    Palitaw

    Comfort Filipino food. Same as before, still one of the best Filipino resto. Great ambience, quiet and the service is top notch. Definitely coming back tomorrow.

    We were in Greenbelt Mall & it was that time . . . too late for lunch & too early for dinner. The solution: merienda!!! We asked a guard outside & he suggested Via Mare in Greenbelt 1. When we got there, they told us 5 minutes wait. It was crowded. My wife decided on pancit palabok and puto Bumbong. I wanted to keep it lighter and ordered palitaw & puto Bumbong. My wife said the palabok was good - - not great, but good. The rice cake of the palitaw was a little too moist - - almost wet. The taste was good, but would have been better with a little less sugar & more roasted sesame seeds. We both agreed that the puto Bumbong was very good, although their choice of sugar was different; it was almost like a coconut sugar just broken up & put on the side of the plate - - nice looking & tasted good - - but different. No real complaints and it held us over until dinner. Enjoy.

    A very good restaurant right in Greenbelt 1 shopping center on Paseo de Roxas, Makati. It's close to our condo on Gamboa. This is only one of the many branches they have in the Philippines. They have been in business since 1975 based on my research of them. It's a cozy run down restaurant with torn chair cushions. They need remodeling. It's a homey kind of place with home cooking taste like we cook it regularly at home. It's good, there is a lot of us to try the different dishes. We ordered: Freshly squeezed ripe mango - a must; we saw the server grind a whole ripe mango Mocha coffee - takes like hot coco eh Coffee - good and brewed hot Original goto soup - rice soup with soft tripe; very good Corned beef sandwich - comes with two pieces of pandesal bread. Fried chips were tasty Vigan Longanisa plate - good for taste but small amount of meat Sirloin Tapa - small amount of meat for this rice plate but very good taste Spicy Tuyo flakes - good rice plate with many ready to eat salty fish Bangus plate - very good. Eggplant torta - very good Went to this location twice, service is good and would go back again...

    Our go to place when we crave for bibingka. Whenever we go here it is always full, maybe because it's become a family favorite for generations. Today we tried the queso de bola bibingka which i found too salty. The salted egg bibingka still stands as my favorite, it's still so good.

    I usually LOVE Via Mare. My family has been eating there since I was a kid. My dad, sister and I were in Greenbelt 1 for the Brahma Kumaris seminar and were famished. We hadn't had dinner yet so we ate at Via Mare because we love the food. The waiter was friendly, polite and memorized our orders. Our orders came pretty quick but they didn't have the oysters anymore. The waiter did know that the Greenbelt 3 branch still served them though. Not something they'd usually know so that was impressive. We came for the food but left a bit unsatisfied. We ordered our usual - pancit luglog, puto bungbong & tokwat baboy (minus the baboy). The luglog's serving seemed to have lessened and it also lacked taste. The tokwat baboy was good but lacked vinegar and the puto bungbong (which I was looking forward to) was gummy. :( I still love Via Mare but I probably won't return to this branch or I'll order something else. To name a few more dishes, I do love their bibingka, crispy adobo flakes, arroz ala cubana, their oysters (especially the 3 cheese with garlic and herbs or the Rockefeller) and of course their halo-halo. Yum!

    My go to place for Filipino food when in Manila. It can get busy and the servers are on the slower pace side but worth it.

    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.

    finally tried **Manam Comfort Filipino** at **Greenbelt 3** (2nd floor) and yeah... it lives up to…read morethe hype. first off, location is solid. walked around Greenbelt Park before dinner -- super chill, lots of trees, doesn't even feel like you're in the middle of makati traffic chaos. food: * sinigang na beef short rib w/ watermelon -- i was skeptical lol but it works. sour, slightly sweet, beef was fall-apart tender. * house crispy sisig -- sizzling, crunchy edges, gone in like 5 mins. * garlic rice?? why is it so good here. extra crispy garlic bits pls. * ube shake -- not too sweet, actually tastes like ube not just purple sugar milk. service was friendly but you kinda have to flag them down when you need something. typical busy manila dinner rush vibes. it does get loud, so maybe not first-date quiet energy. price-wise... honestly shocked. for what we ordered it felt very reasonable. if this was in the US it would easily be double. if you're visiting and want legit filipino comfort food in a modern setting (not fast food, not tita's dining room lol), this is a safe bet. would come back and try more from the "twists" section next time.

After wandering around for half an hour, we ended up in front of the restaurant. What intrigued us about the place was how empty it was, though it was already past five PM and there was major traffic of people in the mall. The site I supposed reminded us that it was dinner time already, so we mulled over whether to give the place a try. My sis quickly decided against it because she assumed an empty restaurant must mean bad food. However, I was craving for real Filipino food at that moment (and I was paying), so we ended up inside the restaurant after quickly glancing at the menu. The place was so empty that even the host was out of sight. After a minute or so, the host appeared and we were seated promptly needless to say. We even had a pick of any table! We ended up ordering the bagnet that came with the sour broth on the side, beef adobo, laing, and garlic fried rice with dilis. And as it turned out, we really enjoyed the food! My sister and my mom raved about the bagnet. I liked everything. In conclusion, the place was a hit. Before our staycation ends this Saturday, I would like to back and try out the other dishes.

For a place that was so busy, surprisingly, it wasn't too noisy and we were able to carry out a conversation. The staff was very attentive, and it seemed like we had multiple people serving us Like most groups, we dined family style. We shared everything that we ordered and every dish was scrumptious. Three of us reside overseas so we were all looking frward to authentic Filipino foods. This place rose to the occasion. The standout was the fish that was filleted and deep-fried, and spread out like a butterfly so it was easy to take a piece off. The fish was cooked perfectly, that is, it wasn't overcooked like most fried fish dishes would be. All of us asked for fresh buko (coconut) juice servied in a whole coconut. However, the coconut was no longer young coconut that usually has soft meat that we can spoon up. instead, it was more "niyog" or mature coconut that needed to be cut up which the staff did for us.

On this visit I had the following items: - Crispy Tadyang - Bamboo Rice The Tadyang (fried short ribs) was incredible - tender, yet crispy and full of flavor. There's a nice portion of beef that arrives in the order, so it's very satisfying. The rice has an interesting flavor profile since it's mixed with spices and shrimp...it's definitely an interesting rice dish you won't find anywhere else. Abe has a huge menu that showcases the diversity in Philippine cuisine. The fact that it includes appetizers, salads, soups, mains, sides and desserts means you'll leave a very satisfied customer. Can't wait for my next visit!

Honestly underrated…read more I swear, this place has been open for over a decade... and somehow I've been roaming Makati like a clueless NPC not knowing it existed. The betrayal. My own stomach deserved better. Solid late-night spot. Generous portions, comforting flavors, and a vibe that feels like a warm hug after a long day (or a long night out, depende sa choices mo). Alfresco dining is super chill, but be warned: it starts getting packed around 1-2AM with people who look like they've survived a full pub crawl. What we ordered: * Pork Bagnetsilog - Crispy, well-seasoned, and surprisingly generous. * Talong Chips + Tokwa - My ultimate fave. I kept "trying one more" until suddenly... nothing was left. Zero self-control, and honestly? Worth it. * Chicharon Bulaklak + Tokwa - Dangerously crunchy. Perfect with rice or on its own. * Coffee Nagaraya Sorbetes - Fun idea, but the coffee flavor needs a little more oomph. Still worth a try. * Leche Flan Sorbetes - A sinful dulce de leche situation -- sweet tooth approved. Only downside: Parking took 30 mins to 1 hour. Will we be back? Absolutely. Probably sooner than parking trauma can heal. Another late night go-to unlocked.
