aristocrat will forever be my favorite restaurant, not only because of its delicious chicken bbq that is tender and so tasty and the pancit canton, full of assorted toppings of meat and veggies. since i am a pancit lover, their canton is the filipinized version.no chinese flavor after taste. their halo halo is as well excellent ,not too sweet and just right. my husband's favorite is the karekare, the thick sauce of peanut and the very tender meat , melts in the mouth. the very reason , that after each meal we still buy a "take out" order. aristocrat too. was the place, where my husband and I celebrated valentines day way back 2001,just a month after I suffered a stroke. still partially weak, he brought me there, knowing its my favorite place. that was so sweet and worth remembering indeed. cant say anything about the good service, definitely, waiters are always on the rush to satisfy the customers. comfortable ambiance and clean,and yes, even the guard is courteous too.

"If the wedding reception's going to be at the Aristocrat, it will be a date that is going to be hard to pass up!" I remeber telling a friend.

Good food served hot and rich to the taste and a generous serving--it is comparable to your grandmother's homecooked Filipino dishes, offering a similar cozy and never snobbish ambience. I cannot forget the chicken barbeque, kare-kare, lumpiang shanghai and pancit. Even the condiments are delectable! (ladls33@yahoo.com)

In a country where over ninety per cent of the population live below the poverty line, it helps to be both frugal and creative when it comes to food. Nothing illustrates the frugality and creativity of the Filipino better than barbecue. When I was growing up in a not-too-crowded Metro Manila, barbecue meant charcoal-grilled marinated slices of pork or chicken breast, legs or thighs in bamboo skewers. If not home-cooked, they were mostly sold in restaurants that specialized in grilled food. Aristocrat, for instance, already an institution in the Philippine restaurant scene, has been consistently serving great pork and chicken barbecue for decades.

The great thing about this restaurant is its Barbeque--known across the place for its special "java" dipping sauce, grilled chicken or pork, "atsara" or pickled vegetables and of course its famed saffron-colored rice. When we eat there, we always have a table full of this for each person. And for the fair prices, the servings are quite hefty! Yummy!

Other than the Filipino Barbeque Chicken tradition at "Aristocrat's Restaurant" is the fact that the restaurant is actually part of a chain of restaurants in the Metro Manila area which includes the more Spanish and East Asian inspired Filipino fare at "Alex' the III Restaurant." So one dish that you should try no matter which chain you go to is also not a barbeque dish--it's their HONEY CHICKEN! It's a delicious fried chicken with actually very little grease and very tender meat. Mmmm...kids and adults alike love it! I personally really love it as well and think of it as soul food:)

Any Philippine fiesta, particularly in the Tagalog region, is not complete without Kare-Kare, the stew with a rich nutty sauce and served with a variety of vegetables. Aristocrat, the Philippines' most popular restaurant serves a wonderful Kare-kare. I haven't found a sure way of cooking Kare-Kare yet, so this recipe is cheating a little bit. It works though.

In the Philippines, it is not always true that good food means expensive food. Similar to the saying that 'good things come in small packages', delicious food is often accompanied with an equally reasonable price.

When choosing a Filipino restaurant to eat at, the Aristocrat Restaurant is probably going to be among the first places that will come to mind. It’s easy to see why The Aristocrat has endured for decades; their classic favorites like crispy pata and sinigang are unforgettable, and they also serve new dishes that cater to the fickle palates of modern-day Filipino diners.

There was a time when The Aristocrat was a household word for eating out in Manila--so much so that it could justifiably call itself "The Philippines' Most Popular Restaurant." As befits a restaurant that has been synonymous with Filipino food, the decor revolves around a native motif, while the menu brings you the joys of Filipino cooking in such traditional fare as sinigang (sour soup) and crispy pata (deep-fried pig's knuckles).

Without a doubt, The Aristocrat has the best chicken barbecue in Manila. Their marinade is just right. Combining their famous barbecued chicken with java rice and relish will be the best barbecue lunch one can ever have. Te is so convenient to lively bay walk and nearby nightlife. Quality of food is consistent and the menu is extensive. Drinks include beer, juices, soft drinks and mineral water.

MANILA, Philippines—As soon as a foreigner gets inside a cab from the airport, the first thing he’ll ask is where to eat good Filipino food. Top of mind, any cab driver will bring him to the original Aristocrat restaurant on Roxas Boulevard, Malate.

After watching the extraordinary sunset that Manila has been known for, my parents used to take us children on occasional treats to the famous Aristocrat Restaurant to savor its delicious barbecue and fresh lumpia. And after the sumptuous dinner, the clippety-clop of horses trotting as they lazily pulled their calesa would lull me to sleep from exhaustion.

One of the favorite places that my parents would take me and my two sisters after a ride around the Luneta or a visit to the Mehan Gardens was to the Aristocrat Restaurant on Dewey Boulevard [named after Admiral George Dewey who steamed into Manila Bay, fought the Spanish ships during the Spanish American War and emerged victorious].

I personally recommend the boat tarts which are usually filled with meringue, nuts and encased in a buttery short-bread tart and wrapped in colorful see-through paper! Definitely anyone who receives these colorful gifts will definitely love the surprise inside! The chocolate cake is also simple, gooey, chocolately and not-too-sweet--just perfect!

The insatiable craving for Manila's famous Chicken Barbecue sends regular patrons in droves - office employees, professionals, families and visitors from all over, balikbayans and tourists - to any Aristocrat branch nearest them. Aside from its known barbecue specialty, the restaurant has also been serving the best tasting Filipino cuisine for decades. Its core products like Kare-Kare, Chicken Honey, Crispy Pata, Pancit Canton, Dinuguan and Lumpia variety are being served at large in Aristocrat's three company-owned branches. New recipes have been introduced in the menu line to fit the discriminating taste of modern Pinoy diners.

Aristocrat is surprisingly expensive --- for the quality of service, food and ambiance that you get. For dirty tables, fast-food type service and mediocre Filipino food main dishes go for Php150 to Php400 on average. I ended up ordering their famous Boneless BBQ Chicken (with Java sauce, rice and atchara) because by the time we got there their breakfast menu was not being served anymore. Boo.

Bin gets a craving for Aristocrat pork BBQ every two months or thereabouts. A pretty easy guy when it comes to food, when he says that he wants to eat at Aristocrat I know better than to argue with him. Besides, he lets me get my way all the time (almost!). He’d been coming off of a long week that included some landscape renovation that was being done at the side of our house. As a couple, we can be described as “adventurous,” although only in the culinary sense, save for some other areas. But when it comes to Aristocrat, routine’s the deal.
