Pardon My French

On Jupiter Street in Bel-Air, Pardon My French is a resto-bar that works for both dinner and drinks. It's relaxed inside, not a place you have to shout in. Easy walk from the rest of the Jupiter strip.

Cocktails are the main draw, made properly, and prices are fair for Makati. There's a full food menu if you're making a night of it. Music stays in the background.

You get the Jupiter Street regulars, office people after work, couples, small groups catching up. Nobody's dressing up much. Good when you want a drink and a seat, not a dance floor.
