We had the pumpkin soup and the mushroom pesto. The soup was so smooth, warm, and flavorful. The pesto was delicious and garlicky. They had a great list of menu items to chose from. The crepe cakes also looked delicious but we were too full to try one. If I lived in Makati I would go there everyday. The server was also so nice and the restaurant was so cute.

They're not all the same. Cafe France at the Shell station on SLEX has always been a favorite…read morebreakfast place for me when I'm on my way to my farm in Canlubang, my ancestral houses in Tagaytay, or my beach-houses in Lian, Batangas. And my favorite usually is the Breakfast Deluxe which is two eggs (over easy or malasado in the local dialect), two slices of baloney, two short links of hotdog, one slice of bacon, a short baguette with strawberry jam and butter, a mug of coffee, and a small glass of orange juice. So when I started to get hungry and it was past 730am already, I decided to look for a nearby Cafe France. I found the one in Zeta Building on Salcedo Street, in Legaspi Village. Thinking that it was also a Cafe France branch, I ordered my usual Breakfast Deluxe but what I go was a lot less than what the SLEX branch gives me. First of all, I only got one slice of baloney, one short link of hotdog and one slice of bacon. But what killed it was the cold baguette. Baguette must be served freshly heated from the toaster oven. A cold chewy baguette will ruin the entire breakfast. And so we learn another lesson today. They are not all the same. Never again to the Zeta branch. Sayang, malapit pa naman sana sa amin.

But, if…read moreanything, Cafe France is a nice, simple place to grab a decent, quiet lunch and some coffee, a place you can comfortably eat alone in peace, or can also be a nice place to eat with your friends....grandparents (haha, they love this place). If you're looking for a place to meet people for work meetings that isn't Starbucks or somewhere stiff and pricey, this place is a good choice For vegans, they recently added a No Meat Sandwich to their menu, which thankfully does not taste as bland as the name makes it sound. It's packed with some good veggie selections and the flavor is pretty okay, but I would personally slather it with mustard, though. They also have a decent, Fruit and Nut salad as well. I was also gifted with a small jar of Cafe France's Espresso Booster, which are ground coffee beans covered in dark chocolate. Not only is it freaking addictive, it REALLY wakes the hell out of you. Great for munching one while working on your desk! Also, it's non-dairy and vegan!

Fantastic crepes. Two words that describe Cafe Breton best. But of course, a café isn't just their…read moredelicious crepes. As it is popular, the place is pretty busy at all hours of the day so if you're unable to relax in good company and enjoy a discussion while your order is being prepared you might want to find it within you to just chill. Cause the wait is worth it, and we can all find the time (unless you have a meeting you're running off to!) The atmosphere is perfect for unwinding and relaxing over a chat with your friends and family, with cheerful splashes of color, ambiance to match the café mood and a nice view of the pretty surroundings in the neighbourhood. They serve awesome coffee and awesome frappes that naturally go so well with crepes. A good pairing in my opinion, it's what I tend to get, is their Lost Paradise with a nice Café Liegois. And naturally I would suggest going so far as getting a savory crepe and then finishing with a sweet crepe. Tops.

I LOVE CAFE BRETON It is my favorite places to go to for…read morecrepes. They have the BEST crepes, I promise these crepes will not disappoint. Although Cafe Breton does offer savory meals, it's really their crepes and coffee you should try. The crepes here aren't soft and pancake textured, or too thick, or tasteless. The crepes themselves are light, super thin, and flavorful. They also cook it so that the edges kind of crisp up a bit (BEST PART!). They have so many different crepe combinations and you can even DIY them! They have blueberry cream crepe with blueberry compote, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream (they're very generous with their whipped cream) which is stellar. They have classic combos like nutella and mangoes. BUT what you really really NEED TO do is ignore all those fancy crepes, all you need to order is their simple and classic BUTTER & SUGAR crepe. I know, what am I saying. Really? YES, REALLY. It may sound unexciting but trust me when you taste this you will feel the excitement. This crepe is loaded with butter (THANK YOU) and sugar and it forms are crisp outside cause of the sugar, the inside is so buttery this almost reminded me oddly of an egg tart. Their coffee is local, they don't sell it commercially but trust me when you taste it you wish they did! One of the best coffee in the Metro.

