Cafe Adriatico

If the history of Philippine restaurants were to be written down, Café Adriatico will be mentioned quite often. It was considered to have been the restaurant that started the bistro culture in the country. And though it was conceived as just a cozy place where friends meet to dine and talk about the day’s news, the café became the IN-Place to be, where Manila’s bright minds and stars hobnobbed with each other as kibitzers looked on.
