Bombvinos Bodega

All entrees that we ordered were extraordinary! Each dish was curated with a unique taste! Very innovative!! It was also my first time trying out "Natural wine", healthier version! They got a great selection of white and red natural wines from different countries. They have chilled ones too if you want to consume it while dining in. I also tried their dirty horchata (not in the photos), which has the perfect sweetness with a caffeine kick! They also make their own rice milk for that! I recommend making a reservation since they only have a cute/tiny cafe/restaurant with mezzanine. The ambiance was great, especially on the 1st floor. Picture perfect with the wine shelf!

The menu is very creative! The team at Bombvinos is generally innovative and full of ideas. Although I didn't try the drinks, I found the food to be good. It's a small place, but it's still a great spot to enjoy with friends. My friends also enjoyed their drinks. Kudos to the team for bringing vibrancy back to that street! ✨🤍

This is my 2nd time at Bombvinos Bodega, and I went with my family this time. Really wanted to come back — it’s just that good. We also got to try their new dessert — the Mangga Crumble Pie — and it was amazing. Such a unique twist on a classic 🩷 Service was also great. Everyone was so friendly and made us feel welcome. Ms. Anika was super helpful and recommended some off-menu dishes. Every single dish was so creative and packed with flavor. You can really tell how much thought and passion goes into their food. Highly recommend visiting (and asking for Ms. Anika and Sir Darwin). I’d go back here again and again — definitely one of my favorite spots now.

Had a wonderful intimate dinner with friends here! The reservation process was smooth and responsive, and the food was full of interesting flavors—everything we ordered was consistently delicious. Cocktails were great too! Service was excellent, with the staff explaining each dish and its preparation. I’m already mentally set on celebrating my birthday here! Didn’t take many photos, but that just means I was too busy enjoying the experience. Parking can be a bit tricky, but there are nearby options. Highly recommend!

I really love the creativity on the Filipino ingredients. Food is definitely bomb. Service is really good, staff is so professional, warm, and thoughtful. This couldve been perfect if the tables are not small. The space can get rowdy and cluttered.

easily one of the best places for me in the area i’d gladly recommend to friends. the vibe along with the music, the food, and the location somewhat away from the rest of the restaurants is perfect. though tbh, i’m not sure if i didn’t get to notice lots of establishments in the area apart from the zone because it was raining the time i went with a friend haha. we initially only wanted to chill for 2 hours but ended up there for 4 hours straight. they have a concentrated food menu, i imagine everything tastes great cause what we already had as it is were very satisfactory: •keso chichirya — i mistakenly read this for chicharon lol, but the potatoes and straciatella cheese combo was good and satisfying •lumpia of banana heart — this is named so specifically hahahah but i appreciate it as i love the veggie used, it comes with vinegar granita and a sweet potato puree •insalada ni cesar — we enjoyed this a lot as we were trying to deconstruct and pin point what makes it so filipino vs the traditional caesar salad hence the name. it’s actually named so cleverly. instead of anchovies, they use dilis in this and a good sauce that somewhat reminded us of buro. •crispy fish sandwich — we added ikura to this, purely optional. it also comes with a side of fried potatoes with a generous sprinkle of seaweed. at the time we ordered, it may just be specifically this batch order (?) but sans the ikura, the fish batter on its own was a bit too salty. it was still good and appreciate that the fish used was firm on the inside coated with the perfect crisp, though when i come back i’m gonna have to try it again just to check. •leche flan soft serve — this tasted more like a good caramel scoop, perfectly creamy with sugar shards and edible flowers. we enjoyed this! •chicken pares — was also good. only got this cause we were served free drinks from bombvinos saturday birthday, as i didn’t wanna run on an empty stomach and drink. it comes with a few pieces of chicken skin, soft boiled egg, pares sauce you can generously drizzle on your plate as you want, and their spicy b! chili garlic and this one does come out with a solid kick! •b!day kalabasa french toast — so since we came through during their celebration, we got this too! it was just the right serving of their soft and good textured toast on a bed of kalabasa puree topped with frozen whip. •but i’m chai — got one of their signature non-alcoholic drinks and from the description on the menu, i was convinced it was gonna be good and it was! tasted smooth with a tea base and reminiscent for me of cherry since they did use singkamas here. •tinto de pacifico — friend ordered this mainly, but was also a good glass of red wine citrusy mix. •bang bang — we also got compli glasses and shots as we were there a while. they really do their drinks well. this one’s their take on the classic weng weng, which brings me back to my college days haha! later on my friend also got bottles of wines to go. the staff were overall helpful with our queries throughout our stay and very knowledgeable about the natural wines they offer as well as pairings to go with it. they would also ask feedback, which i appreciate. we were by the bar, so we also saw lots of interesting drinks being made that i’ll go back for like the caffe martini.

Food: 4/5 Was a bit experimental but tbh not hitting as much. But good exciting new flavors. Wine: 5/5 Perfect. Some of the best selections in Manila. Ambience: 2/5 Was seated at the kitchen. The AC was dripping a little. Will come back?: Yes for the wine Special Mention: Kudos to Emman for being patient with 4 drunk uncle and aunties. lol He should win a Best Service award. One of the best I’ve had in Manila.

This restaurant has been on my list to try, and I finally got the chance! Everything we tried was sooo good (no joke). It’s the perfect spot to catch up with your girlfriends. I’d definitely come back to try more of their food and cocktails!
