Tomatito - La Ville de Bonifacio

I’m not such a fan of paella except here! Probably the ingredients they use, the way they cook it, the rice is just right, the sauce and toppings go well together. I love it.

My absolute favorite Spanish restaurant in the PH. No other Spanish restaurant in the area has tapas as good as this place. Favorites: Salmon TNT (Although a bit pricey now, it’s still a must try. An explosion of flavors that takes you on a nonstop tastebud trip to heaven Paella Del Chiringuito (their seafood paella is my fav Sangria (Heart. Eyes. Ham bombs (a good close second to the Salmon TNT Mini tenderloin steaks Fried baby squids (tiny tasty calamari :’ best served fresh. Don’t wait for it to get cold it’s less appetizing as leftovers. But still so tasty! Especially with some lemon their aioli Least favorite: Tuna TNT (it wasn’t terrible...just not our favorite We will DEFINITELY come back to try more.

This lively restaurant has been the second closest to my heart after Las Flores. I love how their salmon bombs were made. Sangria is just as good paired with their other bombas for appetizer. Happy hours here are the best after a long day at work. Wine of course is best paired with their paella and gambas. I love how this restaurant gives me a city-chic vibe.

LOVED the Salmon TNT, it’s truly an explosion of flavors in your mouth with the combination of salty salmon, creamy truffle, and the crisp pastry! The best. I can eat two plates of this next time! 10/10 The steak was okay. I think it lacked flavors and sana mas marami pa yung asparagus. For 1,200 the price is sulit but taste wise it’s just ok. 7/10 The crispy baby squid was not crispy at all. It was soggy and bland. Sana ma improve pa nila yung taste nito and yung pagka crispy niya. 6/10 Overall it was an okay dining experience. There were no people when we visited at 5 pm but maybe it’s also because of the outbreak in BGC. The staff were okay lang, sana mas attentive pa because I had to ask for my water three times before the guy finally remembered to serve it to me. Would return for the tapas and try the paella siguro, pass na for the steak.

2+2 on drinks! Tomatito lived up to its promise as a solid drinking place with its variety of selections. They offer customization for gin tonic and I chose a combination of Hendrick's (gin), schweppes (tonic), cucumber (fruit), cilantro (herb) and no spices. This was paired by meatballs packed with beefy flavor and crispy salty pork skin. Ask for bread because the dish tastes strong. Next, a glass of classic cocktail: bourbon (Pre-prohibition old fashioned), a musky and woody drink that goes so well with their churros, too good with two kinds of dips, chocolate and caramel. .
