By locals,
for the city.
Restaurants Quezon City is an independent directory and editorial publisher covering 660+ active dining venues across 32 neighbourhoods in Quezon City, Philippines. Founded in 2018 and operated by a local editorial team, we publish verified listings, ratings, and area guides so you can choose a restaurant with confidence, not guesswork.
Our mission
Restaurants QC exists to make Quezon City dining easier to navigate: clear areas, honest filters, and guides written for people who actually eat out here — not optimised for ad clicks or affiliate commissions.
Quezon City has one of the most varied dining scenes in Metro Manila, spread across 32 distinct neighbourhoods from Banawe's Chinese food corridor to the student cafés of Maginhawa and the mall clusters of SM North EDSA and TriNoma. Our job is to organise that variety into something usable. Whether it is a weeknight dinner, a family celebration, or a quick bite between errands, we want you to find a place that fits — without wading through noise.
Our story
We started in 2018 as a local food blog covering specific restaurants and neighbourhoods. Over time, readers kept asking for a way to browse and compare — not just read individual reviews. That need drove us toward building a structured directory, so readers could move from inspiration to a concrete address, verified hours, and a map link in one place.
Today the directory covers 660+ operational venues across Quezon City, from heritage institutions like The Aristocrat and Max's Restaurant to newer openings in Eastwood and UP Town Center. We add listings when restaurants open, mark them closed when they shut, and update hours when they change — usually within days of a reader flag or a verification check.
How we review
Listings and guides follow the same baseline: accuracy first, then usefulness. We do not accept payment for inclusion or placement.
On-the-ground visits
Editorial picks and neighbourhood guides come from real visits — ordering the food, timing the service, noting the price-to-value ratio, and assessing what is worth a return trip. We do not rely on press releases or hosted meals for our editorial take.
Data verification
Hours, addresses, phone numbers, and external links are cross-checked against maps, official pages, and direct contact when needed. When something drifts — a relocated branch, a changed schedule — we correct it.
Aggregated ratings
Star ratings displayed on listings reflect aggregated public review data, not our editorial score. We show both so you can see the crowd signal and our take separately, without conflating them.
Corrections
If you spot an error — wrong hours, closed restaurant, incorrect address — use the Contact page or the report button on a listing. We fix what we can verify, typically within 48 hours of a confirmed change.
