Fast Food Restaurants in Manila

There are lots of reasonably priced small food stalls, J Bocobo St that sell Filipino snacks and meals. They are open daily from 8 am to 10 pm.

Rosie's Diner, MHdel Pilar St Ermita, is comfortable and always fairly full, in the style of a US snack-bar of the 1950s— all that's missing is the Wurlitzer. It is open all day every day and a meal costs from P 50 to P 75.

Shakey's Mabini, Mabini St, Ermita, sells pizzas with thick or thin dough, but their spaghetti is a bit dear. There is loud live music in the evenings. It is open daily from 11 am to 5 am.
