Guidebook for Makati
Food Scene
Mediterranean Cuisine
The somewhat simple interior is more than compensated for by the special dishes. The specialties: different kinds of hummus and falafel balls have already been rightfully praised by other reviewers. So I want to mention that the burekas - we tried the ones with cheese and with potatoes - were very good

Thai Cuisine
It can be very hard to find quality food with Western quality service in Manila. This place never disappoints and the price is very reasonable as well. Can't speak highly enough of the food or the staff.

Israeli's Cuisine
Beni's Falafel is a welcome change from the plethora of fast food chains and cheap and cheerful local food diners.
It offers a limited but tasty range of Israeli dishes which include Falafel, and various dips, breads and pickles.
The Baba Ganoush and Hummus are not quite as tangy as the Lebanese varieties but a squeeze of lemon and extra pinch of salt quickly adjust them to taste.
The food is always fresh and filling and the beer nice and cold.

If you’re craving for shrimps/sea food, you may wanna try Bugga Gump in greenbelt. They offer exceptionally good sea food dishes. We ordered, Oreo magic, Blueberry Lemonade, Shrimp Po’ Boy (French loaf stuffed with warm popcorn shrimp, served with fries) and Ken Bourbon Shrimp Skewers. I so love their lemonade! That Shrimp Po’ Boy is good for sharing. And yes the fries is a thumbs up! It’s kinda pricey for me, but it will definitely satisfy your cravings. Awesome experience!

Italian/ French Cuisine
This place never fails to serve the best Steak Tartare in town (and beyond). Since many years that I go, it still tastes the same. Quality without compromises. And then to round it up, a great Affogato, served in a very yummy way.

Drinks & Nightlife
For fans of the 70's, 80's and 90's music, the Strumms is the place to go. There are several live bands playing in this place nightly and at least 2,bands will alternate each night. Singing along and dancing is a must as the bands are so good. For drinks and food, they have a great selection. it is service with a smile here. The place is often packed, so come early to get a good spot in front of the band. Enjoy!

Finders Keepers is an excellent little bar connected to the ultra hot nightclub, BlackMarket. If you wanna break from the head banging sound and vibe from BlackMarket, just enter the "secret" door to Finders Keepers. Losers are weepers.

Parks & Nature
A small park yet a great respite when the city becomes overwhelming. The huge trees keep the heat out. The place is serene and quiet, despite being surrounded by cars and buildings. My friend and I would buy food and sit on the benches and have a quick picnic there, just enjoying the breeze and the quietness

The Park along with the superb Saturday market. At night the Park is quite crowded, especially around the childrens play area, but during the day a lot more peaceful. The half day Saturday market is exceptionally good for fresh produce. The whole are is surrounded by many excellent restaurants.

Arts & Culture
This museum is not super large, but - to me - it combines the best of what you might find in several other art museums in the region. That combination would be: a sampling of contemporary art that is thoughtful and of high quality and well-presented; a base resource of historical collection showing filipino Masters; a bookstore worth browsing; an architectural environment specifically designed for art; a city context that allows you to get a nice bite to eat before or after.

Galleria Nicolas has a good composition of the exhibits made by budding artists. This place is a must visit for all art enthusiasts.

Great handicraft shop in Makati district of Manila. Staff were great, very helpful, if not a little 'hovering.' Three floors of items to select from, all the way from massive furniture to small bangles and t-shirts. Prices were good, although we had nothing to compare them to, so make your own judgement about value.
