I’ve got more late night eating spots in my latest article, 50 Restaurants in Try in Metro Manila Before 2015 Ends.
Ultimate Guide to Late Night Eating Spots & 24 Hour Restaurants in “Metro” Manila
I think we’re living in period in time where there’s no longer the concept of being too early or staying out too late at night. And it’s because our way of living is constantly changing. We have jobs that are on different timezones, and breakfast, lunch and dinner meals may mean differently for a person working on a Europe timezone. For an average individual, there will be occasions when McDonalds no longer satisfies an early breakfast before a red eye flight.
I created this list mainly to give you more dining options, less of North Park’s wonton noodle soup. Whether you just came out of late night circuit training, or had an all-nighter system migration with your team, or you don’t want the day to end just yet, there’s a restaurant in every part of “Metro” Manila, wherever you are.
And as usual, here’s a map of late night restaurants in “Metro” Manila worth bookmarking. 🙂
In no particular order, here are the late night eating spots and 24 hour restaurants in “Metro” Manila:

Who doesn’t know Recovery Food? Almost everyone guilty of having a hangover last Friday night. Tapa de Morning is the perfect excuse not to be embarrassed for checking in at Recovery Food. It’s too good to pass as only as cure for hangover.
2. Hassan Kabab and Steaks
Opening Hours: 24/7 Restaurant
Locations: 9 Visayas Avenue, Project 6, Quezon City; Katipunan Avenue Corner Rajah Matanda Street, Blue Ridge, Quezon City

For the people in Quezon City, there will always be the ever reliable Hassan Kabab and Steaks. From Sizzling Keema to Beef Shawarma, it won’t burn a hole in your pocket. And yes, it’s opened for 24 hours.
3. Mister Kabab
Opening Hours: 24/7 Restaurant
Locations: 95A West Avenue,West Triangle, Quezon City
Telephone Number: 02 2632736
I have no idea why Persian cuisine here in Manila seems have taken a liking for opening in wee hours of the night, but this particular branch of Mister Kabab at West Triangle is opened for 24 hours to delight you with your favourite Beef Shawarma, much like Hassan Kabab.
4. Kanto Freestyle Breakfast
Opening Hours: 24/7 Restaurant
Locations: 6 Aquillina Corner Col. Divino Street, Santo Niño, Marikina City;1st Street, Kapitolyo, Pasig City; 549 Joaquin Street, Plainview, Mandaluyong City; Intrepid Plaza, E. Rodriguez Jr. Avenue, Libis, Quezon City

Everyone’s favourite breakfast joint is now Kanto Freestyle Breakfast. Fast, affordable and comfort food meals await you at the unpretentious Kanto Freestyle Breakfast. And yes, that spanish sardines tempura is available for 24 hours a day. Don’t you love something for a change?

Telephone Number: 02 5334811

Bamboo walls. Monobloc. No A/C. This is the scene at R&J Bulalohan in Mandaluyong, or as residents call it, RJ’s Bulalohan. And yet people flock this place to cap the night with a hot bowl of Special Bulalo soup. For P99 you can get their set meals and find your stomach contented and happy.
6. Sinangag Express

Locations: 77 Dagonoy Street, beside De La Salle University, Malate, Manila; Full list of branches
Facebook: Sinangag Express
Official Website: www.sinangagexpress.com

Students at Taft Avenue love Sinangang Express or as best known for its humorous nickname, “SEx”. At Sinangang Express, the ambience is very much similar to RJ’s Bulalohan, but their affordable Bangusilog, Longsilong, Embutido – I can go on and on about this place’s spot on meals that are undoubtedly Filipino. And did you know they also deliver those hot silog meals? Check out this link for their hotline numbers: http://www.sinangagexpress.com/delivery.php
Candid Cuisine Tip: Running out of juice? Stay online with a power bank even at midnight.
7. Beni’s Falafel – 24 hours, Poblacion Makat

Locations: 4364 B. Valdez Street,Poblacion, Makati City
Telephone Number: +63 9063491300
Facebook: Beni’s Falafel

For the residents in Makati, it’s not always the Old Swiss Inn for late night cravings. Falafels here in Manila aren’t as mainstream as that in Israel, but Beni’s Falafel, ranked #2 out of 949 restaurants in TripAdvisor, is that undisputed monopoly in our hearts when it comes to Falafals. Pair this with Babaganoush but go easy with with the all the yogurt sauces and spices if you don’t want to frequent the restroom from time to time.
8. Filling Station

9. Borough

The Borough in Podium is popular for those working in the vicinity of Ortigas to curb their American cuisine cravings and to go on a bender night after a stressful work day.

Here are more restaurants opened until 2:00am, in case you want to extend your bender night… But not too late. Yue Lai has that amazing Crispy Pork with Raspberry Sauce that’s their original recipe, and Wai Ying is well, Wai Ying. That legendary Chinese dim sum restaurant is opened until 1:30am in their branch at Taft avenue, though it isn’t as awesome as its branch in Binondo.

Reader’s Recommendation: Staple and Perk Bakery and Cafe
Opening Hours: 24/7
Telephone Number: (02) 925 1122
Location: Ecoplaza Building, 2306 Pasong Tamo Extension, Pasay City, Philippines
Facebook: Staple and Perk Bakery
I have to give credit to one of the readers, Anson, who recommended Staple and Perk Bakery and Cafe that’s opened for 24 hours. It’s nice to see a bakery opened for 24 hours and we’re not limited to pandesal. From eclairs to Peanut Butter toasts to Ice Blended Perks, this is a great game changer to the realm of 24 hour establishments opened.
People have their own preferences and tastebuds. There are exceptions to every technicality. But in the spirit of happy eating, this list exists as a GUIDE, so let’s not be too “strict” if I didn’t include Shakey’s, McDonald’s or North Park here just because I said it’s the “Ultimate Guide”.
