The service was great, from the reception to the waiters, every time we asked about the dishes, everyone was very attentive and patient. It was just that there were so many people, so the wait for the food was a bit long

Ilustrado Restaurant

The food is good and the service is good. From desserts to pasta, seafood, and salads, they are all great. Crispy pata, cheesecake, and the strange carrot cake are all delicious. The price is not expensive. Recommended

No. 9 of Local Restaurants in Manila

The view is great, and the business is very good at night, overlooking the night view of the Spanish Royal City. The food is average, and it is pitch black, and I don&rsquo;t know if the ingredients are clean. The main thing is to enjoy the romantic atmosphere of the rooftop open air.

The hotel in Bayleaf Hotel, where my parents stayed for two nights when they came to the Philippines, is next to the Spanish Royal City, and the restaurant overlooks the Royal City. The breakfast is a buffet with rich food. Just tell me your room number, and the staff are very friendly.

No. 7 of Local Restaurants in Manila

The decoration is exquisite and the architectural style of the Spanish colonial period is preserved. The local Philippine food near the Spanish Royal City is very large. While enjoying the local food, there are also cultural performances of local customs.

The Italian restaurant on the third floor has a beautiful environment and delicious food. The delicious cheese pizza, crispy cheese tarts, refreshing and sweet ice cream, and pleasant restaurant layout make people linger.

A famous buffet restaurant in the Philippines, located in the old town, the environment is like a private garden house, very beautiful, suitable for taking photos and posting on WeChat Moments. The food is average, not suitable for Chinese stomachs, but the locals seem to like it.

服务很棒，从接待处到服务员，每次我们询问菜品时，每个人都很细心和耐心。就是人多，等待食物的时间有点长了

食物 很棒，吃了带有山羊肉的Kaldereta。肉超级嫩，酱汁很棒，蔬菜也很好吃。

Food Was great, had the Kaldereta with goat meat. The meat was super tender, the sauce was great and the vegetables were tasty too.

西班牙海鲜饭、茄子和炸鸡菜肴对我来说很出色。饮料也很好，绝对推荐芒果代基里酒

The paella, eggplant and fried chicken dishes were standouts for me. The drinks were also good, definitely recommend the mango daiquiri

Dining at Illustrado in Intramuros was an unforgettable experience. The warm, welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and beautiful decor—both inside and out—made it feel like a special occasion.  

Here’s what we loved:  
• Sopa de Ajo with Chorizo and Vegetables: A hearty and flavorful starter that warmed us up.  
• Vegetable Kare-Kare: A rich and creamy peanut stew with fresh vegetables, served with bagoong (shrimp paste).  
• Beef Adobo: A tangy and tender stew that perfectly balanced bold flavors.  
• Crispy Pork Head: A recommended specialty—crispy, savory, and utterly delicious.  
• Halo-Halo: The perfect dessert to end the meal—a colorful mix of shaved ice, sweet beans, and fruits.  

If you’re in Manila, don’t miss Illustrado. It’s the perfect spot for delicious Filipino food in a charming, historic setting.

位於馬尼拉教堂區的「Ilustrado Restaurant」，是家有庭院的西班牙餐廳，服務非常好、環境舒適&美麗，很有宮廷的感覺。
料理為菲律賓與西班牙餐點為主，最讓人印象深刻的是燉牛舌、西班牙燉飯與凱薩沙拉。出餐有點慢，適合參觀完教堂後，步行過來休息&用餐。
