Had a little night-out with my female colleagues in this place. You can find it along the BGC High Street Central's row of restaurants, along Sariwon and Torch right above Cotton On. The place looks very polished that it can get a bit intimidating. But the staff were very polite and accommodating that you will forget about that.
We tried their Margherita pizza and Prawn Aglio Olio and they were perfect.
The only downside is the price. It's a bit expensive for the serving, which is a bit small.
Dined here last Valentines day and everything was perfect! a rose and our name on the table was a cute sweet touch.
As soon as we sat down they took our order and quickly served us our wine. First course was the soup, I had pumpkin soup then i had arugula salad the taste of the candied walnut is well balanced with the bitterness of the arugula. Then we had our main course which was i think more than enough than what we paid for coz it was a generous serving 😅 then the best part, DESSERT! It was amazing!
Overall, we had a great time, service was great! Thank you for making an effort. Will definitely come back soon!
Excellent service! The staffs were accommodating, friendly and fun! Love their Happy Hour on all classic cocktails from 3pm down to 8pm. Foods and drinks price are all reasonable. You will have value your money. Always coming back to this place!
Ambiance was nice, cool and hip. I liked the lofi background music.
The serving sizes are just enough although it doesn't quite fit its price.
Overall, I had a nice time, Its definitely one for the books. seemed to me that the owner must like gold so much that they made it the restaurants motif, 205 BGC is surely something I can go to on special nights
I always wanted to try 205. Yesterday during an event of Toblerone I got to taste some of their best selling items.
What’s good? The Salpicao and Gambas. These two classic Spanish dishes tasted on point with the right amount of spices. I also found the Fries interesting, similar to the version of KFC.
I didn’t like though the Calamares. It seemed like it was cooked twice in oil. I suggest we skip this staple.
Beef Tapa is amaaaazing!!
Love the interiors and the vibe.
Awesome place to eat with your friends since the food and drinks here are great. Their cookies are unexpectedly good so we order them almost everytime we go there.

Checked out this resto as we are looking to celebrate my Moms birthday here. The one who is handling our inquiry, Jeff, is very warm and accommodating. The place looks really great, hip but classy. Ordered quite a lot even if it was just me and my wife since we wanted to try the items we were planning to include in the menu for my moms birthday. We had the clam chowder, caesar salad, salmon, salpicao, aglio olio, chocolate decadence and dark choco cookie.
Clam Chowder-I found it to be delicious and they didn’t scrimp on the clams. My wife found it a bit salty.
Caesar Salad-Another good one. Dressing was obviously made from scratch. Presentation (especially the chicken) could use a bit more work.
Salmon-tasted the fish first and found it bland, then we noticed that the sauce wasn’t drizzled over the fish, so we swiped the fish over the sauce and then the flavors popped. Another yes for me.
Salpicao-They made it just the way I like salpicao. Perfectly cooked meat, tender and flavorful.
Aglio Olio-a bit of a letdown. Spice was the only flavor note I could get. Menu also mentioned “Prawn” Aglio Olio, but what’s in the dish were only shrimps, but they didn’t scrimp on the shrimp. Better though if it had prawns, even just two pieces, just to stay true to the menu. Otherwise better rename the dish to Shrimp Aglio Olio
Chocolate Decadence-Really, really good. Serving was good for two people too. Oh so chocolatey and oh so decadent
Dark Choco Cookie-Served warm. Really gooey and chewy. The chocolate was molten too. A cookie really worth coming back for.
When we were there, there was only a couple in the al fresco area and another couple at the bar. The servers were quite relaxed, though I think they were too relaxed as their conversations with each other were a bit too loud. They were still very attentive though.
Looking forward to having my moms party here
Place is very quiet and in a way isolated within the BGC area resulting for a very good ambience to have a good conversation with friends or even for meetings.
Food choices and prices seems to be reasonable. The serving is ok, so do not go here if you're totally in need to eat due to hunger.
Overall, indeed a classy place with good ambience, food, drinks, and helpful staff! Will definitely go back next time with new found friends 😂
Love this place! It is cozy, food is great, and service is attentive. Ambience is also relaxing and conducive for meetings or catch ups with friends.
Had some Friday night drinks and availed of the happy hour on their cocktails promo. Did not use our Zomato gold privilege anymore.
