What Dan O likes about LOLO AND LOLA by Waterhouse Bakers:
I have been to the Philippines a couple of times and fell in love with the food. This is unquestionably the best Filipino restaurant we’ve tried in Australia. Tasty food, quick and friendly service plus plenty of parking space. Servings are generous! Booking is necessary as the restaurant is always packed. Plenty of Filipino patrons which is always a good sign. My family and I can not wait to visit again. View all feedback. What Arlene Mills doesn't like about LOLO AND LOLA by Waterhouse Bakers:
Ok place for family dinner. We had the pork belly (bagnet) pork ribs (pinoy ribs) with garlic rice. I have nothing to complain about, but no particular thing to rave about either. I’d probably come again (not Canberra local) but will try other dishes. View all feedback.

Is quite expencive avege $40.00 meals $20.00 coffee but the govement charges excessive rent to the tennants ? so they have to charge more deliver etc.

Lolo and Lola is a popular Filipino restaurant in Canberra that offers delicious traditional dishes with generous portions. The staff are friendly and welcoming, making diners feel right at home. The restaurant is often busy, especially on weekends, so making a reservation is recommended. The food is well-loved by both locals and visitors, with standout dishes like pork belly, sisig, and halo halo dessert. Despite minor complaints about long wait times and some dry dishes, the overall experience at Lolo and Lola is positive, with many customers eager to return for more tasty Filipino cuisine.
