Restaurants @ Intramuros/Signs

There are a number of good restaurants inside the historic walled city of Intramuros.  Being in the vicinity of the San Agustin Church and Manila Cathedral which are popular wedding venues, most restaurants here have gardens and courtyard to accommodate weddings and parties.

Ilustrado serves Filipino-Spanish favorites fused with continental, Asian and western dishes.  I usually bring foreign clients here when we're in the vicinity of Intramuros.

Patio Victoria serves international and Spanish cuisine.  The lush gardens, cobblestone walkways, antique gate and old world charm are a perfect venue for weddings, parties and other events.

Signs @ Intramuros

"The Crazy Nun"

Old and new store signs I spotted along Plaza San Luis across the San Agustin Church in Intramuros.  

La Monja Loca (The Crazy Nun) is a few years old,  a store "dedicated to the promotion of all things good and all things Filipino, from vintage postcards and traditional handicrafts", according to its website.  They also sell rare books, traditionally-woven fabrics, paintings of local artists and a bunch of quirky things.

Next door is The Papier Tole Shop---one of the oldest shops in Intramuros selling recycled paper products from dolls to 3-D paintings.

Sign @ The Rizal Shrine

A marker at the Rizal Shrine in the walled city of Intramuros in Manila.  I'm posting this sign to commemorate Dr. Jose Rizal's 150th birthday on June 19th.

It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal.  It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice.  ~ Jose Rizal
