I had the Fajita Moderna. At first I thought it looked a little sparse because of the large bowl-like plate. Then I took a bite of the meat and it was just perfect. Then I noticed that the dish was arranged in a kind of sequence so you could have different combinations of the little side condiments that came with it. The plate was large so you can move stuff around and combine to your liking. Each bite was a wonderful treat. I was satisfied and full by the time I finished. It wasn't sparse at all. At the end, I was scraping up the juices just to get myself an echo of the flavors I got to experience. I didn't think I would get something like that for the price. Definitely going back to work my way through the menu.

Masarap dito, pero nakakainis kasi malapit lang siya sa Uniqlo, tapos napapabili ako ng mga bagay na hindi ko kailangan. Gusto ko mag-birthday party dito sa Alegria, actually. Parang masaya.

TRY THE TACOS! THEY'RE FREAKING MAGICAL!
PRICE IS JUST RIGHT FOR THE QUALITY OF THE FOOD, THE DRINKS AND EVEN THE DESSERT! ❤️
IN CASE YOU VISIT AND IT'S STILL AVAILABLE, ASK FOR THE CEREAL PRAWN TACO! 🦐

My friends and I had a quick lunch break there together. We ordered coxinha and salchipapas as appetizers which we totally enjoyed eating. Then, we had carnitas and pollo anticucho. As a a girl with big appetite, I really thought that our orders won’t make me full and might order desserts after but goodness! It was really filling. The carnitas is superb! 👍🏻

If you're big on latin american cuisine, then this place is for you. Food was great, really good fusion of flavors, with that right hint of smokiness, spiciness, and subtle sweetness that you look for in the cuisine. We ordered the Feijoada, Fricasé de Pollo, Coxinha, and a few of their soft shell tacos, the Barbacoa and Koreana, which are a must try! Price was on the higher end, but within reason for a restaurant in bgc. Serving size was okay, but i would personally prefer larger servings. Overall, pretty good bar and resto. Try their Sangria if you can as well!

[2019-Sep-26] If you did not check Googlemaps or Zomato to help you locate the place and will just rely on finding a signage for the restaurant, it will not be an easy task. I am still puzzled why in this day and age when finding a place (specially if located in urban area) is basically in anyone’s hands (well, those with smartphones and data access), some still get lost simply due to not using what is available.

Alegria : Happiness in the Modern

Amidst the chaotic world we are all living in, the daily struggles and surviving moments of our lives, we deserve to be happy once more.

Here at ALEGRIA COZINHA MODERNA AND SANGRIA BAR, I found the the happiness that a modern kitchen brings.

And here are the 3 Things I loved about this place:

1. The SANGRIA and cocktails

2. The STEAK

3. The humungous COLORFUL MURAL

Below are the list of what we had:

1. The SANGRIA and cocktails:

BASIC WHITE SANGRIA – the light and citrus taste is so refreshing, not too much alcohol in it though.

BASIC RED SANGRIA – what I love about this drink is that it has real ripe mango slices and cherry as toppings which adds sweetness to the drink.

VERDE – is one of the new cocktails on the list, it has cucumber and kiwi in it and is really a very light and refreshing drink, perfect for any food.

LITCHI – lychee infused clear cocktail with a very inviting look from the blueish flower.

2. Must try foods on the menu:

PESCADO – composed of Fish, Pasilla Relish, Charred Pineapple and Corn, Red Cabbage laid on Tortilla Frijol; an interesting fusion of flavors and something new to my taste buds, its savory and also sweet at the same time.

AGUA CHILE DE INFLADITA – composed of Shrimp, Chile Water, Charred Pineapple and Corn, Cilantro Chutney in Inflated Tortilla; this appetizer will surely make you ask for more. The distinct taste of the cilantro chutney made this dish more exciting and appetizing.

FEIJOADA – Grilled Bacon Gordita, Black Bean Stew, Farofa, Edamame, Calabresa Sausage, with Burnt Oranges and Smoked Grapes. Another interesting dish that you should try.

