Osteria Antica

$$Italian Contemporary

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.

Cantabria by Chele Gonzalez

$$$Spanish

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.
