Rastro is inspired by El Rastro de Madrid, the biggest open-air flea market in Spain. It’s a place for yuppies with a Bohemian lifestyle and offers Spanish cuisine like paella, lengua, jamon, callos and salpicao.
Located at Burgos Circle, the restaurant provides free outdoor entertainment—from jazz and classical music to well-loved standards. There’s always something different every night—theater productions, lounge and comedy acts, poetry readings, even impromptu salsa sessions!
It’s Artists’ Night on Mondays, Oysters and Sax on Tuesdays, Way Back on Wednesdays, Theater on Thursdays, OPM and R‘n’B on Fridays, Jazz on Saturdays and Classic Strings on Sundays. Call 5561497.
Bawais Vietnamese Kitchen, located at 79 Katipunan ave., White Plains, Quezon City, also serves mouth-watering dishes. “Bawais” means grandmother in Vietnamese. Call 0917 885-1445.
