Tropical Dining In Manila

Welcome to the capital city of the Philippines! Are you ready to explore its culinary scene with Eatagram?

Manila, a multicultural gastronomic hub of the Philippines, benefits from its coastal location, offering visitors stunning landscapes and mind blowing gastro cultural experiences, including beachside al fresco dining.

What local specialties should you try to get the whole picture of the local cuisine? Start your exploration with the traditional breakfast tapsilog. It’s a hearty medley of tapa, garlic fried rice, and itlog. Or go with rice cake variations bibingka and puto bumbong. It’s quite substantial and delicious. Don’t forget to indulge in a cup of strong coffee kapeng barako.

Not sure what to have for lunch? We recommend bulalo, a beef soup with marrow. For the main course, opt for pancit. It’s an iconic stir-fried noodles dish with vegetables and meat.

Manila is a paradise for street food lovers, as they can luxuriate in a variety of delicious snacks like balut, grilled isaw, and pata. They go perfectly with cold buko juice or calamansi citrus juice.

As the Pacific Ocean provides the city with a wealth of fresh fish, seafood is the cornerstone of the local cuisine. If you’re a seafood enthusiast, treat yourself to tamarind soup and grilled squid.

If you can’t imagine a hot day in Manila without an ice cream, be sure to luxuriate in halo-halo with sweet beans, tropical fruit, and ube. It tastes divine and is really refreshing.

Whatever you choose, Manila won't disappoint you!
