Sights & Landmarks
The Saint Andrew Cathedral-Parish in Paranaque is a serene and pleasant place for prayer. The church lay workers are highly engaged, while the Parish Priest delivers his homily as a detailed explanation of the Sunday readings. There is a hope for more youth to attend a search-in event during the upcoming vocation month, promoting priestly or religious life. Gratitude is expressed towards the Merciful and Compassionate Heart of Almighty God.
What i like about this church is they bless birthday celebrants of each month every first sunday of the month..kaya if you feel u need to be blessed and prayed over during your birthmonth, this is the church to go.

The stone church was started being built in 1638 and was finished around in 1650 under the term of Reverend Dionisio Suarez O.S.A. In June of 1899 the US Navy monitor ship the USS Monadnock fired upon the belfry of the church creating holes in the structure - this action was part of the Philippine-American War.

Nature & Parks
Rizal Park is a sprawling complex of gardens, lawns and monuments in Manila, Philippines that honors Dr. Jose Rizal, the nation's national hero. The park features Chinese and Japanese Gardens as well as the National Museum of the Filipino People, among other attractions. It has been a popular tourist spot since its inception in 1912.
I love the dancing fountain! The place is nice and clean, though not much of social distancing was observed, but not one area was crowded. Nice place to hangout with friends and family. Though some parks like the Japanese park is still closed.

It was a very nice and spacious park. The breeze coming from Manila bay keeps your mood cool even in a hot sunny day. At night, the dancing fountain entertains the visitors. A lot of historical attractions and monuments can be found and take photos here. This park is both relaxing and informative It is perfect for educational field trip, family bondings, and soul searching.

This is a very memorial palace for the history of the Philippines. A very must visit place for every Filipino. Since it is my first time visiting here I am already amazed with the view. Very historic place and it didn't fail to emphasize the history of the Philippines which is the essence of having a historical park. In weekdays we can really enjoy the place since there are only few people walking around, but on weekends I think there will be more people. I love the availability of alcohols in every corner which are important to maintain health protocols. The place is well guarded and it is nice to see post guard standing besides the monument. The park is clean and well maintained, you can also grab some foods in the stores located outside the park. You have a flexible budget you can hire authorized photographer in the area, they are very friendly and capture nice photo of you. Please be reminded that you should keep off the grass and careful not to damage any sculptures. I hope you will visit the place and support our local historic sites, vendors and business enterprise. If you are concerned if there is any restroom, I don't know but I think there is, you can just ask the guard or other tourists.

A large clean park in the centre of the city which offers a great location to escape the bustle and noise of the city. There’s plenty of seating throughout and lots of things to admire, from the main monument to the Chinese garden and market stalls. Covid restrictions mean you can only enter / exit through designated gates, with the need to have your temperature checked, but it’s no hassle and certainly a place I’d recommend wandering through on a visit to the city.
Steve Bintley — Google review
A very beautiful park. With some lovely views and stunning fountain. It was very enjoyable to walk around. There are some food stands close by Rizal monument and some beautiful side parks. Great place to have a small picnic with friends and/or family. Please clean up after yourself. Also there are horse and carriage rides to other places like Manila beach. Take your time when you are at the park and enjoy the view.

Lots of trash bins so it's easy to dispose of waste. You can bring food and have a picnic. It's hot though so better go there at night and enjoy the light show. There are a lot of food vendors but I recommend bringing your own food and drinks. Not a lot of things you can do though. The gardens have entrance fees.

One of the country's historical place in the city. Beautiful sculptures, gardens, and a nice sight for families' or friends' picnic and bonding. Though lots of people went here and it's in the city, it's a serene and calm place to be. Aside from this, there's a lovely musical dancing fountain everyone can enjoy to watch.

