Miguel & Maria

Lilac Street in Marikina is a whole row of restaurants, and Miguel & Maria is the one you go to when you want a beer with dinner. It's a neighbourhood bar and restaurant, small and easy, nothing loud about it.

Food is Western comfort stuff, burgers, pasta and ribs. The better part is the beer list, local craft like Craftpoint, Katipunan Indio Ale and Pivo Praha. Ask what's cold. They close at 10PM, so it's an early one.

Families having dinner, Marikina locals, and friends catching up over a couple of beers before heading home.
