Tucked away on a side road near the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Troika<\/strong> is a restaurant by day, a casual bar by night, and an art hub all day and night. This hole in the wall is a good find especially for Manila city\u2019s university students and millennials who live in the area.<\/p>\n

\"\"Troika serves good\u00a0meals at reasonable prices.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Whoever said \u201cthree\u2019s a crowd\u201d certainly haven\u2019t met the three owners of Troika. Three high school friends formed a business much like fire, air, and water make up the earth. One a dedicated businessman, one a chef, and one an interior designer\u2014their threesome harmoniously established a business that will cater to people who want a cozy hangout with reasonably priced food and drinks.<\/p>\n

\"\"Troika is a Russian word for trio.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Troika is a quaint little space with a relaxing ambiance brought by the artworks hanging on the walls, rustic light fixtures, and recycled furniture. Every corner radiates artistry and craftsmanship by the very owners.<\/p>\n

This art and food hub serves enjoyable European-inspired meals to go with friendly conversations. We highly recommend their Troika Sardines<\/strong>, a pesto pasta dish that features bits of slightly spicy sardines.<\/p>\n

\"\"Troika Sardines (Php 160)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

A delightful rice meal served in a cute steel pan, their Creamy Pesto Fish Fillet<\/strong> has light flavors that go well with the creamy pesto mayo dip.<\/p>\n

For those who enjoy a bit of sweetness in their food, the Troika Burger <\/strong>is made delicious with a combination of caramelized bacon, cooked onions, and mozzarella cheese.<\/p>\n

Another must-try is the Mozzarella Bacon Bomb<\/strong>, a serving of three potato balls made with bacon bits and mozzarella.<\/p>\n

For refreshment, try the best-selling frappe Choco Mallow Mousse<\/strong>, which is a chocolate-based frappe made with marshmallows, choco mallows, a choco wafer stick, and vanilla ice cream. While it\u2019s made with a lot of things sweet, the base is light so the sweetness is not overwhelming.<\/p>\n