A beautiful space dedicated to the Philippines' national hero, Jose Rizal. As a Filipino, I felt compelled to come learn and pay my respects to Tito Juan, a man who sacrificed everything for the freedom of his countryman and the love of the land his blood comes from. There is his monument and the space where he was executed, both places serve as reflective points. Then there are other parts like the dancing fountain, Chinese and Japanese gardens, and a LACMA light pole installation. It makes it nice for people come to to and enjoy the space and I'm grateful they don't interfere with the area which honors Tito Juan. For Filipinos, it's a must come. For everyone, please enjoy all this space has to offer!

Beautiful public park. It is also the largest public park in the whole metropolis. It is the burial site of one of the nation's most famous heroes, Dr. Jose Rizal. It is an open space with lots of trees and green areas with some features such as the largest relief map of the Philippines, national museums, library, gardens, monuments, fountains, statues, etc. The "kilometer zero" marker is also found here.

The National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help is a contemporary Romanesque religious site that boasts a revered icon, a colorful rose window, and a 24-bell carillon. The church underwent renovations to adapt to the new normal and is now a popular pilgrimage destination with spacious hallways and grounds. However, the area can be busy during daytime, so visitors should be mindful of their personal belongings.
Beautiful church with spacious hallways and grounds. They renovated the place and further improved it in accordance to the new normal. A popular stopover and pilgrimage site. Near shopping centers where you can buy cheap stuff and all sorts of things. A very busy area though during daytime. Be mindful of your personal belongings too.

Walking distance to Don Aldrin terminal. Lots of vendors on the streets and restaurants in the area. Quite spacious, but with limited seats only at the center of the church. It's great that there are monitors for the convenience of people seated at the back. They have Tagalog and English masses almost every hr and a half.

This place is remarkable, it's big enough to accommodate most of the devotees and the seats are comfortable. There are different areas around the church where you can light a candle and pray. The main entrance of the church is clean and well maintained. Over all, this place is ideal to add to your religious sites to visit around Metro Manila. But as expected, this place could be crowded, so be mindful of your surroundings and the people walking by or standing near you.

The National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help or the Baclaran church could have been a part of your life at one time or the other. If you're a Catholic this would be the first church in mind on a Wednesday so expect a crowd here day in and out. Its ironic that even a thousand people gather here, there is still silence & solemnity in the middle of the crowd. Everybody is welcome in this Shrine. Keep your faith burning.

We visited Baclaran Church on a weekday. The church was a part of our itinerary during our short family break in Manila. Did a little shopping at the shops around the area, then proceeded to the church to pray. The church was full of devotees even on a non-peak hour. But it was not very crowded. We were able to say our prayers in silence. The surroundings of the church was well-maintained. Clean courtyard, nice gardens, and there's a security station by the corner.

I have attended mass here during the week and on Sunday. They have several masses during the week and a lot more on Sunday. It has beautiful features.. the stained glass and furnishings seem taken cared of. There are enough seats.. even on a Sunday. The pews are very comfortable to kneel on. There are tvs and speakers throughout the church for parishioners to see and hear the mass even if they are not close to the altar. The parish office is in a building right outside the church.. easily accessible. They keep the donation envelopes there and you can also get holy water (as long as you have a container) from the information booth.

One of the best ramen bars we've tried thus far. This shop is not using the mainstream tonkotsu broth hence the lighter taste. This is a great product for sickly days, not heavy on the stomach. I ordered Miso ramen which exceeded my expectation! Couldn't rival the ones at Mendokoro since the latter uses tonkotsu broth but they are both great in their own way. Also had enough space to munch some gyoza (which was also great, not 'gingery' as my wife described) and a rice bowl dish. This goes to show sacrificing a heavy broth lets you experience more from the menu!

Great Ramen experience! Went here with my wife we ordered Tantanmen and Chashumen and a serving of Gyoza. Taste is quite good, but if you've been into some top Ramen place such as Nagi, Yushoken, Mendokoro etc. Dont expect too much that it would be that same level of taste. Nevertheless we had a good food experience here and the price is quite affordable, the crew were accomodating and greet you with a smile upon entry with some japanase greeting (up to now i cant even pronounce haha) This is a must try Ramen experience in BF Homes!

