Check out some of these Makati restaurants, frequented by locals and expats alike
Makati has always been a pretty stressful place. For most people, the city reminds them of hours stuck in traffic or days cooped up in a 9 to 5. But beyond the stressful image of the city are streets dotted with some of Manila’s best degustations. From high-end restaurants to hole-in-the-wall cafes and all the way to soulful jolly jeeps, Salcedo and Legaspi have become home to some well-loved eats. Below is a list of some of our favourites, restaurants loved and frequented by us and all the hungry Makatizens looking for a taste of something better.
Kyo-to
Authentic kaiseki dining is now within reach in Manila at Kyo-to, a Japanese restaurant located in Legaspi Village. Their elaborate multi-course meals aren’t just delicious, they’re also artfully prepared in the traditional Japanese fashion. Because kaiseki involves a whole experience, a la carte ordering is currently unavailable; however, Kyo-to does provide diners with the chance to order authentic sake. Enjoy a fresh sashimi platter with bite-sized pieces of toro, uni, salmon, and white shrimp, topped off with Hokkaido hairy crabs. The pièce de résistance remains to be the Japanese Wagyu steak, cubes of tender beef grilled and seasoned to perfection on a plate.
