Good kwentuhan sessions go well with good food. But from a fellow tita to another, we both know that it is also best paired with alcohol. That’s why we whipped up a list of sosyal resturants that is perfect for you and your tita friends to keep the kwentuhan sessions going:

3. Grind Bistro

This place offers classic comfort food with a twist. If you’re unsure of what to get, order their scrumptious Grind Burger (P395). Do try to uncover the secret sauce used for this one because no one can seem to figure out why this burger is delectably good. If you’re not in the mood for burgers, then try their Nutty Black Chicken (P595). This main dish will awaken your senses because of the contrasting flavors in every bite. You can make a reservation here.

4. The Brewery at The Palace

If dinner, drinks and dancing is your definition of a night out then this restaurant is the perfect pitstop before heading to The Palace. Intriguing collection of freshly brewed beers and a wide array of drinks will definitely loosen up your nerves. Their cheesy take on the Sisig Pizza (P450) is a must-try as every slice is a melt-in-your mouth experience that will leave you wanting more.

5. iTrulli Fashion Food & Wine

Take a trip to Italy with iTrulli’s impressive Italian wine list and authentic Italian cheeses, prosciutto and cured meats. Delizioso, indeed.

This all-around cocktail bar in Makati is the ideal Tita place. Intimate setting, unique cocktail selections plus Filipino favorite pulutans is enough to make you last until the wee hours of the morning. Go for their classic cocktails as these drinks have already stood the test of time. Maybe with these classic cocktails it’s not too late to believe na may forever, don’t you think? You can make a reservation here.

7. Black Sheep

No alcohol here. To begin your Asian dining experience, start your meal with the Foie Long Gras Xiao Long Bao (P390). This is a different take from your favorite soup dumpling as the xiaoxing broth is combined with foie gras. Still want more? Then order up Sloppy’s Juan Bun (P230). We don’t know who Sloppy is but he sure did a great job of combining ground beef stew with chicken flakes to finish off your starters. You can make a reservation here.

8. The Penthouse 8747

Talk about a major throwback! This restaurant has a 1930s vibe. Think Great Gatsby. Start off your night with a Fitzgerald’s Truffle (P390). This dish is made up of brown button, shiitake and white button mushrooms with fresh pasta bathed in cream sauce. To finish your meal off with drinks, try their crowd favorite called the Henry Gatz (P350). This Penthouse original is a combination of gin, thyme with fresh mango juice that is surprisingly refreshing.
