As a full-time traveler constantly scouting out the absolute best plant-based eats around the globe, landing in the Philippines had me on a mission to find the ultimate vegan restaurants in Manila.
Tucked away on a cozy, tree-lined street in Makati, I found Green Bar.
This local favorite isn’t just another dining spot; it's a total vegan sanctuary and a must-visit destination for anyone looking for the best vegan cafe and deli experience in the middle of a bustling city.
Cozy Vibes & Killer Menus
Stepping into the interior, the first thing you notice is how welcoming and calm the atmosphere is.
It’s a beautifully styled, Instagrammable retreat that instantly makes you want to sit down and stay a while.
When you flip through the menu, you realize they are doing things differently here.
They make their own vegan meats, cheeses, and sauces completely in-house.
It’s an extensive, mouth-watering lineup of heavy-hitting comfort foods—ranging from breakfast burritos and gourmet donuts to massive, savory burgers.
The Main Event: The Wild Thing Bacun Cheeseburger
Let’s talk about the real reason we are here: the Wild Thing Bacun Cheeseburger.
This thing is a masterpiece.
It features a perfectly grilled, juicy plant-based patty topped with their incredible house-made "bacun" and gooey, melted vegan cheese.
One bite and you completely forget you’re eating 100% plant-based food.
It hits every single comfort-food craving with flawless texture and smoky, savory flavor.
It is a mandatory order for anyone visiting Manila, vegan or not.
Wine Down Wednesdays
If you happen to time your visit right, you can catch their Wine Down Wednesdays.
Green Bar boasts a full bar with a fantastic selection of vegan-friendly wines and happy hour cocktails.
It’s the perfect mid-week excuse to relax, enjoy a glass of wine, and pair it with some of the best vegan comfort food in Southeast Asia.
Green Bar is an absolute must-visit.
Between the cozy interior, the friendly staff, and that unbeatable burger, it checks every single box for the ultimate travel food experience.
You can find this paradise located at 106 Aguirre Street, Legaspi Village, Makati, Manila.
