Where to Eat in UP Town Center- Restaurants and Food Destinations

Restaurants in UP-Ayala Town Center- Katipunan


UP Town Center is the newest food mecca in the Metro featuring a two-storey hub of restaurants and new dining spots. 

We were curious to know the restaurant selections in the area, so we decided to pay a visit and check it out ourselves. 



Welcome to Manila Casa Verde! Cebu's most popular American-style comfort food destination finally lands in Manila! It is probably the most visited restaurant in UP Town Center as diners flock the place for the famous Brian's Ribs. Another must-try is their gigantic Milky Way- Definitely the biggest milkshake in town!

Check review of Casa Verde here.

2. Liberty New York Steakhouse 


A casual-looking steakhouse with menu consisting of fusion and classic American fares. Enjoy classic dishes like buffalo wings, salads, burgers and steaks, or go fusion with Shawarama Nachos, Falafel Salad, Korean Beef Tacos, Marsala Roast Chicken and Chinatown Beef and Vegetable Stir Fry. 

3. Pinac- Heirloom Capampangan Cuisine

Craving for something light and healthy? Have yourself a bowl of Pho with freshly baked Vietnamese Baguettes and some fresh spring rolls from Ba Nois. 



Go Greek at Kos Greek Ouzeri and enjoy a Mediterranean meal of gyros, tzatziki, saganaki and souvlaki. Did I mention that they serve complimentary and unlimited bread selections? :)



Speaking of unlimited, Red Onion features an all-you-can-eat hand shaved noodles for only P228! They take pride in serving classic Taiwanase dishes such as their 39 Spices Beef Noodles, Crispy and Handmade dumplings. Oh, and they serve Shi Lin's famous Night Market Pork Chop!



The katsu craze is still on with Ginza Bairin setting up its 2nd branch at the UP Town Center. Can't wait to try the Unagi Katsu from the #1 Katsudon place in Japan. 



After all the hype they got from their first branch, IHOP continues to serve Classic American Breakfast for the Filipinos. Pancakes, Waffles, French Toasts and Omelettes, you name it, they got it!
