Tips for Better Results
Be specific about your budget
Instead of 'cheap steak', say 'steak under ₱800/person'. CARNÉ understands Philippine peso amounts and can filter by price range.
Mention your group size
Group size matters — some restaurants are better for couples, others for large groups. Tell CARNÉ how many people you're dining with.
Include your area or preferred location
Manila is large. Specifying BGC, Makati, Ortigas, or QC helps CARNÉ give you practical, accessible recommendations.
Describe the occasion
Birthday, business dinner, casual lunch, romantic date — the occasion changes the recommendation significantly.
Ask follow-up questions
CARNÉ remembers your conversation. Ask 'What about a cheaper option?' or 'Is there parking?' as follow-ups.