The food and price here is excellent! I have been going here for several years now. They have expanded the restaurant. I just hope that their grill gets repaired immediately. They have the best yakitori (enoki, shitake, eringi) in town! As a side note, their frontage is small so its best to park at ministop and walk towards mensakaba geishu. Sometimes at night you can park across the resto beside the hotel.

Good ramen (their chashu is tender and flavorful), at an affordable price! 👍 They're good enough to always have a queue of diners outside (their place can only accommodate I think 12 diners at a time), and they're not open the whole day (lunch and dinner only), so it's best to check their opening hours and come early.

Restaurant
La Chinesca in BF Homes is a cozy space adorned with taco-themed artwork, showcasing their playful and unconventional approach to tacos. It stands out when compared to its neighboring restaurant, Sensei. The must-try items include the outstanding carnitas taco and the delightful tuna tostada. The lamb barbacoa is also worth mentioning. However, the beef brisket taco falls short of expectations. Their chilaquiles dish is a comforting delight that becomes even better with hot sauce.
Sharing a space with Sensei, I do believe that it is La Chinesca that shines brighter between the two. The two best and must order items are the carnitas taco and the tuna tostada. The carnitas taco is far and away the best taco, though the lamb barbacoa is also very good. The beef brisket taco was just okay. Their chilaquiles is also very good, it's a great comfort dish but it's way better once you put hot sauce on it. Their horchata is also pretty good.

Ok I'm not that big on Mexican food in the Philippines as I find a lot of them taste the same and is one dimensional but this place impressed me. I love pretty much all the tacos I had especially the fish taco. Prices aren't cheap as one taco is priced like a meal at McDonald's but dining here is an experience since you have to eat with your hands. Each taco is prepared on order and they're all a taste sensation. Parking sucks and this restaurant is hard to find so look for the farmery on Aguirre as they're all part of the same building.

When heading to La Chinesca don’t get confused. It’s sharing the same space as sensei sushi but once inside they have the 2 menu for you to choose from whether you’re feeling like japanese or mexican. We ordered their staple taco tray and their uni and pulpo tostado paired with mexican coke. All tacos depend on how good the base is and they have excellent hand made corn tortillas topped with their well balanced toppings and served with a side of hot sauces. My personal favorite is the carnitas, it’s so well balanced with that added texture, sweetness, and saltiness at every bite. Another thing we always come here for is their pulpo tostado. It’s balanced, pulpo tastes great. It’s just addicting really. There are also textures in every bite from the crispy corn tortilla. The uni tostada was also really good but maybe not for everyone as uni is a delicacy. Overall a very good experience and worth visiting.

It took me a long time before I could write this review as I was so disappointed with my latest experience at this new location. Pre-pandemic, La Chinesca was a great place to go to, with their unique, if fancy take on Mexican fare. We always came away quite satisfied and it was a place that I would recommend. When they started sharing space with Sensei, the food quality became average, nothing to rave about. The kicker was our bill came to about P1,500 per head, which was definitely very bad value for what we got. I want to say that the staff were very good and maintained their professionalism despite a lot of tables being occupied. However, I won't be going back.

We went to this resto for a late afternoon snack. The resto apparently observes a mid day break and wont open until 6pm. Food we ordered and our review (based on our taste buds): * Carnitas - 5 of 5 (my son ordered a second serving) * Camaroncito - 4 of 5 * Conchinita Pibil - 4 of 5 * Salmon Sashimi - 3 of 5 Place: The resto has around 12 tables more or less and so its better to come in early. Value for money: 4 of 5 Overall: The food is good especially the tacos, which we are guessing their specialty. Serving size is not that generous though.

