Leslie’s

Around Manila


Leslie's is the most famous of several large Filipino inahaw (grill) restaurants along the central ridge where you can sample tawili and bulalo. The standard servings are intended for groups of three to 10, which doesn't leave much choice for solo travellers or couples. The restaurant offers some outstanding lake views if you get a seat or hut at the back. It’s 1.8km west of the rotunda.
