We celebrated a milestone birthday for Mercy on Jan 13.2018. We booked dining for 30 to 40 people. We had the upstairs area beside the patio/terrace and ended up having the whole upstairs to ourselves. Venue was perfect. Mr Thom and Mr Bong recommended to order a-la-carte for the number of guests. They provided menu ahead of time so that we could preorder from soup, appetizers to main. Finalized the food to order with the chef the day before the function which is advisable. All food choices ordered was all delicious and tasteful. Not too salty, not too spicy but just right. Kudos to the chef! All guests were pleased and satisfied. Air condition place was clean. Table set up was fast. Dj and mic were provided. There was no karaoke machine but they accomodated hook up though smart phones and it worked out just fine. Staff servers, Rommar and Harold, was very courteous and provided excellent service. Menu and drink prices were decent. Additional charge for wine/liquour corkage and serving of our lechon was fair. We were to close at 11 pm but was there past 12am. Because of all the above the party was very well enjoyed by all of the attendees. The celebrant was very happy. Overall rating is definately highly recommended.
great food. good place... at napa kaganda ng event place sa 2nd floor! sa lahat ng staff good job!
Great Asian Fusion with variety of food choices. A must visit place once you're in quezon city area. Excellent interior and ambiance as well���

Everything was perfect - the food, the service and the staff ! I highly recommend this place!
Booked for my best friend's surprise birthday party last Saturday. I never had the chance to check the place, so I did the reservation and pre-ordering of meals thru messenger. All we had to do was show up on the day of our reservation. Haha Food and service were �. Thanks Tomm and to the whole team!
My daughter celebrated her 18th birthday here last April 8, 2018 and it was a blast � Everyone enjoyed the beautiful place, super delicious food, great music and very good service. The whole team of Lazat were very accommodating to all our needs and requests. It was a hassle free event and i'm very thankful to Sir Armand, Chef A1, Bong, Tom and all the staff for helping us in making this event special �

One of our favorite in T. Morato :) Spicy Squid head is a must try, and the Kare-Kare too. Thanks to Tom for accomodating us (always!) 🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒
I've been celebrating my birthday party in this restaurant ever since they opened. The interior decor is nice & the food served es muy delicioso .
Good food,friendly staff, and nice ambiance. we've been here for the nth time and will be back for more.

Very accomodating and super sarap ng food.Thank you!�
Best Salted Egg wings & fries....ever! Definitely a must try! �
Polite and efficient servers. We ordered the 'bulalo ramen' and it tasted nothing like bulalo. It tasted like your usual miso ramen but with the beef marrows. It's good but don't expect it to taste like bulalo.
Platter B was great. Boodle in an enormous round tray, wt inihaw na luempo. Fried hito strips, salted chicken, beef ribs, eggplant wr yummy bagoong; prawns. Then we added their phad Tai noodles. Ofcourse had my Mojito.
Lazat claims to offer Thai-Asian cuisine. I love Thai food so my expectations were quite high. I've tasted better but the classy interiors was okay if you just intend to hang out with family and friends in a cozy place conveniently located in the middle of the city.
Superb! We had the whole place reserved last April 21, 2019 (Easter Sunday) for a special occasion. It was served through buffet style during lunch time. The place was spacious enough for the whole family and the foods were very delicious. It was served on time and the staff were courteous enough to meet our needs. Worth the money!

As I’ve said, time and again, taking a lunch break is crucial for my continued sanity. 🙂. Every once in a while, when our schedules permit it, my coworkers and I come together on culinary adventure to explore the gastronomic possibilities offered by the foodie-friendly Tomas Morato area.
The place is nice, good service. They have big serving size “sobrang sulit ang money”, and importante masarap. I really recommend this place.

Lazat happened to be a short walk from our hotel so we decided to go there for dinner despite the mixed reviews. I'm glad we did. The place is tastefully decorated - I love how the greens popped out of the mostly white place. The place is well-lit and their lighting makes camera filter unnecessary.
We enjoyed the food. I must have gotten lucky ordering because I liked everything we ordered - the Oven-Baked Crispy Pata, Crispy Hito, Grilled Tuna Belly and Sinigang na Tadyang sa Bayabas. I was also surprised how quickly the food was served. Granted that the place wasn't too busy yet - we went at 6:30 on a Saturday night, our food arrived more quickly than I expected even for off-peak standards. Oh, and they make great sauces that complement their food well.
The place was very clean and the staff was accommodating. I couldn't fault them for anything. I even loved their paper place mats! I'll be back.
Good ambiance and delicious food! The Matcha skillet with ice cream is my favorite! Worth the price. Will definitely go back with my family!

