Reviews Relish Cafe At Madison

Nice place, Good food and nice service waiter n manager.

Delicious food, nice place and very accommodating crews.

Love the food and ambiance! Great dining experience. More power!

You would definitely enjoy eating here. Waiters are prompt and would even help you with the menu. Love their salad and appetizer. The pasta was a bit salty for me but i still liked it.

Relish delivers quality dishes masked in comfort food. On this big birthday party here last Monday, Mia and I had quite an enjoyable feast. The price points are high but justified.

Mia got her fave Truffle Pasta while I indulged on Bangus Sinigang and their best selling Relish Roast Chicken. My picks were so good I finished all the rice I ordered. We shared a glass of refreshing Mint Cucumber Lemonade too!

We veered away from their in-house dessert because we had to consume a humongous carrot cake we brought along. They do have an interesting line-up of sweets.

Superb ambience and flavorful food!

I and my husband with our little one visited this restaurant to have a simple celebration. We are first timer here.

Their menu have a lot to offer. We ordered Greek Summer Pasta, Relish Roasted Chicken, and Relish Special Sisig. Their pastas and house specialties are good for sharing if your capacity is not that much. I love the greek pasta and sisig. The roasted chicken is also good. Our bill is around 1,200 inclusive of Vat and SC.

The ambience is elegant, cozy, neat, and relaxing.
We will surely come back here to try their other dishes.

Our first time in Madison. Love the resto/cafe choices! Relish has such a relaxed vibe, I'm thinking of holding my next meeting or casual get-together here. The interiors look fresh and summery, and the tables were spacious. The serving staff was very courteous and helpful, especially when I kept asking questions about which dish to order.

We were on a simple lunch date, so we went for familiar-sounding dishes. We had Hickory Smoked Barbeque Pork Belly w/ mashed potatoes, and Cream Dory w/ Lemon Pepper Sauce and Herb Butter Rice. The pork belly was flavorful and filling. It was good. But that lemon pepper sauce on the cream dory was very, very much to my liking. I've tried a good number of similar fish dishes elsewhere, and this one (imho) is the best so far. So creamy, with just the right tanginess. Even the herb butter rice I really enjoyed. I would definitely go back for that.

For dessert, we had coffee and shared a slice of Lemon Tart. Together with my tall glass of lemonade with green mint, we had a very nice, color-coordinated table! Needless to say, we had an enjoyable time here.

Found myself at the other side of town on a weekday. I was in a meeting in Alabang held in the sweet & pretty Relish cafe. Plus points for it being desserted on a weekday past lunch time.

We basically ordered the bestsellers. We started with the delicious artichoke dip, served with tortillas. I had the roast beef that was so tender and yummy! Paired it with mashed potatoes. My companion had the roast chicken, another classic from this restaurant. No desserts for us!

I loved this branch because of the delightful interiors that is better-kept than their Morato branch. To be fair, I believe this is a more recent branch though. Lovely white and green flower arrangements all around. I also liked the courteous staff... I saw that they were offering afternoon tea. I don't know if their Morato branch has this as well, but it is surely something I wpuld like to try...

I really liked the food and the vibe. I have a thing for quiet and cozy restaurants. Plus points, it smells so good inside!!!
I ordered their roast chicken. The chicken's fall off the bones, and mashed potato was so creamy.
I got a taste of my mom's lengua, and I appreciated how tender the beef was.
Only downside: chicken was a bit oily.

Me and my family came across this restaurant in Alabang Hills so we tried it out.

What caught my attention is their interior design, its quiant and its coZy. The cuisine is somehow similar to Conti's though.

So we ordered the following:

Pork sisig - this is under appetizer but we made it our main dish haha. Its crispy with the right amount of mayonnaise. Its perfect.

Herb roasted chicken - the chicken itself is really flavorful. Dip it with their sauces and its really worth the price. I can recommend this dish.

Cream dory with lemon pepper sauce - the sauce is creamy. The lemon is not overpowering the whole dish.

Cheese artichoke dip - i love the ratio of cheese and artichoke. Its not nakakaumay at all.

Chocolate fondue - banana, mango, marshmallows and apples with their homemade chocolate sauce.

Beef salpicao - nothing special here

The servers are very accommodating and attentive to our needs. The ambiance is really nice. I will definitely come back here to try their other dishes

I love the ambience of the place, especially the fact that they're using some kind of aroma therapy oil. A wonderful place to have a relaxing lunch out with loved ones.

