Best Centris Restaurants — Eton Centris & EDSA-Quezon Ave, QC
Eton Centris at EDSA corner Quezon Avenue is an underrated dining stop between the city and northern QC. Here are the restaurants worth knowing if you work or commute through the area.
Eton Centris sits at EDSA corner Quezon Avenue — a commuter intersection that most QC diners drive past rather than stop at. That is mostly fair: Centris is a practical dining destination for people who work or live nearby, not a destination you plan a food trip around. But if you are already in the area and want a proper sit-down meal without fighting traffic to Tomas Morato, it delivers.
The MRT connection (EDSA-Quezon Ave station) makes it more accessible than most QC dining strips — useful context if you are coming from Makati or Mandaluyong and do not want to add another 30 minutes to the drive. Browse the Centris directory for every listing with ratings and hours.
Best picks
Sit-down dining
Centris has a handful of proper sit-down restaurants covering Filipino and casual international cuisine. The options change as the mall evolves, so checking current tenants on the Eton Centris directory or Facebook page before a visit saves disappointment if a specific spot has closed or moved.
Fast casual
The bulk of Centris dining is fast casual — the major chains are present and the food court handles quick meals efficiently. Good for a lunch between meetings, less ideal for a dinner where you want table service and atmosphere.
Practical tips
- MRT first: The Quezon Avenue MRT station walkway makes this one of QC's more car-optional dining stops. If you are coming from along EDSA, the MRT is genuinely faster than driving and parking.
- Best use case: Centris works best as a convenient stop — post-commute dinner, a quick lunch during errands along EDSA, or a practical meeting point between north and south QC. It is not the place to plan a special meal around.
- Nearby alternatives: If Centris does not have what you are looking for, Tomas Morato is a 10-minute drive north, and the Timog area adds more options in the same direction.
