Looking for the best Spanish and Portuguese food in Manila? This July, Waterside at Solaire Resort Entertainment City is transporting your tastebuds to the sun-drenched shores of the Iberian Peninsula.

As the latest chapter in its celebrated Eat Around the World culinary series, Waterside’s new menu highlights the rich maritime heritage, rustic recipes, and vibrant coastal flavors of Spain and Portugal. From classic tapas to traditional seafood stews, this limited-time dining experience captures the essence of Mediterranean summers from Lisbon to Barcelona.

The Menu: Iconic Spanish Tapas & Portuguese Favorites

Waterside’s culinary team has crafted a menu that seamlessly blends the distinct flavors of these neighboring nations. Here are the signature dishes you can look forward to:

  • Pulpo a la Gallega: Galicia’s iconic octopus dish, served with crispy potatoes, creamy aioli, and smoky paprika.
  • Leitão no Forno: A Portuguese favorite featuring succulent, slow-roasted suckling pig with perfectly crisp, golden skin.
  • Cataplana: A fragrant Portuguese seafood stew, named after the traditional copper vessel it is slow-cooked in.
  • Piri-Piri Chicken: Flame-grilled chicken bursting with authentic Portuguese spices.

Create Your Own Iberian Rice Feast

A unique feature of the festival is a bespoke dining concept where guests can customize their meal. Choose between:

  • Spain’s signature firm rice, featured in dishes like the indulgent Paella de Chuletón (premium cuts of meat layered with rich, savory flavors).
  • Portugal’s velvety-style soft rice, highlighted in the Arroz de Mariscos (seafood simmered in a robust, tomato-infused broth).

Authentic Iberian Desserts

No European feast is complete without dessert. Indulge in classic sweets including:

  • Crema Catalana (Spain): A creamy, orange-infused custard with a freshly torched, caramelized sugar crust.
  • Pastel de Nata (Portugal): The iconic, buttery, flaky pastry filled with silky egg custard and lightly dusted with cinnamon and sugar.
