Eating out on Good Friday? These restos are open

In the past commercial establishments would cease operations for a few days in observance of the holy week. The streets were deserted and families were expected to stock up on food, because stores and restaurants remain close until Easter Sunday.

Times have changed. We still observe holy week, pray the stations of the cross and even plan out our visita iglesia tradition. The streets are relative;y busy with city dwellers visiting churches.

And since staying in Manila is now a wise option, there are establishments that choose to open during the break. Holy Thursday is quite lively since Catholics visit churches on this day. Its back to business on holy Saturday in preparation for the big Easter celebration.

Good Friday however remains solemn, in fact some stores and eating places still choose not to operate on that day. When I was a kid, we were not even allowed to take a bath after 3pm.

Now just in case you are looking for a place to eat after all that meditating and soul searching, these restaurants will remain open on Good Friday.
