There’s a reason why.
If you booked at any of these restaurants this year, then this list was because of you!
Last April 2015, we introduced a new feature called Booky Prime, which allowed you, our dear users, to conveniently book tables at Manila’s top restaurants for free and avail time-based discounts of up to P500. Moreover, simply “submit feedback” in the app and you can get a free surprise dessert too!
We hope you like the service and if not, tell us how we can improve it by sending feedback to prime@phonebooky.com. See you all in 2017!
