Big Plates for the Barkada

A slew of casual dining favorites for your favorite group of people.

Dining with your barkada is not always easy. With everyone’s varying tastes and preferences, agreeing on a meal comes almost as a challenge. So when getting the group together, we recommend casual and comfort food that guarantees an enjoyable dining experience for everyone (even the picky eaters!).

1. Peri-peri Charcoal Chicken

Peri-peri’s star has got to be their signature saucery. From Hen Dynasty’s Hoisin Sesame to Count Cluckula’s Garlic Brew, their chicken is offered with dozens of sauces you can blend together. Its roots can be traced to Portugal or Africa, but the same chargrilled perfection is offered in every plate. The set group meals feature chicken, ribs, and drinks.

2. Fireside by Kettle

Featuring quality comfort food, Fireside by Kettle is a nod to its sister restaurant. Leaning more on Asian flavors and spices, the menu is embedded by salads, burgers & sandwiches, and mains that are unique and fresh from the wood fire grill.

3. Giligan’s Seafood Island

Choose through the restaurant’s set group meal for all kinds of Filipino food cravings. The sets are penned after Filipino feats and places and features a boodle style banquet. Try the Mt. Apo that has Chicken Binakol, Steamed Crabs, Grilled Liempo, Steamed Shrimps and more seafood favorites for the ultimate boodle experience.

4. Racks

Southern Steak is always a good idea. At Racks, All-American favorites including ribs, chicken, and fish are offered for groups. Have Surf N’ Turf, Racks Ribs & Chicken, or Southern Favorites—you’re sure to leave full and satisfied.

Make sure to drop by the nearest SM Supermall near you for when you feel like craving ;)