Their onion rings were value for money with large servings and good taste. Also had an old fashioned bourbon and salmon caviar bruschetta. A nice place to grab a couple of drinks after office. They dimm the lights when it gets late.
Service is a 10/10. Its like dining in a fancy restaurant with a familiar homey feeling. Not only is the service great, but the food and drinks are excellent as well! I would say that 205 is one of my go-to restaurants when having catch ups after work or a mid week pick-me-up. They have exquisite cocktails and the perfect food to match!
Good place to drink and catch up.
A bit too loud at the evening because of the music.
Draft beer is smooth and nice.
Thanks Zomato Gold for the 2 + 2!
My fiance proposed here that’s why this place holds a very special space in our hearts. Great that they have zomatogold so we can enjoy their drinks more :)
Great food! Great drinks! Excellent service! If youre in the mood for Italian- this place hits the spot.
Came on a weekend. Theres was a DJ playing just the right kind of music.
Place has nice interiors with a lounge vibe. I ordered 2 bruschettas to start: uni caviar and foie gras. The uni was creamy and finished well by the caviar but the latter was just ok. For mains, I got the salpicao and truffle pasta. The salpicao was tender but the beef slices were uneven, small, and lacking in flavor. The truffle was good and the uniquely shaped pasta helps absorb the sauce. They have an extensive alcoholic beverage list also.
205 at the Bonifacio High Street Central Square is a hip place to go to when you are in the BHS area.
Get the Truffle Mushroom Radiatori Pasta! This type of pasta resembles radiators. The Truffle paste, mushrooms and cream makes this pasta dish a must try!
This risotto is the best ever and I think their ingredients are really fresh. Also, the embience and the service was so nice. I really love it!!😍
So I decided to spent my birthday dinner at 205 BGC and I must say that I so love their food and wide selection of beverages!! Best decision! I will recommend this place if you're looking for intimate, chill venue, with goooooood menu selection. :)

My rating of 4 is only for the drinks we had and our experience during our visit. Will update as necessary when we get to try the food.
My high rating of 4 is because of the following:
1) They close very late. We were looking for place to chill and just have coffee while all the other places were closed already. We’re happy that we now have 205 as an option for “late-night” places/restaurants when in Bonifacio High Street.
2) They are currently on Zomato Gold for 2+2 on drinks so we were able to satisfy our thirst via the iced teas (a bit on the sour side than sweet but still very refreshing) and have our caffeine fix at the same time. The coffee came with a cute little chocolate chip cookie too, nice touch. We had 4 drinks but only paid for 2.
3) Ambience is 5/5. The place was new, modern and beautiful.
4) The server who assisted us was friendly and pleasant.
5) The chocolate chip cookie was on spot.ph’s list of best cookies and we were able to try it. Pretty good, nice to have with the coffee (but #sorrynotsorry Mo’ Cookies is still at the top of my list of favorite cookies).
Will we be back? Yes. Hopefully will get to try the food on the next visit.
Went here with the fam for coffee. They have great customer service 😊 Their servers are friendly and courteous. Cakes and cookies are good. Ambiance is great. Will definitely try their breakfast menu next time.
Their coffee, however, was served warm (I guess to prevent the bean to get burnt? Not sure. But that’s what I heard). Personally that’s okay for me, but for those who like to sip their coffee hot then you might need to request it.
Celebrated my 23rd birthday here and all i have to say is. Good food, good mood, good place.
Staff is friendly, and drinks are nice.
Ordered beef salpicao, arugula salad and flatbread/pizza and truffle pasta. Beef Salpicao was a true winner!
Also- portions are a little small, so you’ll have to order a more if you have a big appetite.
Did a zgold 2+2 on drinks, and it was worth it!
The place is spacious, very well lit and I love the gold details especially in the rest room. The servers are very attentive and nice. I was craving for breakfast food. My bacon was so crispy and my sausage was so savory it made me so happy well except for my over cooked sunny side up when i actually ordered for over easy but that is forgivable. Their apple pie with vanilla ice cream on the side is also to die for.
I will surely come back to try some of their food and most importantly their cocktails.
The place was amazing, the mood and the interior is too of the class. The Tapa was amazing and is affordable. Moscow mule is a bit refreshing but they can go easy on the ginger.
Spent the late lunch here with Vern and Verniece Enciso Annual Party.
