Apartment 1B is the brainchild of Chef Marivic Diaz-Lim, a renowned chef known for being one of the pioneers of the gourmet comfort-food genre in the Philippines. The BGC outpost of Apartment 1B is the fourth branch of the group. The restaurant is known for serving classic all-day breakfast eats like omelettes and avocado toast. If you remember, they even made our Top 10 list for the best eggs benedict in the Metro back in 2015.  Along with the brunch fare, lunch and dinner meals are also served in the likes of Herb Crusted Salmon (P890), Mango BBQ Chicken (P650), Steak Frites(P3,750), and other hearty and filling eats.
