11 days to go till Christmas! My friends and I had our Christmas get-together at Cafe Ysabel. We called for reservations last 2 weeks ago, but it was already FULL. Luckily we were able to reserve this time. Happiness!

For over 25 years, Cafe Ysabel is still one popular restaurant in Metro Manila located in 455 P. Guevarra Street, San Juan .  It was opened by Chef Gene Gonzales when he was still 23 years old. And was visited by a lot of affluent and famous people like Bobby Chinn of World Cafe Asia and Tony Bourdain for his food and travel show, No Reservations.
