The iconic hospital restaurant in Makati has expanded with two standalone establishments in the metro, located at Ayala Malls the 30th and at the second level of Ayala North Exchange, Makati.
For those who grew up in the 80s and 90s and have visited Makati Medical Center, your childhood memories of the hospital would often have a pitstop for homestyle eats at Floating Island. Homey meals like adobo rice, crispy pata, and boneless bangus have been reliable staples of folks of decades past — the kind of foodies that relied on word of mouth rather than online likes and shares — and now that the brand is celebrating its 50th year (it has been open since December 1969) in the food business, the restaurant promises to continue serving up the good comfort food that many have come to love.
And for the younger folks? A taste of the favorites from the yesteryears that make for a solid menu showcasing down-home grub that taste even better when shared. It was fifty years go that Mr. Vince Revilla decided to open up a place that would be everyone's 'home away from home' to comfort themselves with food whenever they find themselves in the Makati hospital. The second generation with son Alex Revilla is now at the helm, ensuring the restaurant continues to comfort every guest with their well loved dishes.
Here's a look at some of the all-time favorites that put Floating Island on the map (and that you should order soon!):
