Its concept is centred on researching and developing local produce and acknowledging the deep historical connection the Philippines shares with Spain, through sustainable cooking. The menu emphasises native ingredients, to uplift the local food scene whilst also offering a fresh perspective on fine dining. There’s a story behind every dish – for example, try the Steak and the Beer Urchin to discover some hidden surprises. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Insider Tip: &lt;/strong&gt;There is only seating for 20, so book in advance. </restaurantsDescription><insiderLabel/><insider/><whereToEatImage>/saar5/images/destination/main/mnl/Gallery-Vask.jpg</whereToEatImage><whereToEatImageAltText>Where to eat in Manila - Gallery Vask</whereToEatImageAltText><links><locationLinkLabel/><externalLink/><contactNo/></links></places></whereToEatSection><whereToEatSection><places><category>Filipino</category><categoryLabel>Filipino</categoryLabel><categoryLink>http://www.aristocrat.com.ph/</categoryLink><whereToEatHeading>The Aristocrat</whereToEatHeading><restaurantsDescription>This much-loved Filipino chain is great for a quick bite during the day. Their extensive menu of classics and favourites covers all bases, from hearty barbecued pork ribs to lighter options such as sizzling tofu. As many locals have grown up with the restaurants’ dishes, it also offers a nostalgic glimpse at some of the region’s favourite comfort foods including pork adobo and kare-kare – beef knuckles, tripe and oxtail in peanut sauce with bagoong (shrimp paste). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Insider Tip: &lt;/strong&gt;It’s an affordable, accommodating venue for big groups, and there’s even a menu provided for that very purpose. </restaurantsDescription><insiderLabel/><insider/><whereToEatImage>/saar5/images/destination/what-to-eat-default.jpg</whereToEatImage><whereToEatImageAltText>Where to eat in Manila - The Aristocrat</whereToEatImageAltText><links><locationLinkLabel/><externalLink/><contactNo/></links></places></whereToEatSection><whereToEatSection><places><category>Filipino</category><categoryLabel>Filipino</categoryLabel><categoryLink>http://www.thegoosestation.ph/</categoryLink><whereToEatHeading>Goose Station</whereToEatHeading><restaurantsDescription>This noble restaurant, opened in 2009, aims to challenge the status quo with its menu choices. Alongside two tasting menus – the Filipiniana, which is the chef’s own version of Filipino cuisine, and Memory, based on an ever-changing freestyle method of cooking – there’s an a la carte one offering via the Epicurean Bar which is more akin to Spanish tapas. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Insider Tip: &lt;/strong&gt; The restaurant is tucked away on 39th Street, and can be quite tricky to find, so make sure you research your route in advance. </restaurantsDescription><insiderLabel/><insider/><whereToEatImage>/saar5/images/destination/main/mnl/Goose-Station.jpg</whereToEatImage><whereToEatImageAltText>Where to eat in Manila - Goose Station</whereToEatImageAltText><links><locationLinkLabel/><externalLink/><contactNo/></links></places></whereToEatSection><whereToEatSection><places><category>Filipino</category><categoryLabel>Filipino</categoryLabel><categoryLink>http://www.lacocinadetitamoning.com/</categoryLink><whereToEatHeading>La Cocina de Tita Moning</whereToEatHeading><restaurantsDescription>This rustic restaurant is a charming place for a memorable evening meal. Promising “fine dining in an ancestral home”, the mansion is full of the antiques and curios of the eminent Legarda family. You can take a guided tour of the house to see it all, including the late Alejandro Legarda’s collection of old camera equipment – he was an avid photo enthusiast and at one time the oldest living member of the Camera Club of the Philippines. The dining room, adorned with hand painted china, is the setting for an experience designed to take guests back to the turn of the century, from the table decor to the food served. Set menu dishes range from seafood potpourri to Tita Moning’s paella Valenciana. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Insider Tip: &lt;/strong&gt; As well as being a must-visit for history buffs, medics will also be very interested. The mansion was also once used to receive patients, and you can see the equipment used by the medics of the family in the former surgery. </restaurantsDescription><insiderLabel/><insider/><whereToEatImage>/saar5/images/destination/what-to-eat-default.jpg</whereToEatImage><whereToEatImageAltText>Where to eat in Manila - La Cocina de Tita Moning</whereToEatImageAltText><links><locationLinkLabel/><externalLink/><contactNo/></links></places></whereToEatSection><whereToEatSection><places><category>Western</category><categoryLabel>Western</categoryLabel><categoryLink>http://www.steakroom.com/</categoryLink><whereToEatHeading>Elbert’s Steakroom</whereToEatHeading><restaurantsDescription>Said by some locals to be where you find the best steak in Manila, Elbert’s certainly takes pride in the quality of its meat and cooking procedure. With its speakeasy vibe, it’s also a pretty cool place to hang out with friends and enjoy a few drinks. There are lots of fine wines and champagnes to try, as well as cigars and a smoking lounge, so it’s a sufficiently decadent place to go all out and make an occasion of it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Insider Tip: &lt;/strong&gt;The gut-busting Prime Rib Lunch, available Monday to Friday, is bound to fill you up for the rest of the day. </restaurantsDescription><insiderLabel/><insider/><whereToEatImage>/saar5/images/destination/what-to-eat-default.jpg</whereToEatImage><whereToEatImageAltText>Where to eat in Manila - Elbert’s Steakroom</whereToEatImageAltText><links><locationLinkLabel/><externalLink/><contactNo/></links></places></whereToEatSection><whereToEatMetaDetails><metaKeyword>Where to eat in Manila</metaKeyword><metaDescription>&lt;p&gt;Choose from a variety of F&amp;amp;B options when visiting Manila&lt;/p&gt;</metaDescription></whereToEatMetaDetails></DestinationRootContainer><SmartVel><smartLocale>en</smartLocale><smartCity>Manila</smartCity></SmartVel><deviceTypeElement><deviceType>desktop</deviceType></deviceTypeElement><JsonStringContainer><JsonString>{"masthead": {"items": [{"country": "Philippines","destinationCountryCode": "PH","destinationCityCode": "MNL","capital": "Manila","readMore": "Read More","readLess": "Read Less","favourites": "Add to favourites","image": "/saar5/images/destination/top-banners/Manila.jpg"}]},"fareDeal": {"introTitle": "&lt;p&gt;At first glance, Manila can seem overwhelming.
