Café Adriatico
Manila, Philippines
The read// why locals go
Cafe Adriatico opened on Remedios Street in 1979 and helped make Malate the artistic quarter of Manila. The cafe side of the operation matters as much as the food: coffee, long conversations, and a room that has hosted writers, painters and the city's late-night intelligentsia for decades. The kitchen serves Filipino cooking with the Spanish inflection that runs through Manila's older restaurants, and mains sit around PHP 350. There is seating outside facing the Remedios Circle area, which is where the evening tends to end up. It has outlasted almost everything that grew up around it.
