Totally awesome. Serving is huge. Highly recommended.
Ellmann Cayetano18:06 11/05/22
All these food we ordered are recommended. Sulit na sulit. I bet the other items on the menu are good as well. For sure, babalik ako dito.
Nikki Bautista14:28 02/29/20
Good place for food and drinks. They have an extensive menu selection featuring classic bar faves and hearty dishes. Love the overall vibe of the place, as its very open and well-lit. Great location too, with parking available outside. Open till late in the morning, perfect for late-night hangs

Good food and entertainment at an affordable price.
Just SERG03:54 10/09/19
Try their Best sellers. All thumbs up for me.Mixed pancit Bihon and Canton for only 349 i think, But already good for 4 people! Thats how big the serving is. Not to mention the leg quarter on top that tastes like Maxs fried chicken. The pancit has lechon kawali which is also good din! I put their Habanero sauce to make it spicy! Hmmm yummy! HahaWe also tried their Sisig. Really tasty as welland their Kalderetang Kambing. But i find their Kaldereta too sweet for me.You must include Buttered Chicken in your order because serving is huge as well, perfect when youre hungry. Enjoy!!!

Food is great. Big serving and taste delicious. Accomodating staffs. Would like to go back.
Eufemia Jocelyn T. Almeida10:03 07/21/23
They took almost an hour before serving us our food. We were informed beforehand of a waiting time of 20 mins, and yet 40 minutes later and the food was still nowhere to be found. We followed up our order multiple times through 3 different staffs and only the last one was able to bring us our food and give us a proper answer.
John Eduard Gabriel Cruz13:04 06/26/23
I was around in Marikina and somehow stumbled upon Miguel & Maria. They have a wide array of food selection. I ordered the back ribs and my friend ordered honey roast beef. We also ordered the MM salad but the vinaigrette was too sweet for my liking. The staff members are attentive and quick to serve. I would only nitpick about the layout of the restaurant. It was like the tables were placed everywhere without care. It's a little sad because I thought the place has good potential for really showcasing itself with a rustic theme that would be perfect complement to their menu. The atmosphere is killing the vibe of the resto. I hope the owners recognize this issue because this will help boost their image ergo gain more customers in the process.
Catherine E07:34 06/13/23
Cozy ambiance and remarkable service!Some of the food items were good but I was very disappointed at the quesadilla because it has disturbingly sweet filling and very different from what we expect a quesadilla should taste like. Also the side veggies were a little bit undercooked for our liking, although the other dishes are remarkable especially the ribs.The service was fast and the servers are very attentive. I really admire the attention to details of this place from the dinning area to the comfort room they really showcase the cozy american dinning experience.Kudos also the the parking attendant for being nice and accommodating.
John Gabel05:18 03/23/23
Ambiance is good. Food meh - Caesar salad on menu says it has anchovies but came with no anchovies and mustard dressing. Greens came in large cuts with no salad knives offered. First time to taste Caesar salad with mustard dressing. Ribs are tender and falling off the bone but taste like it’s been under the warming light or cooked the night before and left out. Sweet sauce all over. If you like sweet then you’re in for a treat. Coleslaw side was quite decent. Mushrooms on the side is canned. The crispy pork belly taste as you would imagine on the photo. Hope they improve their food.
Migs Hipolito21:02 03/02/23
We tried their baby back ribs and roasted pumpkin soup.The pumpkin soup was ok but i was looking nore of the creaminess and roast taste.The ribs were delicious and i was given a big serving. But the side dish did not go well with it - puso ng saging i think.
Alyssa Scheiber14:23 01/30/23
We brought a large group to eat late at night and they were still so accomodating. The staff were a little rude, pushing us to order even though it was our first time there, but I understood since they closed in a little over an hour. They 3 stars for service but 5 stars for the food since all of it was delicious. We did not get dessert because the kitchen closed but I'm sure it would have been great too if they hadn't pushed us out. Overall. Rude staff, great food. Will maybe go again in a few years when they get new servers.
Paulo Martin15:47 10/23/22
We visited the place for a weekend lunch and luckily the place was not crowded. The place was ambient and feels homey. We ordered Nachos, Salad, Kare Kare, Paella Negra and Crispy Pata. The dishes we ordered were quite delicious. I specially loved the Crispy Pata. Despite our orders the price was also very affordable.
Jennelyn Rustia - Paa13:53 04/01/22
We order fish and chips, bacon chowder, original steak (medium) and herb garlic steak (medium).Their steak is delicious and soft easy to cut. Worth the price and the staff was very accommodating. 😍
Gem Angeli Burgos07:39 02/25/22
We tried their steak and roast beef. I ordered medium rare steak but I got well done. But it's ok because their steak is delicious and it's soft. Their roast beef was also delicious and super soft. It's easy to cut.

