I love their CHEESE appetizers!! They have baked camembert, which I don’t usually see in the other bars I go to. Their artichoke and feta dip is also good. I’m such a huge fan of cheese and so I was so so happy with The Bowery. Their cocktails are good, too.

Would definitely come back here again! :)

We ate here prior to going to the mind museum since it was near and a recommendation of a friend. The place has a few dining guest (I guess since it was 2pm and it was a pub) that we were able to sit immediately. Their food was excellent! From the ton of yummy sounding dishes on the menu we got these two: 
Egg Basquaise and their House Burger. 

As you can see in the picture, the poached egg is really really nice. The polenta (boiled Cornmeal) was made perfect. 

For the House Burger, I got my mind blown just by the simple fact that it's one of the best burgers that I had. From the first bite I could taste that smoky flavor and it was really juicy. A bit pricey, but I assure you it's worth every bite. And btw, the serving of the fries was generous. Perfect fit for the burger.

Would come back again once we have the opportunity.

I love this place. This is the bar to go in Burgos Circle if you want to hang out enjoy your cocktail and nicotine and immerse yourself in a nice conversation with your companion. I just wish they open earlier during weekdays or at least on a Friday.

Tried via Eatigo.

Not sure if servers are not a morning persons but we have ourselves welcomed and seated without any crew.

Food serving are small (except the chicken and waffles) compare to the price. Good thing is that I believe their pasta are hand made, plus points.

Would I dine again? Not sure.

Everything we ordered is good, especially the Classic Mac n’ Cheese and Death by Chocolate cake. I would have given them 5 stars if not for the crew. :( I understand that we were just booked via Eatigo’s 50% off but that’s not an excuse to be blunt. Parang ayaw niya kami doon :( though he’s attentive, he doesn’t smile the entire time we were there. Na-compare pa namin how he served the foreigners. Anyway, we’ll definitely come back and shrug it off, hoping he’ll improve ☺️

We ordered Manhattan Clam Chowder, Mac n Cheese, Moe’s Salad, Eggs and Steak, and Bowery Steak. All good, I swear!! 🥰

Cozy ambience and friendly staff. Good place to chill and space is just enough for small groups. Good selection of playlist, which is not too loud and lets you clearly hear each other.

Food was delicious and filling. The atmosphere was rustic yet a bit too dark and cramp for my taste. They have a buy 1 take 1 promo during happy hour (5-8pm) and we got to sample their Cucumber Mojito which was just OK. For smokers, you’ll be happy to know that they have a balcony where you can also dine and drink al fresco. Service was good.

The Bowery is commonly known as a pub/bar for those who wants to just chill and hang-out within the busy streets of BGC. The ambiance is chill. It's paired with a cool yet groovy/funky background music inside. The wooden interiors and overall pub design gives me a New York-ish vibe. 

Chef Cuit Kaufman brought us several dishes with a twist which proves that The Bowery is not just a bar, but a restaurant serving best-tasting (and healthy) food as well.

Spinach Corn Fritters (P250.00) - BTW, fritter is a fried food usually consisting of a portion of batter or breading which has been filled with bits of meat, seafood, fruit, vegetables or other ingredients. On this one, they used spinach/corn.
It's like a savory donut, with cheddar cheese that's light and soft in the middle with a crunchy texture outside.

Moe's Sweet Chile Beaner (P280.00) - a good starter. It was actually named after Chef Cuit's friend. It has arugula, spinach, roasted peppers, avocado, black beans, parmesan cheese with sweet chili vinaigrette and cilantro. It's like eating a salad with a spicy kick.

General Tso's Chicken and Tofu (P390.00) - it was originally based on a Taiwanese (or Chinese?) dish but it was Americanized, and chef Cuit has elevated this dish a little bit. It has no MSG, no aritifical colors, it has a sweet and sour sauce, s ow peas, and spring onions. They serve it with brown rice instead of white rice (customers can request for white rice instead of the brown rice). For those on a diet, customers can choose ALL Tofu (lower price) or All Chicken (higher price) but it's mixed by default. They even offer a smaller size of it like a rice bowl.

Pan Seared Salmon (P680.00) - instead of white rice, they use quinoa as a substitute (well, Quinoa is high in protein and fiber, and it's a part of the trend if you're looking for healthy options). The salmon is served medium rare by default (though tenderness can be requested). It has a light chili bade, chili mango slaw, and sliced avocado. Tasty but healthy!!

Tuna Farfalle Puttanesca (P520.00) - fresh grilled tuna, fresh tomatoes, black olives, capers, red onions, parsley, parmesan cheese. It's slightly spicy and the puttanesca sauce is strong even if Farfalle pasta was used on this one. It's one of my favorites as well.

Death by Chocolate (P360.00) - of all the desserts and chocolate cakes I tried, this one surely marked my taste buds. It has 7 layers of distinct chocolate components with Chocolate Creme Anglaise and Cocoa nibs. I can still remember the crunchy parts and the solid part of chocolate cream drifting my tongue. It was sweet and dark as well! It's one of my favorites.

Grilled Strawberry Mango Shortcake (P280.00) - it was grilled to the point that there's a smokey goodness on this dessert. Strawberries and mangoes on this cake, who wouldn't like it? You should try it as well. Surprisingly complex as they say.

Price range is high, but the overall experience you'll get while dining or chilling here is worth your money + some of the dishes were unique, tasty and healthy.

