Good food and a beer are available at Joe’s Place and at Paddy’s Place and Van Gogh's Ear Café where the menu is as eclectic as the décor.
Outside of Italy, other ethnic fare is represented in Union's Special Improvement District. Enjoy Pad Thai and Sticky Rice with Mango at Morris Thai Cuisine; Mexican, and Chinese dishes at Golden China and Great Wall Kitchen; "pasteis de nata" (custard cups) at Emily's Portuguese Bakery & Restaurant; coffee and a bun at the Blue Ribbon Bakery; authentic Mexican menu at Mood Restaurant.
Western Africa cuisine can be found at Afrikiko Restaurant (its "kelewele" is fried seasoned ripened plantains), and New Garden City Restaurant featuring exotic African fare such as fufu with goat soup. Gusto y Sabor brings Columbian fare to the Center. Union Barbeque and Barangay Union Grill both eat-in and take-out barbeque meals.
