Aguirre Avenue in B.F. Homes, Paranaque has been a haven for restaurants long before Maginhawa Street in Quezon City or Lilac Street in Marikina started gaining traction. It is home to small, typically family-run restaurants that people often associate with Maginhawa and Lilac.<\/p>\n

Some of these restaurants have stayed put, while others have already moved on to greener pastures in places like Makati, BGC, and Ortigas. There are also restaurants that have sprung up within and around Aguirre Avenue, and there are still those looking to open their doors.<\/p>\n

Here are eight restaurant gems in and around Aguirre Avenue that you should try:<\/p>\n

Mama Lou\u2019s Italian Kitchen<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing quite like home-made Italian food, and Mama Lou\u2019s is a great place to start. It\u2019s located about two kilometers from Aguirre Ave. in BF International, and is still a hit to this day. It\u2019s been such a big hit that they\u2019ve opened four more branches outside Aguirre: Solenad 2 in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, UP Town Center in Quezon City, Evia Lifestyle Center in Las Pi\u00f1as, and their most recent, Ayala Malls the 30th<\/sup> in Pasig City.<\/p>\n

Trattoria Altrov\u2019e<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a regular in Coron or El Nido, the name shouldn\u2019t be that much of a surprise for you. Trattoria Altrov\u2019e has been hailed as one of the best restaurants around those parts of Palawan, and they\u2019ve brought that same flavor to the streets surrounding Aguirre Avenue. It was an instant hit, and became an open secret for anyone who\u2019s looking for a place to eat around Aguirre.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A mixture of Filipino and Western cuisine will set your palate ablaze at Bamba Bistro. Chef Tina and her crew will give you a culinary treat, giving you unique and delicious treats that you might not have thought of as being possible. Easily one of Aguirre\u2019s most recognizable restaurants, Bamba Bistro should definitely be on your list.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bl\u00e9<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When it comes to Greek food, no other restaurant comes close to Bl\u00e9 in Aguirre. Bl\u00e9 started out as a catering company and as a participant in food markets, particularly the Salcedo Saturday Market and the Legaspi Sunday Market. The success they got from these ventures prompted them to open a full-fledged restaurant the owners affectionately call \u201cSmall Bl\u00e9\u201d. With everything on their menu made fresh, Bl\u00e9 is definitely one restaurant in Aguirre that\u2019s worth a visit… especially if you\u2019re looking for something different.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nikumaru Japanese Restaurant<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One thing we like about Aguirre Ave. is the variety of cuisine you can find. One minute you\u2019re in an Italian restaurant, and before you know it, you\u2019ve already walked towards a Greek restaurant. It\u2019s only fitting that a Japanese restaurant be included in this list, and Nikumaru is as authentic as it gets. Nikumaru serves almost all your Japanese favorites under one roof: sushi, ramen, and Wagyu, all in a setting that\u2019s both classic and modern, much like how you\u2019d see them in Japan.<\/p>\n

Nikumaru is located at 209 Aguirre Ave., BF Homes Int’l Subdivision, Para\u00f1aque City.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hanakazu<\/strong> Japanese Restaurant<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sticking to the Japanese restaurant trend, here\u2019s one where you can find the best sushi and sashimi south of Metro Manila: Hanakazu. The husband-and-wife tandem of Chef Hiroaki and Lorna Otsuka has used fresh seafood ever since they opened in 2005, and they\u2019ve never stopped since. There may be closer Japanese restaurants that serve sushi and sashimi in Alabang, but Hanakazu has them beat in terms of freshness.<\/p>\n

Hanakazu is at 108 Aguirre Ave., BF Homes, Para\u00f1aque City<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ramen Kuroda<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ramen isn\u2019t only a great way of ending your day; it\u2019s also a great way to finish off this list. Admittedly, we are in love with a bowl of hot ramen with warm soup that gives you an energy boost, and Ramen Kuroda is quite possibly the best one in Aguirre Avenue. They may only serve three kinds (spicy, regular, and black), but these three are enough to satisfy any ramen lover\u2019s appetite. It\u2019s also one of the more successful restaurants to start in Aguirre, having branched out to eight (yes, EIGHT) other locations.<\/p>\n

Also read: Ramen Kuroda at BF Homes<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Ramen Kuroda has branches in BF Homes, Para\u00f1aque; Venice Grand Canal Mall in McKinley; Lucky Chinatown in Binondo, Manila; RCBC Plaza in Makati; Eastwood Cybermall in Libis, Quezon City; SM City Ermita in Ermita, Manila; SM Mezza Residences in Quezon City; Entertainment City in Para\u00f1aque, the TV 5 Media Center in Mandaluyong City; and at SM City Fairview in Quezon City.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

There are many more restaurants along Aguirre Avenue, so don\u2019t limit yourself to just these nine. But hey, it\u2019s a good list to start with.<\/p>\n