FRICASÈ DE POLLO – Braised Chicken with Sofrito, Morita, Hoja Aguacate, Potatoes, Cilantro and Arroz. This well cooked chicken is so tender and flavorful, can’t resist having some more.

CARNE DEL GAUCHO – 500G USDA Prime Grade Rib Eye Steak served with Corn and Zucchini Asada, Garlic Confi, Chimichurri and Pasilla Barbecue Sauce. My FAVORITE! Tender meat, marbling fats that melts in your mouth, ooooohhhh I can eat this all day.

CAYO – St. Louis Avocado Ice Cream, with Cajeta Cona, Muscovado Crumble, Kiwi and caramel sauce. This ice cream combination is something to look forward everytime you’ll come back, I like that the ice cream itself is not too sweet and sugary.

3. The HUMUNGOUS MURAL depicting a festive, happy, beautiful and colorful painting of a woman.

So after work anytime of the week, visit this place and have some happiness in their modern and innovative foods and drinks.

Aside from that, enjoy the Latin American feels through their music and calm ambiance.

Also, do not forget their ALEGRIA HOUR!Alegria “Happy” Hour

Thank you to Denise and Chef for accommodating us and of course Thank you Mommy Ojie for this wonderful experience.

Great ambience for a drink with friends. I loved their tacos!! Try the Japonesa and Alma koreana! Would come back again to try their other signature drinks!

Describe your happy place: Is it a place where you can sit back and relax after a busy workday? Is it a place where you can comfortably hang out with friends and catch up over good food and drinks? Is it a place where you can be adventurous and explore the tastes of new and exotic cuisines?

Well, Alegria Cozinha Moderna & Sangria Bar could just be your new happy place.

The Beanie Review

What we had:
Japonesa tacos
Maracuja Sangria
Chuletas de Porco
Pollo Peruano

What I loved:
Ahh, everything that came to our table tasted as good as it looked. I love peruvian chicken and if it’s in the menu, there is no way i’m not getting it. Their version of it was great and I loved how the chimichurri mixed with the yellow rice and the corn. The small taco I got was also really good too, had a lot of unique and interesting flavors that mixed really well. We went here mainly to try their food out but the sangria I had made me want to go back for their bar as well! Such a gem. Next time I find myself in BGC again, this surely is the place to come back to.

Always a nice place to hang out. Food’s good.

They serve the best tacos and have the best service!! Personal favorite would be Alma Koreana!!! 👌🏼

It is really a bar on most nights with people drinking all night. However, you will be surprised that their food is quite great too! Great value for money.

FOOD: 4.5/5
La Fideo is by far my favorite dish from Alegria and I'd definitely say that it is a must-try! The pasta sauce is really something, I tell ya!

For the Sangrias, I've tried the Verde and the Tinto de Verano and it is quite good, though one serving would be quite "bitin". I brought a friend of mine who just came from Madrid and she was impressed with her food: She had Arroz con Mariscos and a glass of Tinto.

AMBIANCE: 4/5
The overall mood evokes a Friday date night vibe. I personally like that it is quite dimly-lit with warm lights. Perfect for long conversations with friends over sangrias! Stay up 'til late and the place eventually changes into a chill party scene with a live DJ playing in the al fresco area.

SERVICE: 4/5
Service is good. And yeah, we love how they minimize plastic usage by providing bamboo straws instead of paper ones, which usually is the case for most restaurants trying to go green. Other restos should take down notes, please. Props to Alegria for this! :)

There are a lot of hangout places in BGC but if you’re looking for a restaurant that’s less crowded but still has the vibe of a good chill party, check out Alegria Cozinha Moderna & Sangria Bar. Alegria is sort of a hole-in-the-wall, kinda like a speakeasy restaurant-slash-bar in the city. I say this because the place is located at the third floor of the Uniqlo building in BGC, which makes it very unique already (pun intended, although there’s an elevator at the side of the building but that’s less exciting lol).

