Agimat has got to be one of the most creative restaurants out there in terms of food, presentation, and interior. It looks like an old ancestral house with a forest inside. Creative, right? The place gets pretty jam-packed on a Friday night with people on their 20s or 30s. Crowd is better than most pubs. What we enjoyed the most during our visit was their DJ! The whole crowd was singing and dancing along with the songs
Food and drinks are very unexpected and one of a kind! My cocktail drink was blue and had a shell on top of it. It’s very delicious as well. We ordered their home made chicharon and popcorn palay which was just okay for me. I think it is too expensive for the dish. It was different but not the most appetizing thing there is. It was also difficult to eat the popcorn palay.
Nonetheless, I would recommend visiting Agimat! I will also come back to try more of their food and cocktails
My experience in Agimat was excellent!
You wouldn't know what to expect in a good way! All the flavors are on point and unique and the serving portions are huge! Worth every penny. Their staff are also very friendly especially their bartenders.
We ordered the octopus for appetizer, duck and bagnet for main course. We ordered two drinks that the bartender recommended and they were very flavourful!
All the ingredients are sourced locally and they change menus every 6 months.
The food is well priced for the freshness and portions that you get.
I recommend you go to the bar when ordering drinks to get the full experience.
My only complaint is they didn't take note of our reservation which we booked weeks prior. So would be best to call 1-2 says before instead.
Visited this place right after Alamat! I felt like I was in Narnia from the vibes the Interior and the drinks! Staff was extra friendly too!
The ingredients are truly special, using local ingredients and delicacies, such as ant eggs and day old chicken. I am a bit biased, but I love tapas food because you get to try a bit of everything, and Agimat wonderfully delivered. The highlight was the balut, there’s no chick inside, so you get to taste it without freaking out haha. It was creamy and with the right amount of salt...

This hidden gem of Makati was quite a welcomed surprised. Nestled off the beaten path of the main roads, Agimat provided a flare and atmosphere that takes diners on a unique dining experience. From the amazing bartenders to the enchanting culinary experience, Agimat is well deserving of 10 stars.
Tried different cocktails and gin. It was great. Nice place, the decoration is fantastic...
One of my favorite bars in Metro Manila. I love the ambiance, the service, and the drinks! There's even one cool cocktail where they perform a ritual first before serving it to you. During Saturdays, they also have a special price for their cocktails (Php 200). Sweet deal.
One of my favorite discoveries for 2019. It is quaint hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Poblacion serving amazing food with creative cocktails to boot.
Review as of July 2019
Agimat is great for guests visiting the Philippines. The restaurant has on offer, experiential and playful Filipino food complete with quirky Rituals and presentation. Each dish and drink is quite unique and worth at least one visit
Good food and interesting cocktails! My favorite was definitely the unique presentation of the chicharon and balut. It was also very delicious.