Well Imma say The Bowery is one of the precious gem here in BGC that everyone must try! Aside from their NY city bar feels, the interior which is filled with wood accents and chill music complete the overall perfect concept of this restaurant. How can’t it be perfect if the owner and the chef itself are very hands-on and meticulous on every gastronomic food they offer. Besides providing sumptuous dishes they are also mindful on serving their food with healthy ingredients.

Here’s the list of the food that I truly enjoy:
*Moe’s sweet Chile Beaner - named after Chef Cuit’s friend. Organic Salad with with a kick of spiciness that is so addicting you wanna have some more. Chile Vinaigrette is heart!

*Spinach and Corn Fritters - first impression you would think thats its a confectionary dessert but nthen you will see the tomato salsa and Black pepper cream then you will realise that its actually parmesan! (Mind-blown) perfectly genius!

*Pan Seared Salmon - you know I could it this for life without feeling any guilt! Who says healthy food is boring? This pan seared salmon with chilli mango slaw and avocado serve with quinoa as your rice is definitely a must try! See even describing this dish makes me smile and imagine and crave and OMG!

*Tuna Farfalle Puttanesca - was served with medium rare grilled tuna on top of the pasta in tomato sauce. I love how creamy and tasty this is! One of the reason Imma go back!

*General’s Tso’s Chicken and tofu - fried chicken fillet in sweet and sour sauce with lots of tofus. I can compare this to orange chicken but yummier.

*Death by Chocolate cake - if I die because of this layers of chocolate components Im sure Id be peaceful! Im so maarte when it comes to chocolate cake but this one just melts in your mouth! Imagine the feeling of smiling after every single bite!

And lastly.,

*Grilled Strawberry Mango Shortcake - I love shortcakes and this one is very brilliant! Who Imagined that grilling a pound cake can make a big difference of added taste? Grabe this dessert! Though they could have plate this more nicely but whatever! It is still super delicious that I don’t wanna share it to anyone!

Oh my! Describing all the dishes that I tasted at This resto makes me come back again as soon as possible! Even if its pricy, I think its all worth it. Im like crying like a unicorn cause of The Borrow.

When I checked out what the "Bowery" meant, I learned that it was "a section of lower Manhattan in New York City. The street that gives the area its name was once the road to Peter Stuyvesant's bouwerij, or farm. The Bowery was once notorious for its saloons, petty criminals, and derelicts." This place certainly gave the saloon feel but the only criminals and derelicts here are those guilty of having that penchant for the  greats : taste, ambiance and company of acquaintances, family and friends.

Knowing that they are a sister company with "The Borough", I expected equally good (if not more than) food and ambience, and I was not disappointed. Price-wise, better prepare, because you know, great, quality ingredients and preparation is equivalent to a respective amount of our well-earned mullah.  :P

Moe's Sweet Chile Beaner (salad) - a great starter! When you look at it, it's just a non-assuming salad with organic ingredients, fresh and refreshing but wait for it.... it suddenly kicks you with something spicy. Love that treacherous chile vinaigrette which keeps you asking for more. Moe’s salad was named after Chef Cuit’s friend who helped in the creation of this salad.

Spinach and Corn fritters - anything with cheese is great enough for me, though I thought it was confectionery sugar. It is served w/ pepper creme sauce and roasted tomato sauce. You really need those yummy dips because the fritters are simple tasting when eaten alone. BUT then again this is a healthy alternative to your usual french fries.

Tuna Farfalle Puttanesca - this is the Chef's favorite and no doubt about it. It just looks simple but when eaten, it is a wild combination of different flavors which is definitely highlighted by that grilled tuna. Would definitely come back for more! A miust-try!

General Tso's Chicken and Tofu - another classic dish which was given a different twist with that sudden brush of Dijon mustard. Love the marriage of sweet and salty chicken with a generous amount of cubed tofu.

Pan Seared Salmon - whenever I see salmon on the menu, I am quickly drawn to it and would include it in my list of must-order. This salmon is perfect at medium rare and elevated with that pop-in-your mouth healthy quinoa and slices of avocado (yes to avocado!) and that chili mango slaw is truly a refreshing addition to this dish. I ate the salmon skin and it was still perfectly seasoned! :)

Please make sure you have room for desserts as the Chef of Bowery has been originally a pastry chef, the desserts here are a sure hit!

Death by Chocolate - if cats have 9 lives, it will surely die, all 9 lives of it, due to the yumminess of this cake! it has 9 distinct chocolate components (but why does the menu say 7 components?). As a chocolate dessert lover, I instantly became a slave to this yummy dessert! It has soft and chewy components which you can munch on forever! Would definitely order this! Why isn;t this on the best chocolate cakes? (or is it?)

Grilled Strawberry Mango Shortcake - OMG! have you tasted grilled poundcake before? yummmmm! I do not know what the grilling did to the cake but it was a very unique flavor and experience. I am not a fan of the plating though, it needs improvement to make it more pleasing to the eyes.

(A)mbience:

Totally reminiscent of the saloons and bars in New York which I have only seen in movies. Love the New York posters that adorn their brick walls. Wooden accents and floors create a homey old town vibe. The customizable letter board adds to the feeling that this place is just for you specially if you have a special private celebration in this space. Love also the outdoor seats giving you the busy street view of BGC. Music is pleasing to the ears and customizable as well. They have a set list with the old 70s groove music and Motown classics but can be adjusted depending on your requests.

