The Aristocrat, a classic Filipino restaurant that has been serving traditional Filipino dishes since 1936, has earned a spot on TasteAtlas's "150 Most Legendary Restaurants in the World" list. It's the only Filipino restaurant to make the cut. TasteAtlas celebrates these enduring icons of gastronomy, emphasizing their commitment to honest, no-nonsense food. The Aristocrat secured the 108th position on the list, and its popular Lumpiang Shanghai was recognized as the "best in the world" among Filipino restaurants.
The Aristocrat was founded by the late Doña Engracia ("Aling Asiang") Cruz-Reyes and her husband, Justice Alex A. Reyes. Aling Asiang's culinary expertise elevated once humble and unknown Filipino dishes to widespread acclaim, both locally and internationally. Starting as a snack mobile in 1936, the Aristocrat has since expanded into a restaurant enterprise with branches across Metro Manila, all renowned for serving high-quality food.

Rizal Park, also known as Luneta Park, is a historic urban oasis in Ermita, Manila. Covering 58 hectares (140 acres), it features gardens, historical monuments, a 3D map of the Philippines, picnic grounds, a grand stadium, and an open-air concert hall, all dedicated to the national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal.
Hailed as one of the largest urban parks in Asia, Rizal Park, Luneta is one of Manila's iconic destinations as the "birthplace of Philippine nationalism". It is the final resting place of Philippine national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, where one can witness the changing of the guards, and a sacred site for many Filipinos martyred during the Spanish colonial era. Today, it is a favorite place for Filipino families and tourists to gather, learn about Philippine history, culture and heritage through its numerous gardens, plazas, and monuments.
