Filipino Spanish and Global Cuisines
A tradition of serving world-class Filipino-Spanish and Global cuisines to its discriminating patrons
House Special
When in Manila, local and foreign visitors find us an indispensable stop for an experience of the country’s best features — wonderful food, warm hospitality, and beautiful culture. In the tradition of distinction, our menu is an exciting offering of local heritage cuisine — Paella Ilustrado, Adobong Bagnet with Crab Fat, Callos Madrileña, and the buzz-worthy Sampaguita Ice Cream. Inspired dishes all worthy of the Ilustrado signature. We invite you to taste wonderful flavors and spend time in our idyllic yet humble space.
Catering and Events
When it comes to catering for special occasions, Ilustrado is the first choice of business clients and VIPs. Whether servicing the most private soirées at home or the most spectacular events in a ballroom, we bring with us over 30 years of F&B experience. We are a proud accredited caterer for many event venues in and around Metro Manila.
About Us
In October 1989, husband and wife team Boni and Rose Pimentel launched Ilustrado, the first fine dining restaurant in the Walled City of Intramuros. These “original foodies,” and partners in both life and business, were inspired by the passion for fine dining to open a restaurant where discerning diners could sample both Filipino-Spanish and modern global cuisine of the highest caliber.