The owner and the chef assisted us. They are so knowledgeable about the food, their target market. Love that their vision is to serve healthy but sumptuous food. The servers are equally competent and they provided us with our needs at once.

this gem in BGC is known for serving great food, great drinks and great music (an unquestionable winning equation i’d say). most people focus on the feel-good music and drinks yet misses to notice that they have gastronomic offerings (apart from bar chow) that’s healthy, hefty and guarantees to expunge anyone’s hunger for New York comfort food.

though it’s a bit pricey compared to their ‘Borough’ baby, it’s well worth every penny you pay because each meal uses the finest, freshest, organic, no frills and MSGs, top-tiered quality ingredients that they do not crimp on, it’s well-plated and pleasing to all senses.

the Spinach and Corn fritters (served w/ pepper creme sauce and roasted tomato sauce) was a pleasing appetizer that was dredged in parmesan -best to eat w/ the dips because if not it falls flat on taste. Moe’s salad was named after Chef Cuit’s friend who concocted this creation, it’s got a Mexican flare to it as the beans fused well against the bitterness of the arugula and the kick of the chili vinaigrette- wonderfully weird!

if you’re to get the salmon and the gen tso chicken, eat it in this order. the salmon and quinoa were made for each other, it’s delicately delicious opposed that (somewhat) pickled coleslaw side. the Gen Tso Chicken/Tofu was amazing! that thick salty-sweet sauce covering crunchy chicken fillets and tofu bites was a perfect match w/ the brown rice; this merits a promoter for me and i can gorge on this ALL DAY. another winner was the tuna farfalle putanesca- ‘coz the sauce was creamier and thicker (and the spiciness) was more reminiscent of an arrabiatta for me, nonetheless, it tasted so good!

now, make way for desserts y’all. they have death by chocolate that showcases 9 chocolate components to get your taste buds excited! you can eat it layer by layer (or if you’re a greedy bear) bite into it like a sandwich- sinful yet scrumptious. because that was a dense delicacy, the grilled strawberry and mango shortcake was a lighter dessert but didn’t back down on the former. fresh strawberries and mangoes (made into compotes) against that fresh cream and GRILLED pound cake was heaven in a bite and the mint gave it a clean finish, a perfect way to end your meals.

the in house, chill, feel-good music and the overall ambiance makes for a great swanky borough experience. invite some of your friends over to experience what they have to offer, it’s a great way to cap off any day of your week.

Got to go to Bowery for a friend's birthday. He rented the second floor for his party.

Awesome DJ! Music is dope!

Great space with the bar, the couch seating and the corner balcony seats.

Bar food was decent. So check the menu if you up for some munchies.

We ordered a bunch to celebrate Father's day here in The Bowery. Top hits in the Bowery: Mac and Cheese with Bacon, Steak and Eggs, Buttermilk fried Chicken and Waffle. All delicious and ample amount of serving for sharing. Though we didn't really appreciate the 2 dishes we ordered (Braised Beef Agnolotti & Roasted Rosemary Chicken).

I've only been here twice but both experience was enjoyable! The place feels homey. I love the interior design, it's unique; simple but not boring. It's a good place to hang out and chill with your barkada after a tiring day.

Food taste great! My favorites (so far) are the Warm Artichoke Feta Dip and Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Waffle! I've read other reviews regarding the Chicken & Waffle and i was so intrigued by the combination so I had to try it. It didn't disappoint! Servings are good for 2-3 people but I felt like I can finish both dishes on my own.

Staffs are so accommodating. Today 6/28/18, we arrived at 5:15pm and it was so hot outside, I kept fanning myself while waiting for our order, the guy who waited our table probably saw me sweating like hell so he adjusted the aircon. I love it when staffs are sensitive to the customers needs!

It's worth mentioning that I got my reservation through eatigo! We had 3 dishes (1 appetizer, 1 entree and 1 salad) and paid only 700php

Overall, I highly recommend this place if you happen to stop by BGC. ^^

Bowery is one of our favourites. You can go there any time of the day and have a good time. They serve breakfast, brunch, snacks, dinner and even drinks. The food is excellent, the service is good and they play great music in the evenings.

The chicken-waffle dish was delicious even if the chicken skin tasted salty. The waffle was big. Short rib grilled cheese was nice too, I just felt like the cheese/ meat was overpowering. I couldn't pinpoint which of the two overpowered the dish, but I liked the mustard and the chips on the side. We dined here for brunch, but it was too noisy for a brunch setup. Music was excessively loud, accompanied with obnoxiously noisy people at 10:30 in the morning. Should have had some balance in there :)

the first time i dined here was when they just opened a few yrs back and didn't dine again until recently. they took almost an hour to prep my sandwich (sliced steak and gruyere). i only ate half and the other i asked for take away. we were waiting for a time only to find out the waiter threw it away. i am still mad thinkin abt it now. but nevertheless, i dined here recently (not on my own volition, but i did) and ordered their grilled cheese. it was deadly and yummy at the same time, so i guess i should just let go of my bad experiemce and just rate them based on my latest experience. the grilled cheese was very buttery and tasty. you know how some grilled cheese could be disapppointing because they're bland, you wont be disappointed on theirs. they've seasoned their bread well that it complements the cheese. but my advice is share this with someone coz it could be deadly. haha. (excuse my picture.. it was so dark and i didnt know it would be that good)

I've visited three times, and after all three visits my taste buds were always satisfied! The food is what you'd definitely classify as comfort food. Catch up with some friends or get to know new ones over dinner at this hot spot. You won't be disappointed with the location and ambience of the restaurant. The waitresses were attentive and courteous when we held a birthday dinner there once. Also, there are two parking lots nearby so it isn't hard to get to! Try it! It's a great experience in the evening.

