HOLE IN THE WALL, MAKATI T
his swanky and Instagram-genic food court is the first of its kind here in the Metro. Currently one of the best places to eat and gather, HOLE IN THE WALL has something for everyone with its array of food concessionaires from your daily dose of sweets to Mexican food, from high-stacked sandwiches to healthy juices. Other than a good selection of food, they offer a homey setting with a combination of different chairs and tables, perfect for lengthy catchups with friends, lunch and dinner dates, or just killing time. The place was conceptualized by Charlie Paw and Dwight Co. and had its soft opening late last year, and from then, they kept getting much love from food trippers.
