Avenida Modern Filipino Restaurant and Bar was inspired by the dynamic lifestyle of Avenida Rizal, one of the main thoroughfares in the Old Manila during the pre and post World War II era. It was named after the Philippine National Hero, Jose Rizal. For decades, Avenida Rizal was a melting pot as well as the mecca for entertainment and dining in the Philippines. Avenida Restaurant would like to pay homage to the glory days of the Old Manila.