Bonifacio Global City is full of restaurants and bars that make it known not only as a rising business district, but also as a destination for food and social gatherings. It is also on a corner of this busy city that a simple restobar serving great American comfort food lies. . The Bowery is a restaurant located near the Mind Museum and Burgos Circle. Having a serene setting, this place is the perfect secret hideout with your friends, drinking cocktails, eating mac and cheese, and forgetting that the world outside exists. This is exactly what my friends and I have done one Sunday afternoon.

Ever heard of Selena Gomez's song "It ain't me"? Well, that about the only reason why my friends and I decided to try out The Bowery in BGC for brunch 😂 ( Katkat right? 😂) But I'm very happy that we did. We were pleased with our food selections. I got the gnocchi while my friends both got the eggs benedict. Portions are just enough to fill you up. Not too big, not too small.

I love the ambiance of the place. It was the perfect place to catch up with friends. Not to mention that the place was very instagrammable. We took a lot of pictures and basically had a good time. Food was a bit expensive though but totally worth it. 👌

Got 50% discount from eatigo. We ordered Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Waffles and Death by Chocolate (not pictured here). Good for sharing. I never thought that fried chicken and waffles would be a good combination, and it really worked! I also love their chocolate cake. But it gets too sweet as you eat it up so I was not able to finish it.
I will definitely come back to try other dishes.

I'm a huge fan of salads. And I must say their bacon and egg salad is the best (so far).

Their pastas (spinach ravioli and beef aniolotti) are both very flavorful. But what I loved more is their buttermilk chicken and waffles. The waffles not too sweet and very filling. Babyback ribs serving is big good for 3.

Price range is slightly expensive but worth a visit.

The Bowery has an intimate and cozy ambiance that sits in the heart of BGC.

Kicking off the dining experience with Bacon and Egg Salad is just about right ~ couldn't say more about how refreshing it is. Followed by two sets of pasta, each flavor strikes our taste buds. The main deal here's the Buttermilk Chicken and Waffle, needless to say, it's the best seller!

Everyone should check out the place!

This was my last meal for the last teenage day of my life. By all means, I am so glad to have chosen this for my pre-20th birthday dinner.

I ordered their Spinach Ricotta Ravioli while my brother ordered their Short Rib Grilled Cheese.

At first sight, the ravioli's serving seemed too small. But I honestly felt full after finishing it! My brother gave me a slice of his order so that may have helped, but I think the ravioli's portion is just right for a decent meal. Also, this was probably the BEST ravioli I have ever tasted! I loved the salted fried spinach that came with it. For the Short Rib Grilled Cheese, I think it was expensive for Php490++. I did not get a chance to taste a huge portion of it but I can tell that it was delicious.

For the place, there was only one other pair of diners when we visited so I really appreciated the unexpected solitude. It was so cold inside which was perfect against the summer humidity. Our seat also had an excellent view of the streets below so it was quite a scenery.

For the service, we were attended to almost immediately. I would not have expected anything less seeing that there were only two tables occupied.

Aptly named. Ambiance is fabulous and rustic. The music is great. And the food, marvelous. I didn't expect much when I ordered their Bacon and Egg Salad coz I was looking forward to my Linguine with Mussels and Clam (Pasta Girl represent). But I actually enjoyed it immensely maybe even more so the pasta dish but it's also delish. I dined Al Fresco on the 2nd floor and the experience was 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

This has been one of my go-to place since I started working in BGC. I loooooove their grilled cheese sandwich which I don’t fail to order whenever I’m there. Yum. Also, I recommend going during happy hour which is until 8pm if I remember correctly so you can avail of their 1+1 cocktails which is yay!

What a coincidence? They're in BGC too for Pokemon Go! I met my friend with his husband at The Bowery which is located at Forbeswoods Heights, Burgos Circle, Bonifacio Global City for lunch.

The Bowery serves NYC Comfort Food and operates in 24-hours daily.

This is our first time here and we find the place cool and a good vibe feels. They have nice interior which turns into a bar with DJs booth at night.

As we call the attentive server and we are ready to order, she recommends the Short Rib Grilled Cheese Sandwich, we got one order of what she recommends and add Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Waffles and Eggs Benedict.

Short Rib Grilled Cheese Sandwich - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5

Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Waffles -
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5

Eggs Benedict - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5

The place is pricey but the servings are big that 2-3 persons can share in one plate.

Update as of 13 March 2017.

I tried their French Toast again and guess what? It's finally baaaack to the way it was before! I tried it with my friends and they all agreed that it tasted nothing but delicious. It's melt in your mouth goodness. It was so different to what I previously had. Thanks Bowery! Now we have all the more reasons to go back.

Hi, Cindy S.! ❤️


---

I love The Bowery so much that it feels so bad to give them a low rating this time.

