Notes:
  • located along Jupiter St., Makati City
  • casual dining 
  • Pipino caters to vegetarians & to those who simply want to enjoy their veggies
  • Vegetables & fruit dishes are prepared 'meaty-like' & very 'eye-ppetizing'
  • Pino, on the other hand, offers Filipino dishes with delightful twists (coffee crusted beef belly, red wine adobo tadyang, kare-kareng bagnet, etc.)
  • 'quotes' as wall decors are quite entertaining
  • service is good & the waiters are attentive
  • nice place to bring balik-bayan relatives & friends, though space is relatively small
  • a different dining experience