One of the Best Taco in the South La Chinesca together with Sensei are one of the most visited place in BF. Both restaurants are sharing the same place. So those could be the reason why it is also so difficult to park during their busiest time. Fortunately, we had the chance to park and to dine in after lunchtime. While for La Chinesa, taco is their best dish and they are offering different flavor to choose from. Their tacos are so mouthwatering and so flavorful. It is so juicy that we barely used their sauces but those dips are good too. The experience to dine in is something we would like to do again and their tacos are something we would definitely crave again. 🥰

Overall, a great experience at the steakhouse with excellent service. The house bread paired wonderfully with the balsamic vinegar.

Ok this place is so pretty and the open kitchen is to die for. They give a basket of bread that’s freshly baked and must have to eat. I had the mushroom pizza which was also good. They also have an amuse bouche to start with. The highlight of my experience of this restaurant is the tiramisu. They prepare it right at your table and it was sooo good. I doidnt realize they also give you 2 free chocolates to choose from their box. Service was great! Definitely a nice place but make sure to bring your wallet cus it can get pricey!

If this is what you call fine dining in Manila then its not going to pass international fine dining quality. 1. No proper table setting 2. Service is not good. You pour your own wine bottle to your glass. They dont even say thank you when u leave the restaurant. Or even ask you if you enjoyed their food. Food wasnt that great tasting. Presentation is not so wow ( considering for the price and location) 4. Best not to have live music if the singer looks like shes doing karaoke constantly glued on her lyrics. No Audience engagement or spiels between songs. Better just play audio music if thats the case. She looks like shes just practicing. We expected more a performance level. Atleast also she should wear a nice dress and look more elegant. To me she looked sloppy.

We had our anniversary dinner here, it was 😃! Located in the Solaire Resort the ambiance is nothing but total luxury, and food is definitely on par with the setting. We started the happy hour unlimited drink special, which I fully used. They had 3 cocktails available, of which I enjoyed 2 out of the 3, and got 6 total over the night. It came with some small appetizers which we had along with the complementary bread basket. Next we split a Ceasar salad and Agnolotti. My girlfriend actually enjoyed the Caesar salad, which is a first, she never likes salads. We were a little disappointed with Agnolotti, we like the concept but felt the sauce was too salty. I ended up finishing my girlfriend's portion. The Australian Wagyu Ribeye steak was the highlight dish, and the best we've ever had. A succulent beef flavor, excellent charring, and very tender. It absolutely did not need any sauce, though we did try the truffle butter, and the option was nice. The sides were nice additions though we were getting pretty full. For dessert we really loved the tiramisu, truly a wonderful end to fantastic meal

My all time favorite restaurant in Manila. Service is world class and food is beyond excellent! The staff there makes my trip worthwhile. Been my tenth time I guess! Before heading for dinner, I'd suggest to have a drink at the Finestra Bar. The selection of drinks and cocktails are avant-garde. That will mentally prepare you for the next dining experience. The dinner menu is extensive, and surprisingly, fair priced given this exclusive location. With me Being a vegetarian, they managed to cater something special for me-- the eggplant parmagiana. And yes, the pizza's are grate too. Margherita classic with a dash of truffle oil-- thank me later! May require advance ordering as its off the menu. Highly recommended!!

Extraordinary service and excellent food! I highly recommend the seared scallops, primavera pizza, rib eye steak, and panacotta cheesecake.

