Tropical Hut - Araneta City — Restaurant in Quezon City

Calling all beach bums and cocktail connoisseurs! Tropical Hut is your island escape without leaving Manila. ️️ Forget plane tickets - just grab your Google Maps and get ready for some serious fun in the sun (okay, maybe just tiki torches, but still tropical vibes!).

Why it's a must-visit: Foodie Fiesta: Their Filipino dishes are no joke. Think sizzling sisig, crispy lechon kawali, and fresh seafood that'll make your taste buds do a happy hula. It's the perfect fuel for all that tiki torch gazing.

Getting there from SM Megamall:

MRT-3 to Cubao Station: Hop on the MRT-3 train at SM Megamall and zoom your way to Cubao Station. Easy peasy! Grab a Jeepney: Catch a jeepney bound for Araneta Center (Cubao) just outside the station. Ask the driver to drop you off near Gateway Mall. Short Walk to Paradise: From Gateway Mall, it's a quick walk to Tropical Hut. Just follow the tiki tunes and the smell of delicious grilled food.

Things to know before you go:

It can get crowded, especially on weekends. So if you're looking for a quiet escape, maybe aim for a weekday visit. Parking can be a challenge. If you're driving, be prepared to circle the block or head straight to the Araneta Center car park.

Overall, Tropical Hut Araneta City is a delightful escape from the city. It's got delicious food, tropical vibes for days, and enough cocktails to make you forget all about work (temporarily, of course).

The fish was already smelly and half cooked and she expected us to consume it, without reproach. Someone dealing with people especially in the food service ought to know better. Shame on you. Mind you, ms. Ape did not even bother offer an apology for the half cooked fish...

Although the store is antiquated, the food is great. This is the fastfood that still remains since I was a child. It reminded me of the times when my father bought a Tropical Hut Burgers going home from work. Also, they still have that old fashioned catsup squeeze bottle and sugar metal container, unlike those famous fastfoods that they are scrimping with condiments. For breakfast meals, the juice and coffee are both included, No need to pay additional charge, if you would like to...
