What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Restaurante Arsenio Manila offers a unique fusion of Spanish and Asian cuisines in a visually appealing beachfront setting. While many praise the excellent food quality, attentive service, and vibrant atmosphere, some diners have experienced disappointment with inconsistent food preparation and slow service. The unique decor and well-crafted cocktails are often highlighted as positives, but a few reviews point to issues with food preparation, particularly with rice dishes and seafood.
"Visited twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. The food was great, staff lovely and I really liked the vibe of the whole place. Reasonable pricing as well."
Jack Henley
"We were so disappointed with the service and the food of this restaurant. We ordered the rice special but half of it was stuck/burnt on the pan. We informed the server and she said that’s how it’s served there. We have had rice numerous times in Cadiz and never had have to scrape burnt rice from the pan. We could not and would not recommend this restaurant."
Diana Calero
"Being from North America the food was very similar to trendy spots we are used to. The only difference was that some dishes are offered as tapas. The highlight was a drink they called Esmeralda which is a mocktail. The drink tasted amazing. The presentation of the food and the decor of the restaurant was amazing. The staff were all really attentive and kind also."
