A breath of fresh air!
More people are coming out of isolation to experience the outside world again. Nonetheless, preventive measures are a must, which is why physical distancing, among other rules, is still being implemented especially within establishments. As such, to avoid huddling customers in a closed space, some restaurants are offering al fresco dining options. Al fresco restos have become quite the trend since the pandemic hit. So if you are looking for a nice place to eat but would appreciate an airy open space, here are some restaurants in Bonifacio Global City and Makati that offer outdoor dining.