Mica Sibayan

Their tacos are really good especially the Alma Koreana and the Japonesa 👌

Go on Taco Tuesdays!

100php per taco then pair it with zomato gold to get 2 on 2 drinks 👌

RussWorthyPH

I didn’t know that this place on the same building where a famous clothing line was, until my friend brought me here for a chill-numan night.

We both never had dinner yet so we ordered for some food aside from trying out their Sangria. I went for the La Fideo! while my friend fot the Ceviche.

La Fideo consists of Jalapeno Aglio Olio, Pollo Lima, Chimichurri, Cherry tomatoes, and topped with Kesong Puti. The plating may look like it’s small but it was filling, at least for me. The chicken was savory and a little spicy which I kinda liked.

Ceviche was pretty good too. It’s been a while since I had something like this.

Sangria was good too. Kinda sweet but still perfect to cap the night!

Tobiel St. John

Delicious and good sangria and cocktails. Good place for big groups. Sulit malasing if you have Zomato Gold. Lol take the corner table outside for a nice view of BGC skyline. 👌🏼

Wonhee Cho

Beautifully crafted ambiance. May come out a bit pricey (esp for their food). Their sangrias are really good—white/red/rose...all good! And, I think service can be improved. But overall, a good experience.

Hyo Jeong Jo

Loved the ambience and their playlist! ♡ If you're looking for a chill spot to drink in bgc I would recommend this place. The staff were attentive and friendly and their drinks can last you the night. Tried their Caipirinha and it was strong like drinking a shot per sip. ⭐ This could be our new favorite hang out. 💗

Jan 27, 2019

Claudine Faylogna

Alegria is a nice chill-out place because even though they're already full house, the place is still not crowded. They have a wide selection of drinks and food to share, and there's this one waiter, I think his name's RJ, who we really commend because of the rapport he had built with us. Though food and drinks are a bit pricey, it's worth the shot for the relaxed nook for after-shift wine nights.

Plus! If you're a Zomato Gold member, you can avail your 2+2 on solo drinks! And there's no limit as to how many members can avail it on one table.

Jan 25, 2019

Fawiem

First off, I love the location. It’s in the middle of BGC, but away from the noise and crowd. I don’t remember anymore what we ordered (went several weeks back), but everything was good and even my friend’s kids enjoyed eating. And yes, the sangrias are love! The rosé sangria was a personal favorite. Will definitely go back. 😊👍🏼

Justin Morales

Drinks are worth it for Zomato Gold members
Nice waiters and excellent service
Corn appetizer is surprisingly good
I frequent the place so I highly recommend it for BGC folks

Rinah Canilao

Food is good. Don’t miss their ELOTES. It’s the bomb! However, their mojito by the pitcher is kinda underwhelming.

The service is good, too. Would definitely go back here 😊

Jasmine Mae Lorenzana Abrenica

Been going here for almost a year and so far haven’t been disappointed with service, food, and drinks yet! Perfect place for dates, drinks with friends, celebrations, and whatnot!

The last time I was here, I was with a good friend if mine. It was my first time to try the Verde sangria, which is a refreshing drink. My personal fave is the Maracuja because of the frothy and citrus-y aftertaste.

Give it a go! The sangrias are worth it esp on Zomato Gold’s buy 2 get 2 promo.

Mikee Maralit

One of my favorite hangouts in BGC!

Their drinks are of perfect blends (SANGRIA HEAVEN). And their food flavors go well with their drinks; moreover, I have always enjoyed their food with its unique flavors and instagram-worthy presentations.

I think they could improve on some points though:
- Choice/mix of music (visited 4x already but was not impressed with the music; kinda kills the vibe that they are going for)
- Bigger serving of food to improve value for money

Food: 5 - was sooo good! I ordered the Grilled Tiger Prawns and it’s just packed with flavors. I was literally having foodgasm. The rice - heavenly! And corn was amazing too! My friend had the steak and he loved everything on his plate as well.

