The Restaurant Nobody wants You to Know About
I first heard of this place years ago from Televisionista Daphne Osena Paez, who called it the "little secret she never wanted anyone to know" for fear that it might get packed with the culinary hoi poloi. Well, the secret is out. Tucked away in a corner of Tomas Morato in Quezon City, Uno is undeniably the classiest alternative to all the frantic family fare readily available in the neighborhood. It's chef-slash-owner Mari Relucio is one of Manila's most underrated culinary figures and she has a well balanced menu that changes every few months and special which changes daily. The decor is unfussy, the lighting incandescent, and the specials are recited to you by a smartly dressed English speaking staff. Order the lamb; it's heaven on a bone and a fantastic take home treat for the house dog. The soups and pasta dishes are all safe bets, but their cheesecake is exceptional. Their prices are also beyond reasonable. The Creme Brulee is a steal at Php30.00. Parking available along Scout Fuentebella.

Well hello hello hello, Carlos. Good to know you liked it at Uno! Patrick and I have been going there regularly for over 8 years now! I hosted a surprise dinner for Patrick's birthday a few weeks ago. The upstairs is perfect for dinner parties. There are no extra fees. Just pay for what you order, and they set up the place very nicely. Roast Batangas beef is superb! Also try Mari's fish -- halibut and cod -- always excellent.
Hi, Carlos! We went here last Monday and you're right, the lamb is superb! And you're right, the staff speak english! Thanks for the reco. :)
I went there years ago when I was still living in the Philippines. can't believe that place didn't get any attention since then.
It has. But the fanfare has been low. I think they enjoy being a cult classic.
is this all you can eat restaurant I heard from my mate...how much does it cost per person?? coz i never been in this resto thanks all!!
Actually its ala carte.
:o)
Unless things have changed. Give them a call.
I'm a fan of Carlos Celdran tours and it is so amazing that you tour people at the most important historical sights in the city Manila.
But this restraurant. Is it expensive?
Not at all for the quality you are getting.
Its very reasonable.
They do have stuff on the menu in the 200s and 300s if I remember correctly.
