is a whole new story. Dont get me wrong I love pets dogs specially, but we have to be respectful of others preference and health conditions.

Yelp Review 2023 # 44:…read more I've seen how this bake shop evolved. Starting out as Dates Cafe to Dates and Nuts to Conti's at a little space in BF. Their cakes and their food are delicious which warranted more locations all over the metro. My personal favorites since I was a kid are Chicken ala Kiev served with buttered vegetables and garlic rice, Mango Bravo cake (crunchy meringue layers, creamy chocolate mousse, cream, mangoes), and their blended iced tea with calamansi. Honestly, all their menu items - both savory and sweet are delicious. It just depends on your mood. Other favorites include Beef Salpicao, Roast Beef in Mushroom Sauce, Sans Rival, and Blueberry Cheesecake - I actually don't like blueberries but this cheesecake only has a small amount of blueberries on top. Every time I go to the Philippines, I have to go to Conti's - it's like being at home!

It's of my my favorite Filipino delicacies. Thank goodness for Bibingkinitan, I can enjoy my hot bibingka all year round. Of course, it seems too indulgent to finish one plate of bibingka all by myself. But Bibingkinitan serve freshly baked mini bibingkas, just the right size for one person, though I can finish a whole box (6 mini bibingkas inside) in one sitting if I don't control myself. I recently learned that they also have ube, pastillas, macapuno and even peanut butter bibingkas, but those are just seasonal. It's okay, I'm more than happy with my original bibingka, more butter and no sugar, please. I like bringing home a box of Bibingkinitan for an afternoon snack, but I also like eating it at their stall, with their special calamansi juice.

Most of the restaurants in BF Homes open at 11 am, earliest probably is 10 or 9:30. Little Quiapo opens at 7 am so if you are too lazy to cook breakfast just go here. They offer a wide variety of Filipino dishes, you wont run out of things to order. Breakfast, lunch or dinner they have it. I recomment the gourmet tuyo, their tapa and vigan longganisa for breakfast

Their simple menu consists of different silog meals but the best choice is of course the Porksilog. Their thin and crispy pork chop is perfect with their sinangag and egg. Plus, all their meals are very affordable. You can already have a tummy-filling meal for just under Php 100. Atoy's Pork Chop is located along Aguirre Avenue, near the drinking spots in BF Homes, so it's the perfect go-to after a long night of drinking. They don't have airconditioning so be sure to bring a hanky with you if you'd like to eat here for lunch.

I've heard and read about Neil's Kitchen for years now from friends and food bloggers alike but…read moreI've never had the chance to try it even though this location (their first and original location) is super close to our house. My friends planned a "South Saturday lunch" so that we can hang out in my neck of the woods instead of going all the way to Makati to hangout. Luckily I got a table immediately before the crowds arrived and a queue was formed. We ordered the following to share: 1. Tokwa't (Tofu) and Baboy (Pork) - we all enjoyed this appetizer that we ordered more fried tofu. The sauce was tangy and sweet while the tofu was cooked really well, crisp outside and soft inside. The pork was tasty and crispy as well. Loved the flavours and the textures in this dish 2. Crab fat pasta with crab cakes - the pasta wasn't too overpowering but you can def taste the crab fat. The crab cakes were made with real crab and they didn't scrimp on it. Great dish! 3. Sinigang paella and pork belly - one of their most popular dishes at Neil's Kitchen (we actually ordered two!). The sinigang in the paella was a great way to do a different take to sinigang and the pork belly was delicious. 4. Kare-kare with bagoong rice - kare kare was great with the distinct peanut taste and loved the veggies too. The bagoong rice was a nice accompaniment to the dish. Overall, I'm glad I finally tried Neil's Kitchen and next time I want to try their desserts.

Thankfully, I'm no stranger to Chicken Inasal. I grew up having lunch or dinner at Bacolod Chicken House in BF Paranaque. We've seen this place go from having one floor to having two and then going back to one. It's less fancy than most of the restaurants that opened up in the area, but it's been there since the time that BF was just a private, less congested subdivision so we have a strong affinity to it. It really is a no-frills kind of restaurant, but they serve the best Inasal in town. My favorite chicken part is the pecho (chicken breast), and it's grilled to perfection so that the skin is a little charred and crispy and the meat is white and juicy. I also like the sauce (I think that's what Ilonggos call Annato oil) that leaves yellow stains on my white rice (or garlic rice). Serve that with a really cold drink and I'm good to go. Their Chicken Skin is so good it's bad. I can finish a platter by myself!

With the closing of mainstay Gourmet's Palate (which has subsequently reopened), the market became wide-open for such places to compete with those that have been 24/7 since the start, including the two branches of Sinangag Express. Soon after Gourmet's Palate closed its doors, Dusadee Thai began operating at all hours, adding much-welcome variety to the late-night-to-early-morning food scene in BF. As the name suggests, the place serves Thai food exclusively. Good Thai food, to be exact. The Pad Thai and spring rolls are excellent, and the different curries are quite tasty too. This doesn't come as a huge surprise, as the owner is actually a Thailand native. The meals are priced fairly, especially given the portion size and level of taste. The place is quite small, so you may have to wait a bit if there are no seats available. You can also get your meals delivered if you live in the area. You can choose to light up if you get one of the outdoor seats, although I recommend taking a few steps away to the parking lot instead.

The interiors were nice, not to shabby. The food was also great; generous servings of delectable German-Style dishes. We ordered a lot, but here's what I remembered eating: Loaded Potato Skins (so good!), Diablo Shrimp Linguini, Imbiss All Meat Pizza, Deep Fried Pork Knuckles, and their Chicken and Pork Schnitzels and the Sizzling Double Dark Chocolate Brownie for dessert. Everything was really good! They serve local and imported beer, but the birthday boy was given a complimentary shot of Patron (his drink of choice). His reward for taking us to that cool place.

The other two got their own solo meals...and when the food arrived 1. holy hell the servings were huge 2. thank god the servings were big because it was delicious and we were starving I really liked the bread and dressing used for the sandwiches, the chicken was moist and spicy, and the mashed potato and coleslaw, though side dishes, were yummy enough to be sold on their own. Note: I don't even like coleslaw, but Imbiss does it so well I finished mine and my friend's. Happy to say we all cleaned our plates! Next time I eat here, I'll bring more money so I can try more of their awesome grub and maybe one of their specially brewed beers.
