Avenida Modern Filipino Restaurant and Bar in San Mateo, CA draws inspiration from the vibrant lifestyle of Avenida Rizal, a prominent street in Old Manila during the pre and post World War II era. Named after the Philippine National Hero, Jose Rizal, Avenida aims to recreate the melting pot atmosphere and rich cultural heritage of its namesake, offering a modern twist on traditional Filipino cuisine.

With a nod to the glory days of Old Manila, Avenida pays homage to the social hub that was Avenida Rizal, known for its Art Deco architecture, theaters, and opera house. This restaurant and bar seeks to capture the essence of that era, providing a unique dining experience where guests can indulge in Filipino flavors while immersing themselves in the nostalgia of a bygone era.
