We found 10 plant-based spots in BGC Manila that actually hit your protein goals.
After almost a month in the Philippines, Ivy and I have eaten our way through BGC and we are not sorry about it.
Here are our top 10 favorites:
1. Jamba Juice – high protein smoothies for $5
2. Mango Tree – tofu stir fry with cashews that we ordered basically every day
3. Din Tai Fung – Michelin quality for $30 vs $100+ back home
4. Salad Stop – build your own high protein wrap on the go
5. Batala – traditional Filipino food, fully plant-based, in old Manila
6. Pharmacist – Filipino classics made entirely vegan
7. Green Bar – fully vegan with a breakfast burrito that hits
8. Wholesome Table – farm to table Buddha bowl and hummus plates
9. Carrotin Gelato – yes, fully plant-based gelato exists here and yes we shared one
10. Harlan and Holden – the smoothest, strongest coffee we have ever had
The best part? Eating plant-based here costs a fraction of what it does back home. Two 30oz protein smoothies for $10. A full Thai dinner for $28. Din Tai Fung for $30.
You do not have to sacrifice nutrition, protein, or flavor when you travel. You just have to know where to look.
