Details

The Aristocrat Restaurant proudly traces its roots to a loving lady whose greatest pleasure was in cooking delectable dishes served in generous portions at affordable prices. This grand dame, endearingly called “Aling Asiang”, learned her kitchen basics from her mother, who equally enjoyed concocting stews and porridges which were welcome fare to the fisher folk in the then bustling town of Navotas in the early 1900’s. At seven, Asiang was already cooking for her brothers and sisters. She created the most delicious “kare-kare”, “arroz con goto” and “dinuguan” in their hometown.

Asiang was wooed to an early marriage by Alexander Reyes, a bright young lawyer. Children came one after the other. Soon, Asiang had to rear a brood of twelve plus some ten more relatives that came to live with them. Her passion for cooking and desire to make ends meet saw her open a small canteen in 1928. It was called Lapu-Lapu, the forerunner of the Aristocrat and the first Filipino restaurant serving native menu at a time when American dishes dominated the commercial food scene. Shortly, it was a success. With this confidence and her entire savings of P80, she further ventured into the food business by converting an old van into a rolling store in 1936. She named the van The Aristocrat. Again, Aling Asiang served her specialties and added to this adobo, fresh lumpia and pancit molo. The demand for her good food was ever-growing that she finally decided to open The Aristocrat Restaurant on a
more permanent site along Dewey Blvd. in 1938. By then she had refined her philosophy to serve home-styled dishes at popular prices - “masarap, malinis at mura.”

This was over 70 years ago. Today, this welcome landmark along the Roxas Blvd. enjoys the reputation as “The Philippines’ Most Popular Restaurant.”
It is a recognized institution in its serving as an inspiration to many successful eateries here and abroad. Much credit goes to Aling Asiang’s industry, creativity and pioneering spirit that Aristocrat has raised Filipino dishes to the level of international cuisine. This is a legacy all Filipinos have a right to take pride in. A legacy that perpetuates itself in The Aristocrat Restaurant.
