Restaurants in Quezon City

MŌDAN is the most credentialed restaurant in Quezon City — a personal modern Japanese tasting menu from Chef Jorge Mendez, holding a Michelin Plate (2026) and back-to-back Tatler Best 20 Philippines placements. Located in Cubao, it suits food-focused diners who book with intent. Easy to book relative to its recognition level.

CIBO is a Filipino-founded casual Italian chain ranked 31st in the 50 Top World Artisan Pizza Chains 2025 — a real credential for a relaxed mall-based restaurant in Cubao, Quezon City. The pizza and pasta deliver consistent technical quality above the category average. Book for an easy, food-focused meal; skip it if setting and service are as important to you as what is on the plate.

Palm Grill (Diliman) is a strong Quezon City pick when the brief is recognized value without a difficult reservation. The 2026 Michelin Bib Gourmand signal makes it more credible than a generic Tomas Morato fallback, especially for lunch or a casual weekend meal. Choose it for easy access and group-friendly practicality, not for a formal splurge.

Dampa offers an accessible entry point to Quezon City's <em>dampa</em> dining tradition—buy seafood at the adjacent Farmers Market stalls, then have it grilled, steamed, or fried to order. Execution is straightforward, pricing is fair (PHP 300–500 per head), and the open-air setting is utilitarian. Book for groups seeking a casual, market-fresh seafood experience without the polish of formal dining.

Fong Wei Wu is a practical Quezon City pick for an easy sit-down meal with Michelin Plate recognition, especially when the group values convenience over ceremony. It is better for casual celebrations and family dining than for a highly staged date night or at-home special occasion built around delivery.

Mall-based American wing house inside SM City Fairview, serving shareable buffalo platters and burgers for under ₱500 per head. Casual counter-order format with walk-in seating, quietest weekday afternoons, convenient for shoppers who want predictable comfort food without leaving the complex.
