The most beautiful McDonald’s in the Philippines opens in Bacolod City


A new addition to Bacolod’s must-visit attractions is Megaworld’s second McDonald’s store inside The Upper East, a 34-hectare township. The branch boasts state-of-the-art facilities heavily inspired by the city’s culture and traditions, like the world-renowned MassKara Festival. The most recognisable motif reminiscent of Bacolod would be its colourful giant mask designed by local artist Jojo Vito. 

Apart from being the most beautiful McDonald’s in the Philippines, it also houses the biggest al fresco dining area in the country. Dine among its benches and stroll along its landscape park.

With this new design scheme, it ultimately hopes to deliver its customers a one-of-a-kind dining experience while highlighting Bacolod’s charm. A little-known fact: Only a select few outlets of the fast food giant have adopted this innovative layout, another one being Pamgpanga’s “biggest” McDonald’s store, which opened in 2020. Now, that’s what you call design with a purpose!