The place is so chic. The food is good however the other pizza was greasy. Love their carbonara.
I will try their cocktails next time. I do recommend this bistro bar.
Disappointed with the food. Lackluster, tastes bland, and ugly presentation. Shame because their service is quite good. Wish I can say better things.
Edit:
Went back a few weeks ago, and their service is still quite exemplary. Ordered a couple of other dishes like the poutine and risotto. Much better than I expected considering their other offerings were not that great. Raising my review to 4 stars because of service, and the bartender was amazing! If you wanna go for drinks, this is one place you have to go to. Bartender knows his stuff!

Several years ago, one's ideal place to chill out was rave music, a beautiful crowd and lots of booze but as you grow older, you start looking for a place to to relax, have a conversation with friends over cocktails, great food and cool loungy aesthetics. It's definitely 205 BGC!
(F)ood:
All the food and tasty and are well-plated.
Beef Tapa - omg! One of the yummiest beef tapa we have tasted
Uni and caviar radiatori - the taste of the sea! Fresh uni and caviar blend well with that white sauce that bring out the richness of the uni
Beef Salpicao - tender beef that is drenched in a delicious savory sauce
Fried Mozzarella - Don't skip this if you're a fan of all things cheesy
Chicken Roll-ups - a salty and flavorful pancetta with every bite
Milanese - big and juicy fried-chicken fillet breast
Quattro Formaggi pizza - yummy and lovely to eat when straight from the oven
Breakfast pizza - pizza for breakfast? Why not?! Yummy combination of ricotta, sausqges and egg
(A)mbience:
You might get intimidated by the hotel lounge-like aesthetics of this branch but the food and drinks are justly priced so you would really feel that you get more for what you are paying for. The furnishings are reminiscent of a luxurious hotel lobby or one of your posh friend's living room where soothing, relaxing music is played together with friendly chit-chats and cocktails.
(B)utler Service:
The servers really know the foopd and the drinks in here. The food came out as expected and our requests were provided at once.
New restaurants never fail to make my eyes sparkle. I feel like a crow lured by anything shiny and that I just have to go nearer. And when I spotted 205, I just have to check it out. Shimmering with its gold and marble interiors, 205 is one eye catching restaurant along Bonifacio High Street Central.
Good Food and drinks from coffee to cocktails! price is very reasonable. Recommended for any ocassion from anniv dates, bday parties, regular nightouts and even breakfast meetings!
Great food. Great place! Service was excellent.
Shout out to Clarence our server. He attended to all of our needs and made sure we were comfortable the whole time.
Will definitely go back. The fried chicken and mushroom risotto are a must.
One look at 205’s well-curated Instagram account, you could see how they really showcased their specialties which are: great food, enticing coffee, and a wide array of cocktails. Other posts include their sparse modernistic interiors. It was exactly these things that lulled me to try it out!
BGC had a nice early evening glow about it that my friend and I opted to be seated outside in their gold + marble table. Each table also had a gold lamp that the staff turned on once the sun had gone down. (p.s. i secretly wanted to take home that lamp)
Both their margherita pizza and ‘lasagna the great’ tasted marvelously that we all but gobbled down our food and didn’t talk since we were busy refilling our plates.
As for the staff, they were all nice and quite attentive to our needs. Plus points!
I had bookmarked 205 to first give it a go, but now it’ll remain bookmarked as I will come back for more.
If you and your girlfriends are looking for a nice place to have a drink or two after dinner this place is a must try. Their cocktails are superb and the staff are amazing.
We all have that friend who doesn’t drink which makes this place perfect because they serve good coffee too.
Overall great ambiance. Reasonably priced drinks. Pretty much a solid visit here especially since its a 2+2 drinks zomato gold partner.
P.S. their Moscow Mule is a personal favorite.
What do you think of when you hear "205"? What cuisine comes into mind? This air of mystery surely helped them gain some curiosity for potential customers or soon to be patrons. 205 basically serves comfort food and kick-ass traditional cocktails under one roof. 205 opened in September this year and they've certainly gained repeat clientele.
NEW RESTAURANT ALERT !
Into posh ambiance, comfort food, exceptional cocktails, some beer, some wine, good coffee with price points that do not break the bank?
Check out this new resto in bgc
I don’t know what to say but the food was amazing. It bursts with flavor and the serving really suites the price of what I paid for. Definitely going back soon go try some cocktails and more of that delicious pizza.