This is our favorite place ever. We celebrate special occasions here! Mainly because of their food, second is the homey feel of the restaurant. I can only speak superlatives about their food. Our favorites include their Buffalo Chicken Wings, Nachos, and Salisbury Steak. Also try their cakes and coffee too!
Sheila C09:44 07/04/23
Cafe Lidia is the epitome of family restaurant serving a wide array of simple and affordable comfort food perfect for the entire brood. Ambience somehow screams nostalgia even to first timers with no personal memories of the place. Service is also friendly and lightning quick.Ample parking available at the empty lot across. Establishment only accepts cash.
Stephanie C08:14 07/02/23
Affordable food, homey feel and good service! Their beef salpicao was flavorful but a bit tough. The shrimp and garlic pizza was also good.
Alyanna Brillantes12:14 04/18/23
This is one of our most favorite restaurants in Marikina. We usually dine in here during special occasions.Menu selection is nice and has many choices for everyone. Our favorites include the Chicken Parmesan, Boneless fried chicken, Buffalo chicken, Beef Salpicao, Aglio olio, Pesto and their Pizza. The quality of the food is consistent throughout the years, but some of the menu had changed like their coffee selection (Really missed their Butterscotch iced coffee - one of the best coffee I tried). Price point is fair considering the quality and service size. Their cakes are also good especially the Sans Rival.Parking is available at a lot in front of the restaurant but may be limited if there is an event at their function hall.Super must try if visiting Marikina.

Kenneth Chua14:42 03/05/23
Overall, the place is decent. A good place for first dates.Place is a bit hidden and a few minutes away from Ayala Mall Feliz. Interior was a bit old school Italian x traditional cafe vibes.Very chill interior and consistent cozy and a bit rustic environment.Food was good for their price point. Quantity was a bit meh, so I suggest ordering a pizza. For quality, you may feel a bit generic / locally sourced ingredients. We ordered buffalo wings, beef *something* pasta, and Pizza Lidia. We finished all normally.Price range was around 250 - 400php which is kinda rare these days, but it just matches the quality served.I can say is it is not the best, but a good place to chill, date, or just have a quick meal.Place - 4.8 / 5 (for not being accessible/easy to find)Food - 4.5 / 5 (just right / value)Service / ambience - 5 / 5Worth trying!!Ps. Food might feel a bit cheap.
Marco Lim13:10 10/23/22
Great food at an affordable price. Good and fast service too. There was a waiting list on our last visit but we got seated pretty quick anyway. Will definitely be coming back here to try everything on the menu.
ely pascual11:50 09/10/22
This is one of my fave restaurant in Marikina. The quality of the food and the taste never change. I love the buffalo, and must have would be the pasta and cakes. I recommend you visit the actual place and try their food so you can enjoy the ambience.
Keith Padilla08:26 08/08/22
Loved it! Went here the first time more than 5 years ago and it feels like nothing has changed. The service is great and the food is absolutely delicious.The prices are fair and around the 200-300+ range which is good value for the quality of the food that you're getting. We got the lasagna and beef salpicao (no picture) and both were amazing. Also got a slice of their smores cake and it was really good too! The slice itself was huge and can easily be shared by 2 people. Overall a must-try in Marikina if you have the time and want simple no-frills comfort food.
Joy Lagac10:58 05/29/22
We visited for snacks at late afternoon and we immediately got our parking space at the designated parking area across the restaurant. No waiting time, got seated and order served early. May improve a little on how waiters served food and even when handing the menu. GCash and cards are accepted as mode of payment. Price is reasonable. No service fee was charged.

