Bistro Manuel

WHY GO

Simply for the food, food, food. At first bite, you will instantly forgive Bistro Manuel for its difficult-to-get-to location and the skimpy parking space.

TATLER TIPS

The magic that the chef Ariel Manuel whipped up for loyal clients at his former restaurant, Lolo Dad’s, has not waned; it has just transferred to his new haven in the heart of old Makati. Swoon over the Lolo Dad’s Café baked oyster with foie gras, angel hair pasta, and parmesan cheese. Just order one piece if you are planning to sample more of the dishes on the menu, especially the “Only for the Rich” grilled pizza that comes with lobster, duck liver, scallops, salmon, and more. Do not miss the roasted lobster tail with fillet of barramundi, then finish off with the lemon meringue and you will realise that you are already planning your next visit to Bistro Manuel.
