"The Aristocrat traces its history as far back as the 1930s and is arguably one of the most beloved restaurants in Metro Manila. The restaurant is known for its sweet barbecue chicken with java rice, as well as the Flying Saucer sandwiches, both invented by matriarch Lola Engracia “Asiang” Cruz Reyes. Savor classic Filipino meals like lumpiang ubod (heart of palm), beef dinuguan (beef blood stew), and pancit canton (stir-fried noodles with vegetables), or stop by for pastries like carrot cake and mamon (chiffon sponge) loaves." - Toni Potenciano
