The Casa Roces Experience

Elegance preserved, take a nostalgic walk back in time at Casa Roces, an ancestral home given new life as one of the metro's unique restaurants. 

The former ancestral home of the Roces clan, Casa Roces preserves the best of the past with subtle touches of cool modernity. And despite the clean, contemporary updates, one can still feel the comforting warmth of the former ancestral home, retaining furniture and memorabilia, for a unique dining experience.

Just right across the presidential palace, the ancestral home of the Roces clan has seen history unfold countless times, with a front row seat of the country's symbol of power. And the Roces clan has been at the forefront, behind the prestigious name of The Manila Times, the family's flagship in their media empire.

Reminders of the clan's influential media empire, bannered by The Manila Times, are displayed adding a nostalgic touch to Casa Roces.

Like a portal to another time, Casa Roces invites you to go on a sentimental food journey with its traditional Filipino and Spanish family recipes.