The food was amazing, the serving size didn't disappoint since we were starving when we came. The staff was friendly and accommodating as well. We stayed in one of the rooms at the 2nd floor, they have a small nook where you can take photos. It would be great though if the place doesn't feel too hot especially in the middle of day.
scabberooni10:31 04/10/23
I was craving for kinalas and i found this place. Its a small cozy place they claim to be the home of bicolano dishes. Im not bicolano so i cant be a good judge. I however know kinalas. It doesnt come with "gravy" like i had in naga and its not as spicy. With that said it is pretty good. The shredded meat is delish! I also tried their milkshake, its a bit pricey for such a small serving, but its a good milk shake. Made from ice cream.
reymart dellomas05:29 04/08/23
I am pleased to give this restaurant a rating of 4 out of 5 stars. With its combination of chicken wings and steak with coleslaw, it is sure to appeal to a wide range of tastes. The restaurant's great ambiance provides a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere, while the approachable and friendly crew makes for an enjoyable dining experience.The good price and diverse menu add to the restaurant's appeal, making it accessible to a wide range of customers with varying preferences and budgets. While there may be room for improvement in certain areas, such as the quality of the food, overall this restaurant is deserving of a high rating and I would certainly recommend it to others.
Lara Lopez Lara06:27 02/16/23
A must try!!!Inexpensive yet quality food and service!!!If you're a dessert person, this is not a good place to go, since they only serve Ice cream for dessert. But if you loooove meat viands, you won't go wrong with this restaurant!!Their lechon kawali is one of the best I've ever tasted! Their freshly made sambal sauce is also yummy!They have a sweet surprise when they hand over the bill..
Gabriel-Fortunato Eufracio (Gabe)21:08 01/01/23
BEST BICOL FOOD IN THE METROGENEROUS SERVINGThe best food in Marikina for bicolanos who miss their heritage.What I like most is the variety of dishes they have. I think they pushed to spread their menu to showcase dishes covering the entire Bicol region.We ordered several food, and the price was around 150-250 per dish. We didn't expect that this pricing could feed 5 hungry men.We are extremely satisfied and will definitely go back.

Clean and cozy ambiance. Open air. Extensive menu. Huge portion size good for sharing. Value for money. Everything we ordered was yummy and satisfying!Nilagang baka was tender. Chicken wings had a light crunch. Laing with danggit was flavorful.Restaurant is on a busy intersection so the street noise can sometimes be loud (but still tolerable).

Mark Dennis Ong23:06 08/05/23
A place where you can get delicious comfort food and amazing craft beer by Elias brewery. The place is very spacious and you can easily get a table. Service was also very fast. The food was served in less than 10mins. We ordered Fish and Chips, Half rack of baby back ribs and Surf/Turf Pizza. Everything was delicious. My fave was the Fish and Chips. For the beer we tried the Guyabano Cider and its 100% very good! Overall we paid around 1.8K quite pricey but not bad.
Kim Chi15:44 07/20/23
Nice place and ambiance. Just the parking space is a lil inconvenient. As soon as we arrived, the staff called us because there's a customer needed to go out the place. Food was also good. We ordered their pasta, pizza and chicken wings. Serving for the wings was worth it for its price, can be good for at least 2-3 people.

