Where to Eat in Marikina: 10 Must-Try Restaurants in Marikina
The dining spots here are seriously Instagrammable!
The people who call Marikina home lead a more laid-back pace of life but still enjoy the benefits of city convenience — this is because this eastern valley, which is also widely recognized as the Shoe Capital of the Philippines, is a modern metropolis with a suburban charm. The balance between bustling areas and green spaces is commendable and downright impressive.
The city has seen significant progress in recent years. It’s been moving forward with developments while still honoring its rich history and tradition. Today, Marikina is rich in entrepreneurial ventures aside from its generations-old shoemaking industry—and that includes the food and beverage sector.
Because of this, dining spots have become increasingly plentiful in the city. From homegrown brands to family-owned restaurants, there’s something to delight every culinary craving.
Here are the best restaurants in Marikina City:
Hungry Homies
Address: 19 Walnut St., Marikina City
Operating Hours: Daily, 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 m.n.
There’s a reason why Hungry Homies has been the talk of the town when it introduced its now-famous juicy, mouthwatering burgers. What started as a thoughtful gesture of cooking and sending comforting and home-y cheeseburgers to family and friends in the thick of the pandemic became a business concept that is now offering the same feel-good delicious comfort to hungry foodies. Their Hypebeef—made with Cali-style cheeseburger with smashed beef patty, caramelized onions, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, American cheese, and Hungry Homies secret sauce served in a brioche bun—is, to put it simply, worth the hype.