Ambience: 4

Staff: 5 - they were very attentive and was able to do me a favor for my friend’s birthday. They made an effort to put a candle on our dessert for him to make his wish. The only issue I had was with the billing. We had a total of 8 glasses of Rose Wine. I guess there was a miscommunication and I was led to believe we were getting 4+4. I know this shouldn’t be the case as Zomato Gold is only offering 2+2. I asked many times if it’s really 4+4, confirmed it multiple times to make sure we won’t have additional charges. Unfortunately, we ended up paying for the +2 that the waitress said was part of the promo. This could’ve been confirmed with the manager. I completely thought they were making promo exceptions that’s why she offered us a 4+4. Nonetheless, I appreciate all the efforts she did for us. She’s really very accommodating.

One of the best places in BGC that I’d always come back to. You can never go wrong with their tacos and cocktails; from presentation to the taste! 👍🏻

Khat De Guzman

We had a really great time here! The sangrias were great (even made better with Zomato Gold), and the food was scrumptious! Will definitely come back in the near future.

Pia Ellaine Derez

Best place for our post-shift drinks which happens everyday! Lol. They have the best-tasting cocktails, and the nicest crew in the world! ❤️

Joseph Raul Umali III

I literally have gone here every week for a month because of 99 peso taco every Tuesday. I usually get Koreana and Japones tacos.

Lunch menu is also reasonably-priced and boy they got hefty serving! I would also recommend the sangria carafe for after-work drinks. Perfect for two people!

Dec 11, 2018

Jesse Lui

I was surprised by how our dishes tasted. They were definitely delicious!

We had the Alma Korean taco. I’m not a fan of tacos, but this was an exception. I even considered ordering a second. The prawn was fresh and the squid ink batter was truly crunchy and flavorful. The aioli was a perfect compliment for the batter. This was just amazing!

My friend had Steak Misono. It was cooked very perfectly at medium. The quality of beef was topnotch. It was tender and tasty all throughout. Yummy!

I had the Pollo Peruano. While the chicken serving for me was a bit small, the dish was still a star! The chicken was juicy and tasty. I can taste the Mexican spices oozing out from the flavor of the meat. The rice also complimented the dish well.

This is a great place also for dates as they also have a few drinks. Ambiance is also nice.

Kristine Marielle Felizardo

I love this place. It's a bit hidden but thanks to my friend, I learned about this. Although their pricing is a bit expensive, I think you get what you pay for. Aside from the delicious food, their plating is gorgeous. I tried one of their sangria, Litchi, and I love it! It's just a light and refreshing drink. Will definitely go back here.

Dec 04, 2018

Rebecca Melendres

Will definitely go back! Went here with my best friend and ended up sitting by the bar since all other tables have been reserved or taken. I asked the bartenders for what they would recommend, and they asked me back for what I would prefer for that night (red or white wine, heavy meal or pica pica). They listened and didn’t automatically suggest the most expensive choice in the menu (unlike other restos) which gives them plus points from me.

I also looooved their cocktails and appetizers. I ordered the Anticucho, which is their pork and chicken skewers with chimichurri and hummus-super good!
For the cocktails I got Litchi and Maracuja (this one comes in a tiki glass!)

I give them 4 stars since I think my super nice experience is from the fact that we were directly facing their bartenders. I’m not sure if the experience would be the same if we were a bigger group. Food and drinks are worth the price.

EJ Lorbes

I think my favorite part about this place is how they plate their food. It’s really a work of art. Their food tastes really good, heavy on the pocket but I’d say it’s worth it. It’s not the place you’d be eating everyday but when you’re with your friends and need a place to drink or eat good quality food, this is your place.

Oct 31, 2018

Mei Moran

The La Quica sangria was really REALLY good. It was my favorite of the night! My next favorite was Litchi. And what comes last would be the Amora.

In terms of food, their soft taco was just okay. I’ve had better tacos elsewhere. The steak misono was just okay, but the rice that comes with it was good. The salchipapas were just okay as well.

The ambiance was great! I loved that it’s on the 4F and so somehow gives you the feeling of “overlooking the city”. The crowd was good on a Friday night. Just enough people to keep it interesting, but not crowded.

