A smash-burger counter from Filipino-American chef Alvin Cailan of Eggslut and Amboy, opened in BGC in late 2025. Short menu, small daily batches.
Made-to-order salads and wraps, a reliable light lunch, with more branches at Burgos Circle and Uptown.
Beef pepper rice on a hot iron plate, cheap and quick. There are several counters around BGC, so one is usually close by.

Hawaiian-style poke bowls you build yourself, in the food hall under One Bonifacio High Street. A light lunch that travels well to a desk.

A casual Thai spot built around Bangkok-style street food, from holy basil rice plates to curries.
Warm grain bowls from a Singapore brand, filling but lighter than most fast food. This was its first Philippine branch.
The first Shake Shack in the Philippines, opened in 2019. A fast, reliable burger-and-shake stop in the middle of High Street.
