Alas Ponce: Cap off a long 8-to-5 with amazing tapas and wine

-

PONCE is on a pursuit to bring good Spanish fare, opulent wine and amazing experience­s closer to people. Because Ponce believes that good food and good stories make life great.

The restaurant is named after Maximo Ponce, a man who grew up with an inspiring appetite for life. He spent his childhood basking under the warm sun; running across the plains of Tarlac to look after farm animals, pick fresh produce, inhale the refreshing breeze and create timeless memories.

One person, who particular­ly got enthralled by Maximo’s wondersome spirit, is his son Dick Balajadia.

Taking after his father’s great love for adventures, Dick traveled the world hand-in-hand with the love of his life, Mars. Together, they relished some of the world’s best gastronomi­c experience­s and even took them back home with them here in the Philippine­s.

Their magnificen­t journeys in Europe, particular­ly in Spain, inspired them to build Ponce the way they did.

When you first step inside Ponce,

you will instantly feel an inspiritin­g vibe. The breezy interior and verdant accents will easily give you an al fresco ambience that perfectly emulates what it’s like to enjoy a meal in Spain.

Ponce’s menu, thoroughly curated by the owners together with Chef Angelo Santicruz, offers an exquisite selection of Spanish specialtie­s. Classic picks such as the Paella Mars y Montaña gives an apt nod to the flavors of Spain.

Cap off your bustling 8 to 5 with us. Enjoy Alas Ponce with some Cochinillo, Paella, and overflowin­g Sangria. Visita Ponce en 124 Sct. Dr. Lazcano St., Brgy. Sacred Heart, Tomas Morato, Quezon City. ¡Hasta luego!
