Tasting one Filipino dish is not enough to\u00a0conclude how exceptional the whole Filipino cuisine is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you loved the legendary Aristocrat restaurant, you might also come to love what its sister restaurant has been serving for many years now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alex III<\/b> was established by one of the grandsons of Justice Alexander \u201cAlex\u201d Reyes and Engracia \u201cAsiang\u201d Reyes, the founders of Aristocrat restaurant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Its first-ever branch is located in Tomas Morato, wherein they serve all sorts of Filipino and Chinese comfort food. After many successful years, it then branched out to other cities in Metro Manila, including Fairview in Quezon City.<\/span><\/p>\n

The restaurant speaks nothing but home with its cream walls, warm lighting, and\u00a0wooden fixtures. Its warm ambiance invites diners to experience how Filipinos enjoy a hearty meal in the comforts of their own home.<\/span><\/p>\n
