We went to Manila last January. One thing we mostly did there was eating. Yeah! We love to eat outside, and dine in different restaurants. Cafe Adriatico is one of the restaurant we try. The place has a cozy and great ambiance. They offer classic Filipino and International dishes for lunch, dinner and afternoon-to-midnight snacking.
We're a big fan of Crispy Pata so we tried their Knockout Knuckle. A whole leg of pork deep-fried in garlic and chilies, cited by well known food writer Madhur Jaffrey as the best pork knuckle dish he has tried in the Philippines. This dish cost us P595, which is quite expensive.
I forgot the name of this dish, but this is one of the food we order. I can assure you, this food is actually great.
All and all they have great tasting food. But their service needs a little improvement though. Advice for those who want to dine there, try there best sellers. That's one thing I forgot to do when we went there.
