  • A dining escape within the city as The Grove by Rockwell goes street-side

    In the bustling metro lies an enclave of lovely open spaces. The scene is easy and relaxing, all marks of the Rockwell lifestyle. It’s just perfect for streetside dining, a concept that Rockwell in Makati had started. Starting February 12th, The Grove’s restaurants go streetside, too, and it’s sure to delight residents and patrons from the eastern side of the metro.

    The Pasig community can now enjoy al fresco dining along the Retail Row, where they can  indulge in the international cuisines of Om Indian Kitchen, Asakusa Home of Tempura, and Bueno Tapas & Wine. 

    Flavorful samosas from Om, and a variety of delicious tempura sets in Asakusa, are sure favorites for customers. They can cap the night with a sizzling plate of gambas, and a nice glass of Tempranillo or a Spanish cocktail from Bueno. 

    All-day al fresco dining is also available at the Pavilion restaurants’ own dining set-ups. Regulars can enjoy truffle eggs with mushrooms and cheese at The Gardens for brunch. Starbucks has refreshments which are ideal for quick breaks or long work meetings. If they’re craving for something familiar yet exciting, they can opt to dine at Sunrise Buckets, known for their chicken wings drenched in home-made sauces, or Hanamaruken for their savory ramen. Tartufo Ristorante offers delectable Italian dishes that are always freshly made and best paired with thirst-quenching sangrias. 

     

  • The Sweetest Thing: A Guide to Valentine’s Day Dining for Every Type of Date

    To make sure your Valentine’s weekend this year is a safe, sweet, and enjoyable one, Rockwell has come up with restaurant recommendations — whether you’re spending the day with your significant other, a group of friends, or the whole family, pets included. After all, the fastest way to anyone’s heart is through the stomach.

    Table for two? We’ve got you!

    What better way to set the mood for an unforgettable Valentine experience than with a lobster-and-steak dinner date at Mamou Too? Their fresh Maine lobster and dry-aged T-Bone steak make an utterly flavorful, romantic meal. Keep things intimate and at the same time interesting, through conversations over wine or refreshing cocktails like their mimosas and frozen margaritas. 

    Add an extra dose of excitement to your love life and your taste buds by discovering The Test Kitchen’s degustation. Special tasting menus for lunch and dinner await you on Valentine’s Day. 

    Since international travel won’t happen anytime soon, why not have a taste of Asian Mediterranean flavors at Made Nice? Here’s an unexpected pairing — Vongole pasta with their best-selling octopus dish. Make the day even sweeter by topping it off with their scrumptious Tres Leches cake. 

    Spice things up with a Spanish date night at Rambla. Choice wines and modern tapas, together with a relaxed atmosphere, perfectly match the spirited vibe you desire.

    For your friendly Valentine 

    Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romantic love. Barcino, Nikkei, and Draft are popular for their laid back ambiance. Their exciting cuisines, thirst-quenching sangria mixes, Peruvian-Japanese inspired drinks, and ice-cold draft beers, are best consumed with friends. 

    You can’t go wrong with Italian on Valentine’s Day. Head on over to a mano for fresh hand-made pizza and pasta with your constants. But if you’re up for reimagined local specialties, sample Grace Park’s easy, yet tasty meal. This will definitely give you and your friends a delightful time. 

    The family that eats together… 

    We know everyone’s been missing those big family reunions, but you can still celebrate in small ways with your nearest and dearest, through Filipino comfort food. Treat your loved ones to favorite desserts like Via Mare’s bibingka, halo-halo, and puto bumbong after lunch! 

    Should you wish to stroll in the mall for some Valentine’s gifts afterwards, we recommend Cafe Mary Grace’s grilled ensaymada and hot chocolate for your post-shopping merienda. You can also grab a bite of Mesa’s must-try crispy leche flan, or sip into sweetness with Shi Lin’s iced Taiwan milk tea. 

    If you’d like to plan your day ahead, have some authentic teppanyaki as you’re in for a surprise on Valentine’s Day! The Book-A-Visit feature on The Rockwellist mobile app guarantees a sure seat at Teppan Okochi. This is also available for Power Plant Mall restaurants like The Grid, Din Tai Fung, Phat Pho, Manam, Ooma, 8 Cuts, Chili’s, Shi Lin, and Cafe Mediterranean. Download the app and book now before seats run out! 

    Now if you’re longing for one of the best ramens in the metro, Ippudo’s Shiromaru, Akamaru, and Karakamen have you covered.

    To complete the Rockwell Valentine’s experience, enjoy musical performances by RJ Jimenez, Jino Labitigan, Dee Cruz, Anne Clerigo, Charm & Charl, Lance Busa, and the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra, from February 12 to 14, as Rockwell goes streetside at the Lopez Drive.

  • Rockwell Goes Streetside: Your Outdoor Dining Destination

    “Your neighborhood tambayan” was how it was called many moons ago. Dining spilled out to the streets of Rockwell Center.  And it’s back with a timely twist: Safety is a priority.

     

    Your favorite restaurants at Lopez Drive, One Rockwell, Edades, Joya Lofts & Towers and 8 Rockwell have gone streetside, while taking public health protocols to heart. The streets close to the restaurants are cordoned off on weekends to provide serenity and security in an otherwise fearful year. The free and wide open spaces are perfect for family and friendly gatherings that everyone sorely misses. 

    Enjoy personal conversations with friends and family at Pancake House, Grace Park, and Coco Ichibanya, over breakfast or even brunch, while socially distanced, of course. If you’re in Makati and you’re looking for the perfect place to hold your corporate lunch meetings, Rockwell has a variety of options for you. The outdoor set-up and unique cuisines of Nikkei, Woodfire, Single Origin, UCC Café Terrace, and Wild Flour Restaurant will give you the right comfort and ambience to make your meetings productive. Don’t forget to grab a cup of hot coffee from Eight Coffee Bar by UCC to refuel your daily grind. 

    After a long, hard day’s work, go for the relaxing atmosphere of Made Nice, The Test Kitchen, Tajimaya, and Rambla. Catch up with your loved ones over some fine wine or classic cocktails, paired with a lovely dinner. 

    If you happen to be in the San Juan, Ortigas, or Mandaluyong area, why not indulge in a safe and yet sumptuous meal and reinvigorate yourself in their outdoor spaces, where you can choose from a variety of cafes and restaurants? Santolan Town Plaza, The Grove Retail Row, and Rockwell Business Center Sheridan offer al fresco dining as well. 

    Dining out can be both safe, and satisfying. So head on over to your favorite Rockwell restaurants for a worry-free and delightful al fresco experience. Book a table in advance by calling these restaurants.
