Living near
Kapitolyo has its perks. It turned from residential to a must visit foodie
destination. Since I have blogged about so many Kapitolyo restaurants, let me
do a rundown of the different establishments and my personal favorites.
I absolutely
love Japanese cuisine. If I could only choose one food to eat for the rest of
my life, I would choose salmon sashimi. And Haru’s salmon sashimi is fresh and
milky! Another must order is the beef teppanyaki.

CAFÉ JUANITA
The eclectic

halo-halo.

damage: PHP700-1,500
Café Juanita is located at 19 West Capitol Drive, Kapitolyo, Pasig City.
Ramen Cool
is your simple no-frills Japanese restaurant. I was pretty disappointed with
their ramen noodles but the other dishes like tempura and teriyaki are pretty
okay. The one I love most though is their iced coffee.

Вà Nôi’s is located at East Capitol Drive, Kapitolyo, Pasig
City. It is on the same side as Three Sisters and across Milky and Sunny.
One of the
early players when Kapitolyo started to become a foodie hotspot, Nav serves
modern Thai cuisines that are drool-worthy. I love the Son-in-Law Eggs as I
looove century eggs. The Catfish salad is of course another staple order.

This
restaurant is fairly new in the area. If I got it correctly, Chef Boy Logro is
part owner of this restaurant. I only got to try a few dishes but the Chinese
Style Ossobucco left a good impression.

Red Panda Bistro is located
at 48 East Capitol Drive, Barangay Kapitolyo, Pasig City. For reservations,

The
well-loved Spanish restaurant in San Juan is now in Kapitolyo as well. I wasn’t
able to try the churros but everyone was raving about it. And the mere fact
that it was sold out at 3 p.m. proves that it really is something worth trying.
(Oh, and the paellas are amazing!)

really good too and a nice meal to share with friends. Plus, the cakes! Oh the