I really appreciated that they reserved a table for us even though it was a Friday night.

So for the sangrias that I loved and the ambiance, i give it a 5!

Oct 27, 2018

Tara Cabullo

The menu is pretty good and I honestly think the sangrias here are the best in town. Can be quite expensive for what it is though. Still good and is still worth coming back to.

Sep 15, 2018

Nice place for either a date or a Sangria night with the barkada. Ordered the tiger prawns, it was smaller than I was hoping for but it was delicious nonetheless. The sangrias are okay, pretty basic mixes. The music and ambience is really nice as well.

Sep 05, 2018

Good food and place is not that crowded during weekdays! 👌🏼 I love their pork chops and sangria! The prawn was good as well. We'll definitely be back :)

Churrasco (with Arroz Alegria and Elote)
- Calamari
- Pork Chops
- Steak Misono
- Pollo Peruano
Salchipapas
Coxinha
Casa Blanca

Although the churrasco was not flamboyantly brought to our table in skewers with servers personally cutting meats for us, they all came in simply served in wood boards. Most importantly, they were juicy and tasty roasted meats (my personal faves: calamari and steak misono). Salchipapas could have more sausages but the sauce on the fries was so addictively good. The white sangria was like drinking floral summer with a hint of liquor. One of the best Tita drink to catch up and unwind with the rest of the Tita legion. 👍👍

Looking forward to the next visit to try their entrees, tortilla and other sangrias.

Alegria is definitely one of my favorite go-to restaurants! Flavors are amazing and the plating is lovely. I think it’s also because it’s a chef-driven restaurant. You guys should check it out :)

Vanna Jacaban

Hidden gem unlocked! This is one of the best food places I’ve been to in BGC :)

We started off with Calabresa Brasilera and Salchipapas, followed by super yumyum tacos! We had El Mexicano, Alma Koreana and Mi Japones! We then continued with Pollo Peruano, Steak Misono (?) and Pork Chops. My personal favorites for now would be the El Mexicano taco - classic and super tasty, Pollo Peruano - juicy chicken with just the right spices, and of course.... the steak that was cooked to perfection!

This is definitely food paradise! I will be back soon to try the other dishes

Looking for Latin flavors with a modern twist? Reach the 4th floor of the Uniqlo Building in BGC and check out Alegria Cozinha Moderna & Sangria Bar (@alegriamnl).

Alegria serves modern takes on Latin American faves tastefully paired with wine and sangria. Opened last October 27, Alegria offers its modern take on tasty Latino choice dishes like:

The Maize Tortillas (PHP 160 for one or PHP 450 for three) are both beautiful and delicious! We had all four kinds: O Vegano, Mi Japones, Alma Koreana, and our favorite, El Mexicano which is made with Puerto Rican pork loin, salsa creole, smoked esquites, red onion pickle cilantro, jalapeno, avocado, and queso cotija.

Cute and fun to eat, the Bralizian dish Coxinha (PHP 200) is crunchy, tender, and spicy. Made with pulled chicken, chicken milk broth dough, and wasabi aioli.

Tender and juicy, the Calabresa Brasilera (PHP 270) is great when paired with cervezas on an empty stomach. It’s made with Calabresa sausage, potatoes, and peppers.

The La Fideo! (PHP 365) is a great example of Latino flavors executed under procedures. Savory and deceptively spicy, La Fideo is definitely one of Raina’s favorites! It’s made with jalapeno aglio olio, pollo lima, chimichurri, kesong puti, and cherry tomatoes.

Tasty and filling, the Marinero (PHP 380) is an awesome and colorful seafood dish made with Puerto Rican rice, vino, sundried tomatoes, peppers, chorizo kolbasz, Chilean mussels, prawns, and calamari.

The Pollo Peruano Churrasco (PHP 420) is a Peruvian favorite with a twist. It’s made with tender Peruvian Quarter chicken served with Arroz Alegria, pork crackling crusted elote of which you can pair with a choice of red hummus, chimichurri or salsa creole sauce.

