Restaurant of the golden days
In 1888, a historical and famous restaurant was born - Toho Antigua, as it was called originally, was a resto for the Spanish and the elite Filipinos. It was one of the very rare places that serve Spanish-Chinese dishes. It is said that Jose Rizal - the Philippine national hero - always dined here in the late 1800s. Nothing much changed here. The regular patrons of New Toho keep coming back for quality food in a unique ambience and atmosphere.