Emeterio Ramos III (Emets)17:12 06/06/23
This one’s a gem! I didn’t know that this place serves good food. I initially thought that this was a cafe. When I entered the store, I already smelled the delicious food. We tried most of their dishes and all of them are undeniably good!!! Will definitely be back again here specially on important occasions.Must try: Chicken Wings & PizzaNeeds improvement: Milkshakes (too sweet)
andi12:27 05/09/23
Great ambiance and delicious food. We enjoyed our dining experience. Over Easy has an extensive menu, so you'll have a lot of options. The BBQ ribs are a must-try; they taste good with the sides. As for the rest, they taste the same as other restaurants, but what made the difference was the commendable customer service. The staff members were so helpful.For drinks, we ordered coolers (no photo) and hot coffee.Others:- They have a bathroom inside- You can also do some work here (we saw a lot of solo diners with their laptops just doing their thing)- The place is clean and well-maintained
Alyanna Brillantes13:08 04/18/23
This is one of the loved restaurants in Marikina that’s why we decided to try this for brunch.The ambience is nice, definitely instagrammable. Unfortunately, one of the staff is quite cold to us, like as if they had a bad day and what made my sister disappointed is that she told us not to seat in a set of chairs because it’s for 6 people only (we are 4 that time) while the place is not crowded that time. Later on, we were served by a friendlier lady. Serving time is okay but they forgot my sister’s order (she got an omelette) which is pretty disappointing considering they double checked our order before and the restaurant is not crowded.The food looks good but the taste is pretty much average. The Pesto pasta is pretty good though. Price may be a bit too high for the quality. They have a pretty good menu selection though. Coffee is pretty good.Parking is available but note that it gets crowded during weekends. I’ll probably be back to give it another chance (because I know a lot of people genuinely love this place) or maybe it’s just too overhyped and our expectations were too high.
Nicki Ann Venezuela04:06 12/28/22
The food tastes good but it is best served when hot. I enjoyed their Salted Caramel milkshake best.One thing I like least is the ambience as I prefer to hang out and eat in a more relaxed ambience. The restaurant is so popular that it gets crowded and too noisy.
ely pascual11:45 09/10/22
Ambience is perfect for a warm date with your partner or with the group of friends. Staff are approachable and quick for any request. The food is good. Cant complain. Will go back to try others on the menu
Trina16:48 10/12/21
Ambience was super nice. They require vaccination cards if you want to dine in. It's also very spacious and clean. I love the interior and the high ceiling! Their pasta servings are good for sharing! I highly recommend their Pesto pasta, it's creamy and it tastes so delicious. Their pizza crust is crunchy and tastes so good!! They were generous with the toppings. We ordered the Garlic and Cheese pizza and I took some home and it was still crunchy! I also had their strawberry milkshake. The size is perfect but it's a bit too sweet for me. The blueberry cheesecake is perfect though. I will definitely order a full size for a special occasion, next time.

The food that we ordered was so great. I love the place and the ambience.The staff was very accommodating. Especially Mr. Anthony, one of their staff, who accommodated us and for being so professional. Thank you, will definitely come back again.
Al Macapinlac06:28 05/17/23
Finally, we were able to get a table (for 2). The place was always full starting 12.15 pm (according to the server). This time, we arrive 11.45 am 😉Of the delectable items (pictures in the menu), we decided to try their baby back ribs and their house salad. We requested that the order be split.Their serving portions were good for two (seniors like us). The posted picture is already half (split) of the regular serving.Their staff were courteous and accommodating. Requested for warm water instead of cold, and they promptly provided.As a whole, serving size, price point, staff, and ambiance We’ll surely bring the children over when we're in the area.
Noel Gamo09:15 05/11/23
We had dinner here last Sunday and we arrived at around 7:45 p.m. Good thing there was still one parking slot left (out of 6, I think). The ambiance was very nice. Warm yellow light but well lit just like Iike it. The food was ok. The flavor was good, but there were some issues. My daughter had roast beef and there was a lot of fat. Still, she said there was enough meat for her to be satisfied with the portion. For my baby back ribs, the flavor was good, but the meat was not fall off the bone as you would expect. It was a bit tough actually. My wife had grilled pork belly churrasco and it was very good. By the way, I was about to finish my iced tea when I saw a softdrink bottle cap in my glass. I didn't make a fuss. They just took it off my tab. They also gave me a baby back rib to go for free. It was not as tough but still not fall off the bone. Service was great and the price was very reasonable. About P1,500 for the 3 of us with drinks and one salad and one senior citizen discount.
Teena Custodio17:18 05/02/23
Their food is satisfactory! However, the atmosphere is everything! I simply despise other customers who are not sensitive enough to the other diners, to the point where they are laughing loudly without regard for the other customers! I just wished that the staff had approached them and asked them to behave.
Mike Uy03:18 04/27/23
Great dining experience. You should try. Wide selection of food on the menu. Meat lovers, vegetarians and kid friendly food. Recommended. Yummy! 😋👍🏻
Toi Bornas (Toi)23:54 11/20/22
Really glad we went to this place.Parking was easy as their space could easily fit around 10 vehicles.Inside the restaurant, there is this homey and chilled vibe. A great place to eat as a couple or with the barkada or family.Now the food. We got their baby back ribs, baby squid, tahong in tomato sauce and salad. We also ordered their strawberry shake.Everything was really good! Everything tasted great! Everything became our favorite. It was that good!We will definitely visit again and taste their other offering. Just one visit is not enough.
Inday Pana14:49 08/25/22
Great place to meet with friends. Food is good. Menu consists mostly of pasta and steaks . They told us we can also order food from the Comedor (Filipino menu), also their restaurant across the street if we want. Staffs are attentive and friendly. Place is cozy. Music isn't loud. Enough space on each table for privacy with other guests.
Stephen Joseph Lingad07:54 02/17/22
Had our lunch at this place today! The place and ambiance is nice! The food is great and is worth the price! The Cheesy Baked Mussel, Parmesan Crusted Salmon and the Rib-eye Steak is a must try! The only thing we're not happy about is the food serving time. It took 40mins. before we had our pumpkin soup and almost an hour before we had the mussel, salmon and steak.

