Barbara's Restaurant


After hours of walking inside the National Museum and Luneta, we finally decided to sit down and have a snack.

Surprisingly, there's a small and cozy Spanish restaurant in the middle of a beautiful garden. Barbara's restaurant is situated inside the Orchidarium. Its homey spanish interior blends well with the relaxing view of the flowers, trees, waterfall and pond.

For snacks Ed ordered Sotanghon with mango shake and I ordered the combo of grilled ensaymada and spanish chocolate. The chocolate was nutty and tasted like choc nut. It's good but I didn't get to finish it since its nutty flavor was too rich for me. Try dipping your ensaymada in the spanish chocolate to eat the Filipino way. Pretty good! :-)

All in all our bill was about P355. Not bad for a snack for two in a nice place like that. Their entrees though are a bit pricey ranging from P250 to P450 per dish.

This place is often a venue for wedding receptions because of its romantic setting. Their branch in Intramuros is equally as beautiful with its brick walls and intimate interior. They have wedding packages as I saw in their brochures.
A different place to visit and to try out while in Manila. :-)
