My family and I really enjoy dining here. In fact, we have been here many times but it was always during lunch. Last Sunday, we decided to visit the branch for an afternoon coffee and snack.
We ordered some cafe latte, iced cappuccino, Angus Beef Sandwich, blueberry cheesecake and as always, their classic churros con chocolate. The coffee, sandwich and churros were good but the blueberry cheesecake was really delicious! It was a bit pricey though so I would only comeback for it when I'm really craving for it.
In terms of service, the staff is fast and friendly. The place is also clean but their facade really needs some refurbishing.
Affordable place to get a meal especially breakfast with their breakfast meals from php200-300 inclusive of coffee. Great spacious place for a meeting as well. Churros are more original than the popular one in the market. Place is older but clean and mantained. Service is very good.

For sweet lovers, this place is an absolute delight. It's a quaint place, aesthetically decorated with a Spanish touch to it. I loved the Spanish delicacies - tried out the dessert platter, churros and a bunch of other sweets off the menu. Their hot chocolate is to die for - one of the best I have ever had. For savory, I tried the Spanish Spicy Mushroom and it was amazing. I would recommend their cakes too for birthdays or any other occasion. Amazing bakery goods. I would surely go back to try the other items on the menu
Disclaimer: This is just for the 3 products that I patronize :)
1. The best Brazo de Mercedes I’ve ever tasted (and I’ve tasted a lot of different brazo and theirs is the BEST)
2. The shop initiated me to appreciate Churros with chocolate and I was hooked!
3. The shop sells the most addicting blood sausage ever. I didn’t know there is a blood sausage, much more sold in a shop like Dulcinea, but they do. I just discovered it while waiting for the staff to prepare my take out and I was looking over the displays they have.
Dulcinea is a classic restaurant that has been around for many years. They still have my favorite churros in the metro. The day before leaving for our trip, my husband and I had no time to cook.
We drove to the nearby Morato and we based our dinner choice on the availability of parking. Dulcinea was the winner that night. We started with their crispy calamari-- very crunchy. I had their salpicao, which was super flavorful with loads of garlic. Delish! My hubby had their cheeseburger, which was okay but a little small in size. We ended our night with their churros con chocolate-- yummy.
Their staff were efficient and knew the menu inside out. However, the place is in dire need of a renovation already. Plus, introducing a few new dishes might draw in a younger crowd.

One of the all time "Tapas" at its best...
Gambas and Garlic Champigniones are awesome.

I've never visited this resto my whole life despite it's near where I live. I just want to give comments on their cake. Their white chocolate cake was scrumptious! My family and I loved it. A cake you won't regret.
Late post.
When you dine at Dulcinea during the month of love, they serve their famous churros in heart-shaped forms. How cute is that?!
There have been several churros places popping up all over the metro, but to me, Dulcinea is still my no. 1 choice for churros.
Theirs is the perfect recipe, and their tenure (established in the 60s) in the restaurant business is a testament to that.
They've been serving churros long before it started trending in Manila's food scene!
Crispy, golden deep fried dough, paired with a rich chocolate dip, that I end up drinking if there's no churros left.
A close contender for must-have desserts at Dulcinea is their chocolate eclairs. Some would argue that their cream puffs are better, but I think it's just a matter of one's flavor profile. The dough and custard are actually the same. What sets the two apart are its shape (the eclair is oval while the cream puff is round) and its topping (chocolate for the eclair and caramel for the cream puff).
Dulcinea is a classic at this point, though it may be in danger getting a bit stale at times. Their main attractions are still good, like their salpicao and their baked spaghetti. Their churros are still good, though their chocolate is not as thick as it was before, and isn't as rich. There's just a feeling that time has passed dulcinea by. However, you can still get a good meal here, though the value for money may not be as solid anymore.
Quiet ambiance and relatively older crowd so it's most ideal for breakfast meetings. The breakfast menu offers both Spanish and Filipino fares. I tried the Spanish Sausage and Eggs breakfast tray. The portion of the sausage looks small in size. But the flavor is definitely there. Don't forget to order their popular Churros. Despite the emergence of many Churros shops in Manila lately, I still find their Churros and chocolate dip one of the best.
