tapas are good. vast selection of wine is commendable. thanks for the great service.
On our way to BGC, we can’t decide where to eat so I opened my Zomato app and searched restaurants in Shangri-La the fort and One Bonifacio HS. I wanted to drink some wine and opted for filipino dish. Luckily, I saw Planet Grapes with 2+2 on drinks. Zomato quickly reserved us a table with no hassle at all. Entering the restaurant, the Host greeted us and offered the reserved table but I requested for another vacant table. Our server gave the menu and he was very knowledgeable suggesting which wine was good for the food we ordered. All our food was delicious and served on time. Some of our personal favorites were the Tenderloin Salpicao skewers and grilled Pork Chops. Definitely, we will come back again. It was a night to remember.
Staff really accommodated us even late into the night and were polite with everything. I came here desperately wanting food (after being turned away by three other restaurants that say they’re open till 12!). Thankfully Planet Grapes still opened their doors for us and did not make us feel like a nuisance even though we’re the only one left dining. 💓
We had our family dinner there to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
We saw the menu here at Zomato and got interested. We have some teenaged nieces and nephews with us so my sister had to go call and make sure they’re allowed to dine in since we had this impression that Planet Grapes (from the name) is more of a bar than a restaurant.
We didn’t regret our decision to try and dine here. Though a bit pricey, food was awesome. Everything we ordered were very satisfying. Budget I guess would be P800-P1000 per head.
We loved their Potato Chips, Fish and Chips, Sausage Platter, Mexican Corn and Onion Rings
Highly Recommended:
Their Sisig was P245 per serving and it was quite a small servings but taste was really good. We had to order 3 servings for us to be satisfied.
Tenderloin Salpicao was served in skewers, 2 skewers per serving at P390 per serving. This one’s so tender and tasty. So so good!
Grilled Porchop was served with the bones and it was so juicy and tender. A bit pale but taste was very very good. Each serving costs P390.
Would love to go back here.
Baboy, Bagoong, Singkamas, at Mangga or “BBSM” for short is one of the best classic Filipino street food with a blend of sweet and sour that can easily whet your appetite. The combination is skillful and I imagine the dish tasting even better with smaller shrimps for a more concentrated flavor.
Planet Grapes Street Food Platter deserves more attention. It’s composed of Chorizo de Cebu, Vigan longganisa, garlic bangus longganisa, squid balls, kwek-kwek, and chicken skin. Everything is good on its own. This is the best entree to share with a bunch of friends. You go from zero to feeling-more-like-a-real-person in just a few bites.
Planet Grapes Sisig is always a good choice. It can stand as an appetizer or a hearty meal served with extra rice. PG Sisig is crispy pork mask served sizzling with a fresh organic egg and a refreshing tomato salsa. Tastes and textures are spot on. There’s a great hit of salt and crunch from the pork parts.
The mains aren’t too groundbreaking, but it’s impossible to fault well-cooked dishes. Beautifully prepared, all these entrees have harmonious tastes that fascinate the palate.
At Planet Grapes, you’d want to end your meal with a bang. I’ll say YES to any of these yummy desserts any day: Planet Grapes Leche Flan (PhP 150) – silky and dense leche flan made from carabao’s mil and Turon Trilogy (PhP 165) – filo pastry wrapped sweet plantains and ube halaya resting on a bed of preserved jackfruit coulis.
The difficult part is when you’re pressured to choose only one of the desserts here. When that happens, I recommend to go with the Sapin-sapin with Salted Egg Sauce. It’s unique, somewhat addictive, and has a very appealing quality to it. Their version of sapin-sapin is unorthodox and unabashedly bold. It works together ingeniously with the salted egg sauce, truly one of a kind. 🙂
Lots of really great wine options! We got the Sand Point sauvignon blanc and Sand Point pinot noir. Both were really good! Likewise, ambiance was great
This early into the review, allow me to say that my Planet Grapes experience was unforgettable (not to mention, informative). The presence of the positively loquacious Executive Chef Chris Leaning from UK added to that worthwhile food event. He was patient with us clueless foodies as to pairings of wines to the dishes available in the menu. And to that we are thankful for.
Speaking of dishes, the ones served that afternoon were truly exceptional but the Sausage Platter and the English Fish and Chips stood out. The platter was a collection of lip-smacking international sausages served with wholegrain mustard and creamy coleslaw while the fish dish was made of crispy beer-battered fresh Lapu-lapu fillet with special tartar sauce and malt vinegar. Fantastic.
Another of Chef Chris’ triumphs were the Fried Fishcakes of lightly-blended creamed potato, poached fish and parsley coated in breadwinner and the Scotch Egg Salad which was soft boiled egg enrobed in homemade pork sausage flavored with sage. Light and perfect starters.
At the end of the foodie meet-up, we were served two desserts: Warm Apple and Cinnamon Crumble served with Vanilla Crème Anglaise and the Mango Souffle Cheesecake, no-bake mango cheesecake topped with papaya and ginger compote. Both are new menu items and both are simply, again, unforgettable. Congratulations.
Nice ambience, good service and delicious food.
The most i love from this place, they have many type wine collection.

another thing, they’ve got new-on-the-menu food offerings that goes so well w/ the exciting elixirs. my best pairings are:
. gentil hugel (alsace white) + pāté maison
. gewürztraminer (white) + english fish n chips
. conveto da vila (portugal red) + sausage platter
. mourvèdre (red) + flourless choc and almond cake
Upped their sapin-sapin game by drizzling salted egg cream sauce over it. Best paired with white wine. Yum!
