Ilustrado

Ilustrado (744 General Luna Street, Intramuros, Manila) – this restaurant, housed in a Spanish colonial-style villa, is best known for its breakfast foods (such as ensaymada – a savory brioche, and Spanish hot chocolate). Along with that, the house favorites are Paella Ilustrado, Callos Madrilena, Lengua con setas, and Adobong Bagnet with Prawns and Crab Fat — which keep people coming back. Memorable desserts such as Mango Jubilee with flambé presentation, the award-winning Baked Cheesecake and the most featured unique creation Sampaguita Ice Cream make every visit interesting.

 

Ilustrado has the distinction of hosting visiting heads of state such as King and Queen of Spain, President of Peru, President of Czeckoslovakia, King and Queen of Malaysia, Princess of Thailand, a Miss Universe, performing artists and celebrities, and a cardinal’s silver jubilee celebration with over a thousand guests!
