Seafood Laksa was excellent! Had Gambas, Pork Belly and Carbonara as well. They all tasted great but the Laksa left a very good impression! Will definitely go back!
Great food. I don't think I'll ever eat crispy pata anywhere else after I tasted theirs. I'm not a big fan of pork, but their crispy pata and sisig won me over. Even my brother who's a picky eater agrees. If you're a fan of spicy food, you must try their dynamite too. Just the right ratio of cheese and chili. Servings are big too so the prices are justified! They don't use MSG and have healthy options if you're dining with friends who prefer to eat healthy.
Inexpensive but healthy champorado. Better than most pricier ones I’ve tasted in restaurants. 👌🏻 lagi ako kumakain dito pag umuulan..sarap kasi ng champorado.. perfect for the weather..
Dined @ their Merville Branch with friends/officemates. Food are all yummy from appetizers, main courses to desserts. You'll be confuse on what will be your favorite :) Staff are very friendly and always greet you with warm welcome. Kudos to Sir Eric and staff!! We had a great time...till our next visit ;)
Their staff and service is superb! Their dinuguan with puto is very delicious! I tried their crispy pata as well and it’s crispy and tasty! There was a week that I ate here 3 times.

On a sunny day, this is a very bright place, with overpowering light coming in from glass windows that make up an entire wall. For someone with sensitive eyes like me, this took some adjusting at first, and so I was hoping the food was good at least. It was!
The dishes we ordered did not disappoint. We chose those that had 3 stars beside their names on the menu, indicating that they were probably bestsellers.
We started with French Onion Soup, which was ok as far as French Onion Soups go. But since I order this same soup in almost every resto I go to that serves it, I can say it was good, but not the best I've tasted. But it was still satisfying.
The Adobong Puti was not very maputi (white), but given that there are a dozen different ways to cook and present adobo, I thought this was still a very pleasant version--with crispy bits and lots of garlic, the way I like it. We also enjoyed the Arroz ala Cubana, which had a generous serving of its famous ingredients--ground pork, fried egg, fried plantains, and rice. Note: There is no MSG in any of their dishes, which is plus points in my book!
On a less bright day, I would have been able to appreciate the very charming interiors and furnishings a lot more. I look forward to going back, maybe in the late afternoon or evening when the sun has gone down.
I highly recommend this place.. The ambiance is so cozy and their service is excellent. Their aligue pasta is a must try too.. Defunitely the best!👍👍
81 Cafe and Bistro: Definitely a highly recommended restaurant down South. Excellent food, ambiance and service. One of the best Sisig ever, Aligue pasta, Spinach ravioli and Adobo sa puti are something you will crave for once you tasted it. 😋😍 #81eats

AMBIANCEGranted, for most of our visit we had the place to ourselves, but the interiors (think mismatched chairs and tables but in a specific color palette) and lovely view of the church across the mall gave 81 Cafe & Bistro a relaxing feel. Thoroughly charmed by the little knickknacks on their display shelves and dining tables up-cycled from old sewing machines (the pedals still work!).
FOOD
Mozzarella sticks: delicious, though when served their bright color had some of us joking they resembled carrot sticks. (Note on several of their serving platters: they come with built-in spots for dips and sauces)
Pork sisig: It was recommended we not share a serving because it was that good. That proved to be accurate. Crunchy and flavorful, no yucky rubbery bits to chew XD
Chorizas: Chopped up chorizo in their bed of oil—between both this and the sisig, be prepared to order more than a cup of rice
Margherita pizza: the crust wasn't overwhelming nor too thin.
Pork belly: soft and also delicious
Brewed coffee: We're not connoisseurs, but my husband and I loved their coffee :)
Special mention: their Spicy Chilli Oil: I literally smeared this on everything I ate—from my rice to the sisig—and it added an amazing zing. I bought a bottle to take home.
SERVICE
Staff was courteous and answered questions on pizza toppings and entree ingredients well.
Overall we had good food in a relaxing ambiance—we'll definitely visit again! :)
My staff and I had our Christmas dinner here. Aside from the excellent food, the service was superb. We kept ordering sangria to go with our roast chicken and sisig and the staff was so accommodating, efficient and helpful.
