Dining in Manila
Hotels and restaurants offer a wide selection of cuisine from exotic Filipino to Oriental, to European. For those in need of a cultural fix, there are American fast food chains, steak houses, cafes, bistros, diners, seafood grilles, noodle houses, and ice cream and cake shops. First class restaurants offer gourmet specialties. International restaurants include French, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Mexican, American, among others. There is also a wide variety of fresh seafood and tropical fruits to choose from. The more popular rows of restaurants can be found in Ermita, Malate, Adriatico Street and Roxas Boulevard in Manila; Makati Avenue, Jupiter Street, Pasay Road, Glorietta and Greenbelt Centers in Makati City; Tomas Morato, Timog Avenue, Quezon Avenue and Libis in Quezon City.

Filipino cuisine is an exciting blend of Spanish, Malay, Chinese and American influences. And Manila is the perfect place to go for daring culinary adventures. The Filipino cuisine, with its many regional flavors and specialties, should appeal to the most discriminating palates.

Regional Foods in the Philippines
Pinakbet, a sauteed mixture of fresh vegetables in bagoong (cooked shrimp paste) is an Ilocano favorite. From Pampanga comes sisig: grilled pig's cheek and ears, chopped with chicken liver, onions, chili and pepper on a sizzling plate.The Bicolanos love using lots of coconut cream, spices and chilis on their dishes. With the Filipino's love for food, restaurants are all over the place. Those in the Visayas and Mindanao islands are fond of seafood. Exotic food are also specialties: camarro (spicy crickets), antik (roasted big forest ants), among others.
