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.

The Nest Dining in the Sky remains one of the most romantic dining destinations in the South…read more Perched atop Vivere Hotel, it offers sweeping views of the city, especially once the sun starts to set. 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

It's open 24/7 and serves not only bulalo, but also sizzling plate dishes like tuna and beef steak. You know when a business succeeds in a big way and competitors will suddenly sprout like mushrooms in the immediate vicinity? Me and my family have been living in Better Living Subdivision for about four years now, and I've seen a couple of bulalo restaurants fold after trying but failing to grab customers from Sora Bulalo. In one recent visit, there were two sets of foreigners who didn't seem to know each other dining inside Sora's. The waitress told me that a lot of foreigners were regular customers. Locals, too, naturally. Sora's stays open all night and all day because it invites a variety of clients, from guys trying to let the hot bulalo soup work its magic and remove their hangovers, to health nuts who believe that the bone marrow does wondrous things to their bodies. This is probably not true, but don't tell them that. They will insist it is. Me? I just happen to like bulalo, either for lunch or dinner. I can have it with soup or pan fried. Good thing Sora's has both versions.

It's hard to believe that all the home-cooked goodness they offer won't even cost you that much. My top picks from this place are: kare-kare, crispy pata and pancit malabon. Everything tastes like it was cooked with so much love and care. The only downside, food takes a while to get served whether you are dining in or taking the food to go. But really, quality food takes time so best to set your expectations. You can call ahead to order and pick up. They also deliver to nearby areas but will only take orders for delivery until 7pm and it will take more than an hour for your food to arrive so plan ahead.

Aling Tonya's is one of the best Paluto restaurants in the metro. I first got to check it out at…read moreHome Depot in Ortigas, and I've always loved it. Earlier today, I was able to go to their original branch in Baclaran. And while the restaurant is not the original one that was set up in the 80s, it has that old-timer vibe I love with institution-type restaurants. The fact is, Aling Tonya's really knows, as in REALLY knows how to do seafood. They never get anything wrong. While paluto-style restaurants are a dime a dozen, Aling Tonya stands heads and shoulders above the field. I've been to the Ortigas branch of Aling Tonya's a lot, so I've been able to taste a substantial chunk of the menu. For fairness' sake, I'll just talk about the dishes we had earlier. The Pinaputok na Tilapia was served piping hot, and it was flavored just right, not underwhelming nor overpowering. The Steamed Tahongs were meaty and large and cooked just right. And last but not the least, the Grilled Squid was grilled to perfection, as it was soft and tender, yet bursting with flavor. If you want to try out Aling Tonya's, I would recommend you go to their Ortigas or Macapagal branches, as going to their Baclaran branch is a bit tricky. It is honestly also the least appealing branch in terms of environment and ambiance. Having said all of that, I quite liked the charm of the flagship branch, and I would actually come back here.

It was an exceptionally hot day, so when we stopped by here, it was nice and cool inside. An amazing way to escape the heat at Greenbelt. We got seated and we loved everything that we ordered. From what I remember, we got some drinks, including some ube shakes with sago, some wine. Food-wise, we got the pancit palabok, crispy patis wings, lumpia, the overloaded garlicky chicken and adobo pork belly, sisig, the watermelon sinigang and I can't remember what else. Anyhow, the watermelon sinigang was excellent. And when the pancit palabok came out, they actually poured the sauce onto the noodles and it felt like I was watching a cooking show with a finale! When I come back to the Philippines, I will for sure come back here for everything! :)

Yes , we are "balikbayans" and it was nice of them to think that we may miss Filipino dishes that we deserve to have a dining experience here. The place is exclusive, reserve, classy but with Filipino touch. The table setting and its interior decor demonstrates Philippines pride. I was in awe with the place. The server suggested their specialty then I realized that is a Kapampangan restaurant. Glad to hear as we were at Ilocos and Bicol region prior visiting Laguna. There must be something different for this experience. We had the following for our main entree : Lengua, lechon cubano, Spicy Sisig , tuna panga then of course matched with their bamboo rice and their squid rice. Oh my ! There is no room for complain. Each one has distinctive taste that I enjoyed so much. Delicious, delightful and unbelievably good. Pricing is reasonable. Highly recommended dining restaurant if you are into Filipino cuisine .