We enjoyed our orders which were mostly breakfast fare. will be back to try out their other menu items. The place, where a large part is not airconditioned, was still breezy. Lots of cinema historical info in their decor
Elle Bilocura12:27 08/05/23
Went here for brunch during weekend. There are a lot of customers during brunch time. There are a lot of tables available and service is fast. We ordered Bangus meal, their signature Palabok, Pandesal, Hot Chocolate, Lumpiang Toge, and Lumpiang Sariwa. Everything's delicious and we enjoyed our food.
J T23:31 07/02/23
I love the ambiance, cozy and homey.Service was good, staffs were very friendly and accomodating.Food is good, we had breakfast and enjoyed everything from coffee down to the last bite.Forgot to mention, breads are baked in pugon oven so you get that wonderful hickory smell. Another important point for their bread being properly fermented before baking giving you that wonderful aroma and springiness rarely found nowadays.
Undisclosed Traveller09:42 06/21/23
We went there early in the morning to have a light breakfast and to check the place out for a meeting.The place was not too big but not small either. Lots of memorabilia decorating the walls. There were also antiquities displayed.Food was served hot. We only ordered arroz caldo but it was really good. We ordered the almusal fiesta platter with tocino, fried bangus and longanisa vigan which comes with 4 eggs and 4 cups garlic rice. The platter was good for 4 but I think you can stretch it to 5 people sharing. Take out took a long time, though.Ambiance was really nice. The staff were friendly and the place was clean.The restaurant itself is not air conditioned but the air circulation was good so it’s not as hot even at noontime. An air-conditioned room is available for a separate fee and reservation.Pets are allowed inside as long as they are wearing nappies.Chess museum was exquisite.Wash room was clogged (at least in the ladies’ room).
Shiela Marie Tobias11:10 04/27/23
I recently visited this restaurant with my family and was pleasantly surprised by the unique and inviting interior decor. The nature-inspired theme was beautifully executed, and the addition of a chess museum was a delightful touch. My daughter, in particular, was thrilled to explore the place and learn more about the game.But it wasn't just the ambiance that impressed me; the food was superb as well! The bread, in particular, was simply amazing. The aroma alone was enough to make my mouth water, and the taste did not disappoint. The rest of the menu was equally impressive, with a variety of dishes to suit any taste. The Filipino breakfast meal we ordered has really big serving.The staff was friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout our meal. I especially appreciated their knowledge of the menu and their willingness to make recommendations based on our preferences.Overall, I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique dining experience with delicious food and a fun, educational atmosphere.

Pan De Amerikana Bakery and Restaurant is one of the target restaurants foodies wandering in Marikina would want to dine in. This place has a truly incredible, one-of-a-kind setting. The décors are effortlessly classy, bringing a sense of nostalgia without the tackiness. I was especially fascinated by the giant chessboard with 3.5-feet high plastic chess pieces imported all the way from New York City, life-sized wind-driven Netherland windmill, rope bridge (on the second floor, sorry it’s not in the pictures), koi pond, traviesa benches, calesa, Italian colonnade European ruins, frames on a wall and the indoor tropical rainforest plants that serve a purpose—to give a nice feel-good factor as they lift your spirits. Because of the instagrammable decorations, we almost forgot to order what we came for… I ordered halo-halo and pansit palabok although they have other food in the menu… the places closes at 6pm….

