Recommended for: couples who like great bar mixes together with good food
Kabila, Museum Cafe's sister restaurant, makes a nod towards their menu’s direction, which is the other side of what Filipinos have grown accustomed to. With a kitchen headed by Chef Kalel Chan, food here is still Filipino, but imbued with a quirky, almost unpredictable character, with the way it is cooked and presented.
Alba Restaurante Español
Bel-Air, Tomas Morato, Westgate Alabang, and Mall of Asia Complex
Recommended for: Traditionalists, buffet-lovers
If you like the dim, tavern-like dining experiences and quality dishes oblivious to moden kitchen techniques, then Alba is your best bet this Valentine's. Alba's bestsellers throughout the years are consolidated in a comprehensive Spanish lunch buffet (P650++) that's available daily in all their branches. Included in the spread are hot (excellent Gambas Al Ajillo!) and cold appetizers (chorizo de bilbao and company), soup, salad, vegetable, pasta, seafood, and desserts. Among the mains, the Cochinillo's tray is still the quickest to be emptied. People just love to make a beeline for the crispy glossy skin and tender flesh of the golden suckling pig.
If for some reason you've lucked out and you can't get reservations in any of the restaurants above, or anywhere else for that matter, just keep in mind that if your date forgives you for this mess-up, you have a good chance of making it up to her next Valentines. Happy Hearts Day!
