Fika Manila - Quezon City

**Food:** You absolutely have to try the Abodong Manok—it’s fantastic! Their coffee is also delicious. **Ambience:** I really enjoyed the setup; there are books on display that guests can browse. The atmosphere is very relaxing, making it a great spot for afternoon coffee or tea while enjoying a good book. **Staff:** The staff members are friendly, attentive, and courteous. I can't wait to return soon!

It's not quite there yet, but with "dra åt helvete" on the menu, I definitely have to give it a try the next time I'm in the city.

This is another hidden gem in Quezon City. I specifically sought out this restaurant after reading some intriguing reviews, and I was curious to see it for myself. Upon arriving, the place reminded me of Tagaytay or Sol Y Viento in Laguna due to its location deep within a residential area and in a building that offers a panoramic view of the city. There are also two other well-known restaurants nearby, so I felt quite comfortable exploring this shopping center. Now, let's talk about the food—oh yes! I browsed through the menu, which features authentic local dishes. I ordered the Kare-Kare, and it was delightful, especially paired with the bagoong (fermented shrimp paste). The meat was prepared in a lechon (roast pork) style. I was hoping for a more earthy flavor, but I appreciated the dish for what it was. I also tried the grilled chicken, which was cooked to perfection—neither dry nor overdone, with tender meat that was simply fantastic. You really have to try it to understand what I mean. To sum it up, my experience was very enjoyable, and the ambiance was lovely. Just be prepared to spend a bit—not because the prices are high, but because the portions are meant to be shared. Next time, I plan to bring friends along because I really like the vibe of the menu and can tell it’s a great place.

I still can't get over your adobo. please bring it back to her menu! Eat is great! perfect location for an afternoon chat with family and friends. on a hill, with views of the marina.

It's very clean and serene. There aren't a lot of people in the morning. The meals are served with coffee. The food is decent but they could do more with the serving.
