Harbor View Restaurant in Manila Philippines

Harbor View Restaurant in Manila is one of the floating restaurants in Manila Bay. It's actually attached to the jetty. It's located at the South Gate of Rizal Park, close to the Grand Stand and between US Embassy and Manila Hotel.

I love this place especially at night where it gets really romantic with music and lights. At daytime, the view of Manila Bay is breathtaking. Aside from good food, the breeze and the ambiance made it more relaxing and enjoyable to eat.

After Daryl and I tour the whole Luneta Park, we decided to have dinner at Harbor View. I actually wanted him to taste a Filipino delicacy that they serve. It's called kare-kare. It's like a meat stew with vegetables cooked in peanut sauce. It's not spicy like Thailand's peanut sauce. It's actually a little bland and best eaten with shrimp paste and hot rice. Shrimp paste or bagoong is salty.

The restaurant serves fresh seafood. You can choose them from the aquarium and have it cooked. They also serve fruit juices.

One interesting attraction in the restaurant is the Hall of Fame. It's where you'll find the pictures of local and foreign celebrities and politicians who have visited the restaurant.

Too bad they don't have a copy of mine!
