FOR THE ARTSY
Pinto Art Museum
1 Sierra Madre Street, Grand Heights Subdivision, San Roque, Antipolo City, Rizal
www.pintoart.org
Open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Admission fee is at P250
Pinto Art Museum houses a number of art galleries, all separated by a series of doorways—you won't even notice which way is out or which way is in. All that matters is that the doors lead from one welcoming art space to another, thus the name. The structure was designed by architect Antonio Leano after art collector Joven Cuanang expressed his desire to build a place where he could exhibit his acquisitions and showcase Philippine art. Besides local art pieces, there are a number of pocket gardens with outdoor chairs and sofas, perfect for spending a relaxing afternoon.
Crescent Moon Café and Studio Pottery
Sapang Buho Road, Barangay Dalig, Antipolo City, Rizal

Open from Wednesday to Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Recreate that famous Patrick Swayze-Demi Moore scene from Ghost (or maybe not—because of social distancing and all) at this café-slash-pottery studio in Antipolo. After a fun pottery workshop, you can feast on their farm-to-table Southeast Asian fusion dishes like the Alagao Appetizer—which has been on their menu for 23 years—Steamed Pompano with Nuoc Cham Sauce, or your dessert of choice among Suman at Mangga, Suman a la Mode, Suman Itim, and Suman at Tsokolate.

Customers have to go through a narrow staircase that leads to an underground restaurant with huge windows, drop ceiling lights, colorful chairs, and rustic tables. The cozy ambience close to nature (with a river nearby) encourages diners to linger after a meal. Drop by for brunch to start your romantic weekend.

Tahanan Bistro, as the name suggests, looks like a traditional Filipino home. It's a family-run business built from reclaimed wood salvaged from old houses and bridges. Wood sculptor and furniture maker Benji Reyes designed the place and also happens to be the owner. Don't miss their take on the binagoongan or crispy pork belly in rich tomato puree and shrimp paste. They've capped seating at 10 people at a time for an exclusive experience.
