Eat, pray, and love these 50+ restaurants open during Holy Week 2018

With most of its residents heading off somewhere for a vacation, Metro Manila transforms into a less crowded, (slightly) less traffic, and a much more breathable space during Holy Week. For those staying in town, shopping or dining in malls might not always be an option, as most will likely temporarily cease operations in observance of the Lenten season.

Though it’s a time for fasting and abstinence, you can’t deny some food for your body and soul. No need not worry since there are some compassionate establishments out there who plan to open even during Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Bring your hungry brood to any of these restaurants located around the metro.
