Old Manila Manila

Old Manila sits on the ground level of The Peninsula Manila, at the intersection of Ayala and Makati Avenues. The restaurant is steps from the Ayala Museum and Greenbelt Park, placing it in the thick of the city’s commercial center.

The room runs smart and elegant, but the real draw is the contrast between its traditional Asian foundation and the contemporary kitchen. While the surrounding area is defined by the rapid churn of nearby Glorietta Mall, Old Manila offers a deliberate pace that most neighborhood dining options lack. Choose this if you want the precision of a white-tablecloth experience without venturing into the quieter, more remote reaches of the city. It prioritizes a level of service that makes the neighboring malls feel miles away, even when they are just outside the door.
