First and foremost, you don’t come here to skimp. Rather you enter through the doors of Txanton expecting to be treated, to be indulged, and to be immersed. Admittedly, the food and wines are the stars here: for food always get their Jamon Iberico (my favorites are Extremadura and Pedroches),Gambas Al Ajillo (perfectly cooked, plump, sweet), Chorizo Picante a la brasa, and their immaculate Wagyu rib cap (best piece of steak in Metro Manila, hands down!). I was a bit adventurous during my last two visits and tried some of their seafood dishes (i.e. Sopa De Pescado and Txipirones Rellenos) and I was pleasantly surprised as both were executed quite well. For wines, well you’re spoiled to pick from their collection of excellent French and Spanish wines; I’d always go for their Ribera del Duero reds (particularly Valbuena 5 años ‘08, ‘09, and ‘10).But going back, it’s always about the service for me. Besay, Marjon, and the rest of the team assure that every visit is a special one. They are knowledgeable, they are pleasant, and they are accommodative. As the saying goes, “food without great service is just another meal.”

Great place for jamon, iberico pork and wine! My fave jamon is the pedroches. The Secreto Iberico is TDF. Best pork I've ever tasted. 😋 They have a really good selection of Spanish wines
