Prost! To an authentic Bavarian celebration at Okada with an authentic German experience drinkin’ and munchin’ the true flavors and spirit of Octoberfest.
To make things even more exciting, Okada Manila is building a replica of the Bavarian village inside the Crystal Corridor, featuring free-flowing Bavarian Weihenstephan beer served by beer maidens. What is Octoberfest without German food? Get your stomachs ready for some hearty platters of bratwurst, pork knuckles, oven-baked chicken, meatloaf and more! And adding further to the festive mood is a live band playing authentic German music from Monday 23 September to Saturday 28 September at Okada’s Crystal Court.

You’ll find Okada Manila’s Crystal Court transformed into a replica of the Bavarian village.
Enjoy an endless flow of beers from Weihenstephaner. Besides beer, you can also find free-flowing wine, sodas and liqueur.
Oktoberfest 2019 will feature plenty of beer along with a variety of exciting games and competitions. Old favorites and new exciting challenges await with exciting prizes in store!
To show the kind of fun to be expected on the 81st Oktoberfest, guests were invited to a beer-drinking game and a food relay to test the competitiveness of each player. For those who weren’t able to participate, there was an exciting raffle draw that offered guests the chance to win coveted prizes.
Enjoy the festival by grooving to live music. So bring your friends out for some roarin’ good fun!
Without exaggerating, Oktoberfest food is one of the most satisfying, indulgent grub you’ll ever experience. All the better when you pair it with liters of beer.
Menu
Authentic German bread and pretzels in baskets in platters were served.
The Germans may be known for their pork dishes, but it was hard to ignore the tantalizing rows of roast chicken all over Oktoberfest. Rip a roast chicken with your fingers after a few liters of beer.
One of my favorite treats was devouring roasted pork knuckles served in a pool of gravy. The best part was the crispy skin, but the juicy slabs of meat were also as good.
Weisswurst or Munich-style poached veal & pork sausage placed in very hot water. Unlike most German sausages its color is white and the texture is smooth. Best paired with traditional sweet mustard. A must try!
Live cooking stations by no-less than Okada’s award-winning chefs.
Fresh off the grill pork sausages are the best!
Steckerlfisch or grilled mackerel—very fatty and grilled to perfection. I had two servings of this. A must try!
Bavarian meat loaf with potato salad.
To end the meal, try the classic desserts like the apple strudel with vanilla sauce and kaiserschmarn—a dish made of shredded rum raisin pancakes with berry compote and vanilla sauce.
The weeklong celebration starts on Sept 23-28, 2019 from 7pm to 1am. Tickets are at priced Php 4,500 for regular access and Php 10,000 for VIP access.
For inquiries and reservations call 555 5799 or email RestaurantReservation@okadamanila.com. Guests can also book anytime during the celebration at the Crystal Corridor registration booth.
Eat, drink and be merry. Prost!
