THE WHOLESOME TABLE - Metro Manila

Taking over Aria's space, Wholesome is about organic food. Try their Powerbowls, I had the Enlightened one - yup that's what they call their menu items, a tad goofy: it's black rice topped with raw fresh vegetables, and lightly fried tofu drizzled with a teriyaki-like dressing. The tiramisu is too understated for my taste, but their potato bread rolls are quite the starter. We also had the pasta with basil, tomato and salmon - very fresh and refreshing. Stop by the ATM, it's not cheap.

Our waiter alfred knows the ingredients in the sauce used when i asked hin why a certain item wasn't vegan. Excellent ambiance, great healthy food, lots of vegetarian options.

The menu is packed with healthy options from breakfast up to desserts, they also got a kids menu and wide variety of alcohol, which makes them a choice for customer of any age. I've visited them twice and I will surely come back to enjoy more of their dishes.One of my favorite was the Salmon Ceviche, perfect for red wine.

The eggplant parmigiana is a must try!

Guilt-free Parmesan fries? Count me in!