Great things take time. In this case, their Pork Chops Churrasco (PHP 450) is brined with apples for 48 hours and served with Arroz Alegria, pork crackling crusted elote of which you get pair with a choice of red hummus, chimichurri or salsa creole sauce.

Hands down my favorite on their menu, the Falso Moqueca (PHP 390) is creamy and extremely luscious. It’s made with cod fish, coconut and shrimp bouillabaisse, tapioca squid cracker, cilantro, turmeric, and raw corn tortilla.

As if we haven’t fully indulged our fatty side, for dessert we had the unusual looking, sweet, and enjoyable “Foi Mal!” Taco (PHP 180) which literally translates to “Sorry, my bad!” in Brazilian Portuguese for it’s made with tempting dark cocoa tortilla, chocolate shreds on salted vanilla sorvete, choco-meringue shards, and nuts. Yes, it’s a chocolate taco!

Quench your thirst and drink the night away with their array of wine, sangria, and cocktails. A trip to Alegria wouldn’t be complete without their refreshing Coqueteis and Sangria.

Owned by Groupo Alegria Inc., Alegria is now open at the 4th floor of C3 Annex (Uniqlo Building), 7th Avenue corner 30th Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Headed by Chef Charles Montañes, Alegria will “wow” your senses with their Peruvian and Brazilian dishes and drinks with a twist of Asian flair.

Great tasting food and the staffs were attentive and helpful. Reasonable pricing and nice cozy dining area. Will sure come back for a sangria.😊

I and my co worker went this place. This place is abit difficult to find if people dont know how to reach. However the ambiance is quite good. 😁

They dont have local beers. Only imported beers. Some wines and cocktails for alcohol.

I recommand to try Las flores cocktail with Japanese Craft Gin and Cherry Blossom 😁

I love the concept of having to go thru Uniqlo before reaching the place. It was really unique.

The food that we ordered was great (a variety of soft tacos). Oh, we also ordered fries but there was really nothing special about it.

It was a bit pricey but not so pricey. Haha. We ordered a pitcher of red wine sangria, the soft tacos, fries, a glass of white wine sangria, a bottle of Borsao, and... i think 2 bottles of Corona and our bill was P4k. From what i remember, the three soft tacos was prices at P450 (so this is pricey because the tacos were small), while the Borsao was at P875... it was affordable. So it really depends on what you’ll order.

Btw, the sangrias tasted good.

Apr 22, 2018

Ravisiva

I rarely give out 5 stars but I so enjoyed my visit here that I have to make an exception.

The ambiance and service is great and the atmosphere was enhanced by the packed Friday night crowd.

The wine cocktails are unique and are a must try. We loved Litchi (white wine, gin, elderflower liquor, lychee) and Amora (red wine, gin, blackberry, lavender). We had the white wine based Verde and the red wine based La Quica too.

For bar chow, Salchipapas - hand cut potato fries topped with sausage and queso cotija - is addictive. Coxinha - pulled chicken croquettes with a lovely wasabi aioli sauce - is very good.

Mi Japones - maize tortilla with misono steak - is very good. O' Vegano - maize tortilla with grilled calabacitas (squash) - is good too.

Remember the movie ‘Chef’? Well, it’s my first introduction to the vibrant world of Latin gastronomy. What fascinates me most about this regional blanket of food is how every dish seems to be made with the boldest flavours, the most vibrant colours, and of the freshest ingredients. Paired with the lively and rich culture that Latinos take pride in, eating in a Latin diner is definitely any foodie’s delight. Very much like how the newest must-eat spot in BGC encapsulates: Alegria Cozinha Moderna & Sangria Bar.

Believe it or not, there are two bars located on top of Uni Qlo building in High Street, BGC. Yep, you have to go inside the clothing store or find the elevator going up straight to the fourth floor. You have iDarts and a modern Latin American establishment Alegria.

