After enjoying the magic of Christmas at Ballet Philippines’ The Nutcracker, head out to these culinary gems around the metro. We’ve put together a tried-and-tested list of remarkable restaurants that you can dine at after watching the show.
La Cabrera – The Argentinian steak house is world renowned for their perfectly charred steaks cooked on a charcoal grill. La Caberera has made a name for itself as a restaurant that pushes the boundaries of steak. They pair their meats with their unique chimichurri sauce that gives diners a taste of Argentina in every bite. PRO TIP: Order a bottle of Lagarde wine, which pair perfectly with their signature parillas.
La Cabrera is located at 6750, Ayala Avenue, Makati and Edsa Shangri-La Mall. For more information visit thier FACEBOOK PAGE or their Instagram account @lacabrera_mnl
Gallery by Chele – The celebrated Spanish Chef Chele Gonzalez has found a new home in the Philippines, where he is embraced by the country’s most discerning diners. Inspired by local ingredients and traditional cooking methods, each of Chele’s plates are a work of art. Feast on his 10-course tasting menu after the show, and open your palette to a world of possibilities.
Gallery by Chele is located at 5F Clip Center, 11th Avenue corner 39thStreet, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. For reservations please visit GALLERY BY CHELE
La Grima – La Grima is the most casual restaurant on our list. It’s the kind of place you go to when you want to roll up your sleeves, kick off your stilettos, enjoy good food, and have a cold cocktail. The eatery serves authentic Mexican cuisine that is arguably the best in the city. Our recommendation: order a variety of their street tacos, which features proteins ranging from the classic pork carnitas to the more unique chicharones.
La Grima is located at 192 Wilson corner Arras, San Juan City and Abeja cor. Trabajo, Makati City.
