Known as one of the most iconic Filipino restaurant chains, Aristocrat Restaurant has delighted several generations with their crowd-pleasing chicken barbecue plates, pastries, and takes on classic Pinoy favorites. While other local businesses have struggled to entice customers, Aristocrat was drawing in around 3,000 diners a day in their Roxas Boulevard branch alone before the pandemic.
The secret to Aristocrat’s continued influence and growth in a fickle industry is its commitment to high-quality Filipino cuisine from the outset. The first branch opened in the 1930s in Luneta was the fruit of Engracia “Asiang” Cruz-Reyes’ desire to serve familiar comfort foods like chicken barbecue, arroz caldo, and lumpia. Keeping things old-school, fresh from the market, and consistent in taste was what continued to pack their dining rooms.
This desire is also probably why despite the clamor for Aristocrat Restaurant’s food, they’ve opened only 15 branches overall. The Reyes family has kept Aristocrat Restaurant from franchising in a move to preserve the quality and control dish consistency in every branch. It’s this attention to detail which has easily made Aristocrat’s daily sales pre-pandemic top Php1 Million – now that’s a homegrown success!
Aristocrat Menu
Whether it’s your first time ordering in Aristocrat, or simply a return visit to a beloved Filipino institution, one thing’s for sure: you must have what they proudly call “the best chicken barbecue in town”. Whether you get the Boneless Chicken Barbecue or Classic Chicken Barbecue, it’s a hearty and rich plate with java rice, java sauce, and extra atchara.

If you’re just there for a quick merienda, their heartwarming Arroz Con Caldo, fresh Lumpiang Ubod Sariwa, and icy, sweet Gulaman At Sago are must-tries.
If you’re lucky enough to be eating at a branch that has the legendary creations of The Aristocrat Bakeshop, we highly recommend that you indulge. The Torta Delos Reyes is a chocolatey sansrival creation that remains one of its most popular cakes. Other great Aristocrat cakes include their traditional Sans Rival, Chocolate Supreme, and creamy, slightly fruity Carrot Cake.
