Review summary

Old Manila, located within The Peninsula Manila, offers French cuisine in an elegant, quiet setting ideal for business meetings and special occasions. Food quality receives mixed reviews; while some praise the superb execution of steaks, seafood, and items like truffle olive croissants, others find the seasoning too strong or the content disappointing. Service is generally polite and discreet, though issues with meal pacing and delayed wine service are noted. Value is a contentious point: although some feel it justifies the cost, many consider the prices high relative to the experience, making it less suitable for budget-conscious diners.

Best for

Recommended for business meetings or special occasions seeking an elegant atmosphere, but those sensitive to value may find it overpriced.
