Food fusion at SM BF Parañaque
MANILA, Philippines - The BF area has long been known as the ultimate food hub in the South. It is the place where many exciting food concepts have begun, and where foodies make long trips to dine in their only-at-BF specialty restaurants.
When SM Prime opened its 48th mall, SM BF Parañaque, late last year, planning the food-scape was a major consideration. And today, it is a food hub in itself with its mix of traditional and new concepts, specialty restaurants and bakeshops, as well as the best of Eastern and Western cuisine. Here are some great reasons why it’s time to visit SM BF Parañaque for great food finds:

As the fourth generation of the popular restaurant chain, Guernica’s Tapas Bar and Restaurant brings the Guernica tradition of authentic Spanish cuisine, fine-dining service, and a great selection of wine to a whole new generation of food enthusiasts. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a busy day in the office or for the family to enjoy a weekend reunion.