Our team of food and lifestyle bloggers was invited to cover it together. We were served a number of their signature Sangrias and a stretch of their savory dishes. In all honesty, I loved most of what I got to try. The drinks, I didn't bother to sip since I don't drink anyway.

First, we had a serving of their well-curated Maize Tortillas (Php 450 for a combination of three). Four was given to us, O Vegano, Alma Koreana, El Mexicano and my top pick, Japanese inspired, Mi Japones. That had misono steak, wasabi aioli, mango salsa, sesame, smoked esquites and red cabbage. It was a delicious, well thought of combination.

For another starter, have some comfort bite with Bralizian dish Coxinha (Php 200). It has ample pulled chicken to it, wrapped in crunchy and spiced up milk broth dough. We also had small portions of Calabresa Brasilera (Php 270), a bowl of Latin American Calabresa sausage, potatoes, and peppers.

If you are hungry like me and it's your first time here, I suggest having the La Fideo! (Php 365). It is a simple yet delicious plate of jalapeno Aglio olio, Pollo lima, chimichurri, kesong puti, and cherry tomatoes. This was definitely my most memorable dish here.

Meat you looking for, they got loads of that in Alegria. They got tasty Peruvian staple, Pollo Peruano Churrasco (Php 420). Mixed with chicken are Arroz Alegria and cheesy elotes and can be dressed with any of these three sauces- red hummus, chimichurri or salsa creole sauce. Pork Chops Churrasco (Php 450) could be your go to if you a hardcore carnivore. It is brined and made tender with apple for two days!

For a light night, go for Falso Moqueca (Php 390), a delightful and creamy codfish, flavored with coconut and shrimp bouillabaisse, tapioca squid cracker, cilantro, turmeric with raw corn tortilla on the side. Our group even tried guessing what kind of fish it was!

Another recommended one would be a filling main made up of Puerto Rican rice, vino, sundried tomatoes, peppers, chorizo kolbasz, Chilean mussels, prawns, and calamari. They call this Marinero (Php 380).

A Chocolate Taco coined Foi Mal! Taco (Php 180) ended our Latino feast fit for the Gods! This unique ensemble is made up of dark cocoa tortilla, chocolate shreds on salted vanilla sorvete, choco-meringue shards, and nuts.

This restaurant and bar is definitely worth the climb. The brains of Chef Montanes sure is special. Go ahead and try them on the 4th floor of C3 Annex (Uniqlo Building), 7th Avenue corner 30th Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

I love sangria! It's one of the drinks I simply could not resist when on a night out with friends. And when I found out that there's a new bar in town that not only offers photogenic dishes but various sangrias as well, I got very excited and giddy to visit! . Hello, Alegria Cozinha Moderna & Sangria Bar.

Perched on top of the huge Uniqlo branch along Bonifacio High Street, Alegria is quite easy to miss. Take the elevator inside Uniqlo and press 4.

We started with an Alma Koreana -- quite possibly one of the best tortillas I've ever had. We followed it up with a different variant, the Mi Japones. Another great one, but not as good as the former.

The best item I got that night was the Fajita Moderna. Soft, succulent hanger steak served with mashed potatoes done to your liking (had ours with coconut milk).

One item I would probably never get again is the Marinero -- a so-so tasting seafood paella with a serving size fit for half a person.

For the Sangria, we got a buy one take one on pitchers of Tinto De Verano. It was too diluted in Sprite. The better variant, Casa Vermelha, has a taste reminiscent of blackberry tea with a zest.

IG-worthy is the wall on the end of the restaurant. Some may find delight in the fact that the al fresco area is smoker-friendly.

You would think people would go here just for the Sangria, but the food is the star. Try and you would not regret. Recommended would be the mi Japones, roast chicken, tiger prawns, calamari, ugh too many!!

I absolutely love this place! Everything from the stylish furniture, magnetizing music to the hand painted mural on the wall makes this place a cut above the rest. Truly one of the best places around the metro to bring a date or just hang out with friends. I particularly love the food, very unique and different from what we normally see in Spanish themed restaurants. The Sangria is euphoric, the best Sangria I have ever tasted. Overall, one of the best bar/restaurants that I have been to recently. Will definitely be coming back again!

