Puzzles is not your typical board game lounge. Aside from a wide selection of games for you to play, they also offer hearty comfort food and drinks. It’s for friends and families looking for a fun, interactive way to dine out. It’s not for solo diners or for groups that have little time to spare. We recommend the Buffalo Chicken Tenders, Mushroom Rice with Bacon & Egg, and their famous Oreo Afraid of the Dark dessert. Our insider tip: Can’t decide which board game to play? Check their menu for their top 10 games or consult with any of their game masters!

Just like the name suggests, at Magnum Opus Fine Coffees you can experience a masterpiece in each cup. Serving you the finest grinds we’ve all bean wanting, it’s for anyone down for a cup of coffee and conversation at a quaint but cool space featuring a balcony overlooking Aguirre. It’s not for big groups (more than 10). We recommend their Hand-Brewed Single-Origin Coffee, Chilled Heartbreaker, and their Monte Cristo.

Located in what is known as Artists Haven (across all-time fave and alternative cheap date idea Atoy’s Porkchop), Artists Cafe is Cynthia Jamlang’s Gallery-Home. With her brick exteriors and intent to blend quietly with the surroundings, her space serves as an artist’s gallery and cafe that draws attention with its natural beauty. It’s for those who enjoy a little culture and a lot of art infused in their date. It’s not for those who just want a meal. Tsk tsk.

Kessaku is a casual restaurant serving a full range of authentic, top-quality Japanese food. True to their name, the word “kessaku” (pronounced kessah-koo, accent on the ‘koo’) translates to “creating masterpieces“. Their no-frills menu includes everything from sushi boats to tempura, wagyu cubes, and more. It’s for satisfying those never ending Japanese cravings. It’s not for those adventurous eaters looking for modern or fusion eats. We recommend the Chirashi Moriawase, Kessaku Sushi Boat, and the Angus Prime Chahan. Our insider tip: Enjoy their Classic Margarita, Lychee Martini, and Classic Mojito with their Extended Happy Hour! (P65/drink, 5-8pm Fridays-Sundays)

La Chinesca is an authentic taqueria which began as a pop-up concept by Chef Bruce Ricketts of Sensei Sushi, Mecha Uma, and Ooma. It’s for taco fans looking to have the real deal when it comes to Mexican food, complete with the hole-in-the-wall dining experience. It’s not for people unwilling to brave the traffic. We recommend the Tripitas (beef intestines) and the Guisada de Res (beef shoulder and lengua). Our insider tip: Check out their off-menu specials!

Vikings is the absolute best buffet experience in the country, featuring a cornucopia of flavors that can’t be found anywhere else. Vikings features several food stations including the appetizer and salad station, the Asian, Western and Mediterranean stations and the dessert station. It’s for a hungry camper down for the long haul in an ambient buffet setting. It’s not for the light of heart or stomach. Our insider tip: watch out for new and seasonal dessert treats.