Food was ok. The service was horrible. The servers take so long and they mix up all the orders. They billed us more than what we ordered too, but it was rectified right away. Atmosphere is so-so. Place is so hot! Needs better roof to repel the heat especially during summer.
Grace C04:32 06/13/22
This was our go to place before the pandemic. The food looks and taste nice and the serving was generous before. The place gives you a homey vibe.. Which we love❤️❤️❤️But now the food still taste good but the utensils get easily broken and the serving was not worth the price. All meals are included with bottled drinks.The place has more instagrammable spots than the tables allotted 😊 still nice though
Princess Elle21:51 06/12/22
I'll give a 5 star for the ambiance. It's been a while since I visited this place, a lot of improvement and enhancement. So instagrammable. The food are tasty, however, the servings is too small so you'll feel that this place is expensive. But i love the fact that they are using natural products like banana leaves and wooden utensils.
Alliah Czarielle Guerra10:29 06/05/22
Pretty place with lots of knick-knacks that make for good photo backgrounds. Food is so-so and service can be a tad slow, but not an issue considering that there are lots of things to do. There's a setup with giant chess pieces and a mini-golf course. In a hidden part of the place, there is a decorated garden swing next to a "stream" with some fish in it. So relaxing! And of course, there are the more obvious attractions like the kalesa (which one can ride and pose in), the old-fashioned living room with non-working appliances, a provincial type shed, and other quirky pieces such as upside-down tables, cars/jeeps, a drum set, and a piano. That's just what I can narrate off the top of my head. Good place for family bonding.
Minnie Aban01:50 01/28/22
i really love their bread. Perfectly baked esp. their famous pandesal. There are lots of variety of baked pastries to choose from. Breakfast and lunch is being served. Also, the place is original with the city and province kind of vibe, mixed in one place.

Went for weekend brunch and as expected, there are a lot of customers. The place has a lot of tables available for dine in customers, but indoor seating is limited.We ordered silog meals, iced coffee, and mixed berries pancake. We waited more than 30 mins to be served, and it looks like they're understaffed.The silog meals are okay, as well as the coffee. I really enjoyed their Mixer Berries Pancake. It is fluffy and fruity.Would recommend visiting the place earlier than 10 am, especially for alfresco seating if for weekend breakfast or brunch
Eric G11:20 07/29/23
I have to admit. The food far exceeds my expectations. I was stunned when the food arrived at the table looking like a 5 star gourmet meal. Their custom brewed Iced Tea is awesome the only fault with it, is that the mint buries the taste of the tea. I really expect to taste the tea primarily as I do with a coffee drinkService was very slow and when we arrived the tables were littered with dirty dishes.They should invest a bit more in maintenance of their restaurant.In spite of this. I’ll likely eat there once a week.
Carlo Sequitin21:37 07/27/23
Menu list is long and first one I ordered, and what I came here for (eggs ben) wasn’t available. Ordered PB banana waffle and it was okay (plating was nice though). Came in for a really early breakfast and for a 24 hour resto, the place was a bit untidy.
Garvin Velasco06:34 05/02/23
Food was okay, but not the same as before. Coffee was bland. Service can be improved. Place needs to be cleaned as there were a lot of dust and trash on the floor inside the dining area.
Eagle Ten00:08 03/03/23
It's my first time in this branch but the food is consistently amazing. The al fresco seating looks great, but I decided to try the air-conditioned section to better see outside. Not sure if I just arrived too early for breakfast, but the usual piped-in music was missing. Couldn't complain though, as it was a fine experience overall.
Rocky Acot06:15 12/30/22
This is bang for the buck, value for money. They only accept GCash and cash, though. No credit cards.Lots of out-of-stock meals when we ate post-Christmas. Good, hearty meals, very sharp pricing, but interminably slow service. Which is why I asked for my coffee well in advance.Parking is terrible, so try to park your car discreetly at the street parking right across the street.When it's summer - forget about dining al fresco during daytime hours.
Mikko Sercado13:18 11/30/22
Very affordable restaurant for staple Filipino breakfast cuisine. I can highly recommend their gourmet sausage, truly different from store bought sausages. They have quite a large selection of food to choose from. You can also customize your meal, and it's without extra charges. Coffee is great, not too sweet and the serving size is enough. Bonus: there's a smoking area.Cons: The cr. It needs a little bit more maintenance and cleaning. Male's CR is under repair. We visited Nov. 30, 2022.
Martin J L10:38 08/30/22
Good ambiance. Lucky to get a parking in front. Usually super hard to park during breakfast hours.Order takes around 20 minutes to be served.Lots of breakfast options to choose from. Beef tapa and crispy corned beef is super good! I would recommend the crispy corned beef because it's something unusual.
pjacp16:22 08/17/22
Breakfast for the ultimate foodie is right here at Kanto Freestyle 😋😋😋 reasonable pricing, comfortable ambience and hands down mouthwatering food - it is no surprise that why this humble cafe continues to rack in a good crowd💕Top favorites and recommendations:Fluffy PancakesEggs Benedict - the hashbrowns are absolutely excellent!Plating is still very impressive and waitstaff are as respectful as ever. This still remains one of my favourite breakfast places in the Metro 💕😋😋
zarian08:50 06/06/22
I haven't been to the actual place but the to-go experience is very goodIf you are looking for breakfast food, or brunch, or some pancakes and waffles or fried oreos. definitely give them a chance!The food is cooked well and the selection they have of what they serve is better than most breakfast places.Sometimes I've ordered Tocino in places and half of the meat was just fat, here I could actually eat the entire meal and be satisfied. the serving of garlic rice is good as well, and I like the touch of pesto on the tomatoes, it elevates what is usually mundane on breakfast foods.Anyway I buy from them now pretty regularly because if I am just looking for some breakfast, the prices they have are actually competitive enough such that it's comparable to just cooking at homeThe prices are very reasonable!
gina laririt10:05 01/23/22
Upside...good food presentation, still liked the sausage compared to the other food we ordered, and staff are friendlier compared to the ones in BGC is a plus! Downside, still very slow service. They should be more considerate given the hot weather and all they have is alfresco dining and only one fan working. They also need to tidy up the place to improve customer experience.

