Cirkulo Restaurant Milky Way Building 900 Arnaiz Avenue, corner of Paseo de Roxas Street Makati, Metro Manila Tel: +632 810 8735, 2763 www.elcirkulo.com

Since it opened in 1995, Cirkulo has evolved from a sort-of tapas bar to a stylish restaurant serving familiar Spanish classics like paella negra and other original creations such as its slow-roasted US beef belly. Helmed by chef Jay Gamboa and his sister Malu, who runs the restaurant’s operations, Cirkulo is well-loved by many who swear that their homemade ice creams are a must-try.
