Delight yourself and friends in this wonderful resto-bar near the Halls of Justice in Manila. Elvinario's is a hang-out place for lawyers and the ones who work in court. At first glance, one might think that it was ordinary but there is something superb about it that many might not notice, yet still enjoy.
Most resto-bars are air-conditioned, as with this one, but the main difference I noted is that even when the food is cold, it still taste great. That takes a lot of skill to do - and for drinkers - this is something that is sought after.
I had the chance to visit Elvinario's during my daughter's Center for Pop recital.
Note that in the first picture above, the glasses were with Iced Tea.
The stage lighting was surprisingly excellent, the chairs ultra-comfortable, and everyone, no matter where they sat, had a good view of the performance.
The atmosphere is hushed and subdued, and the waiters unobtrusive. The prices are very reasonable and the menu choices are many.
I was informed by the chef that they were going to make some changes in the menu to supply their regular customers with something new. Here are a couple of the dishes that I enjoyed which is a special lumpia with curry sauce that was created for my testing and the wonderful lasagna which was so cheesy and meaty, there was more than enough for me and my daughter to share.
Elvinario's closes rather early compared to the other bars, if I remember correctly, it shuts down at around 1or 2 am. I believe that it would be a great place to go to for happy hour or dinner with a few drinks after.
