Animae offers a unique dining experience with delicious food prepared with care. The friendly, attentive staff provides knowledgeable service, contributing to a memorable visit. The Art Deco and outer space-themed decor adds a fun, gorgeous atmosphere. Standout dishes include the Taiwanese chicken, beet salad, and mantou, while some guests praised the phenomenal steak and pork chop. The restaurant elevates Philippine cuisine with a modern vibe, and the beautifully plated dishes stay true to the authentic flavors.
Recent reviews highlight a great spin on classic Philippine dishes such as adobo and kare-kare, described as fantastic. The pig ears starter and pandan dessert were also delicious, making it a must-try experience. The ambiance has a romantic charm, and the food from appetizers to dessert is praised as great. One guest mentioned the steak selection was limited, with Wagyu steaks being good but not enough variety. Visitors have enjoyed dishes like the pork, wontons, salad, scallops, green beans, and rice cakes, with some items being spicy but tremendous. Desserts remain a highlight, with many finding them delicious despite being full. The staff goes above and beyond to accommodate dietary preferences, and the superb presentation and consistent service make Animae a favorite for special occasions. Overall, it is a highly recommended restaurant that could deserve multi-Michelin star recognition.