Bamba Bistro is a cozy, homey restaurant located in the busy streets of BF Homes Paranaque. With dependable menu options for both day and night, this spot is perfect for friends and family gatherings alike. Plus, their new outdoor seating area allows for a breezier dining experience.
If you haven’t gone here, you should definitely add this to your must-try restaurants. They really know how to make good food. The food is excellent, the place is a bit small so it’s perfect for dining with family or friends. They allow pets (al fresco area) so thats +100 points for me. Their delivery service is hassle-free. We just call or message them and in 30mins we have our food right away (perks of living in a village next to them). Our favorites are Salmon Crostini, the ultimate chicken burger, silog ni sir. They have a secret menu too and you should try the ECQ burger and Not your mom’s salisbury :)

Duck Ravioli is a must try The place is serene and romantic. It is good for intimate events with family, friends and loved ones. Most of our order were pasta. We liked the seafood aglio olio and the truffle mushroom cream. But best to order their most recommended in the menu. Otherwise, order their hidden gem, the duck ravioli (our favorite) which is not in their menu but I believe is available when asked. All of them had a big serving that is good for 1-2 person. The service crew is very accommodating and well trained. Kudos to them. Our overall experience is good and unforgettable. We are happy to be able to try here. Thank you!

Food is great, a little bit on the expensive side. Portion is just right for one person. I had a salad, nothing fancy. I had ceasar salad with bacon however for some reason it tasted like fish. The club sandwich was a pleasant surprise though. The chicken stands out in flavor. Didn't get the chance to try out the other food but my friends said everything tastes great. We also had brazo cake, nothing fancy.

Food is delicious and worth traveling to! We tried their salmon crostini, truffle cream pasta, and glazed seafood. All good. Serving size is good for around 2 pax. Will try other dishes next time.

A very good friend recommended me this place and what a nice discovery! The quality of the food is amazingly good. The salmon crustini is a must try, believe me it is on a another level. You can also order very good homemade cakes to take away. The vibe is very calm and quiet, and the service is excellent. Will definitely come back on my next trip to Manila

Has ample parking space. only suggestion for our 2nd visit, is their ribs and chicken is a little bit salty. other than that everything was good. The highlights! Service is A++ B4B* A++ (servings are big) Taste A++ *B4B (Bang for Buck)

We had the Set Menu for Mother's Day. The service took so long even thougj we had reservations and called an hour before to let them know we will be there accordingly. The food was really great though. Almost made up for the slow service and the overbearing music. *we're long time customers, pre-pandemic. This was the first time we've been back.

Place is a bit small but don't let that deter you from trying their good food. Checked what the hype is all about especially on their Tindahan ni Maria salad -- wow blown away by the freshness of ingredients, inclusion of salted egg, and most of all that really good vinaigrette!!! Even my partner who doesn't like salad really enjoyed this one. Other dishes we ordered were also delicious: duck ravioli in truffle cream sauce (best to share as it can get umay after 3 raviolis), malupetsyadon (that uni butter is really a great idea), and French onion soup (haha nasayangan kami with the cheese on the sides of the bowl & tried to scrape it). Highly recommend this place even it's far for people not from the South. Worth the trip!

I was so looking forward to dining at this restaurant because of the articles and reviews i read. We came in early around 6pm April 9. Our first appetizer was an artichoke crostini. It tasted good. Toast with cheese some pesto dressing topped with artichoke. First course "Pass". Then we had the Bistro Salad. It has fried onion rings on top with tenderloin pieces. Taste wise its good but a little oily coz of the onion rings. So far so good. We were looking forward to the main course. The 24hr pork belly arrived. We were expecting something better like very soft melt in your mouth type but it was an ordinary belly. Like fried on top of a very salty soy rice. We had to return the dish and they replaced the rice to a lighter more palatable rice. Last item ordered was a Duck Ravioli. Which i saw as a must try in an article. It was off the menu but you can still order it. This one was a real fail. The white sauce tasted like evaporated milk and the ravioli tasted bland and i don't taste any duck at all. 1/10. Overall, we got disappointed after a good start and left with a 2400 peso bill that didn't satisfy us. In short, sayang pera. It was too expensive. Lesson learned, don't believe all the raving reviews.

