WHY GO
All things considered, this is the chicest seaside bar and restaurant on Mactan Island. Go for a sunset cocktail and dinner.
TATLER TIPS
The hefty buffet is a Balearic-inspired 15-course menu featuring generous cuts of grilled meats (filet mignon, U.S. ribeye, beef ribs, lamb chops, leg of lamb, chicken thigh, ostrich, pork belly, and baby back ribs); and seafood (rock lobster, jumbo prawns, calamari, and fish). Come with a big appetite! The tapas set for two is an excellent light option. It starts with a tomato bouillabaisse with littleneck clams, mussels, cockles, saffron, and fennel; marinated mushrooms; grilled lamb skewers; garlic shrimp; Italian meatballs; jamon serrano bruschetta; truffled fries; and mussels marinière. Sample the selection of curated and eponymously named Manny O wines.