205 is the newest restaurant in Bonifacio High Street Central. The name of the restaurant was derived from the stall number of the mall which is number 205.
I was fascinated when I saw the restaurant for the first time. It’s like a hotel lobby with fine and nice interior, bright ceiling and shining and spacious floor.
205 specializes in modern Italian cuisine and tried some of their bestsellers:
🍸Chicken Roll Ups for Php350.00 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
“Deep fried chicken rolls stuffed with pancetta and cheddar cheese”
🍸Prosciutto for Php850.00 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
“Prosciutto, gauda, cheddar, mozarella, blue cheese, dark chocolate bits, pistachio, sultanos, walnuts, grapes and olives”
🍸Breakfast Plate served with garlic rice and eggs done your way. (8AM-4PM only)
Beef Tapa for Php280.00 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
German Sausage for Php280.00 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
🍸Club Sandwich for Php350.00 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
“Grilled chicken breast, lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, cheddar cheese and egg”
🍸 Mare E Monte for Php380.00 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
“Spaghetti with chilean mussels, clams, pancetta, fresh tomatoes, mushroom, olive oil”
🍸 Lasagna The Great for Php350.00 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
“Five layers of pasta, bolognese sauce, oozing mozarella, parmesan and bechamel”
🍸 Spinach and Burrata Risotto for Php375.00 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
“Arborio rice, spinach, burrata, parmesan, pecorino and black pepper”
🍸 Quatro Formaggi for Php 480.00 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
“Gorgonzola, grana padano, cheddar, mozzarella and white sauce drizzled with green apple balsamic”
All the dishes were deliciously worth coming back. I really like the risotto, beef tapa and german sausage breakfast plate and the lasagna. Best paired with your favorite cocktail.
Actually the restaurant is very intimidating. The interior looks expensive. There are lots of gold colors on it. But when I scanned the menu, surprisingly, the prices of their dishes are very reasonable when it comes to the serving size.
Overall, 205 is something to look forward of coming back again for those who wants to chill while having your favorite glass of wine or cocktails. And the management also provided excellent service.
#ilovetoeatph 😃❤️

5. Their ambience is very classy!

8. IT IS ABSOLUTELY REASONABLE IN TERMS OF PRICES! 😊❤️
Don’t get intimidated with their interiors from outside, because it will absolutely worth the visit! ❤️
Went for Saturday dinner with entire family and had cocktails, wine, steak and pasta. Nice casual and cozy setting for family and friends. Ordered an Old Fashioned cocktail and it was one of the best I’ve had in Manila. Truffle pasta was well made and rib eye tender. Wine price was definitely value for money. Will definitely go back when I am in the BGC neighborhood.
Had dinner here with my titas to catch up since they live nearby. The food here are all goooooood! But the Truffle pasta and Quattro Formaggi feels like heaven in my mouth :) Will definitely go back and try their other dishes.
I love this new restaurant! The ambiance reminds me of Leonardo DiCaprio's movie, The Great Gatsby, which was set on New York's 1920's era. Lots of gold, marble, and earth tones, the vibe is very luxe. Might I add they have the most comfortable chairs, and yes they have gold straws here ladies and gentlemen, very fancy. Plus the staff was accommodating and polite.
After trying out a portion of their menu, I personally would recommend their Small Plate Gambas and Braciola. Now would I return here? Definitely!
Went for dinner Friday night. Nice layout, can get a little noisy once full, but still a good atmosphere. Excellent food and good selection of wines. Will return.
New resto in BGC Central! Generous servings, clean modern interiors and a surprisingly good playlist! This transforms into a bar later on—cocktails are excellent. Try the gin based ones like Tom Collins and IDGAF! :)
My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this place after trying to think of new places to eat at the fort.
it was their soft opening and the menu was limited, but the choices at the time were perfect for us.
we had quattro formaggi pizza, bruschetta and pasta (forgot what it was called, but it was good.)
Food was great and the service was excellent.
I’m looking forward to the grand opening!
I go here for lunch once a week and the great thing about it is they just opened so the place is desserted. The ambience is great and whoever set the playlist has good taste in music, hats off to you. The menu is a bit pricey but it's totally worth it. I love their Spaghetti A La Carbonara, it's a must try for pasta lovers.
