MALATE
By Chavez

Malate offers a unique blend of music and relaxation. Remedios Circle in Malate>Its clubbing days are gone and have evolved into a new phase: fine dining and lounging. Fine dining has conquered Malate a couple of years back after the underground rave scene has died down. There are still couple of loud rocking places on the block such the verve for people with eclectic taste in music and unplugged for acoustic settings. There is also Ladida and Coyote Bar for the partyphiles. Malate crowd has gone through the process of metamorphosis so to speak. It has evolved to its new level of maturity. Laid back, creative and mature. Here is a list of places I recommend for an evening of creative fine dining and lounging.

Acquario

Is the best place to unwind and relax. With its spacious and unique and all white interiors nothing could go wrong. Projected trippy colorful images on the wall accentuate the place and of course satisfies the visual cravings of warped minds. With wide selection of beverages that suite the taste of every Acquario goer from hippie to yuppie.

Café Breton

Crepe and Jazz lovers! This is the perfect place for you. Wide selection of crepes to choose from to suit every palette and you can even make your own! Quaint, cozy and affordable. This place is a MUST to go to. Enjoy the soulful tunes of Billie Holiday and Louie Armstrong while savouring your mouth- watering crepe.

Fidel

French/Moroccan inspired dining/lounging place. Owned by Firma owners Chito Vijandre and Richard Danao. Its tasteful and elegant interiors are something you could expect at Fidel. You must not leave this place without trying their rich,nutty and chocolaty dessert called Dementia. It will definitely blow your mind and make a demented person out of you!

Bravo

Foccaccia, Prosciutto, salads, pizzas are their specialty! If Italian cuisine is on the top of your favorite dishes, then you might want to try Bravo! Their wine list is also very impressive.

Golden Triangle.

Thai food at its best at Golden Triangle. Superb ambience and very laid back setting. Pillows,mats and antique furniture will set the mood for an evening of thai food and a perfect place for blissful relaxation.

The Verve

It has been in Malate for several years now and still undefeated. A night of music and drinking at verve will want you to come back for more. This place is the epitome of ultimate fun and music.
