If it´s your first time to dine in this Spanish restaurant, you should try their Pintxos – Gaudi´s version of tapas, Paellas - try their bestseller Paella de Cordero con Setas (lamb and shitake mushroom paella) or Arros amb Crosta (Mixed paella with crusty egg topping). If you´re a meat lover, house specialties include Chuletón Villagodio: U.S. Certified Angus Beef Brand Prime Rib steak served at your table where you finish off the cooking process by searing the meat slices on a ceramic plate burner. This dish has been rowned the best steak in Manila. Or try Lechazo al horno: Tender, mouthwatering roast suckling lamb. And of course, Cochinillo al Horno- roast suckling pig. For fish lovers out there, Try the Rape a la Vizcaina: monkfish in a delicate red pepper and tomato sauce or the Lomo de Mero Dos Salsas: Pan-fried Chilean sea bass with pureéd piquillo pepper and squid ink sauce.

On to the desserts, Most of it are home-made from old recipes handed down from various generations. Definite must try's include Flan de la Abuela: Grandma´s leche flan or Tocino de Cielo: egg yolk custard. If undecided, one can go for the Detodunpoco: which literally means a little bit of everything.
.
Now, what to drink… Gaudi has a wide selection of coffee, liquor, and wine. Gaudi´s winelist is carefully selected and quite ample. Main emphasis is on wines from the various wine-producing regions in Spain but includes new world wines from Chile, New Zealand and Australia. Our house wines are excellent and are the most inexpensive in Manila with prices starting at P90 for a glass of wine. Gaudi also made it to the top 10 Independent Wine Lists.Their Sangria is also one most popular ones in Manila, it has gained recognition in a number of contests and tastings.