My friends and I ate here last Wednesday night. My friends ordered their Short Rib Grilled Cheese (490php) and Linguini Clam Pasta (390php). The sandwich was amazing. The serving was generous and we liked the chips on the side. The pasta was kind of lacking in taste tho and it was so small for its price. I tried their Buttermilk and Chicken for my main and dang it was HUGE. One order is good for sharing. The chicken was okay in general and I loved the golden waffle especially with their maple syrup.

My visit in Bowery will never be complete without ordering my favorite Brioche French Toast. I actually recommended this to my friends and I even tagged it as Best French Toast for me. When it arrived it looked kind of burnt, but hey I didn't lose my trust in this. I was the first one who took a slice of the toast, put some butter and syrup and it was MEH. It was so sad. "This is not the french toast I used to love here," I told myself. It was not "melt-in-your-mouth" unlike before. There was no WOW in every bite. I'm not sure if it's with the milk or what, but it tasted just like any other French toasts. Bowery, please bring back your classic and my all-time-favorite melts in your mouth Brioche French toast pretty please?

We went on a Friday night few minutes after 9 in the evening for a spontaneous "after work" break. Had the kebab which was extremely massive and delicious. It can be shared between two persons. Highly recommended. Would come back to try other stuff in ther menu :)

🐽 Food: We ordered the cheese platter, which was delicious. But we had to request for more crackers. The Mac & Cheese was also yummy, as usual.

🍹 Drinks: They have happy hour from 6pm-8pm. I personally don't recommend the Watermelon Mojito. You can stick with bottles and beers.

🍴Ambiance: I love the balcony area. Super chill vibes!

👫 Service: Took as several times to get the attention of the servers. Maybe they should have a buzzer for the tables outside.

💸 Price: Worth it for the food and drinks you consume.

Walked in here after an abysmal meal at pancake House. Went through the elaborate drinks menu and ordered an anti-zen green tea and a spinach ravioli pasta.

The drink came within 5 minutes and tasted wonderful but towards the fag end of the drink I found the taste of ginger to be overpowering and unenjoyable. The pasta had a fine twist to it. Fried spinach on top and onions that are not completely cooked on the side both of which added a fantastic touch to it. The spinach inside the pasta had a slight bitter taste in it but it was only slight so no complaints. Great meal on the whole.

The bill in total was over 700php but I'd definitely visit again to try more cocktails and try some more of their food.

The Bowery is a casual dining and drinking establishment that serves American comfort food. It is the perfect setting for a brunch to start the day on a high note, a lunch to have a momentary respite from the office, a dinner to escape from the daily grind, or an after office drinking session to chill with friends.

Here are my  suggestions on what to order: Bowery Caesar, Linguini with Mussels and Clams, Media Noche, Steak and Eggs, Swedish Chicken Meatballs, Death by Chocolate.

Once a month, The Bowery hosts whiskey tasting events in partnership with Jameson Irish Whiskey. More on the blog!

Oh how I love cocktails! Tequila sunrise is on top of my list but this cocktail caught my attention. A twist of watermelon is just oh so perfect! Plus the alcohol is just balanced! The ambience was awesome although we went there on a Sunday late night which people mostly are resting for Monday's work. Lol

Ambiance is great for catching up with friends over drinks and good food.

Their sangria is A+, comparable to Barcino. If it were down to only the sangria, Barcino is a step ahead because it's stronger and comes in pitchers, but the Bowery food is much better imo. Tasteful and tasty, spinach and corn fritters are a must try. 😋

We had the Sweet potato fries with basil creme fraiche; Short rib grilled cheese; and Skillet Chocolate chip cookie sundae. The fries were simple yet delicious. The sandwich was good as well. The serving was decent and taste wise I'd give it a 7 out of 10. The dessert we had was good but half way you would get tired of it. The place is a bit pricey but if you're not into getting drunk all night, this is your go to.

I had high expectations coming in the restaurant because of the high zomato ratings and good reviews. I haven't been to New York but those who experienced the city swore that the place had a New York vibe to it from the food to the interiors. We dined on a holiday but surprised that the place wasn't too full. For dinner we orders their Mac n Cheese with bacon bits, short rib grilled cheese, chicken pita kebab, spinach corn fritters and roasted Rosemary chicken.

The classic Mac n cheese is the most recommended dish to try when dining in Bowery and I understand why. It was creamy but light and perfectly seasoned. I just wished that they used macaroni instead of a fusilli pasta. Sorry, I can be a purist when it comes to traditional pasta recipes.

Short rib grilled cheese- Grilled cheese already sounds heavenly then the Bowery decides to add shreds of tender short rib meat that had a sweet-tangy-smokey flavor to it. Plus toasted bread BAYM goodbye diet! The serving is huge. There were two skinny girls on the next table and they shared this dish for dinner. Tip when dining with friends when ordering this dish Have the kitchen slice it in portions to everyone gets to taste how awesome this sandwich is.

The roasted Rosemary chicken wasn't out of the ordinary but it all of a sudden turns into a swan when paired with the Parmesan Polenta (cornmeal paste often boiled and baked and common in Italian dishes) and red wine steeped cherries. Very Alta! But seriously I love the turn out of the flavors when all three are combined - a gastronomical treat!

