This was an overwhelming place of good food! The drinks and desserts were unique. CHIRINGUITO,SICILIAN LIMONATA and their Sangria were super good. We had all sorts of tapas and the Paella Negra was a must when you're here. The best part was the open kitchen and stay at the bar! read more

My relatives took me to have lunch at this place. Their chef is from Barcelona whom we met after we ate. He serves an authentic gazpacho which I learned how to make in my recent trip to Madrid. It tasted exactly the same. The Wagyu beef is not as tender as I know because I just recently had Wagyu in Japan. The beef here is from Australia which I guessed! I like the ambience, the food and service. A good place to have tapas Spain style. read more

If you're posh craving for Mexican food like tapas, then this place is indeed for you. Ambiance: 4 out of 5 The interior is modern and classy, while the tables outside do not match the theme; they felt unsupervised and left out. The restroom is clean and spacious; very comfortable to do your personal thing. Food: 4 out of 5 1. Croquetes de Gambas con Alioli - super delicious! It's crispy on the outside yet very creamy and cheesy in the inside. I recommend you all to try that. 2. Rambla Salad - I expected a circus of flavors for this salad, but all I had was an ordinary salad. 3. Spaghetti Bolognese - Delicious, very tasty, and generous serving 4. Rambla's Mini Pizzas - Like their salad, these pizzas tasted just like plain breads splattered with meat and cheese. Sorry, but these pizzas will not bring you Mexico. 5. Chringuito Sangria - Refreshing but without the umpf. Service: 3.5 out 5 We agreed to take the table for 5 from 6pm to 8pm. Three hours prior our reserved time, we got a call telling us that we were going to be transferred outside; we agreed since most of the restaurants in Rockwell were fully booked. During dinner, I went inside and realized that there were still enough tables for us. Take note, these tables had been waiting from the time we got to the restaurant until we finished our dinner. Total score: 3.6 out of 5 Am I willing to comeback: No. Service to clients should always stand out. Good value for money: Maybe. Most of their food are for sharing, but they did not satisfy our hunger. Maybe we were famish during that time. read more

Between the wonderful ambiance, the relaxing vibe, and the exceptional tapas at Rambla, I've come back several times, and never failed to have a wonderful dining experience each time. There are some many wonderful small plates to try! Both the suckling pig and the ricotta gnudi are wonderful; the cataalari bread is crispy, thin, and delightful (despite just a little too much bell pepper for my taste). Another dish that caught my attention as soon as I saw it on the menu was the Gambas on crispy chicken skin. I was very pleasantly surprised by the tenderness of the shrimps, and the way they contrasted with the crispness of the chicken skin. Oh, and both the seafood paella and the chorizo are excellent! Bottom line: This is a great place to unwind after a hard day at work, or enjoy some drinks and tapas with friends. It's also an excellent destination to head for when it comes time to celebrate a special occasion. I'll continue to return whenever I'm in Manila :-) read more

Rambla adapts itself to many situations - the after-work evening tapas, the splurge with your date, the group dinner where everyone has fun, and dinner spills into drinks. I happened to be with some of my best friends and their newborn baby. True, we got lucky securing the perfect table on the ground floor of their two-story resto, but in general I'd say Rambla had no problem accommodating us. It may look small as you enter, with tables laid out in an L-style layout around their open kitchen, but there is also room upstairs, where there's a brightly lit bar and an aged liquor cabinet, and slightly dimmer, more intimate lighting for diners and drinkers. Because the exhaust was admirably strong without generating extra noise, I think it's nicer to sit downstairs. A more casual setup along the bar counter looking right into the kitchen, great for solo diners, is possible, and there is room left for wine bottles chilling in their own wine bucket stand. And so we ordered away, because we craved pork, and we translated that desire into jamon iberico and cochinillo. We had mini pizzas with Iberico on top, as well as jamon Iberico croquetas; tiny chorizo Iberico "baguettes" filled with a chilled manchego cheese cream, 65°C eggs with potato foam and chistorra, and paella de cochinillo. We only deviated from script to get chipirones (baby squid) with BCN sausage (Barcelona sausage, I think, I can't track down more info about this), and beans. We thought we weren't going to get full, because Rambla portions are "nouvelle," but we were wrong. (Please refer to the Refinery review I posted a few days ago; we went there and had almost no room left for their #awesomely #yummy bread pudding.) Can I just say I loved everything - and I mean everything - presented to us. If there was a way of chomping down dinner in an "haute," civilized manner, I think we invented it. We ate at a leisurely pace, and in that leisurely manner scarfed away the croquetas, the "baguetitos" and the mini pizzas, dipped bread into the egg, sausage and potato "foam" and ordered more bread, and daintily spooned every bit of ultra-tender baby squid into our plates, while thinking, this deserves to be a main dish, could you serve this in portions three times this size, please. The sauce in the chipirones dish is one of the best tasting things I've ever had, to be filed away in permanent memory. Now, true: if we hadn't ordered cold and warm tapas, there is no way the paella would've been sufficient. They could add a bit more rice, in my opinion - one scrape, and you know the layer of rice verges on thin. Nonetheless: the baby cochinillo, while not as crispy as some might like, tasted perfect to me, atop richly flavored rice, spiced with a hint of cinnamon. I've previously dined with the same friends at Las Flores, their sister restaurant inside BGC, so there was no way they were going to let us down. With a couple of fruit shakes, no cocktails, and no dessert, our bill went a little over P1,000/pax, so P1,500/pax just for dinner is probably a good amount. We left sated and duly impressed. read more