We ordered Humus and Pita for the appetizer, which was AMAZING. But I'm biased because i just love Humus 😂 But really, try the humus :))) And the Seafood Pomodoro was so gooood definitely my favorite 💕 The fish and chips were okay, and the Pork Belly could have been better, but it was all tasty nonetheless.

Will definitely be coming back here 💕

A few months back, Relish Cafe made an online buzz for being one of the few restaurants opening in the South. Being a busybody, I only got the chance now to visit it thanks to ZomatoPH.

Madison Galeries is far from the busy streets of Alabang-Zapote road whereas malls like Alabang Town Center and SM Southmall are often resorted to by the netizens. This is probably one of the reasons why it can be quite difficult to access the area, considering the guards of Alabang Hills are very strict when it comes to their village rules.

Relish Cafe is located on the second floor of Madison Galeries. Finding the restaurant is not that difficult since the establishment is quite small. Moreover, there’s a floor directory on every entrance of the escalator.

When I entered Relish Cafe, the first thing that entered my mind is “Wow”. Its ambience totally floored me. The place is absolutely breathtaking. Am I invited to a wedding reception?

Relish Cafe is definitely in the following categories: #TitasOfTheSouth, #DateNight, and #FamBamGathering. Despite its posh interiors and vibes, the pricing is reasonable and affordable.

Gourmet Pesto Cheese Spread - Did not leave much of an impression for me. It’s something I prefer to see as a complimentary dish from the restaurant than ordering it from them.

Artichoke Dip - I’ve fallen for their dip. It’s very creamy and every bite feels like paradise for every cheese lover out there. Honestly, I can’t stop dunking the chips.

They have a “tea-for-two” set available from 2pm-6pm. For just P395, you’ll get a tea of your choice and a tray set of their dip sampler, chicken waldorf and tuna, and cake bites. Definitely will be getting this the next time I visit Madison Galeries. Would be terrific if they also start to sell macarons but that would be wishful thinking.

Unfortunately, I did not get to try their Relish Charcuterie Board. The management only served one board of their cold cuts and they placed it on the other end of the table. 

I don’t recommend their Sangria. First of all, let me just say that this is a very personal opinion since I’m picky when it comes to alcoholic drinks. I believe there are better Sangria drinks than this one. I, for one, like my drink a bit sweet. This Sangria did not taste fruity at all even. Try at your own risk!

Relish Roasted Chicken - Will be getting this again along with the mashed potato as the side dish. The chicken is soft and falls from the bone easily. I love how big the portions are. The mashed potato is absolutely divine! It’s very creamy and, daaaamn, the serving is plenty! I love how they have two sauces for the chicken.

Relish Special Sisig - Let me just say this: I don’t like sisig. But, oh boy, I have to tell you how delicious and mouthwatering Relish Cafe’s sisig is. It’s crunchy, tasty, and mouthwatering. Everything is just spot on. There’s no room for improvement because it IS that good. Very much recommended!

Their Baked Salmon is a disappointment for me, considering when I’m in restaurants I prefer ordering salmon. Relish Cafe’s version is not up to par since it’s bland and I feel that the spices are very much lacking. On the other hand, I am pleased with their serving. It’s quite big and you’re definitely getting the amount you’re paying for.

Chorizo with tomato cream sauce - Definitely not the best pasta around, but certainly not the worst. I can attest that this dish is pretty average. Honestly, there’s no kick to it; it’s not the typical sweet Filipino pasta and not even the sour Italian pasta we know. Is it good? Kinda. Will I get it? No. Furthermore, when the cheese is needed the most, it vanished. 

Wild Mushroom Pasta - A decent pasta dish. It’s creamy and the taste of truffles is such a delight to my tastebuds. Recommended if you want to play safe.

Molten Lava Cake - I love Mint Chocolate. I am obsessed with Mint Chocolate. I LIVE FOR MINT CHOCOLATE. There are not much restaurants that serve Mint Chocolate (because most prefer to opt for Vanilla! Ugh!), but I’m ecstatic that Relish Cafe serves this. Note: You can choose the ice cream flavor from their ice cream selections.

Sansrival Cake - Unfortunately, I also did not get to try this.

Relish Café is a must-try for people living in the south. It’s ideal for families, friends and even couples dining. There’s a good range of options for varying palates with generous serving portions that’s justifiable for the price. Ambiance is relaxing too.

