Ask people to describe the BGC dining scene, and you won’t hear anything similar to cheap. You’ll have more chances hearing adjectives along the lines of hip, busy and fancy.

Here are 8 affordable food spots both your belly and wallet will love.

Banapple’s claim to fame is their delicious selection of desserts—with their cheesecakes and pies being the stars. But before you satisfy your sweet tooth, warm your stomach with something savory first. You won’t be disappointed with their Lasagna Roll-ups, Chicken Parmigiano and Salpicao Rafael.

121’s straightforward, comforting take on Filipino cuisine has already gotten so many smitten. So much so that they already have five branches! So, gather the gang for a tasty, affordable feast. 121’s Pinoy Pride combo platter—with Lumpiang Shangai, Garlic Mushrooms and Calamares—is sure to please.
If you’re eating solo, go enjoy their lunchtime rice bowls: Bangus Sisig, Pork Sisig, Adobo Flakes and Chicken Teppanyaki. They’re all less than P200.

Because we can never have enough good Pinoy food, here’s another great source for it! Rekado is more refined than the first two mentioned, but it’s still very affordable. No visit is complete without devouring their Gising-gising—an absolute treat for those who love spicy food. Other must-tries are their Pinakbet, Tortang Talongganisa and Tahong Sisig.
