Communities: Taste the World in One Village

Do you marvel at the idea of exploring the world and experiencing its novel fares and splendid cuisines?

A cruise at Legazpi Village, a community enclosed by Amorsolo Street, Paseo de Roxas, Dela Rosa Street and Arnaiz Avenue, brings you closer to the world’s most exquisite treats with its unique dining locations. Teeming with eclectic culinary choices, the village complements the wide array of dining selections offered at nearby Greenbelt.

The Columns Legazpi Village, one of the newest developments of Community Innovations, an Ayala Land company, further brings the villagers closer to this novel dining experience as it provides the venue where people can just be a few steps from a wide array of culinary establishments.

Asian Food Fest

With just a walk in the village, you can learn there’s more to Asian food than your all-time favorite adobo or your good old siopao. Legazpi Village proves this as it showcases various elements of Asian cuisines like India’s sophisticated use of spices and herbs, Turkey’s simplistic yet surprising dishes, and Japan’s stylish dining.

Try Swagat Indian Cuisine on Rada Street and treat yourself to authentic Indian fare. The homey ambiance and the reasonably priced dishes make Swagat your best bet if it’s your first time to go Indian. Try the tandoori— chicken marinated in a mixture of ginger, garlic, yogurt and spices, and specially cooked in a tandoor or Indian brick oven.

There’s no need to go to Japan to discover that’s there’s more to Japanese cuisine than sushitempura. Look out for the red structure between Pasong Tamo and Amorsolo Street and have your journey at Little Tokyo. A zen garden welcomes you and ushers you into a cluster of restaurants that all give you a taste of Japan.

For that one-stop Asian culinary experience, visit the Legazpi Sunday Market and taste the delightful cuisines of Korea, Japan, Thailand and China.