The place is still the same and still love to go here for breakfast especially or lunch and dinner. The servers are great and place is always clean. My favorite now is Lugaw and fresh mango shake. Their Rockefeller Oysters are still good and the oysters are a little bigger this time; and still comes with two pieces in each shell. I can tell they clean the oysters off the shell as it's not grainy. Totally, recommend still for their food options, service and meal options. [8/100] ------------------Review 1 year ago-------------- Via Mare Oyster Bar is another chain of Filipino's food. This is the second restaurant chain that I have gone too in Manila. This one serves oysters in menu but I don't think oysters is a normal part of the Filipino culture? A medium priced restaurant for their menu. This restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered a few dishes to try. Mom ordered 'Pinais na Alimasag' which was two blue crab de shelled and cooked with coconut milk. It came with bagoong rice and two pieces of egg roll that did not have a lot of flavor. The crab dish was very salty but went with the egg roll. I had their Lugaw Toppings. Basically, it's guto soup (rice porridge) with all the fixings. You only need to add calamansi since the soup was salty enough. We also ordered two different kinds of oysters. We ordered 'Parmesan' and 'Napolitains'. The 'Parmesan' really did not have flavor but that you would add the sea salt to it. I liked the 'Napolitains' as it has cheese, tomato sauce and herbs. The oysters are very small but each shell comes with two small oysters. These are more like New Orleans dishes than Filipino food? I love their fresh mango drinks! Tastes just like ripe Filipino mango blended only! Me fave!! The food came out fast except for the oysters. The service was good but when asking for the bill, it always seems to take them forever to give us the bill like other Filipino restaurants here in the PI? I wonder why that is? Rating is more of a three and a half stars instead of four. Everything is good but will be back for breakfast!! I think I like that more than dinner. [66/100]

There are places that are worth going to even if they're totally out of the way or tucked in the…read moremiddle of nowhere. For me, one such place is the Dutch Bread Hauz. This quaint shop is first and foremost a bakery but they also offer meals, coffee, and snacks on the side. The smell of chocolate and bread in the oven wafting from the kitchen greet customers the moment they step inside this bread house. On the counter you will see various types of dinner rolls, croissants, buns, and breads. Although they serve familiar dishes, like lechon kawali with rice and chicken shawarma, I chose to try Dutch specialty snacks which -- according to the staff -- were made using traditional means from the Netherlands. I was a bit adventurous so I got Berehap (slices of meat ball and onion on a stick served with peanut sauce) and Bitterballen (small meat-based balls served with mustard, a favorite snack from Holland). My wife was hungry this time and she was not in the mood to try products she can't pronounce so she decided to have parma ham and cheese sandwich. The attendant asked her to choose the type of bread for the sandwich and she picked spelt, a type of bread made from hulled or dinkel wheat that's popular in Europe. Of course, both of us had coffee. I was glad that we decided to drop by this place because the coffee was good as expected from Lavazza and the food was different but surprisingly savory. The spelt bread was tough and heavy so I don't think anyone could finish one order of sandwich using this bread. I liked my order of Berehap. The sausage was a bit salty when eaten on its own but a bite of the sweet onion and a dab of the peanut sauce neutralizes the saltiness. My wife liked the Bitterballen dipped in mustard. She said it was similar to croquettes because it's crunchy on the outside but a bit gooey on the inside. The place is clean, well-maintained, and generally peaceful so I think this is an ideal place for a meeting. It's also worth noting that their restroom faucet comes with hot or cold water. Parking can be a problem but if you do not mind walking for one or two kilometers, you can park your car at Power Plant Mall and just walk your way to Dutch Bread Hauz.

Everyone else in my group really enjoyed their meals as well, so it's a very consistent spot for a crowd. The service is incredibly friendly and respectful, which we really appreciated. As for the atmosphere, it's very nice, especially if you can snag a table outside to enjoy the Greenbelt greenery. The only downside is the surrounding area after dark. Once night falls, the immediate vicinity becomes increasingly difficult to walk around without being constantly propositioned, which definitely changes the vibe of the evening
