Explore SM City Grand Central
Right at Monumento, SM City Grand Central pulses with big-city energy. Inside, you’ll find everything you need for a full day of shopping, dining, and leisure.

At the very top, you’ll find the Skylight Park, a lush indoor oasis bathed in natural light. More than an indoor garden, it’s a space where you can sip coffee at cozy cafés, let kids enjoy fun play areas, or pause for a quiet moment at the chapel. It’s the kind of spot that makes you forget you’re in the middle of the city.

For cinephiles, Director’s Club Cinemas are a must! Think plush recliner seats, crisp laser projection, and immersive Surround 7.1 sound that transforms every screening into a premium experience.

When hunger strikes, the SM Grand Central restuarants has flavors that take you around the world while staying close to home. Dig into the rich, savory comfort of Mangan’s heirloom Kapampangan dishes, from crispy pork sisig to creamy kare-kare that tastes like home. Over at Wangfu, the aroma of steaming dim sum and wok-tossed favorites invites you in, perfect with a side of fried rice or noodles that pack just the right amount of heat. And if you’re craving Korean, BB.Q Chicken delivers golden, crispy chicken glazed in bold, addictive sauces that beg to be paired with an ice-cold drink. Every bite here is a reason to linger longer.