Alegria is the perfect place to hang out if you want to chill-drink with friends. It's both out-of-the-way (top floor of the Uniqlo building) and convenient (but that building is right smack dab in the middle of High Street). If you, like me, are that point in life when you don't want to scream over loud techno music just to be able to make kwento with your friends, you'll enjoy this place. The place is spacious, the outdoor area is nice and breezy, and there are 'gram-worthy murals for photos.

Drinks are great (love their La Quica--if you're a Narcos fan, you'll know why I picked that one) and reasonably priced as far as BGC restaurants go. The food here is also reaaaaaally good! Personal favorites include the elotes (you haven't tried corn on the cob quite like this), the coxinha (pulled fried chicken with wasabi aioli) and the pescado (black fried fish).

Definitely going back here!

Alegria is a Latin American cuisine restaurant that can be found in the BGC high street area above the UNIQLO building.

The food in alegria exceeded my expectations. The food was great in terms of taste and presentation. I highly recommend the Fajita moderna and the pork chops. I also really enjoyed they’re version of the elotes, which had a very crunchy taste to it.

For the drinks, they have a great selection of sangrias which I found to be very refreshing and not too sweet. One of my favorite was the sangria verde. The taste of kiwi with cucumber really gives that refreshing taste that I personally enjoy. If sangria isn’t your thing, they have a great selection of imported beers.

The Location/ Ambiance for me is one of the things that makes this restaurant very unique. It’s at a rooftop area with plenty of space making the experience very fun and enjoyable. The decoration and wall murals found inside the restaurant really gives that Latin vibe experience for the customers. It’s a great place for dinner or a place to go drinking with your friends.

The Price is average in comparison to other restaurants in the BGC.

The music for most nights was very nice as it plays Latin type of music to match the theme of the restaurant.

Overall I had a great experience there, the staff is friendly, food was amazing and I would definitely go back.

Food - tried the “Tres Marias” basically it’s all of their tacos; it’s latin base flavors with a hint of mexican, korean and japanese, so good! We had the steak misono which I was surprised by quality of the meat and the flavor (it was cooked medium rare just the way I like it!)

Drinks - Altho I wasn’t able to try their pitchers. I tried their sangria by the glass (Sangria Branca) I can’t believe it doesn’t taste like 4 alcoholic bev mixed into one glass. Definitely bang for the buck.

Ambience - my kind of crowd, yuppies! Or should I say the chill drinking crowd.

This place is very welcoming especially the staff which handled our table very well, also this is not for people who are on budget. For 2 pax, we order 3 tacos, 1 main, and 2 drinks. Our bill was about Php 1,500.00 - Php 1,800.00 (but def worth it!)

Alegria is relatively one of the newest places to hang out in BGC. Tucked at the fourth floor of Uniqlo building, its somewhat “speakeasy” vibe makes it quite isolated from the other popular places nearby. Expect spacious interiors, comfy seats. There is also outdoor seating, though we didnt have a look of what it’s like outside. Other than that, we didnt really enjoy the pitcher of sangria that we ordered. It was white wine with passionfruit and Sprite. It seemed like it didnt have a hint of alcohol. It was relatively weak. Also the DJ plays loud, tacky music transforming the vibe into a typical bar in Timog. It would have been better if the music was somewhat peruvian or latin american or even mexican, not a DJ blasting with hip-hop beats. Otherwise havent tried the rest of the stuff in their menu so I’m giving an overall rating of 3.5 stars.

The place is new and is (currently) perfect for those who wants a chill ambience and prefer to talk with your squad on a normal volume. Try their Vermelha and Branca for wines if you want to mix your reds and white for a single night. For small bites, get Pescado (5 pieces) instead of Calabrese.

Also, I suggest (if you don’t mind) you have Music Mondays wherein you hire a local musician to perform. But, everything is on point as it is; lighting and service and everything.
