THE WHOLESOME TABLE - Metro Manila

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.

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.

The eggplant parmigiana is a must try!

Guilt-free Parmesan fries? Count me in!