Although the mall itself is a bit intimidating, since it’s located near Alabang Hills, it’s a good alternative to the usual go-to places here in the south. It’s also quiet, making it perfect if you want a little bit of privacy and serenity amidst a mall.

Relish Café is located on the second floor with a good view of a church right in front. It can cater to as much as 80 persons (90 when the seats by the balcony are included) for any type of event. There is ample space for parking through the mall and it’s quite accessible from the West service road.

Food proportion is definitely worth the price.

From all dishes served, I specifically enjoyed the artichoke dip for appetizers. The pesto cheese is also delicious. But since I love seafood, the salmon dish didn’t disappoint. It’s cooked just fine. The salad complements the fish too. Their chicken is also perfectly cooked, still juicy from the inside with herbs and spices that blend well. The pasta on the other hand is al dente with a sauce that’s not too Pinoy-like nor too Italian. The carbonara is okay. I’m not really a fan of carbonara or pasta though. The sisig, I believe so too, is indeed the prize (much like lechon is for a fiesta).

Other notable dishes are the tea for two, which is very affordable for everything that’s included; tea for two, literally with branded names like Twinings and varying bite-sized food to go with the lazy afternoon drink – bread with cheese, mini-sandwich, and cake slices. The supper platter composed of choice meat cuts with cheese is also appetizing. Wine wasn’t served along with it though. Lastly, the lava cake with mint ice cream and sans rival cake are delectable means to culminate an overall satisfying meal.

As for the service, I can agree with everyone that this should be judged another day. I will definitely love to go back for the salmon, chicken, sisig and artichoke as well as the overall vibe of the restaurant and the mall itself.

I would like to thank the wonderful owners of Relish Madison for inviting us over for lunch, not to mention the Zomato staff who has been friendly and accomodating. Luis, Monich and Chin thanks for the wonderful experience. Eboy, Pam and the others who shared the food with me, you all have been wonderful.

Relish Cafe @ Madison has a spectacular ambience; situated just across a beautiful church it offers a nice view. My first thought as I approached the area was Sunday mass would never be the same again. After going to mass, instead of battling the raging traffic of the metro why not just cross the street and have Sunday brunch with your family here. Being just outside of Alabang Hills this can be a go to place of your favorite Auntie and her friends for a spot of tea. Why not bring your mates or Uncle for a nice glass of wine and their meat platter with great cheese for a change and soak in the relaxed ambience, maybe even have a couple of cigars by their lovely porch table setting.

As you step in, you will be greeted by smiling faces… .. (Review about the service will have to wait another time, since the owners were present of course the staff as attentive as they can get. Even with that being said, there were already misses.)

Now time to talk about their food, which is delicious and as my companions have mentioned over and over again is a bang for your buck considering the ambience. But I will let you decide on that one as their menu is uploaded here anyway.

Lava Cake w/ Mint Ice Cream – literally takes the cake when it comes to deserts, it hits two birds with one stone as it cleanses the palette with the minty taste and gives you a load of creamy chocolate goodness. Can anyone say Andes?! I just wish it was a bit creamier with gooier chocolate running. Sans Rival – to perfection, unlike the common Sans Rival you get. This one reverts back to the classic sans Rival with hard crust and nuts. CRUNCHY GOODNESS!!

Chicken and Mash – Mash Potato I would say is really good, coming close second to the one I had in crimson. No question it was good, but I just feel a little something is still missing. Chicken was surprisingly good, even the meat in the middle you get that distinct flavor. Succulent and juicy, unlike to the most chicken you get which is good on the outside but bland and tasteless on the inside. Don’t forget the sauce, just perfect.

Salmon – sadly did not exist for me. I did my best to think it did not exist, as you know I love salmon, but with the recent allergy I developed I just could not risk it.

Pasta – their red pasta sauce really surprised me. Most of the time when you have red sauce here in the Philippines it is either too sweet, or too bitter, too much meat or less. But this one is just right and just the right amount of herb taste.

Meat Platter & Wine – I can definitely see myself and some pals drinking wine and eating from their meat & cheese platter, then a few cigars. Only thing I will change about it is more cheese. The nuts and fruits is perfect to balance the saltiness of the meat for some, but for me the meat is already prefect.

Cheese Dips – CHESSY GOODNESS!! LOVE IT!!

Can’t wait to bring my mom and have a good time there next time.
