  • (CLOSED) Monopole in Makati: A Private Haven for Wine Lovers
  • Let your taste buds travel to the vineyards of Napa Valley through Monopole Wine Bar’s wide array of premium wines and champagnes⁠!

    By virtue of its imported Zalto glasses made especially for expert wine and champagne drinkers among others, there’s no denying that Monopole sets the bar higher for wine aficionados—making it the perfect place for your late-night wine sessions in the midst of Makati City.

    If you’re looking for an intimate place where you can just sit, drink, and let the night drift away, Monopole is the place to go. Aside from the usual red and white wines, you’ll find some of the owner’s limited edition collection in the wine chiller too.

    What’s more, you may ask the wine bar’s sommelier for their best-kept wines⁠ among the 300 labels and brands available, as well as request or order some specialty wine that they can find for you and have it shipped here in the Philippines including bottles of Charles Heidsieck, Chateau Margaux, and Honig.

    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.