The chicken kebab pita came with two sticks of generously portioned chicken kebabs marinated in spices. You can tell from the smell the play of spices used in the chicken marinade. It was served in a bed of cabbage,lettuce, tomato and onions inside a pita bread with potato chips on the side and garlic sauce. I like Mediterranean food and spices but I think for this dish it was a bit overpowering especially when you already eat it together with the veggies. The potato crisps was delicious. The garlic sauce was mediocre. The chicken was tender and wasn't dry so still the dish deserves a thumbs up. Tip, you can share this dish just order an extra pita bread.

The spinach corn fritters was fun, I like the play of textures in my palette. Flavor wise nothing mind blowing but I like corn and breaded food so I really enjoyed the appetizer.

Ambiance is pretty sleek and sophisticated. Food presentation is Instagram worthy. I would wanna go back and try the place for brunch and late night drinks. They're open 24 Hours which is awesome for those like me who gets hungry past midnight. A bit pricey but worth every penny.

Recommended place to bring your date for some casual dinner than a bit of drinks after.

Bowery is located in Forbeswood Height, Burgos Circle, Bonifacio Global City. I was invited by Hungry Pants and Chef Jay's Kitchen, my so generous and loving foodie friends to join them for their food crawl today in BGC. I had the chance to try out their Moc’s Sweet Chile Beaner and their Brioche Fresh Toast with sliced fruits on the side.

Moc’s Sweet Chile Beaner, P280.00, a generous serving of mixed Arugula, Spinach, Roasted Peppers, Avocado, Black Beans, Parmesan Cheese, Sweet Chili Vinaigrette and Cilantro. A fresh tasting salad with a bitter taste at the end. I liked the taste of their sweet chili vinaigrette on this. Masarap without reservations.

Brioche French Toast, P260.00, French toast with Cinnamon Sugar, Fresh Fruit, Whipped Butter and Honey. I would definitely would like to wake up with this French toast on my table (even at bed). The toast is creamy and moist inside. You can actually eat the toast alone but the butter and honey is also perfect. Definitely masarap without reservations.

My personal foodie rating for the restaurant:

Food: 4.0
Service: 3.0
Place: 3.0

Happy Eating,

In search for the best Eggs Ben in the metro, I, together with two of my foodie friends went to The Bowery after knowing that this place serves awesome Eggs Benny). However, we came on a Monday and sadly, they only offer the dish on weekends! It was brunch so we settled for their brioche french toast with sliced fresh fruits on the side and their Moc's Sweet Chile Beaner Salad Salad (Arugula-Spinach-Roasted Peppers-Avocado-Black Beans-Parmesan Cheese-Sweet Chile Vinaigrette-Cilantro). The latter looked sad as it was so green and there was no other pop of color in it. I thought it would taste so plain and boring but I was surprised on how good it tasted! It was something beyond your usual salad, one that would easily transport you to some foreign land familiar to us asians (must be the cilantro that made me think of Thailand). I also like the kick of the roasted peppers and the sweet vinaigrette. The parmesan cheese gives balance to it. Truly delightful! Next was the toast which my friends enjoyed.. I, on the contrary prefer it with a bit of a crunch and not as soggy. It would also taste better if they added more cinnamon powder/sugar to it.

Service needs to be improved. They should be open at 11 but at 11:15, the sign says theyre still closed. Chef Jay's Kitchen had to stand in front of the restaurant and ask what time it really opens, and when he said its already 11:15am, thats the only time they (in this case, Im guessing its their manager or supervisor, who was still using about two tables to probably record sales, supplies) opened the place. The staff looked lazy and not as accommodating. Seems like they caught the weekend hangover and gives off that "I hate Mondays" vibe - again, at 11am!

Anyway, I love the ambiance and will still go back for their Moc's Salad and possibly on a weekend to try their famous Eggs Ben!

I liked my dining experience here except for a tiny observation that was a major put off for me. Their server treats foreigners a tad better than locals.

Let's talk about food now. As for their food, they come in big servings so that explains the price. I ordered short rib grilled cheese sandwich and buttermilk fried chicken and waffles. I'm not a fan of caramelized onions so I had to remove them from my grilled cheese sandwich before taking a bite. I wasn't a fan of their sauces neither. I found them way too flavorful that it takes over the flavor of the food. But i looove their grilled cheese!

As for the buttermilk fried chicken, it was way too oily for me😱, but i liked their buttermilk waffles even without a syrup!!👌

After dinner at Ninak, a bunch of my cousins and I had a round (or so) of drinks to just chill... We drove all the way from Makati to Burgos Circle, with no plan in mind... Those unplanned, spur-of-the-moment things are usually the ones that result in good memories...👍

So we walked around for awhile, until my cousin suggested The Bowery... We were led to the second floor and were ready to sit indoors... That is until we saw that the only available table was beside this very amorous couple... Well, I did say go to bars at your own risk, but that kind of, ummm, show, should be done in a room and on a bed... Shucks!😳 so we just opted to go outside, in the smoking area, but far away from the couple practicing tonsil hockey in the corner... 😜 #mahalangkwartosabgc #dimakaintaysikuya #matindingpangangailangan #freeshow

The Bowery serves NYC comfort food and the place is actually open 24hours during the holiday season... As for the four of us, we ordered our respective drinks and my cousin generously order the Lobster shrimp and truffle Mac and cheese for all of us to share... My drink was the cucumber creation something or the other, which was very refreshing...👍

Their Mac and cheese was to die for... Period... It had heaps of lobster, shrimps and the truffle taste was pronounced as well... The flavors blended well together, nothing was overpowering... Absolutely delicious!!! Surprisingly filling!👍 and very expensive at P1200... Yikes and thanks cuz!😄😄😄

Friendly staff and very reasonable serving time... Very dirty bathroom though...👎

Can I just say that only my brother recognized Jake Cuenca... Sorry naman, celebrity is lost on me...😜

The bowery is really a great place to unwind. From their interior, on how paintings were chosen to compliment the bricked wall, and the full glass window that brings in a natural light is really genius.

