While there are many burger joints popping up all over the city, there’s no doubt that 8Cuts Burger is still one of the best ones out there. Their freshly ground, hand-pressed, and seared-to-order patties are custom-blended from eight cuts of beef which ensures that each bite is seasoned to perfection. For only PHP 165, their tasty and juicy creations will surely win your heart with every bite.

Fun fact: The Meathead used to be an off-the-menu secret burger before it turned into the crowd favorite that it is today.

Banapple is loved by many people for so many reasons and their Banoffee Pie is surely one of them. With its beautifully created layers of dulce de leche with thick slices of banana, on top of a buttery graham cracker crust, it's totally understandable why everyone just can’t get enough of it.

Although they initially started as a humble bakeshop that offers pies and cheesecakes, they have now expanded to serving home-cooked style dishes like the well-loved Chicken Parmigiano (PHP 305), Lasagna Roll-Ups (PHP 345), and Hickory-Smoked Country Ribs (PHP 345). Whether you are dining in, taking out, or having your orders delivered, Banapple will never disappoint!
