Normally, we order salads as an appetizer or something to balance out a very rich meal. But these days, salads aren’t just a boring bowl of greens and random vegetables, they can actually serve as the main dish and fill you up. If you find yourself looking for a healthy and delicious meal, plenty of restaurants offer crave-worthy salads that will actually make you happy and satisfy you. Whether you’re out and about or ordering in at home, here are restaurants and salad-centric stores in Manila that you need to add to your must-try list:
There’s no doubt that when it comes to Jollibee, one of Filipinos’ and fans’ favorite items on the menu is the beloved Peach Mango Pie. That pocket of real-fruit goodness will always be popular no matter the season, and it’s never going away.
In fact, it’s so good and well-loved that Jollibee is even taking it to another level: after public demand for a version that can be enjoyed at a much grander scale, the brand is introducing the new Large Peach Mango Pie!
Yes, that’s right—the Large Peach Mango Pie is everything you love about the original Peach Mango Pie, but bigger for bigger appetites. It’s still got that real peach and mango fruit that makes the most delightful filling inside that unmistakably satisfying crispy golden pie crust, only there’s more of it to enjoy!
“At Jollibee, we’re all about making people happy with their favorite food. With the introduction of the Large Peach Mango Pie, we found an opportunity in which we could make one of our most popular menu items, the Peach Mango Pie, into something that retains its iconic goodness and crispiness, but giving customers a bigger flavor experience,” said Bea Bediones, Jollibee Marketing’s Brand Manager for Pies.
The Jollibee Large Peach Mango Pie is available in all stores nationwide for only PHP 45 Solo, and PHP 132 for 3 Pies To-Go. Have it safely delivered to you via the Jollibee Delivery App, JollibeeDelivery.com, or #87000. Also available in Drive-Thru and Take Out!

Almost a year since its launch, Made in Bangkok has finally released their second set of menu with more flavorful dishes to boot! Now complete with appetizers, salad, and more seafood dishes that are perfect to pair with their coconut plain rice.
As mentioned, they have focused on the bounties of the sea with the Salmon Curry (P690/single; P1,360/tray) as the highlight. Served with their coconut plain rice, it has perfectly cooked fatty salmon swimming in rich and creamy red curry sauce with cherry tomato. There’s also the Sweet Chili Tiger Prawns (P720) that’s even more perfect after popping it in the air fryer for a few minutes. A serving has four jumbo tiger prawns tossed in fried basil sweet chili.
For something extra refreshing, the Prawn Pomelo Salad (P480) is a must-order. This has freshly poached prawns that are extra plump, served with Davao pomelo on top of fresh greens and fried shallots, served with a sweet and tart lime coconut dressing. We’re definitely starting a petition to bottle this dressing!
A great pica-pica option, or if you’re a rice eater is the Crispy Prawn Cakes (P430) which has finely chopped fresh prawns in tom yum paste and served with cucumber sweet chili and Thai nam phrik sauce. There’s also the Salmon Spring Rolls (P470) that’s an instant favorite. These are crispy fried salmon spring roll with homemade red curry, fresh garlic, and coriander.

Hey! I Am Yogost (Yogost), the proud maker of the bestselling classic yogurt and purple rice drink, officially launched its Alabang Town Center (ATC) branch last April 2022.
The launching of the ATC branch is a powerful testament to Yogost’s commitment to providing more delicious and healthy drink options to customers. Now, more people can enjoy specially made selections that can enrich satisfying pauses and meaningful moments with family, friends, and loved ones.
Located on the 2nd level, Expansion Wing of ATC, the new branch is Yogost’s sixth outlet in the Philippines, and it is set to become Yogost’s flagship store in the south metro area. It will be the central hub for the brand’s incredibly yummy drink options that Filipinos have enjoyed and loved over the past years – selections lovingly created to promote healthier and happier lifestyles.
Customers can freely order from the branch via in-store visits, the Yogost website – yogostph.com, or favorite delivery apps like GrabFood, FoodPanda, Pickaroo, and Kraver’s Canteen.
Key leaders and executives of Yogost Philippines hosted the launch, led by Justin Lim, who oversees the brand’s marketing efforts in the country. Representatives from the Ayala Malls group and notable influencer partners also graced the event with their presence, affirming their support for this important milestone.
In his address, Justin Lim said, “We are genuinely thrilled to open the ATC branch and start offering fresh drink experiences that allow our customers to experience the best of both worlds – great taste and good nutrition. Now that we are here, bigger and better, we invite everyone to visit and try out our fantastic selections. These will surely make you fall in love from the first sip!”

An addition to good and healthy food options in Manila, Sante is the newest restaurant under Visum Ventures, the group that brought Koomi, Manila’s favorite drinking yoghurt, to the Philippines. The company has always believed that healthy eating should not be bland and boring. Sante which means health in French and is often used as a toast to wellness, is the premium casual location for their Zig brand, known for their healthy dishes.
Upon entrance, you will notice the chic and cozy space which you can enjoy with their refreshingly healthy food that can take guests from brunch to cocktails. A few of their healthy breakfast options include their Signature Mini Croissant Cereal that has housemade mini croissants, fresh strawberries, edible flower, and made even more unique with the T2 Tea-infused Very Berry milk. If you want something more savory, the Mushroom & Truffle Sourdough is not one to be missed. It has fresh mushroom, drizzled with truffle oil and topped with fresh parsley on freshly toasted sourdough bread that is also made in-house.
An easy favorite of mine is their Tuna and Avocado Tartare. It’s extremely simple with only fresh tuna and avocado drizzled with sesame oil and topped with micro greens. They have more interesting signature dishes like the Pumpkin Risotto that is topped with goat cheese and balsamic glaze; the Chicken Marsala that has juicy chicken breast with cream and Marsala wine and topped with fresh mushrooms; and the Beef Pot Pie, a homey dish that will surely bring you comfort.
To end the meal, choose from their signature desserts. Start with Mike’s Mess which is Mike Hilton’s, Visum Ventures Group’s founder and CEO, take on the Eton Mess. It has fresh cream, strawberries, and passion fruit in a crunch meringue — it’s sweet, fresh, and has different textures you’ll be sure to enjoy. There’s also the Mango Crème Brulee Cheesecake that is delightfully light and airy, it is a T2 Tea Mangoes & Cream tea-infused cheesecake that has macadamia and almond dacquoise crumbs.
