Every now and then, your work group chat most likely encounters the same slight problem: choosing where to eat. One person wants ramen, another is craving pasta, someone else is looking for a filling rice meal, and there’s always that friend who would happily skip straight to coffee and cake. With so many choices available, finding a spot that satisfies everyone can sometimes take longer than eating the meal itself.
Thankfully, Astoria-ACES already has a solution for that in the heart of Metro Manila.
A BGC Food Hall Designed for Varied Cravings
Located on the eighth floor of the NAC Tower, Astoria-ACES Food Journey brings together four distinct concepts under one roof, making it easy to mix and match cuisines. Whether the occasion is a quick lunch break, an after-work catch-up, or a spontaneous weekend meetup, the dining hall caters to diverse tastes while keeping everyone at the same table.
Filipino Comfort Food at #I.D.K. Inom. Drama. Kain.
For those who gravitate toward familiar flavors, #I.D.K. Inom. Drama. Kain. serves Filipino favorites built around hearty rice plates. Each combo comes with savory entrées, vegetables, and iced tea, creating a satisfying option that works well in the middle of a busy workday or during a relaxed lunch with friends.
Italian-Inspired Favorites at Soleggiato
Soleggiato offers another style of comfort through Italian-inspired dishes designed for sharing or savoring solo. The spaghetti with meatballs delivers a classic combination that remains a crowd favorite, while the baked Tuscan chicken pairs a creamy sauce with melted cheese for a rich, hearty meal.
Japanese Ramen and Noodle Dishes at Minami Saki Lite
For those drawn to warm bowls, Minami Saki Lite completes the selection with Japanese staples. Its tonkotsu ramen features a deeply flavored broth paired with tender toppings, while the shoyu variant offers a lighter take on the classic. Diners seeking a bowl with extra depth can also opt for the tantan niku miso.

No food crawl is complete without dessert, and Café Astoria finishes the experience with café staples made for slower afternoons and casual catch-ups. Its Ube Macapuno Cake immediately catches the eye with its vibrant purple layers and creamy filling, while the buttery croissant pairs naturally with a freshly brewed cup of coffee.
For anyone looking to add a new dining destination to their BGC rotation, this tucked-away food hall offers plenty of reasons to stay for another course—or at least one more cup of coffee.
