Corner Tree Cafe: what visitors should know first
Choose it for an unhurried vegetarian lunch or dinner in Makati with plenty of variety. It is not tagged Pure Veg or vegan here because we found no page confirming egg-free or dairy-free cooking, so ask about both.

Why it matters
Why Corner Tree Cafe is worth your time
Corner Tree Cafe is one of the few vegetarian restaurants in Makati with a record to point to: the 2025 roundup from M2 Communications says it has operated for more than 15 years. In a city where meat and seafood seasonings are common even in vegetable dishes, a kitchen that has stayed vegetarian for that long is reassuring.
For families, the variety matters as much as the label. Dishes drawn from several world cuisines let different tastes share one table, and a childrens' menu helps when ages vary. It remains a careful choice rather than an automatic one: confirm egg and onion-garlic handling yourself.

How to experience it
Corner Tree Cafe is listed by The Smart Local as a vegetarian and vegan restaurant, and its menu reaches across Asian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and European cooking. Dishes named there include spinach feta croquettes, a tofu teriyaki bowl and a vegetable bibimbap, which gives an idea of the range. Feta means dairy is used, so this is not a vegan-only kitchen.
Ask the server to mark dishes that contain egg, since we found no menu stating that the whole menu is egg-free. Jain travellers should ask about onion and garlic in each dish; no source says the kitchen avoids them.
The Smart Local also notes vegan and vegetarian kids' meals, helpful for a family with grandchildren. The Bel-Air branch is the original address we verified; a Powerplant Mall branch in Rockwell is listed too, so confirm which one suits your hotel.
