Satori Residence Condo with Balcony

Noodle lovers! Don't miss this humble spot opened 20 years ago and known for Filipino-Chinese stir-fried noodles. Diners can choose from rice vermicelli, egg noodles, or a mix of both. With its moist, springy noodles and crispy pork, the aromatic bihon canton con litson deeply satisfies. Generous portions, fair prices, and a well-ventilated upstairs area – make it a constant favourite among locals.

With just 14 seats, this minimalist, grey-toned counter restaurant provides an intimate yet vibrant dining experience. Guests perch on comfortable raised seats facing a sleek open kitchen – dishes are presented directly by the chefs. The cuisine leans Japanese with global accents, showcasing top-quality ingredients and elegant contrasts; think hotate with dill and ube, or Wagyu nabe with ikura. A concise list of wine and sake has the perfect accompaniment.

This Italian restaurant playfully experiments – think bruschetta topped with mango – to deliver a fresh yet satisfying twist on familiar dishes. In addition to pasta, seafood and meats, more traditional pizzas arrive from the open kitchen, with tasty smoky crusts. Their tiramisu, too, strays from tradition but retains that home-made feel. Exposed brick walls evoke Tuscan charm, and diners can enjoy the city views from this sixth-floor perch in the mall.

Spanish chef brings his southern Spanish roots to the heart of Ortigas Centre. Classic and more inventive tapas, such as ibérico pork katsu, set the tone. The seafood options are a nod to the chef's coastal roots, with famed anchovies sourced from Spain, but local Lapu Lapu also stars. Finish with the popular Sobo Pasiego dessert. As you tuck into the good-value lunch menu, savour the view of the city skyline from the rooftop terrace.

This long-standing restaurant has been bringing Chinese cuisine to Metro Manila for over 25 years. Rooted in Cantonese tradition, the chef's repertoire also draws on Sichuan heat and Beijing classics. À la carte options encourage sharing, with recommendations pictured on the menu. Dumplings, such as generously packed shrimp parcels, are crafted by a dim sum master. Polished service and vibrant, comforting dishes make Summer Palace ideal for special gatherings.