I love all the food that comes out of their kitchen. We were able to try their braised beef sandwich, eggs benedict and chicken pita, all of them taste together with their unlimited cocktail promo. A well deserved brunch treat after a long week..

Wagyu Burger | Fettuccini Bolognese | Kebab Pita x I highly recommend the Mac n' cheese & Swedish meatballs! This underrated restau at Fort has the capacity to be the number 1 go-to place if given the exposure. Not your typical everyday food- they patterned their dishes around the globe.

Situated in Burgos Circle, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City, The Bowery is a New York-themed restaurant/bar at night. It has two floors: first floor is for dining customers and those who want to just eat and relax with their calm ambiance while the second floor is the bar where you can enjoy a cocktail or two with the music of different DJ's every night!

We went here for my 21st birthday salubong. So, this place would always be special for me. I turned 21 here eating their Short Rib Grilled Sandwich (P420) which is truly mouthwatering! And the serving? I wasn't able to finish half of it! It's more than what I expected. I couldn't get enough of the chips! We also ordered the famous Classic Mac and Cheese (P360). Personally, I am not a fan of cheese or any dairy product but my friend really enjoyed their mac and cheese saying it's the best he ever tasted! For me, I had a good taste of it as well! Lastly, we had Chicken Paillard Salad (P310). The balsamic reduction sauce was really strong and overpowering in the salad. The serving was also big enough for two-three people. Lastly, I had apple shake!! I love how the shake still has tiny bits of apple and it's not too liquid already just like regular shakes.

Verdict? Definitely going back here to try their all day breakfast menu and that 90 peso oyster promo during happy hour! Btw, they're 24 hours open so if you find yourself wandering in BGC at night or early in the morning, The Bowery is the place to go! #ZomatoPH #yummiez #ForTheLoveOfFood

Great food! A bit on the expensive side and some servings are a bit small.

The hanger steak has a good meaty taste without any frills, which is how I like my steak. However, it wasn't served hot enough and it cooled down fast. The mac and cheese is surprisingly really tasty! The linguini with clams and mussels is really good but lacked noodles. Their sweet potato fries and french fries should be ordered as well.

I would definitely go back to taste their other dishes. Plus they have happy hour from 5-8pm!

The first time I noticed about this-you can't come in not wearing pants. Malamok. Period. Okay, now that I've got it out of my system, let's proceed with the place. Very plain and not much for group people and I'm not sure if their best hour is in the morning. Okay now that is settled. Let's move to food.

I have added the photos (courtesy of my friend Rhieza) that we ordered and I am gonna review each one. The Buttermilk Chicken Waffles are so big. So it's good. I got surprise wth the price though. Anyway, count it to experience. Next, my friends ordered the ff:

spanglish blt
roasted sundried tomato baked ziti
classic mac&cheese with bacon
Buttermilk waffles
pasta bolognese
brioche toast

hahahaha! We ordered and tasted them all but for me, the best one is the Mac&Cheese. The bacon and toasted cheese (I guess) are so worth it so kudos to my next friend Sarah. The Pasta Bolognese tastes...uhm Pasta Bolognese. What colored us surprise was the Brioche Toast. The softest and creamiest bread I've ever tasted. Mas malambot pa sa Gardenia (bwahahaha!). All in all, sulit ang price so if I'm gonna be asked again to eat here-I am gonna say yes.

Reminiscent of the City That Never Sleeps, those that brought us Borough, Nolita, and L.E.S. Bagels, The Bowery definitely makes its mark for the simple but bustling night life we all deserve in Manila. With its 24 hours concept, New York industrial inspired interiors and structure, one can never go wrong by ending their day here.

We ordered a Spicy Black bean cake Napoleon. It was a bit hard to figure out what the dish was about. It had many different components, some bland, some spicy. Luckily we shared the dish, so each person took what they like. The dish that we liked more was Salmon Mascarpone Bowtie. The salmon pieces were cooked just right, very juicy and fresh. We also liked the Arugula and Goat Cheese salad. The dressing was very tasty. The dessert, death by chocolate, was ok but not very special. Overall, the food was cooked well. The price was a little bit on the high side.

Ate here for a department dinner and was surprised we even fit in the second floor! Very true when they advocate for comfort food -- from the appetizer to the mains, the dishes ooze with not-so-healthy-but-delicious goodness. The mac and cheese was a great way to start the night, complimented well by their clam chowder. The short rib grilled cheese is the bomb, the taste exploding in my mouth. Not the biggest fan of their greek salad, as I hate arugula on them. The chicken with polenta is also a great addition to the set.

