It’s the time of the year again when no one would deny that “Daddys know best!”. No we are not borrowing this from a popular tagline (joke) but it is really a special day that we celebrate our dear Fathers, the “haligi ng ating tahanan”.
Filipinos love to celebrate and celebrations would always mean food and gatherings. So, we have rounded up some suggestions on where you and your family may celebrate Father’s Day this June 16. Whatever your dad is like, we are quite sure you will find the perfect restaurant for him this Father’s Day here at the SM North Edsa.
Everything listed is brought to us by SM Supermalls and SM North Edsa because ‘they got it all, for you!”
FANTASTIC BAKA
Ground Level, SM North Towers
The “unlimited-lover” dad.
One thing is for sure, ‘unlimited’ is the word that we all understand and most of us certainly jump for joy whenever we hear this. So celebrate and enjoy Fantastic Baka’s unlimited meat, unlimited side dishes, and unlimited drinks starting from only Php 499. All their meats are freshly cut per order and everything is premium which includes belly, skirt, rack, jowl, seasoned bulgogi, and many more. And the best part, they have unlimited milk tea! Imagine to have all these for that price? For sure, not only your dad will enjoy this but all the meat-lovers in the family!
TEPPANYA
Ground Level, SM North Towers
The adventurous dad.
If your Dad is up for Japanese cuisine and some entertainment, then he only deserves the best. Aside from the great Japanese food, your father will surely love the show that the chefs put out before they serve your dish. Expect to pay a good amount since they use only the freshest and premium ingredients coupled with great service plus don’t forget the showmanship. Our suggestion for the steak-loving dad is the Angus Prime Rib Eye, 280 grams of USA prime grade meat.
For the seafood-loving dad, we recommend the Fois Gras Fuji Apple Reduction sauce
Or the Marinated Gindara Alaska with white miso
SICILIAN ROAST
Second Level, SM North Towers
The sophisticated dad.
Ciao! If your dad is a fan of wine and dine, be sure to bring him in this lovely Italian restaurant. It is a little experience in itself as you may check out your pizza while being cooked in their oven or select your own wine in the wine cellar. Their wine cellar offers merlot, moet and the likes that you can pair with their lovely selection of mains, pasta and pizza.
ROBERTO’S
Second Level, SM North Towers
The simple dad.
If your Dad likes casual dining, American-style, then this is the resto for him. He will surely enjoy the little bits and pieces of the medieval times because of their eye-catching decors like iron shields, swords and miniature armor suits. What food to expect? Salad, steaks, burgers, pasta and a wide-range of drinks. Truly a man’s cave but intended also for the family since they have other viands like Chicken fricaise, Beef stroganoff and Pork casserole.
SEAFOOD AND RIBS WAREHOUSE
Second Level, SM North Towers
The sporty, surf-and-turf dad.
Dampa feels? Your dad will not be disappointed with having the best of both the meat and seafood worlds here! They have the ‘paluto’ style where you can select from a wide selection of seafood and meat, then have it cooked the way you want it. We tried their fall-off-the-bone ribs, baked scallops, buttered garlic shrimps and crabs in garlic! Ahhh! Winner!
BAWAI’S VIETNAMESE KITCHEN
Second Level, SM North Towers
The health-concious dad.
Introduce him to the healthy and fresh dishes of the Vietnamese cuisine of Bawais. We suggest their Pho, fresh spring rolls and their Bahn-Mi. Be transported also to Vietnam with thier lovely wall art and interiors you just couldn’t resist adding to your instagram feed.
BLESS LAS PAELLAS
Second Level, SM North Towers
The sentimental dad.
If your dad asks for dishes that are shareable with the fambam, then come here. The old feels when you see our country’s different food influences that are available here. Their specialty are their paella which is good for 4 to 5 persons. But don’t be fooled by their restaurant’s name as they also offer other dishes like Crispy Kare-Kare, Lengua, Munggo, Pinoy Short Ribs Kaldereta, Chorizo Sisig, Steak, Ribs and Pasta but make sure to have that yummy Paella Valenciana!
FLAMINGO BLOOM
Fourth Level, SM North Edsa – The Block
The Millenial Dad.
For sure he will be tickled pink with this international tea shop’s first branch in the Philippines! Taking inspiration from tea shops in Hong Kong, they have an open bar concept so you can see what’s going into your tea, handcrafted premium floral teas. They offer fruit teas and milk teas, And did I mention pink flamingos flocking at this side of the SM North Edsa? An ‘instagrammable’ shop that will make your IG feed totally ‘fed’.
HUI LAU SHAN
Ground Level, SM North Edsa – The Block
The dessert-lover dad.
We are so lucky that our own Philippine mangoes are back from Hong Kong. Fresh mangoes mixed in with different fruits, toppings and sinkers for their refreshments or go gaga over their yummy desserts like mango pudding, mango mochi or their mango pancakes. Dive into their menu of mango creations that any dessert-loving Filipino dad would love.
POUND #
Upper Ground Level, SM North Edsa – Main Building
The Burger-lover dad.
These are the burgers that are really made to impress! Mouth-watering premium burgers and sliders like Foie gras burger, Amsterdam burger, seem fancy but they offer these within reach. You and your dad might also want to indulge in their poutine and fries while enjoying their art-deco style architecture and luxurious interiors. And oh, don’t forget their pretty tasty ‘onion cube’, a little instgram-worthy, yummy side dish.
So, what is your dad like?
These are just some of our suggestions on where you and your family may celebrate Father’s Day this June 16, 2019! It is definitely not about how fancy or expensive the food and place is, what is important is that you make your Father, Dad, Daddy, Old Man, Papa, Tatay, Itay, Tay or whatever is your term of endearment for him, happy and feel special on this day.
As SM North Edsa is close to 1000 ways to shop and dine, we are sure they have a lot of other shops and restaurants where you could bring your dad. And for sure, there would be a lot of promos on this day so better follow SM North edsa’s social media accounts for more information:
