Sky Deck

We reserved online and the response was fast and polite. Pagdating namin, the staff led us straight to our requested table by the glass wall — ang ganda ng view. Service was excellent. They welcomed us, offered water, and were very attentive. We tried the Garlic Blue Marlin, Chicken & Pork Adobo, plus banana and mango shakes. The food was delicious and well-cooked, and the shakes were refreshing. The staff even offered to take photos for us — very thoughtful and friendly. We ended with their warm chocolate cake — rich, warm, and super satisfying. Overall, great experience. Masarap ang food, nice ambiance, and standout service. We'll definitely come back and recommend this place.

Rooftop bar and restaurant at the Bayleaf hotel. Things to note - the starters are big enough to serve as a meal. The mains are for 2-3 people (especially with rice). Great views to the bay or over the city. Part of the seating area is covered but the edge seats (best views) are not under cover. Service was excellent.

A popular eatery on top of the well known Bayleaf hotel. Great views of Intramuros. Popular not just for hotel guests. Service initially great but seemed to fade after we ordered. Lots of options. I recommend the Dynamite rolls and pizzas. I found the two sittings system confusing and ended up ignoring it.

This was a great place to have dinner and cap a fun-filled day of going around Intramuros. The view atop was definitely worth it, with the Manila City Hall, National Museum Complex, and the port area on the horizon. The food and service were also equally superb. The waiting staff were attentive to our needs and pleasant.

Perched on the top floor of The Bayleaf Hotel, the Sky Deck offers stunning panoramic views of the city skyline. While some areas can get quite hot under the sun, these are arguably the best spots to catch the sunset. There’s also a rooftop bar one level higher that adds to the ambiance. Food & Drinks: • Beef Birria Tacos: Served with consommé and nacho chips. The concept was promising, but the meat turned out dry and the sauce was just average. The corn tacos didn’t elevate the dish much. • Shanghai Dynamite Rolls: Deep-fried spicy pork and shrimp rolls with sweet chili and garlic vinegar. Tasted more like minced pork with carrots and peppers in a crispy shell—an okay dish, but not particularly memorable. • Sizzling Bulalo: Featuring tender beef shanks, vegetables, and a bone marrow gravy. Unfortunately, the gravy was overly sweet and heavy, and the vegetables turned limp from continued sizzling. • Bayleaf Bagnet: Their house special crispy pork belly. Nicely crisped but retained a noticeable layer of fat. Served with pinakbet, which had a good mix of vegetables like okra, green beans, and peppers. • Mango Canonigo: A twist on Italian meringue with mango and a rich, sweet sauce. Visually appealing, but far too sweet overall. • Ricotta Cheesecake: A decent dessert—somewhere between a Basque cheesecake and a traditional one. Nothing standout, but pleasant enough. Drinks: • Watermelon juice was watered down. • Strawberry shake looked great but was overly sweet. Also a very limited alcohol selection with no cocktails on offer. Service: Service was slow, and all dishes were served at once, which made the experience feel rushed and less enjoyable. Value: Total bill came to around $85 USD for five people, which included five drinks and seven dishes (including two desserts). Reasonably priced, but the food and service didn’t quite meet expectations.
