The Aristocrat Restaurant - SM North EDSA — Restaurant in Quezon City

My girlfriend and I wanted a light dinner since it was already late. While walking around SM North, we saw Aristocrat and we suddenly craved our favorite Ensaladang Mangga and Crispy Eggplant. Without a second thought, we went in.
