  • The Aristocrat Restaurant in Makati: Home of the Best Chicken BBQ in Town
  • Recognized as one of the most popular restaurants in the country, The Aristocrat Restaurant has been serving delectable dishes at affordable prices since 1936. The restaurant traces its roots to a woman who is lovingly referred to as “Aling Asiang” who helped raise Filipino dishes to international standard.

    Hailed as the “home of the best chicken barbecue in town” – The Aristocrat Restaurant is home to sumptuous eats that everyone will surely enjoy at any time of the day. The restaurant has over 10 restaurants across the country – one of which is their branch in Makati City.

    Start off your meal with the Aristocrat Flying Saucer. The Flying Saucer is a toasted bread packet that’s filled with either adobo or cheese. While usually eaten as a snack or merienda, you can also eat this an appetizer if you’re feeling hungry!

    It’s also worth noting that this particular dish takes inspiration from the trips that Aling Asiang’s family would take to Luneta Park. Seeing that most of the food served around the park were American fare, she decided to make her own version and used adobo as her palaman.

    Palm Grill in Quezon City: Discover the Bold Flavors of Zambasulta Cuisine
    Palm Grill in Quezon City is a one-of-a-kind dining destination that brings the authentic cuisine of South of Mindanao to Luzon. Established in 2017, Palm Grill proudly serves the rich flavors, vibrant culture, and storied history of the Zambasulta region—Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi—offering diners a rare opportunity to explore Southern Mindanaon dishes without leaving Metro Manila. Known as the only authentic Southern Mindanaon restaurant in Luzon, Palm Grill goes beyond simply serving food. It showcases culinary traditions deeply rooted in Tausug and Zamboangueño heritage, highlighting ingredients and cooking techniques that are not commonly found in mainstream Filipino restaurants. A must-try for first-time diners is the Dulang (Php 1,119)—a specialty tray traditionally served during royal banquets. This curated sampler features a variety of Palm Grill’s signature dishes, making it the perfect introduction to the bold and layered flavors of Zambasulta cuisine. Presented generously and meant for sharing, it reflects the communal spirit of Southern dining. Another standout is the Tiyula Itum (Php 560), a striking black beef soup from the Tausug community. Cooked with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, garlic, onions, and pepper, its distinctive dark color comes from burnt coconut meat, which imparts a deep, smoky richness. Often described as “Bulalo 2.0,” it offers a comforting yet complex flavor profile that surprises and delights. For something hearty and satisfying, the Beef Satti (Php 300) delivers skewered beef served with a flavorful sauce that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes. It’s a beloved Southern staple that captures the bold personality of Mindanao’s cuisine. Through its thoughtfully prepared dishes and dedication to authenticity, Palm Grill continues to champion the culinary identity of Zambasulta. For diners in Quezon City seeking flavors beyond the usual Filipino fare, Palm Grill offers an immersive experience—where history, culture, and cuisine come together in every bite.
