Dine here multiple times. Good for employees who wants to chill after shift. AMBIANCE 💯 5/5 Service is Good 4/5 Value for money 5/5 FOOD 3/5
First, the place is very clean. I really like the ambiance. For the food, they serve Filipino touched dishes. Well, the serving is a little bit small for the price, but you can see the quality of ingredients and the preparation. Overall, we enjoyed our experience here when we had our department lunch out. You can feel the authenticity of Filipino taste with a touch of modernity.

Petra & Pilar sounds like an old Pinoy movie, and it really brings back memories of childhood movies featuring Aiza Seguerra or Maricel Soriano. As of this time, I still don't know if there is such a movie titled Petra & Pilar. Hahaha
But from the name of the resto, you already have a feel that it's gonna be Filipino food through and through. And what's more Filipino than a boodle feast!?
Sampled some of this boodle feast haven featuring Petra & Pilar's 3 Barkada Boodles.
Salu-salo (P999)
- Pancit Bihon, Kropek, Salpicao Chicken Wings, Inihaw na Liempo, Itlog Na Maalat with Kamatis, Bagoong Rice, Ensaladang Mangga with Bagoong, Spicy Tahong, Buko Pandan
Notable dishes for me here are the spicy tahong (very appetizing!), inihaw na liempo (really crunchy!), and the chicken wings.
Fiesta (P999)
- Pancit Habhab, Kropek, Chicken Pork Adobo, Pandan or Garlic Rice, Pineapple, Tomato and Aligue Salad with Bagoong, Itlog na Maalat with Kamatis, Saging Con Yelo
I enjoyed the Pancit habhab and its flavors, as aell as the saging con yelo for my dessert.
Blow-out (P999)
- Pancit Canton, Fried Calamari, Breaded Pork Chop, Chicken Inasal, Aligue Rice, Itlog na Maalat with Kamatis, Ensaladang Talong with Bagoong, Fresh Fruits
I love the fried calamari and the Chicken Inasal with the aligue rice. Plus, who can say no to fresh mangoes and watermelon?!
I'd say the P999 price point is a steal! You get all those items for just less than 1k, and it's good to feed at leat 4 to 5 people already. Great for pick-ups for the office too!
This place has such a catchy name. I was able to try their boodle sets, where they place banana leaves on your table and you can eat by hand. Food is served family style.
I really did like the food. My favorite would have to be the clams that had a coconut sauce. That was sooo good.
Their cocktails I didn’t really like. Just get a beer here.
Are you ready for some boodle fight? This is what Petra & Pilar currently offers and it’s just so exciting as we, Filipinos love this type of food. The come-together, fiesta feel and the overflowing food is what I’m saying. Petra & Pilar is a restaurant/bar in Urban Avenue, Makati. The bar area has a tropical vibe complete with coconut woods. It’s big enough to sit up to 100 persons. There’s al fresco area in here, too.
We all know that food brings people together. And a few weeks ago, we were invited to a get-together with some foodie friends at Makati’s Petra & Pilar. But this was no ordinary meet up. As soon as I stepped in Petra & Pilar, I was immediately greeted by friends sitting on two (2) long tables brimming with food, food, and more food. Only did I realize, this restaurant is not your ordinary run-of-the-mill Filipino-themed restaurant. We were up for a FIESTA— a Boozy Boodle Fight at Petra & Pilar! Complete with refreshing home-concocted cocktails and acoustic entertainment. Here’s what you missed!

🍉Salu–Salo Boodle - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5

🍉Blowout Boodle - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
Pancit Canton, Fried Calamari, Breaded Porkchop, Chicken Inasal, Kropek, Crab Fat Rice, Ensaladang Talong with Bagoong, and Fresh Fruit.
So many food, that’s the words I will say when they presented the boodle to all of us. It’s really good when you eat with your family members and friends. And the boodle menu taste great. It’s appetizing and delicious.
Aside from the boodle they also launches Pinoy Summer Cocktails:
🍸Gin Cala - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
Gin and house made spicy Ginger syrup
🍸Coco Loco - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
Vodka with House made Coconut and Lemongrass Syrup
🍸Manila Sunshine - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
Lambanog Base with Fresh Pineapple and Mango
🍸Binibining Paloma - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
Fresh Pomelo, Tequila and house made Bay Leaf Syrup
Everyone’s favorite was the Coco Loco but I preferred the Gin Cala. I like the strong alcohol content of my drink until it will be dissolved or diluted via ice. It will balance the flavor after.
Overall, it was a good and fun night. We have a nice and sumptuous dinner (Boodle) paired with Pinoy Summer Cocktails while the band serenade us. The staff provided excellent service too.

