About The Alley by Vikings

The Philippines' international food-hall buffet, designed as a night market

Vikings Group is the largest buffet restaurant group in the Philippines. Its flagship Vikings brand operates luxury all-you-can-eat dining rooms across Metro Manila. The Alley by Vikings is a parallel concept that strips away the formal dining room and replaces it with a food-hall layout: roughly 15 themed stalls, each with its own name, signage, and food identity, arranged to evoke the atmosphere of walking through an international street market.

The concept covers Japanese sashimi, tempura and gyoza at Yatai; slow-braised Italian meats at Buono; Chinese dim sum, roast duck and salt-and-pepper ribs at Hao Chi; Filipino pork classics at Frituen Batsoy; fresh oysters and paella at O'Sean Eleven -- alongside a bar station (Kegz) that provides included unlimited beer and cocktails, a dedicated Filipino street-food corner (Ferino's / roaming carts with fishballs, taho, and seasonal bibingka), and a full espresso bar (Nord's Coffee Bar).

As of 2026, The Alley by Vikings operates five Metro Manila branches: BGC (Bonifacio High Street, Taguig), UP Town Center (Quezon City), Cloverleaf (Quezon City), Ayala Malls Manila Bay (Paranaque), and Fairview Terraces (Quezon City, opened March 2025).

Dining tips

How to get the most out of a visit to The Alley by Vikings

The Alley by Vikings rewards diners who arrive early and work the stations strategically. High-demand items like fresh sashimi, baked oysters, and salt-and-pepper spare ribs are replenished throughout service but can run low during weekend peak hours -- the first 30-60 minutes of each session typically offers the widest selection.

The Kegz bar offers unlimited beer and house cocktails at no extra charge for guests 18+, making the flat rate especially good value for groups. Nord's Coffee Bar is best saved for after the main courses -- the fresh-baked bread and espresso drinks pair naturally with the Honeycomb dessert station.

Reservations strongly recommended for weekend sessions at BGC and UP Town. Book online at bookings.vikings.ph, via Eatigo, or via Klook.

  • Arrive early -- sashimi and oysters run out at peak hours
  • Start savory, end sweet -- Honeycomb and coffee are best last
  • Beer and cocktails are bundled in the rate (18+ only)
  • Book in advance for weekend sessions to guarantee a table
  • Children below 3 ft dine free; height measured at the door
  • Visit December for seasonal bibingka and puto bumbong

The flagship Vikings brand is a separate but related luxury buffet concept. Both are operated by Vikings Group, the largest buffet restaurant group in the Philippines.

Alcoholic beverages are available only to guests 18 years and older. Premium wine is available for an additional fee at some branches.

Arrive early in a session for the best selection of peak-demand items.

Are there discounts available for The Alley by Vikings?

Several discount channels are publicly documented: Klook vouchers sell the BGC weekday lunch for PHP 1,024 (vs. the PHP 1,138 walk-in rate). Eatigo offers time-slot-based discounts of up to 30%, reducing a PHP 1,138 lunch to approximately PHP 797.

Are children free at The Alley by Vikings?

Heights are measured at the entrance. Exact child rates vary by branch and meal period -- confirm with your specific location when making a reservation.

What time does The Alley by Vikings open and how long can you stay?

Service runs in two distinct sessions: Lunch: 11:00 AM - 2:30 PM and Dinner: 5:30 PM - 10:00 PM (or until mall closing). Diners are given the full service window -- roughly 90 minutes to 3.5 hours depending on arrival time. Last call for food is typically 30 minutes before the session ends. Arriving within the first 30-60 minutes of a session gives the best selection, especially for high-demand items like sashimi and baked oysters.

Is The Alley by Vikings good value compared to other Manila buffets?

At PHP 1,038-1,238 for most branches (weekday lunch), The Alley by Vikings sits in the mid-to-upper tier of Metro Manila buffets. The flagship Vikings brand commands a higher rate. The Alley differentiates on the street-market atmosphere and the inclusion of unlimited beer and cocktails in the base rate -- a feature that is relatively rare at this price point. Reviewer consensus places it well above average in food quality (especially the Japanese and carving stations) and notes the inclusive drinks as a strong value driver for groups. The BGC branch commands a slight premium over UP Town and Cloverleaf due to its location in the central business district.
