If the set design of our November 2018 cover girl shoot with All-Around Artist, Bela Padilla, seems familiar, that’s because the layouts were shot in both The Belle & Dragon, and the speakeasy bar inside, Mandalay Whiskey, along C. Palanca Street in Legaspi Village, Makati.
Located in the heart of the city’s central business district where professionals can easily have a hearty lunch or unwind with a good drink after a long day, this has served as both a fun spot for the Calyxta Crew, as well as a space to brainstorm and plan our content and marketing campaigns (thanks to their hidden meeting room).
Twice, our team had lunch here to bond with each other, and plan our entire 2018 calendar. So if you’re new to The Belle & Dragon, we highly recommend their best-selling Lechon Sinigang, B&D Sisig, or Garden Curry. Once, we even participated in their weekly Music Trivia Night, where Calyxta won 1st runner-up after an exciting three rounds! Lucky winners every week win a free open bar tab throughout the night, so if you think you have a pretty extensive knowledge on music, plus if you want to have a good time (and make
new friends along the way!), this is definitely the place to be.
The Belle & Dragon is located at 100 C. Palanca Street, OPL Building, Legaspi Village, Makati. For inquiries or bookings, contact (0917) 6258828 or e-mail home@thebelleandragon.com.
