“Was excited to try this restaurant because I had heard they have one of the best cheesecakes in the Philippines. We ordered the Arroz De Pollo Y Verduras, a slice of the El Borne cheesecake, and a slice of the El Borne coffee and cacao cheesecake. The Arroz De Pollo Y Verduras had a great flavor and was definitely shareable for 2 people. The only downside was I felt it was mostly rice and not enough chicken. If they added some more chicken to this dish I feel like it would have been perfect. However, the cheesecakes were the highlight of the night. They were both Amazing. If I had to choose just one I would pick the El Borne Cheesecake but they were honestly two of best slices of cheesecake I’ve ever tasted. I would not hesitate to come back here just for the cheesecake. I would be open to trying some of the other dishes on the menu as well. Overall, it was a great experience and can’t wait to go back.”

“Known for the yummy cheesecake, so we decided to eat the full meal instead. The food tasted okay, nothing extra. The paella could use some socarrat, like how it should be served. The food server probably don’t know what it is, since they insisted it has socarrat while he was mixing it for us. The waiter also got our order wrong, even if we repeatedly described and showed a photo, of the pork dish served with the sauce that we wanted. The food was also expensive. I would recommend to just eat at another resto in Mitsukoshi and just come here for the cheesecake.”

“Dining here was a pleasant experience. Food was good and service was excellent. Our server Paolo and sir Sherwin were very attentive to our needs. We loved the steak! Perfectly seasoned, juicy, tender. And of course, the cheesecake.. Not too sweet, with a hint of lime..definitely a winner!”

“We were looking for steak within Mitsukoshi and fortunately passed by El Born. We got Jamon Iberico and enjoyed it, we asked for another one. Both of their salads were good but the group favorite was the burrata. We had our wagyu steak cooked medium, and it was just right! It came with sides, we chose mixed veggies and potato wedges, both perfectly cooked. My 2 personal favorites were their classic burnt basque cheesecake and their cantabrico mussels (sauce so good, you would like another serving of bread). We were assisted by Vincent and he was very attentive and answered all our questions, we appreciate him very much!”

“Great Spanish cuisine, steak and cheesecake. Enjoyed dining here and the food is delicious and with good servings but it can be a bit on the pricy end. Recommended for couples and groups for dining since the atmosphere and service is great and they pay good attention to their customers. Comfortable to dine in too, no issues at all.”

“The food was fantastic. We ordered a lot of things and the paella really hit the spot. Tried both cheesecakes, with the choco cheesecake suggested by our server, Jay, who was very sweet and has really good service! Thank you for the great Catalan food, El Born!”

“First time to try this Catalan inspired restaurant. It did not dissapoint. Chef David wonderfully executed the paella and iberico pork steak. The iberico pork steak was melt in your mouth 🐷❤️. Special mention the sardine toast and the bouillabaisse. And of course the award winning best cheese cake in Manila ❤️ 😍”

“Anna our server is very accommodating. She gave us a nice table for a private meeting. Very attentive and knows what food to recommend. The place is good for important meetings, just right light and privacy. The food is superb! Everything we ordered were appetizing and the sizes were also just right. It can be shared depending on your appetite.”
