My parents got me a whole Chocolate Almond Sans Rival for my birthday from this shop. In comparison to all the other Conti's pastries I've tried, this faired average compared to some stellar ones like their Turtle Pie perhaps? Or just their plain Sans Rival.
What we had:
Mango Royale Salad
Maple Glazed Baby Back Ribs
Chicken Ballotine
Mango Bravo Slice
Melon Shake
What I liked:
Not many restaurants at The 30th are open at 9pm especially on a weekday but Conti’s is still full. I’m not new to this place as i’ve frequently visited their branch in Greenbelt. But I decided to try more of their menu instead of my favorites. The chicken ballotine was actually good. The baby back ribs is as well. The meat was tender, but I figure the serving is too little for the price. I had hoped their melon shake is also a bit sweeter. Props, however, to our server Erwin who was very busy and yet very kind and attentive.
If I am feeling under the weather and I want some comfort food to make me feel better, I go to Conti's. This restaurant offers a wide variety of comfort food from Appetizer to dessert.
Personal picks:
Appetizer - I really love their Crab Salad and their soup of the day
Entrees -
1. Their baked salmon with cheese on top is the bomb. This dish comes with the rice of your choice so double thumbs up.
2. Chicken Barbeque - this boneless dish is Super yummy if beef is too heavy for you
3. Roast beef in Mushroom sauce - The name says it all
4. USDA beef Salpicao - What's not to love with Salpicao?
And of course, try their cakes. Your welcome. ;)

Definitely 5 stars for Conti's mango bravo! A cake worth it at its price. This cake used to be an office favorite cake, the one we always crave for a birthday celebration. I bought my mom a smaller version of the cake and she really enjoyed it. Still a challenge to slice it, we had to use a larger knife. Enjoyed the cake, nonetheless. I also tried their baked prawn dish and was quite surprised how flavorful the dish was! The amount of cheese and garlic was just right, and the japanese fried rice is a perfect match for the prawns.
Turtle Pie is so good. Although, that's not my first choice but given that we dined almost in a late afternoon we did understand that supplies are limited. And for the price...worth the bucks. They gave justice to their slice of cake that I was not able to finish mine.

Although we've been to Conti's in Katipunan Ave., this was the first time we tried the one at the Ayala 30th Mall. Being a creature of habit, I ordered my favorite which is the Chicken Ballotine. My wife, on the other hand, was more adventurous and ordered the Paella Madrilena. After a few minutes, the server informed me that my order will not be served since they had a complaint from a customer the day before saying the Chicken Ballotine tasted sour. So I ordered the Beef with Mushroom Sauce with Garlic Rice instead.
It didn't take long and our meals were served. My wife just couldn't get enough of her paella and finished the whole serving just by herself (and it was quite generous helping). My beef was so tender that I didn't have to use a knife to slice it. The mushroom sauce was just perfect!
For dessert we tried their buko pandan and it was so delicious!
The honesty of the staff regarding one their dishes to me was a big plus. Both service and the food were excellent!
The rating is just for Conti's famous 🌟🌟🌟 Mango Bravo! 🌟🌟🌟
Or we may call it the infamous Mango Bravo rather, because it's always so impossibly hard to slice it without breaking its entirety. 😂
But oh well, it's just a superb cake. The best cake ever, so far. I could eat a whole of it in one sitting, seriously. 😁 It's been a long time since I last had this.
For dessert, have decided to takeaway a box of lemon squares from conti's. By far, it's the best lemon squared I have had! I can completely taste the zesty taste of lemon and at the same time tje right balance of sweetness plus the texture of the pastry blended perfectly well. I love it! 😍