An upscale Tapas bar, Rambla serves up one of the best bone marrow dishes in the metro. Served with crusty bread, the Roasted Bone Marrow with Crispy Onion and Garlic Cream is as decadent and rich as it sounds. Trust me when I say it's not for the faint of heart. I first visited the place with three of my girlfriends for dinner and it's a great meal to share. With the bone split into two parts, there's more than enough marrow to go around. You can even request for more toast if need be. But apart from their main dishes, Rambla also serves up good cocktails. My personal favorite is the white sangria. It may look like the girliest drink in the room but it sure is potent! The price range of Rambla is far from your casual dining hangouts, which is why I prefer to head over their for special occassions. Whether it's a get together with your BFFs or dining with your significant other, the ambiance is cozy and intimate enough for good, long conversations. read more

Objectively meh. The soup and the beef tenderloin tapas were really good, but the shrimp was hammered and the squid looked like it was pulled out of the gulf oil spill. Combine with iffy service, and probably wouldn't return. read more

Rambla is a cool restaurant set in Rockwell that servers Mediterranean Spanish food, specially Catalan dishes. Everything is so tasty and the ambience is so nice that I have lunch there almost every weekend. I always start with the Iberian Ham Croquettes or with their unique appetizer called Spherical Olives, which are marinated in extra virgin oil and literally melt on the mouth. The olives are all seedless and really enormous, with a different texture. This recipe looks just like magic! They are served on twisted spoons. Quite unusual, right? For the main dish I recommend the goat cheese hamburguer. Pair it with one of their signature drinks. My fave is a non-alcoholic one called Sicilian Limonata Almond and Lemon. It's a delicious combination of lemonade and almond flavor - you can actually see the almonds inside the drink. The ingredients blend into an explosion of flavor! When you finish, you can try their desserts. But what I really recommend is crossing the street towards Powerplant Mall and getting a Xuxos at Churreria La Lola. The owners are the same - and so is the quality! read more

Because I used to have meetings all the time at the Nestle building right across, I'd seen Rambla a lot of times, and after seeing it pop up a lot on my feed, I decided it was worth a try. Online, there seems to be a big deal being made about their spherical olives, which are essentially pureed olives reshaped into olive-form, and made to sit in extra virgin olive oil. I didn't know what to expect, but when we tried it, it took a whole lot of effort to keep from ordering more: after all, Rambla had a lot more to offer us. But lemme tell you, that clean, very fresh taste stays with you. We also ordered their 65°C Egg with Potato Foam and Chistorra, which was interesting to look at but didn't really wow, and the Crispy Suckling Pig with Mustard Sauce and Bok Choy, which was as good as any pig I've ever had. But the star of the show for me was the Foie Gras Mousse with Caramelized Apples and Coffee-Baileys Foam. This was a whole lot of flavors happening one after the other, like Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody for your mouth. Too much foie gras usually gives me a headache, but man, did I want to keep eating this. I think you guys will, too. read more

Did you ever notice how suddenly there are so many Spanish restaurants popping up? Ironically, most of them are owned by the same people. The once Barcino, currently Las Flores group have now given us the latest and more modern Spanish restaurant, Rambla. Located in a corner by the side of the road, you will find a row of some of the hippest restaurants nowadays. The hippest and busies one of them all is Rambla. The design is not the typical and traditional Spanish look as they made it more modern with a black and white motif. I actually love the man walking logo that they used. They probably designed it this way so that it also acts like a nice bar or a place to hang out for afternoon drinks to happy hour even to 2 am drinking sessions. They have a very good selection of carefully crafted cocktails and wine. The only drawback is that they are quite expensive. A cocktail would already cost you P400 to P500. They change the menu once in awhile but everything they have served have been delicious! It's Spanish food with a twist. Their tapas menu is already good on it's own but what I would recommend trying are the Empanadas of Foie Gras and Pineapple Jam and the Foei Wagyu Burgers. I'm a sucker for anything with foie! read more

The vibe of this place is relaxed. It's a nice break from other places where the staff is blaring music that isn't even partly related to the restaurants overall theme. It's a nice place to have dinner with friends or for a date. The service was great, our server was attentive and friendly. It was also refreshing that the owners were ever present (at least all the times I've been there). One also took our wine order as he was around when we were calling over our server. In terms of food, their dishes were delicious. Taste was on point, as was their presentation. I loved how the chef played with different levels of taste in their dishes (ex: something savory with a hint of sweetness hiding until the last bite). Also, I'm a huge fan of crunchiness. They play with different textures as well. One example is how they cook the chicken skin separately in their prawn and chicken risotto. The chicken meat is soft and juicy while the skin (cooked to ultimate crispness) was plated in a way that made it look like garnish, separate from the meat. I appreciated that. Highly recommended! Plus they're behind the churros shop at powerplant mall, another place worth visiting. read more

