COCONUTS HOT SPOT – Tired of your usual after-work spots in the Ortigas area? Here’s something you can add to your regular rotation.
For your next dinner out with friends, we suggest Industrie Food Loft in City Golf. It’s a hip 300-square-meter dining space with 12 interesting food stalls, and a beverage bar offering unique coolers and spiked drinks (yay!).
Yes, it’s airconditioned but there are also picnic tables outside if you prefer to dine al fresco.
What makes it special? Industrie boats of well-curated food. It features aspiring chefs who don’t have an avenue to showcase their dishes. There’s something for everyone — from Japanese streetfood to third-wave coffee, from Kansi to good ol’ fried chicken.
