summer themed restaurants Metro Manila

French chef Auguste Escoffier once said, “Good food is the foundation of genuine happiness.” It’s been decades since he passed away, but his words still ring true up until this day. A good meal has the ability to turn any bad situation into a better one and bring together people from different walks of life. If a restaurant offers this very thing, what else can make it more desirable? A running theme, complete from the décor to the food, of course! There’s just something so memorable about a place that cares enough to look the part.

And since the summer season is coming up, what better way to anticipate the hottest months of the year than by dining in summer-themed restaurants in Metro Manila? Read on to know where to find good grub all year long: check out these summer-themed restaurants in Metro Manila!