I’ve heard good things about this place so I went in with high expectations. However, went on a Sunday for lunch and I was underwhelmed. We got their lengua and sausage platter + regular sangria and the milkshake version and honestly, nothing stood out. The wine milkshake was a novelty, surprisingly worked well together. Plating was also pretty and ambiance was good.Might have to try their bestsellers to have a better judgment of the place. Having said that, I can see why people and families go here and Im not opposed to go back again - with slightly lowered expectations definitely.
Sherlan Emmanuel Burgonia16:06 06/13/23
Fino Deli, nestled in a residential subdivision in Marikina, exudes a rustic vibe and boasts an impressive array of wine offerings. The spacious parking area was a welcome convenience. Despite dining on a Wednesday, the restaurant was bustling, a testament to the quality of their food. The menu offers a great selection, and I particularly enjoyed their truffle pasta, charcuterie, and pizza. However, the tomahawk pork and filet mignon were a bit dry. Nonetheless, Fino Deli comes highly recommended for its charming ambiance and overall delicious offerings.
Archie Noel Chua14:59 06/05/23
Came here from a friends recommendation meet up with a friend from sg. Nice place, nice ambiance, good for bringing a date, ordered peperoni pizza, cheese pizza, paella and chicken pesto. Food is good, they have good selection of wine. Service was fast, staff are very accommodating. Ample parking space. Price ₱₱₱
Pao Vergara12:41 05/26/23
It's my first time trying this place, and I was craving for authentic Italo-American pasta after a long week and I wasn't disappointed!Usually we judge a resto by the first dishes we try. Got the seafood aglio olio (w/c I often make at home) and a side of grilled chicken.Even if the chicken lost heat given the strong aircon (ya u can dress up here ganda ng ambiance), you could tell that it was cooked well, with the flavors infusing past the skin.Now the main event: Despite it being evening, the seafood was still very fresh, and they chose bigger portions too. In consideration of those allergic, the chili flakes and parmagiano are served upon request. The noodles were cooked al dente (not too soggy, not too hard), and the sauce didn't compete with but enhanced the proteins.They served complimentary bread (a baguette today) with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Hopefully foccacia next time!Excellent, considerate service too, so the service charge feels #dasurv.10/10 would go back!Check my photos for ambiance.
Aiko Iwadate19:11 03/26/23
Was intimidated to dine here before as it projects a fine dining ambience yet now that I tried, price is reasonable to its taste and quality. They highly recommend table reservations which I did via Viber. We dined on a Sunday lunch. I came before 12nn and it was just a group on another table then me, moments later, they got almost full.Everthing we ordered (food name on captions) were so good! I watched videos and read reviews so I followed their recos and they weren’t wrong!Super good yung Tomahawk lalo pag sabay yung fat + meat w the sauce then risotto. Pesto is not oily which I liked, compared sa ibang resto na drenched in oil. Truffle mushroom serves what you’d expect yung umami yummy creamy taste. Then Cinco Queso, thin crust pero di ka maghahabol ng lasa ng cheese must order nga! Sangria, not really a fan pero so good! Generous serving in big wine glass same w Strawberry Merlot na super good and refeshing. I liked it better than Sangria pero my sister opts for the latter 😄Hidden gem in Marikina and I hope ma-maintain yung ambience, quality ng food and exclusivity
Jovz Salla19:01 02/05/23
Pretty pricey for family lunch or dinner. Food was nothing extraordinary for its price. There are other places I can get the same taste that are alot more affordable. It's pretty good though - the fam liked it.Recommended for dates with wine.
Mike Uy07:21 10/09/22
Had a wonderful dining experience…a must try fine dining restaurant in Marikina. Food is great and a fine selection of wine 🍷. So if you’re looking for a cozy, quiet place for a date… this is the place to go. And also Paella 🥘 is a must…Yummy! 😋👍🏻
Vicente Tenefrancia16:42 08/09/22
Food is great! Ambiance is relaxing. The place could be full but not that noisy. Separate comfort rooms for male and female. With urinal and separate toilet for men. Wash area complete with soap and paper towel. All clean and no smell.Wait staff are very attentive and courteous.
Nescio10:02 03/10/22
The food here is very good and the portions are large. Unfortunately I had some bad luck with my steak, difficult to chew. But since there was plenty of food on the plate, I got ribs. The service is good and attentive. Drinks were delicious too. The restaurant has comfortable chairs, the table wobbled a bit, but we were able to fix that with a napkin. Overall we were satisfied.
JM M13:49 02/20/22
The deli is located in a residential area in Marikina which for me adds to its charm,the ambience is nice, its not generic but isn't outstanding either.The food was excellent , they are the epitome of you bang for buck, you get good portions that taste amazing.Worth making the trip.