disappointed. overpriced and so so food. started with salmon crostini. the bread should be crispy . too sweet for my taste. the creamed mussel is okay. the Caesar salad was disappointing. its overdressed and the dressing was not close to an authentic Caesar salad. they could also baked the croutons to give it some color. the main course was mediocre. You can get better rice bowl from Panda Express. lol. For the price you are paying, i expect some attention to the dishes . the salmon were overcooked. the rice was just mixed with poorly prepared teriyaki sauce. My mom enjoyed her Beef dish but i thought it tasted like the maggi seasoning typical of beef salpicao. I think the dish was itlog ni Sir. Lol. The cucumber calamansi juice was good. we spent 5000 pesos for 4 people for a couple of small servings of appetizers and 4 entree and drinks. Pretty expensive for the quality of food we ordered. The service was slow. I was hopeful that the food would be at least better prepared for the time that we waited. Overall, its a fail for me. The two star was for the mussel and the calamansi juice. lol.

Amazing food and the staffs are really nice. However,the price is kinda high (average about 800 Pesos per person). Recommend their oriental salad and soup. Dinner time during weekend and holiday might be crowded. They also have enough parking at the front of the store and another side of the road.

Small space for dine in so better call for a reservation. All food tasted sooooo good!! Our favorite were spaghetti bolognese and tindahan ni maria. Spag bolognese tasted like lasagna, it’s so creamy and cheesy. Tindahan ni maria is a life changer. We dont eat salad, but this is an exception!!

All the food that we ordered was very tasty. The Mama Lou's pizza and Truffle pasta are definitely a staple. But that pumpkin soup was surprisingly delicious. And that grape shake was so refreshing!

I went to Mama Lou’s-Bf Homes once on a weekday and I loved my experience there. The staff starting from the guard to the personnel inside the restaurant were very polite and they welcomed me very warmly. The food was delicious! The server even suggested other items on the menu that would go well with the menu I ordered. Due to the great service and delicious food they presented to me. I came back again on a weekend. I highly recommend people to come here.

Great food, all the food were served fresh from the kitchen and in a timely manner. The servings were huge—we ordered much more than what our tummies could eat—all 35 of us. Den-den the server was very friendly and attentive. Thanks for making our aunts’ joint birthdays celebration a memorable and food-filled one.

We went there during one of their anniversary celebrations and the unli refills were a treat! I was surprised I haven't visited such a prominent restaurant like Mama Lou's in BF Homes. I was told this was the place where it all started. It definitely lived up to its flagship first branch. The first course I ordered was truffle pasta with a tremendous amount of mushrooms. It didn't include meat so it might be a good option for those with a diet preference. My refill though was the carbonara and despite being a refill still had a generous topping of bacon. The atmosphere also matched that of a comfy home and we even enjoyed a performance live. The violinist they hired interacted and entertained requests which added to the comfy home vibe. It was all smiles til the end with a full stomach. Definitely a must visit and must know if you live in the area and are a pasta lover! Can't wait to visit again and try the pizza ❤️

We are regular diners and today's experience is made exceptional by Ms Joy, the Store Manager. Super attentive to our needs. We needed a baby chair bit we were initially seated on a table that's placed where a baby chair wont fit. We were immediately transferred. Server Alex was fast too and offered to take a photo. Food is always great and pristine. Love Mama Lou's!

Spent my birthday here with my family. Good food and good service! Really loved their Truffle Mac & Cheese. Pizza is also good, but you have to try it with their spiced honey! ❤️ Other pasta dishes that we tried were also gooood. Oh and plus points to them for giving me a free birthday cake slice.

Any visit to Parañaque warrants a visit to Mama Lou's! The staff was delightful and attentive and the food was delicious and contemporary. The two pizzas we had are pictured and were as delicious as they were beautiful. Very reasonable pricing was the bonus! Shout out to our server Aires!

Ordered a Quattro Formaggi pizza, Mama Lou’s Special and Truffle Mac and Cheese for delivery via grabfood. Everything tasted delicious. Even the soda in can was well-chilled and a perfect pairing for the pizza. Must-try!
