Their mango yogurt cheesecake is to die for! THE BEST! One slice can change your life, it’s like the gates of heaven opening and you can hear choir of angels singing when that creamy cheesecake touches your mouth. I wish i could eat their cheesecake every day hahaha!
We decided to have dinner before watching the final run of the Huling El Bimbo musical at the newport mall in Pasay.
Strategically placed at the entrance of the shops wing is this red-carpeted cafe. Adorned with dangling lights and marble tables, it is quite exquisite to the eye.
We ordered the beef and mashed potatoes with buttered veggies, the Maxim's Burger and the Algio Olgio pasta. As expected, all dishes were really good. Beef was tender and succulent. The prawns were plump and fresh and the noodles were done perfectly. The burger was juicy amd was good for two. Service can be improved a bit but was good overall.
Service was great, we asked someone to take a picture and she was asking us to do the trendy funny poses it was so funny! Everyone was very accommodating and nice.
We ordered Churros and Bibingka since we just had lunch so it was a very heavy “dessert” for us. We were pleasantly surprised that servings were big! We weren’t able to finish them all.
Loving this place!
Cafe Maxims may seem "expensive" given the name, but the prices are the same with other restaurants found in Newport. In fact, given some discount apps, you can dine here for 30% less. We took advantage of this, and each of us just spent about P300 each for a personal dish.
Why 5 stars?
Each food is personally crafted evidenced by the visually appealing plating. Service is hands-on. Ambiance may not be very "exclusive" given its exposed location right at the ground floor of Newport Mall, but the red carpet turns that around. Overall, it was really a great experience!

Eggs Benedict (P295), Chicken Peso (P370)
Cafe maxims is located inside resortworld manila. A great place to chill with friends. We initially went here for their tea time set but apparently it was not available. So we just ordered some alacarte snacks:
Ensaymada creamy cheese - puffy but ok taste
Ensaymada dulce de leche - same as above
Chicken curry puff - spicy but not worth the price
Bibingka - very good
White macadamia cake - ok
In case you’re tired from gambling or just want to take a breather at this mall, this cafe is just around the corner. 😉. We didn’t gamble that night just to be clear. Haha. I personally wanted to take a breather because we ate at the restaurant in the casino area. Being that the area is a smoking one, I wanted some fresh air somehow. This cafe was nicely located outside one of the casino entrances. There’s no clear division with walls and everything. Kudos for some comfy seats though.
Classic hotel decoration, good food, good for sharing but selection is limited,service is so so. Please try their salad and burger. Very pricey
A cozy place inside a mall-casino place. Cafe Maxims provides classy ambience for comfort food.
Their Caffe Latte is so pretty with a heart-shaped foam on top. It has enough kick to perk you up after a night of partying. Comes with chewy dark chocolate cookie.
Affogato Baileys - presentation is just perfect. You get to pour on your own the espresso and baileys served on separate boats. Served also with 2 pieces of dark chocolate cookies.
Dark Caribou - made with dark valrhona chocolates. Too pretty to eat, actually. Has a green jelly-like white chocolate glaze and topped with half a strawberry and chocolate shard.
Mango Yogurt Cheesecake - a relly must-try. So good!!!
i will always be a fan of their desserts especially the white macadamia chocolate cake, dark chocolato cookie which is not the photo and the dark chocolate gelato. most of their desserts were all good but one thing i don't like in their menu is the selection of breakfast meal, not so worth it. it's a coffee & dessert place for me....
Their ice creams are delectable, creamy and flavorful. Tried saled caramel and mexican choco flavor 🌶🌶🌶 and my throat was burning 🤘🏼Salted caramel was pure bliss! Will come back for more client meetings here tho