MI AND DI TV03:40 02/18/23
The food is not masarap like seafood rebosado and pork lechon sisig. The serving is too little too. The shrimp is so small covered with thick flour with sauce similar to street foods. The price is too expensive too.
Eric Frigillana01:39 01/25/23
Good Food, but not so fast service, considering there were not much people dining in. The price is a little bit higher than other restaurants. With few parking slots, and friendly staff.
Venrey Romer Margallo (Romer)04:41 01/12/23
We celebrated my father’s bday here. It’s early dinner time. We ordered several dishes and it took 30-45 mins to serve one of the easiest dish specifically chopseuy but it came very late.
Captain Rufus12:02 09/30/22
Best restaurant experience in Marikina, worth every peso. Well established with a wide variety of dishes focussed on Chinese and Filipino dishes, expertly cooked. Great service from the team well done Luyong!

KikayKHIT (KikayKHIT)13:59 11/01/21
THE WORST PANCIT na try namin. We were very disappointed. We were trying to search for pancit bilao and we found Luyong on Google listed as one of the best pancit near us . i have never tasted this kind of Pancit before. It tastes like MALANSANG Pork Nilaga. The noodles were so overcooked and there's this weird taste. It looks like they also forgot to put soy sauce or oyster sauce coz the color was so light. We were a fan of pancit from Ado's,Amber's,Inengs,Johnnys,Contis etc..and I can't even compare this Lulongs pancit. After my first bite,I immediately spit it out that i can't even let it last 5seconds inside my mouth.And how can we forget the Lumpiang Shanghai, Omg...the pork inside has weird smell and we found few pieces with raw meat. It's so gross. The fact that we paid over 1k for the 2 orders..were so glad we didn't order all of our food from this restaurant coz probabky we can't eat anything. Oh I almost forgot,their lumpia sauce was like water with a drop of ketchup. Gross!Date ordered :Nov 1,2021Time : 10:42am
