El Cocinero by Chef Arnaldo

We celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday at their Tagaytay branch last month and I can say it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Food was fantastic, especially their paella el cocinero and champiñones con chorizo y gambas. The ambiance was perfect and the staffs were attentive and accommodating.El Cocinero opened its newest branch in Molito Alabang. Glad we can have a quick fix of their food without having to travel to Tagaytay.Highly recommending this place. Two thumbs up.

The best paella I've ever tasted in the Phils. Worth the travel....not to mention a very relaxing ambiance! This is the place you should consider when in Tagaytay!I will not be surprised if El Cocinero will expand branches all over the Phils!Cheers!

Interiors as well as the Santorini feel of the place is worth the drive. Quality of food and service is great. One of my fave restos in the city! Plus you get to have the place to yourself during weekdays. There's also a library nearby. Great place for destressing!

Great dining experience. A little out of the way if you’re commuting. But this hole-in-the-wall place has a laid-back ambience. And the paella negra is to-die-for.

Cozy ambience. Awesome food. We're not able to try their Paella but we really loved the El Cocinero pizza as well as their Mejillones Gratinado. We'd also like to commend their staff especially Bryan, our server that day, for being corteous and accommodating. Staff are very polite even upon entering and leaving the place. Overall, 10/10 dining experience!😊