It was my first ever boodle fight at Petra and Pilar! It’s a filipino banquet where A LOT of food is laid out on banana leaves, and you use your hands to eat. I don’t really know why it’s called “boodle”, but maybe it’s because “boodle” means “a lot”, though usually referring to money. My friends also had to teach me how to eat the Aligue Rice with my hands. I ended up rolling it between my palms like an onigiri. It was a fun experience just grabbing food left and right. My favorite has to be the juicy Porchetta Ham with the lechon sarsa! I love the sweet liver gravy! The Bangus Relleno was also good. I grew to love meatloaf in my youth maybe because of the raisins. A bangus relleno is basically a fish loaf! The creamy Buko Pandan takes it home!
Petra & Pilar Restaurant re-opened last October 2016 at the ground floor, JAKA Center Building, Urban Avenue corner Pasong Tamo, Makati City. Open Monday through Friday at 7am to midnight. This previously high-end carinderia is now a move welcoming place to hangout to enjoy good food and a fully stocked bar of draft beer and signature cocktails like P+P vs GT (Petra's version of the classic Gin&Tonic).
I find the ambiance in Petra & Pilar very relaxing - my friends and I always go here when one of us is going through a rough day. I keep coming back for their tapsilog (actually, this is the only meal I order, but i am planning to try out more dishes)
I've been to Petra & Pilar several times. Beer is cheap and food is great value for what you get. The sisig was top notch!
It's a pretty big place and there are several tvs to watch football. It is only one of the few places that serve Strongbow in Makati!
Love the minimalist interior I do have a perchant for black, it exudes elegance in my opinion. Went to this place for late lunch and most of the dining area is completely free.
Food is quite ok and reasonably priced. Tusok tusok is best paired with a bottle of beer or maybe two :P. Managed to try margherite pizza and it did not disappoint as well as their tofu sisig. I don't mind going back to try some of their dishes.
Not as crowded as other drinking places I frequent on a Thursday night. Beers go as cheap as P50 (Pale) so this is probably somewhere we'll go back to again. Didn't have the chance to try any food but the table next to us ordered pork sisig which looked good and only earned various statements of delight.
Petra & Pilar is for people who would like to take a drink at noon, sports (because they were playing different games on multiple screens) and their Bar looked really sleek but I'm not much of a drinker and it was 10 in the morning lol. Staff was accomodating and the ambiance was real cool. Plus they have the greatest Tapsilog I've ever tasted!! I couldnt forget how it tastes. Worth the price and worth the time staying there.
The place is more intended for after-work happy hours. They have limited options in their menu and some of the dishes all the time.
We're usually here for breakfast and it's always packed. Hence, the serving time is not as quick but their staff make up for it.
I also like that their food prices are reasonable, food portions is good and presentation is nice.
Food here is okay. I love the place. It's a nice place to hang out with friends. The food and drinks are affordable. I'll definitely go back.
Great place to hang out on a Friday night for good food and drinks. Prices are just right for the servings. What to try? I recommend their Kare-kare, meat's so tender, comes right off the bone. One of the best in the metro! Will definitely come back here for that. Another Amaretto Sour please! 😃
Food is really delicious. I ordered Iberean Chicken and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Serving is also decent. Plus the ambiance is superb! Just like a sportsbar. :)
Great place to unwind whether you're alone, with family or barkada. Food taste so good and very affordable!
Tried Ham & Cheese Pizza, it's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me.
Chicken BBQ Wings it's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
Cucumber Lemonade, it's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
This place is becoming our Friday post-work habit to kill the horrendous Makati-Friday Traffic.
It's a very spacious bar & restaurant that serves good comfort food at affordable prices. This place is a literal bang for the buck if you are looking for good food for less, and the twists they incorporate with Filipino favorites are something to try.
They also have live acoustic music every so often and the place gets packed usually from 6-10pm.
They're Crispy Calderata and Crispy Binagoongan are definite must-tries and their Sizzling Bulalo is also awesome! Above all, the staff are very accommodating and friendly, though do expect some waiting time when the place is full.
Large and spacious watering hole at the corner of Buendia and Pasong Tamo. Large smoking area outside too.
Crowded with patrons on the Friday evening we went.
Tried quite a few of their cocktails which were just ok. Finally I asked the bartender to make me a mojito with Don Papa rum. We really enjoyed that drink.
Only food we tried was Sizzling Tofu which was ok.
Service is friendly and attentive.