They have the best eggs ever! I like the ambience and the location. The only thing that bothered me when I went here with the mom and brother of my partner, we noticed that they don't care what white guys do. There's a time where customers could only smoke on the second floor. A white girl went out and smoke just infront of the signage saying it's not allowed to smoke up to the time which I think is 9 or 10pm, I'm not really sure. And so, this white girl finished smoking and went back to the bar.. A filipino woman came out and tried to light a cigarette and she was notified by the waiter that she's not allowed to smoke. The thought here is the equal treatment of service for each and every customers. I was just disappointed by how they treat white skinned person versus our own kind. It's funny though very disappointing.

We went there late night Saturday. Directly went to the bar section upstairs. Place is cool with a terrace section too.
We asked for their signature cocktails: cucumber smash was very good, though it's more an afternoon drink than an evening one! Lemon Basil Martini was fantastic! Also tried the downtown mule, which is a nice variant of the mule. It's a long drink with absolute vanilla and ginger beer.
Just had one appetizer since we wanted to go to Recovery for Arroz Caldo later! We tried the Swedish Chicken Meatballs which was very flavorful with bleu cheese filling.
Be back to taste the other food Bowery is developing a reputation for!

THE BOWERY is Chef Cuit Kaufman's American Bistro Pub concept, which serves fine New York Comfort Food inspired by the chic Bowery Street in New York. It's a "Higher-end Borough" that aims to answer the need of foodies for better quality food in Manila. It's also a great venue to hold meetings during the off-peak hours.

Here's what we like so far at Bowery...

THE BOWERY is located near the Burgos Area in Bonifacio Global City, in the former location of Basilio's.

Most of the items on the menu look very enticing, but the drink list still needs to be developed some more. 

Had a great chat with Chef Cuit (together with blogger friend, Pao Nazario) about his restaurants' evolution and the story behind Bowery.

I love the floor to ceiling windows with a view of Mind Museum and the streets outside.

BOWERY by Chef Cuit

The second floor is also a great spot for meet-ups. Here I am with my blogger friend Carlo Lorenzo of Crispy Pata at Kare Kare with Einj Santos.

The second floor transforms into a busy bar area at night...

...with an al fresco veranda overlooking the street that becomes a smoking section from 10pm onwards.

Cucumber Smash (P220 +10% service charge).

A refreshing starter made from cucumber, vodka, and a bit of soda.

LOBSTER SHRIMP TRUFFLE MAC AND CHEESE (P1,200 +10% service charge). Creame Fraiche, Cream Cheese, Cracked Black Pepper, Garlic, Mozzarella, Truffle Oil. 
I had second thoughts ordering this since it costs P1,200+, but most foodies who've tried it have raved about it.

I love its rich cheesy flavor, with a generous amount of truffle oil and big chunks of lobster and shrimp in a big serving size. Very good indeed, especially when hot. This definitely did not disappoint.

LINGUINI WITH MUSSELS AND CLAMS (P380 +10% service charge). White Wine, Roasted Tomatoes, Garlic, Chiles, Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Served in a bowl with good portions of mussels and clam, mixed with garlic, olive oil, and white wine for flavor.

BOWERY BURGER (P860 +10% service charge). Kitayama Wagyu Blend 6 Oz All Beef Patty, Cooked Medium Rare, Aged Cheddar Cheese, Vine Ripened Tomato, Pickled Red Onion, Brioche Bun, Sweet Potato or French Fries.

The burgers are always good at Chef Cuit's restaurants. This comes with a thick, all-beef wagyu patty and generous toppings.

BOWERY by Chef Cuit

"For the main dish, I had the Bowery Burger. It’s beef patty is made of Kitayama wagyu blend. It’s supposed to taste like steak in burger form. I had the mistake of ordering this medium well, so it turned out a bit dry, but tasty nonetheless. I recommend you have this prepared medium rare so it will remain juicy." - Carlo Lorenzo of Crispy Pata at Kare-Kare | THE BOWERY NYC

SHORT RIB GRILLED CHEESE (P420 +10% service charge). Braised Beef, Yellow Cheddar Cheese, Monterey Jack, Caramelized Onions, on Sourdough Bread. Served with Honey Mustard and Potato Chips.

Really good grilled cheese with very tender short rib beef, melted cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack, and sweet caramelized onions. The serving size was so big that I could only finish one slice and had to bring the second slice home.

The servers are very pleasant and try to ensure they give you the best dining experience.

BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN AND WAFFLES (P610 +10% service charge). Sage White Gravy, Pure Maple Syrup. 
The chicken was crispy fried on the outside but very juicy on the inside. The waffle though was already swimming in the pure maple syrup, which is good, but you might want to have it on the side.

What makes this chicken awesome is the creamy sage white gravy sauce. :)

SKILLET CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE SUNDAE (P350 +10% service charge). Freshly Baked Cookie, Vanilla Ice Cream, Hot Fudge Sauce, Whip Cream, Wet Nuts. 

Their dessert line-up is very rich but also very good. We ordered this freshly baked cookie sundae. Make sure you ask for the cookie to be served medium so you have a soft chewy inside and a crunchy outside. It's hard to resist this. :) 

The Bowery is another winning concept from the ChefCuit Kaufman group of restaurants. :)  

A feel-good resto, you come here to celebrate or if you just want to truly enjoy good food with good foodie company. This should also be an awesome dessert place, especially when they go 24x7 soon.

I recommend the Lobster Shrimp Truffle Mac and Cheese, Short Rib Grilled Cheese, Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Waffles, and Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae. Budget P1,000/head.

Share your favorites from The Bowery in the comments section.
