The Art of Dining Al Fresco

Al Fresco dining is eating outside. In temperate climates it is especially popular in the summer months when temperatures and weather are most favorable. It is a style of dining that is casual and often party-like in its atmosphere. In order to promote and accommodate the pedestrian activity and vibrancy associated with Al Fresco dining, communities have passed ordinances permitting it, including the service of food and beverages to customers at sidewalk tables until late at night.


In the Philippines, the business of fine dining, usually Al Fresco, is a booming trend especially in the urban areas. In Makati City alone, almost every corner of the streets is teeming with this type of establishment.


I've tried some of them and I'm planning to try more.

Tried Figaro. Honestly, I thought it's that super expensive but I found out that they have ala carte meals on budget. And iced coffee is included.

For P220, you'll be delighted should you choose to have a meal. And a free wifi might encourage you to.

I've also tried Mom and Tina's. I have to say it's a bit like Cafe Mary Grace but smaller in terms of the place itself.

Atmosphere is great but at that time it's raining so we have to get a table inside. It's a nice place to have a get-together with friends and catch up on everything else.

A meal is just about P200, decent.
