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.

Haru Sushi Bar and Restaurant is located at 9 West Capitol
Drive, Kapitolyo, Pasig City.
CAFÉ JUANITA
The eclectic
and popular Filipino restaurant first started in Kapitolyo before it branched
out to the busy Bonifacio Global City area. Do try their kare-kare and
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.

This place
has been my favorite Vietnamese restaurant since I visited its Makati branch.
The Bo Lu Lac is to die for. Tender and flavorful, every bite is such a
delight!

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.

LONGGANISA SORPRESA
Been craving
for Vigan, Lucban or what-have-you longganisa? You don’t have to drive all the
way to those provinces just to taste those delectable longganisa. All you have
to do is pay Longganisa Sorpresa a visit.

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,
please call 475-0877.
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!)

This is one
of my favorite restaurants in Kapitolyo. The anise pork belly and the vanilla
pumpkin soup are just so delicious. Plus, those not so hidden stick figures on
the brick walls are adorable! Do try the beef shanks!

The always
jam-packed restaurant is not just some one-night hype. It actually serves
really good Mexican food. You won’t go wrong with the stuffing as every single
one is delicious! I’ll try oxtail next time. (They were out of that one as
early as 11:30 am!!!) The mojito’s pretty refreshing too!

Silantro Fil-Mex Cantina is
located at 75 E. Capitol Drive, Pasig City, Metro Manila.
I witness
this small restaurant start from being a quiet player in the market to a very
popular and successful one. Who wouldn’t when its bacon slabs are to die for?
The refreshing iced tea is such a delight as well. The sausage platters are
really good too and a nice meal to share with friends. Plus, the cakes! Oh the
cakes… <3 You might want to visit Epic
Coffee for Poco Deli’s cakes too and pair it with coffee.

CAB CAFÉ
A café that
serves la paz bachoy? Yes, there’s one! Enjoy side by side some cakes and a
warm bowl of la paz bachoy (though not recommended) in Cab Café! They also have
burgers which are loved by my sister. [Sister Approved!]

Cab Café is located at 18 East Capitol
Drive, Barangay Kapitolyo, Pasig City.
Gostoso’s
dishes are awesome! Priced at friendly prices, ordering two dishes for yourself
isn’t such a bad idea. Try the Piri Piri Chickena dn the Porco Gostoso. And get
the creamy corn as side dish. <3

CHARLIE’S
Yet another
popular joint in Kapitolyo is the burger place called Charlie’s. The wagyu
burgers are juicy, thick and flavorful. It’s hard to be girly while eating
their burgers but who cares? It’s party in the mouth!

Charlie’s Grind and Grill is located at 16
East Capitol Drive, Barangay Kapitolyo, Pasig City.
This
sandwich and ice cream place is also always packed with hungry diners. It is
not a surprise at all as the place serves awesome sandwiches, steaks, fries and
ice cream! I love the man sandwich and the Javan Hot Chocolate ice cream!
