Manila

Small restaurant located in the shade of a big tree (hence its name) that serves delicious vegetarian food. Here, we like natural things: fresh vegetables, healthy preparations, friendly staff, all in a cosy and simple atmosphere. The house serves generous vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes that will delight even carnivores. The menu is varied and inspired by all the cuisines of the world: teriyaki tofu, vegetable couscous, spaghetti and lasagna, tofu and nut burger, Mediterranean salad, soups and sandwiches.

Here's an address that feels good in Manila's somewhat monotonous culinary landscape: a vegan restaurant, yes, but a Filipino restaurant nonetheless! When it opened in 2018, Cosmic had at heart to make vegetarian cuisine accessible to Filipinos so unused to not eating meat. And the bet is successful since the place (which has since become 100% vegan) is always full and a second address has opened in Pasig. On the menu, the classics revisited and delicious!
