Why Travelers Love Estoria Manila

Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.

4.3 / 5.0(55 reviews)

The place is lovely. The food taste great. I love the baked Bangus. It's a big serving. I came here to try out their beef tapa and caldereta, sadly the tapa isn't available so I opted for baked Bangus. It's really good. You have option in caldereta if your want spicy as they provided chili on top. The fried chicken is big serving too. I booked via eatigo. It would be nice of eatigo updated their menu because the breakfast meals (rice meals) are not included in the discount. The coffee is good. Not too bitter. The service is amazing. The waiter is courteous. I will dine here again to try their other dishes. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently attended an event at Estoria Manila and was genuinely impressed. The place has a cozy but elegant vibe perfect for intimate gatherings or small celebrations. The staff were attentive and very polite, and the food? Super delicious and beautifully plated! I especially loved the kare-kare, pancit, chicken and the desserts. The venue is clean, well-organized, and feels warm and welcoming. You can tell they really care about service and presentation. I’d definitely consider hosting a future event here or coming back for a quiet dinner. Highly recommended if you're looking for a chill yet classy spot in the heart of Manila! 08/03/25. Catch up and fun Estoria over lunch. Housed in the 80s Anex building. Estoria Manila takes inspiration as the Little Intramuros of Ermita. It's high walled facade with arched doors was influenced by the Ermita Church across. GOOD: 1. Top notch service. One of the servers went out to assist with parking outside. Once seated, another server immediately came over with a glass of water and menu. They anticipate their guests needs! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. 2. Paella was generous. Had a whole Crab🦀 on top! Can feed 3 people with another main course on the side. Delicious! 3. Elegant interiors. Appreciated the modern Filipiniana theme throughout.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. COULD BE IMPROVED: 1. A small matter but parking might be an issue for multi car diners. RECOMMENDED!

I was able to visit this nice place. We actually thought that it was a mediocre local cafe, but it turned out to be a fine dining restaurant. Wasn't ready enough when we dined here. The aircon was pretty blasty, I don't really like how cold it was inside. Food was nice, the pasta that we ordered had a lot of servings. Did not expect that, the sisig though was kind of overpriced for its small serving size. The cheesecake has a nice plating, but the taste is okay. Not really my cup of tea. We weren't able to dine again yesterday due to its private event, but I would like to go there some time if I was able to visit Manila again.

I got to know Estoria cause I stayed at the Airo Hotel. They served plated breakfast, which you only have 4 options to choose. It would have been better if they could add more. The service was good I mean it is the best! I also love the music that they played. Estoria is my go to place every time I visit Manila.