Been here a couple of times, and besides the great ambience of this upscale Tapas Bar, the vibe here is relaxing. Great place to hang out after a hard days work to grab some drinks or tapas with friends, it's also a nice place to go for a special occasion. We usually fill up on Tapas here, my absolute favorite is the Foie Gras & Pineapple Jam Empanadas, sounds like a weird combination but it tastes so good an order comes with 3 empanadas so we usually order 2 orders of that. We also get the Beef Tenderloin Topped with Foie & Caramelized Apples, the Crispy Suckling Pig with Mustard Sauce & Bok Choy, the Gambas Al Ajillo & Shitake Mushrooms and ofcourse as always in a Spanish restaurant you have got to eat from Paella, and Rambla's Paella Negra with Squid & Salmon is so yummy. They change up the menu once in awhile but everything they have served has never disappointed. You gotta have some dessert before you leave, Churros with Warm Chocolate & Vanilla Ice Cream is a classic and satisfies as well read more

Went here one Saturday with some family members on the earnest recommendation of my ninong. Rarely do I see him so excited about a restaurant, so my curiosity was aroused. As soon as we entered I knew I liked the place. The inner part of Rambla was a little dim for me (it's probably good for dates and intimate gatherings), but that didn't detract from the effect of the clean and chic decor. The bicycles perched on the second floor balcony were an interesting touch, and it was cool to have a bar dominate the room instead of setting it at the side. Honestly, I was a little intimidated by the menu at first; all the fancy, interesting choices were a bit overwhelming. (I was the last person to order something.) It took a little longer than expected for our orders to be served although the place wasn't packed when we arrived. Good thing we ordered appetizers, and Rambla provides good complimentary bread and olive oil for dipping. Happy to say it was so worth the wait. I thoroughly enjoyed my red tuna loin burger. Never would I have dreamed of putting tuna and mango together, but it worked. However, I didn't taste enough wasabi in the sauce even if it was advertised in the menu. Other noteworthy dishes are the grilled seabass, salmon escabeche, and the veal cheeks fondant with vanilla cream. (How did they get the cream in there??? How was the meat so soft? Just remembering the flavors of the dish blending so well makes my mouth water, no joke.) And for dessert I highly recommend the tocinillo del cielo: a slightly sweet, slightly tangy, perfect meal ender with leche flan and praline. Absolutely nuts about this restaurant. Sure, it's pricey, but I think it's just right for those once-in-a-while occasions: birthdays, reunions, or maybe when you just want to treat yourself to something good. read more

Rambla opened to much hype, rave reviews and Instagram posts. It does make a good first impression. Going into the restaurant, you will be impressed by polished hipster vibe - modern clean lines, an open kitchen and a bike (??). Rambla is known for its spherical olives which you order per piece. It's enclosed in a delicate membrane and once you pop it, a world of flavor erupts in your mouth - salty, sour and a touch of oil all at the same time. It was enjoyable except for the fact that it was PHP 45 each. It did force me to savor every last bite and juice. We ordered the pizza which I found mediocre and the inside out wagyu cannenoli with aubergine. It was alright. I was expecting something bigger and better, but it was just alright. For dessert, we ordered the 7 chocolate dessert. Hmmmm. For 7 kinds of chocolate, it tasted kind of flat. The cocktails are better. Rambla is good for dates and intimate catchup with friends. Family is okay too, just don't expect TOO much. read more

Special shout out to Karen. The margarita on the rocks is excellent. My only minor hiccup was a very bad whiskey sour given , but brought it down with a good shot of whiskey by itself. Thanks team and love just hanging out there. Maybe I be kicked out soon for taking their space. Chef Ruben takes pride on his dishes and I am always there when I visit Manila. See u in Feb 2019. First place on my list. Make me a reservation. read more

A little hard to get into very busy but worth the wait food was really good and consistent///service a little slow a little understaffed,,

Sick of the many restaurants inside the Rockwell Power Plant Mall? Luckily the area is filled with new restaurants to try. The Joya building is just a 5 minute walk across the mall and you'll find more places like Rambla. This place is not your ordinary Spanish cuisine. I can't even call it a fusion, since some of their dishes are bordering out-of-this-word. It offers some of the most unique and exciting flavors that I am sure you have never tried. Imagine this; Fioe Gras pate with Coffee Flavored Mousse served with pillow crackers. Sounds good, right? That's just an example of the many flavors that Rambla does so well to distinguish itself from the rest. As an added bonus, the owners (some of which are Spanish), own Churreria La Lola. This means their churros dessert is to die for! read more
