We had our food delivered by lola cafe. And we really enjoyed it. The lengua is very soft. The kare kare tastes so good. And the truffle pasta (although a little bit small in serving size) is just perfect. Customer service is an A+ as well because their staff is accomodating and very responsive. Thank you! Will surely order again and try your other dishes. 🙂
Bicol express pork belly was superb.
Lola Cafe accommodated my phone call for pickup for my family's Sunday lunch today. Andre was very helpful. Bicol express did not disappoint and so did the laing. Food was warm and we finished to our heart's content.
Must-try is the kesong puti cheesecake, I am glad I ordered 2. Perfect to cap the sumptuous lunch. Thank you, Lola Cafe. Next Sunday again :)
We went there on a Saturday dinner time, place is almost packed, glad we had a reservation. Menu is easy to understand. Appetizer and main course took around 40minutes before it was served. Loved the salpicao and kimchi kaldereta. The banofee pie for dessert was great, while for the smores, the marshmallows weren't melted/hot enough. Chicken inasal sisig was out of stock so we went with bangus instead.
Servers are attentive. Utensils clean. Parking with security guard available but limited slots
Pros: excellent food. Well prepared and thought of. A tad on the over-tasty side but nothing overboard. Well presented. Service staff was well versed.
Cons: preparation time was a bit slow (must be because of the inasal grill time). But definitely worth the wait.
Ordered a lot of dishes and every one of them was delectable. Three most interesting and delicious: Tinapa pasta, Truffle Lengua, Coconut chopsuey. When the coconut chopsuey first arrived it looked like regular chopsuey and I was almost disappointed...but after I realised there were coconut meat chunks and actually tasted jt I fell in love. It just absolutely made sense and now I want all my chopsuey to have coconut!
Very interesting menu and well executed. Service is great but they were just very busy on valentine’s night. Would come again for sure!

Dined here on Valentines day for lunch. I didn't took photos of our food bec. hubby requested not to. No cellphones allowed daw muna. Lol. We arrived around 12nn and the place is already packed.
Ordered Beef Salpicao, Mushroom Chicharon and Ceasar Salad for appetizers. All of it was good though the beef salpicao is a bit salty. It's better to eat it along with the roasted garlic to balance the flavor.
For our mains, Truffle lengua and Bistek tagalog. Their bistek tagalog is on the sweet side not the usual salty-sour flavor. Meat was good it's tender. The truffle lengua is good too though I didn't taste the truffle in it. Too bad, I was expecting it to have strong truffle flavor in it.
For our dessert, Kesong Puti Cheesecake and Banoffee Pie. Both were good too though I liked the cheesecake more than the banoffee. 😊
Really impressed with the food! Had the Tuscan Baked Salmon & Potato Stew which exceeded my expectations and will definitely be back for more - hopefully for the brunch and desserts soon. Service was pretty efficient despite the small space, and I can definitely see why it's so popular. Will recommend making a reservation in advance before heading down if you do not want to wait for too long!

Recommended: Go
Price: PHP 250 per person (PHP 480+ total bill for 2 dishes and rice, we used Zomato Gold to get 1 dish free)
Parking: Available but gets filled up VERY quickly. There's pay parking further down the street in front of Vitto's
What I'd recommend:
❤️ Roasted belly tocino: 5 pieces in total (which was soooo bitin), it's sweet with an appropriate balance between the fat and the fat
Meh, pass:
🙅♀️ Truffle lengua: I really liked the mushroom chicharon on top, but the lengua itself wasn't as tender as I would've wanted it to be

Nobody told me there's heaven somewhere in QC. My Golly wow! The pasta negra is just sooo appealing to my taste buds! The Salpicao hit the right spot. And oh, boy! The prawns in aligue is really heavenly ❤️❤️❤️ Staff are very prompt - kudos to you, guys! The ambience is relaxing.
