Barbara's Heritage Restaurant

Barbara's is a well-known Filipino heritage restaurant located inside the Walled City of Intramuros. The restaurants boasted the classic architecture famous in the 18th century when the Spanish colonized the Philippines.

When it opened its doors, the restaurant only offered a lunch buffet to accommodate the people working at the nearby offices. However, the restaurant quickly gained popularity, and it eventually decided to expand its menu to serve more customers. Today, the restaurant serves delicious Filipino and Spanish recipes and other European-inspired dishes. 

Aside from the food, the restaurant also hosts a Kultura Night, wherein members of the Folklorico Filipino Dance Company would dance the  Tinikling of the Visayas, Singkil of Mindanao, Pandango sa Ilaw of Luzon, and other traditional dances through Filipino folk songs.

It is located in Intramuros in the early 90s. It is known for revolutionizing the way Filipinos celebrate in the backdrop of their own culture and heritage.
