Absolutely loved Café Adriatico! The food was delicious full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is cozy, stylish, and full of character the perfect place to relax and enjoy great food. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Definitely a must-visit spot in Manila! 🌸🍽️✨ We always come back to Cafe Adriatico to enjoy their food. There is always an endless choice from their excellent selections. This is in addition to the favorite orders we never tire of, especially their exceptional desserts. Once the staff gets familiar with you, you are always expertly taken very good care of. I highly recommend CA anytime! We were pleasantly surprised by the generous portions here! What we ordered: ✅ Farmer's Breakfast (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) – A delicious balance of sweet and sour flavors from the pork and egg, perfectly paired with garlic fried rice. ✅ Landlord's Breakfast (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) – The smoky, flavorful sirloin, textured sausage, and well-cooked scrambled egg all come together beautifully with garlic fried rice. The rice itself is decent but feels a bit average compared to the high-quality main components. The fresh, sweet mango adds a refreshing touch to the meal! Each dish comes with a complimentary black coffee + milk and a glass of cold water—such a great bonus! The staff were incredibly friendly and enthusiastic, explaining the menu in detail and even advising us not to order extra drinks since we already got free ones. Though the space isn't too large, it's still cozy. We were lucky to get a seat by the window, offering a great view of Adriatico Street, adding to the authentic Manila experience. Highly recommended if you're visiting the Philippines and will spend some time in Manila!

I went here because of Andrew E’s classic hit pop song Banyo Queen. I was supposed to order beer for the vibe, but found out brewed coffee is complimentary, so i went for the caffeinated beverage instead. Ordered the farmer’s breakfast but the leafy salad wasn’t served. At first glance the turon looked like a savory lumpiang toge. I prefer my tocino be somewhat overcooked. They served it “wet”. Still tasty, though. Restroom is on the 2nd floor.

The most satisfying meal in the Philippines in my view. Ordered the pork knuckle and pork belly and although you really can get by with just one pork dish, they were just so damn GOOD!!!!! I felt like I needed to have a nap after 😂 Can't recommend enough
