The al fresco area

Sky dining

Take your dining experience to (literally) greater heights at the newly opened Z.Lounge. Located 45 stories above the busy streets of EDSA in Mandaluyong City, Z.Lounge offers a Private Sky Dining events venue for parties, birthdays, corporate activities, and other memorable celebrations. A truly breathtaking panoramic view of the Manila skyline awaits guests at the Z.Lounge, which comes with both indoor and al fresco dining areas that can accommodate up to 150 guests!

Their events menu can be tailor-made to suit your party with great food and dinner sets that can be customized for any occasion. Some of their specialties include the Three-Cheese Caldereta (which is a dip for their crispy pita bread), Smoked US Beef Belly Sisig, Asian BBQ Chicken Poppers, Grilled Chicken Teriyaki, and US Certified Angus Beef Ribeye. These can be served plated, family-style, or with a buffet setup depending on your preference. I really enjoyed the food here, together with several food writers and bloggers the night we went there!

Z.Lounge is also open during happy hour and dinner service for walk-in guests on Tuesdays to Sundays from 5:30 p.m. to 12 mn. Their rooftop bar offers specialty cocktails such as the Lychee Mojito, BU’s Sangria, and other spirits to accompany your business meetings or elegant dinner dates where you can have amazing views of the city.
