Tim Ho Wan has been a hit since it first came to Manila back in 2014. While most people know of it as a delicious brunch spot that serves dim sum alongside its iconic pork buns, some also know its BGC branch to be a hotspot for early morning snacks.

An understated classic, Noor’s cauliflower is one of the best appetisers in the city. Its knafeh, made with shredded phyllo pastry, yogurt ice cream, and ricotta rose water syrup, is also worth exploring, as one of its best-selling dishes.
Salvatore Cuomo & Bar
Serving hearty meals from 11:00-2:00am on Fridays through Saturdays, Salvatore Cuomo & Bar has become something of a staple around the BGC area.
