There is Forever @ Cafe Adriatico I have loved you from the very beginning my eyes laid on you. And just like wine you age with grace... And every time with your old ways, I always find something new. Everytime I visit Manila, It's a must... I just go crazy with Cafe Adriatico's out of this world desserts. I normally would have 3 various slices and 2 to go. My top favorite us called Canonigo w/ mangoes.I love their version of braso de Mercedes soft merengue, balls of Philippine mangoes and condense milk syrup. This dessert will take you to another heights, like eating white clouds in heaven, totally melts every bite in your mouth, I meant do not chew, do not bite, just put it inside your mouth on top of your tongue and just feel the sensation as the merengue disappears by itself and leaves you gasping ahaahaahahaha!!!!.. after you keep your composure, it's time for a mango ball and syrup and this concoction of ingredients bring you to the second level of foodgasm... w/ a sip of strong brewed coffee you're ready for the second round... of triple chocolate mouse., buttery & crispy sansrival, etc.,etc.,.. now get ready for your metformin and tell the waiter to prep your pineapple upside down cake for take out and what ever is left... I should say 5 star for desserts, ambiance, attentive quick service and overall experience... So since the eighties until now, you have been my forever. My Cafe, my very own Cafe Adriatico. I swear, I will be forever married to you.

This is my second visit here and I was not disappointed. The cool courtyard is a nice place to have a cocktail before the meal. The Restaurant offers an unusual menu with many local dishes on it. I did notice many locals eating at this elegant set up. The food is excellent

3. Casa Roces

Reviewed By Manuel I
This fine dining Filipino-Spanish restaurant is located just across the Malacanang Palace in Manila, Philippines. The restaurant is the ancestral home of Filipino Journalist Chino Roces. The place is very nice and quiet. We came for lunch and I tried their pinakbet with crispy bagnet and it was good. My colleagues also enjoyed their food â sopas de mariscos, beef steak and grill fish. Service was good but the fished ordered by my wife came very late and we needed to follow up with the waiters five times before it came. Dessert were equally good specially the turon ala mode which I enjoyed.

Reviewed By ricwoo2008
The outside and indeed interior need a little attention but the food and especially the service was outstanding. The portions are rather small but the taste excellent. We enjoyed a very leisurely dinner chatting with the personable waiters. All in all a memorable meal. A wandering guitarist serenaded.

Popped in for a drink, nice layout on the roof of SM Aura mall, had a clear cider which was sweet but nice change from lager, the menu looked nice but didn't eat and lots of wine available.
