`San Juan`

Cafe Ysabel, one of Manila’s oldest restaurants, announced the closure of its San Juan location after more than four decades of operation, with hints of a future reopening. The closure marks the end of a culinary landmark in Metro Manila, affecting food enthusiasts and longtime patrons in Quezon City and nearby areas who valued its historic Filipino-Spanish cuisine. The San Juan restaurant is closing permanently, but the management teased a ‘new chapter’; no specific reopening date or new location has been announced yet.
