Ilustrado Restaurant 1 Manila reviews

It is as extravagant as the service and accommodations. It's worth every penny.

Score (pes) Price Experience Score (pes), 8.5 10. Parking service available. Good Food. Ambiance Cultural Heritage Cr ok. This is a subjective experience.

It was good food and an atmosphere that is not as common apart from what you see on the walls, but it did make a lasting impression in Spanish. (

Great food and nostalgic ambiance of Intramuros. The choices are heavy filipino favourites like Morcon, Lengua, Kare Kare amongst others. The price point is not as expensive as the name implies. Hopefully, the speed to serve gets better.

I m genuinely surprised that people actually liked this place. I had their callos and It was mediocre at best. You can find better food than this for less money, for sure. No service water! Any restaurant that asks you to pay for something like water is a nope on my book. Place looked nice though. Very on theme with the whole Intramuros vibe.

a great example of an elitist restaurant, you re just paying for the name not the food.

Lovely ambiance. Enjoyed the caesar salad with chicken instead of bacon and chocolate cheese cake. Honestly, the cheese cake was excellent!! The chocolate was so rich and balanced well with the cheese cake part.

Nice and cozy

Great food and location. Free parking available.

Ilustrado, thank you so much for fulfilling my request. My boyfriend asked for you to play Happy Birthday to me. It was also my first experience with Filipino cuisine. He loved it!

Even though it wasn't on the menu, the vegetarian paella was delicious

Excellent restaurant, terrace and bar with outdoor seating.

No meat was used in the Kare Kare recipe

It was delicious and I enjoyed it enough to enjoy the meal at the historical site.

Excellent food, service and preservation in an historic building.

This is a must visit and eat while in Manila. Housed in a nice colonial building, Ilustrado boasts of excellent ambience, great food and first class staff. Kudos to owner Bonnie as well as managers Mike and Beah, staff Marlito, Cassie, Caloy and Chito! Manila...has been made better by you all!

Had a lunch with my family there last month and it was an awesome experience. We ordered some salads (Ceasar & Fruits), Soup (Pumpkin), Seafood Paella, KareKare & Angus Beef (Adobo). All plates served taste really good (especially the angus). That day we feel sosyal...so we paired the meal with red wine. Their desserts were good too we had to order... see more

I have dinner there with my partner. Food was good (pork, calamari, rice) , shame many items on the menu weren t unavailable. Overall one of the best Restaurant in Intramuros.

The location and decor is beautiful. The singers were very good. The waiters did not smile. The wine list was out of date and many of the good wines, both red and wihte, were unavailable . Seems like this restaurant had better days, and now the...staff does not seem very knowledgeable or helpful. I had to ask for mustard several times to go with my... see more

Nicely set out with pleasant staff. Live music, but, for once, not intrusively loud. The food came reasonably quickly. The paella was excellent with that nice crust at the bottom and a good variety of seafood and chicken. For dessert our party had Brazo de...Mercedes, but frozen! and huge! and rather rectangular instead of the usual Swiss roll type... see more

This is a Filipino restaurant with a Spanish themed menu. We went in the summer of August for a late lunch and got seated right away. The menu has a wide variety of dishes and all of the dishes we ordered were good. The service...was good. The place is clean and the wait staff are attentive.
