The Top 100 Places to Eat Near Helm


  1. Rank 2. Offbeat

    Filipino



  2. Rank 4. Kása Palma

    Contemporary Filipino


  3. Rank 5. Taquería Franco

    French-inflected Mexican


  4. Rank 6. Hapag

    Modern Filipino


  5. A small-format pizzeria in Salcedo Village where the menu runs through several distinct dough styles at once, because committing to just one felt like leaving options on the table. The team behind it includes a dough obsessive, a wine-by-the-glass obsessive, and a chef shaped by years in Japanese kitchens, which explains the range. Ranked fifth in Asia-Pacific and 28th on 50 Top Pizza World, if you need the shorthand.



  6. Rank 9. Pablo

    Spanish




  7. Rank 12. Spices

    Southeast Asian Indian



  8. Rank 14. Goxo

  13. Rank 34. Fresca Trattoria

    Contemporary Italian


  14. Rank 35. Cirkulo

    Spanish


  15. A 20-seat contemporary tasting menu restaurant in Legazpi Village where the kitchen runs on a zero-waste, plant-forward philosophy without ever feeling preachy about it. The menu shifts constantly, pulling from local produce and whatever the chefs are currently obsessed with. Minimalist room, focused cooking, the kind of dinner where you eat things you couldn't have predicted ordering. The Michelin Guide has it on their radar.

  42. Rank 99. a mano

    Neapolitan Pizza

    The name means "by hand," and the pizza here takes that literally, a contemporary Neapolitan style with a pronounced, well-leavened crust that stays light enough to eat without regret. It sits in a mall food hall, which sounds like a setup for disappointment, but a spot on 50 Top Pizza's Asia-Pacific and World lists tends to complicate that assumption. Pasta and risotto round out the menu, all at prices that won't require a quiet moment alone afterward.
