Nostalgia at The Aristocrat

Years have passed... generations have moved on, yet one tradition remains, The Aristocrat.

The Aristocrat, located along 432 San Andres St. cor. Roxas Blvd., Malate Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines is a landmark of its own.  It is now known to be one of the tourist spots in Manila, have you ever been to this branch?  This branch has gone though quite a lot of renovations, and maybe some of you or your parents may recall, it also was for a time closed during the early 90's I believe, as I was craving for Aristocrat food then and they were closed for some issue that I'm not really familiar with, the most important thing though is that it is now open and going strong, with more and more branches opening all over the Philippines.

 Chicken Honey... looks so crispy

 The Favorite and the most popular dish, The Chicken Barbeque

 Also in the menu, Pork Barbeque

 Crispy on the outside, meaty on the inside, Lumpiang Shanghai

To top it all off, The best Gulaman at Sago in town.

The Aristocrat is a living legacy of fine Filipino foods, that have survived through the years, it never fails to bring back good memories and it is always a delight to dine in.

Open 24 hours a day!!

BEWARE...The Best Lechon Kawali in town...

This time we trek through the side streets of Manila to find a gem among the vast array of restaurants all over the great metro, there are many places in Manila such as Chinatown, Malate, Pasay that offer lots of food choices... but here in Santa Cruz, Manila there is really one that caught my attention... and my taste bud's attention as well.