I like the food and cakes of Conti’s Bakeshop and Restaurant especially their very famous Mango Bravo Cake and Black Velvet Cake. Their food tastes very homey like their spaghetti and homemade beef tapa. :)
Choco Walnut Torte. It's ayt. I like their other cakes more.
I hope they can add more ice cream 😋😋 I will come back in a month to review them again.
I ordered their mango bravo (1,310). It has wafers, chocolate mousse, cashew nuts, mango squares on top and whipped cream all around the cake. It's expensive but it's big and it's delicious. Eat this while it's served cold straight out the fridge.
First time to try conti's and this definitely deserve to be on top of my list of restaurants to go to. A new favorite place. Aside from mango bravo their salted caramel cake is delicious and not that sweet or salty. Love it here!
[UPDATE 2019] Their USDA Beef Salpicao tastes great! Maybe it was a bit salty but I love it anyways. Beware when they offer soup, the waitress made it seem like it was on the house but there was an extra fee. Besides that, the staff is very attentive especially during New Year's eve. Well done!
For me, Conti's will always be the dessert place and not for the main course. Mango bravo is always great. Plus the other cakes are good too. I love the Mango torte and Oreo cheesecake. But the main course is just so-so. Somehow lacking in flavor. The baked prawns and the chicken ala kiev needs something to wow us. Not really sure what though.
After our dining boo-boo at Basil. KP and I ended up here at Conti's.
The servers was super friendly and nice.
I ordered Baked Salmon which is number 3 on my favorites here at Conti's. (1. Mango Bravo 2. Lengua 3. Baked Salmon) and KP had the Barbequed Spare Ribs with Java Rice and Atchara.
Of course the baked salmon was good. I really liked the garlic flavor that the baked salmon has. and thebbq spare ribs was also okay.

FAB rating = 3.5
(F)ood = we only went here for the desserts. Mango Bravo is a sure winner but the choco sansrival is not what I expected.
(A)mbience = definitely have that homey inviting vibe which makes you want to stay longer.
(B)utler Service = service was as expected.
A "go to place" for that home-cooked comfort dishes. Beef Salpicao is an all-time favorite. I love their juicy, beef tenderloin with its savoury taste. The beef is really tender that it melts in your mouth. A real value for money unlike other beef salpicao I had from other resto where it is a hit and miss
You can never go wrong with Conti's I guess my mom loved it. She didn't expect her salmon to be cooked perfectly and my #pesto with seafood tasted great. They're well loved because of the all-time favorite #mangobravo that's why we ordered one as well.
This branch at the 30th had really attentive staff and the food items were served on time so kudos for that.
Tried out Conti's with my officemates and I'm very much delighted with how warm they are with their customers. They always check on you if you need anything. The place is okay, albeit we got distracted by a small number of flies that went buzzing around before eventually disappearing. As for the food, the taste is great with the gambas though I was looking for a more spicy kick. The cheesy macaroni was on the salty side -- I can't actually taste the cheesiness. Pricing is okay. Overall, my experience with Conti's is great.
I dated my mom here last sunday and had our brunch. We took the breakfast Combo B. The combo has a delicious tinapa, beef tapa, tomato and onion salad, and a regular tasting adobo. My mom is really a fan and even bought their delicious lemon square cake and yummy polvoron. We love to eat in conti's and we are happy that there is a branch near our place. The downside is their combo meal that they claim good for 3 is just really enough for 2. That is how good their food is. Nakakabitin

Got curios with newest mall in my neighborhood, 30th mall and have been visiting it everyday since it opened. They got everything you need and this includes a number of food establishments. Conti's is one of the many restaurants in the ground level.
The place was packed and a receptionist slash guard gives you a number tag. We found a spot outside that no one wanted to take, ordered cakes and sat. I had their best selling and personal favorite Mango Bravo, a delicious piece of dessert consisting of sweet mangoes, soft with crunch meringue, chocolate mousse, nuts and cream.
Mocha Tiramisu however wasn't a hit. The coffee touch was not bold enough and I found the cake too wet. Less than a third of it was touched. Still a bargain though for Php 110. Also got their reliable Chicken Pie for breakfast. It's only Php 29.