THE PLACE
The place is spacious and clean, but has a weird layout. I think there was some event happening at the upper floor so it was a bit loud at the time we were there. The ambiance was nice though, and it was cold. 👍🏻
THE STAFF AND SERVICE
We were greeted upon entering and was attended to immediately. There were about 2-3 big groups when we came in. The food were served pretty fast, within 7-10 minutes, we had our appretizers. They were very nice and accommodating.
THE FOOD
They have a wide variety of Asian dishes. I was a bit overwhelmed.
Thai Spring Rolls - I feel the garnish overshadowed the actual food. 😀 But the serving size is bigger than what I’m used to. Plus, it’s tasty!
Pomelo and Shrimp Salad - Funny that there’s 3 pieces of shrimp coz there’s 3 of us eating! I liked that it has some greens and mangoes, too! Not a big fan of the dressing though. Tasted like barbeque sauce. Or maybe it’s just me.
Lechon Macau - My brother wanted this, so we had no choice. But it was actually good. I like how the serving portions were not too fatty unlike other restaurants. There’s a good balance of meat and fat, like you didn’t waste money to just be served pork fat! The sauces compliment the dish well.
Peri Peri Chicken with Rice Pilaf - we requested the rice pilaf to be separated so that’s not pictured. The chicken was really good, was relieved that it wasn’t salty. There was more than enough for the 3 of us. The rice pilaf surprised me. I was expecting a “normal” pilaf, but this one was seasoned with cumin... a little too much for my preference.
Overall, we had a good time. I would definitely go back and try out other dishes. 😀
Ordered Crispy Pata, Laing, sizzling Bulalo, and Sisig. Their ration is good for 3 - 4 pax except for Bulalo which is 2-3 pax. As for taste, everything is good except Bulalo is a bit salty for my taste. Staffs are friendly. Place is cozy. Recommended.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Served with three sauces, the Oven Baked Crispy Pata (PhP 710) produced tender meat and intensely crispy skin pata with smoked flavor. It’s exactly what you should order when you’re craving for really delicious pork on your plate. And by the way, all three sauces complemented well.
Their Sizzling Pork Sisig (PhP 310) is a delectable marriage of chopped lechon kawali cooked sisig with fried egg. It had absolutely bold flavors and was almost creamy to the bite. Notably, the savoriness and porkiness were extreme, so pairing it with rice is top-notch.
Last up, we had Spicy Kangkong (PhP 185), which was basically kangkong stir-fried in garlic and chilis. I loved how it gave a wonderfully sharp, growing heat that made for a pleasant surprise. The pronounced flavor of garlic was great, enhancing the overall fragrance and taste of the dish.
Among the many food establishments in Scout Limbaga area, this welcoming family-friendly restaurant is probably one of the best known. People came to dine in here after the other group, and the streams seemed endless. Other food on Lazat’s menu looked really interesting as well and worth a try. Prices are fair given the quality of super-flavorful food and portion of serving. It’s best to snag a table earlier than peak meal hours since it’s always a packed spot. Check it out!

Went to have lunch here with our supplier from London. We ordered Pumpkin soup, Pad Thai, Bagoong rice, crispy tilapia and cucumber lemon juice for drinks. The foods are good, however they served the Pad Thai more than 45 mins. We are almost done eating, same with the cucumber juice.. Their reason for the Pad Thai is that they have to get the fresh tamarind from its shell. We don't know why its that long. For the cucumber juice, their lemon concentrate runs out, so they have to buy from the supermarket. But the foods were good. So I give them 4 stars.
The food was just spectacular. This is the one restaurant that offers food that I truly miss. Unfortunately, our group was too hungry that we weren't able to take pictures.
The place is great for family lunches/dinners or for reunion with friends.
I'll update this review once I eat there again... and hopefully soon!
By far, the best kare-kare for me! Crispy pata, sisig, baby squid, everthing was superb. From food to ambience, perfect score for Lazat. Definitely, we will be back soon ❤
A very good place for lunch with family and friends! We ordered:
- Crispy pata
- Grilled bangus
- Laing
All of them had really big servings, and they all tasted good. They also have a good selection of desserts and coffee.
I also liked the ambience of the place; it's well lit and had big windows, but it doesn't get too hot in the afternoon. The seats had some food scraps but overall, it was a very good experience 👍🏼
Went here two weeks ago and booked via Booky. I love its interiors, which felt homey and clean. It's well lit and has enough space to hold events like birthday and graduation parties.
We had Singaporean Crispy Squid for appetizer, which was really good but a bit too sweet for my taste. We had Spicy Kangkong and Salted Egg Fried Chicken and I like the latter. It was crispy and you can really taste the salted egg. My favorite among my orders would have to be the Cucumber Juice! Twas refreshing!
Staff were also accomodating and helpful. It was an overall good dining experience. 👌

This restaurant was formerly called CERCHIO. It has changed its name but the management and the general menu remain the same. This is good news for me because this was one of my favorite Fil-Asian restaurants in Timog-Morato. We went here before for birthday and graduation celebrations. Why do we keep coming back? It's because of their delicious food, amazing service and beautiful IG-worthy ambiance! ❤️
What we recently ordered:
Grilled Gindara Steak - although my sister and I had a history of allergic reaction to Gindara steak, we still ordered this one. It has the right amount of juiciness, although honestly, I have tasted better. Good thing is, we didn't develop allergies!
Grilled Oriental Chicken Salad - this was unique and delicious! Unique because it has peanut butter dressing mixed with the greens and surprisingly, it tastes good!
Grilled Squid with squid ink rice - grilled squids are not my favorite food because it's usually hard and 'rubbery' but with this, I liked it. The squid is soft and the squid ink rice is also good.
Beef Rendang - this was my least favorite, maybe just because it doesn't taste like the usual Rendang. They probably put a different twist to the recipe.
Salted Egg Shrimp - this was delicious for me! At first, it could be very salty, but then after a few bites and you've tasted the chicken meat, it becomes appealing to the taste.
Singaporean Crispy Squid - We haven't ordered it the last time but this needs special mention because this is one of my favorites in this restaurant! ❤️
For desserts, the cakes were not in the menu but it was displayed in their cake stand which you can see right away when you enter Lazat. I forgot their exact names though. But the mango cake was just so-so. It was compensated by their flavorful chocolate dome cake. 😋 🍫 Overall, I'm always satisified after eating here at Cerchio/Lazat.
Before anything else, I also want to talk about their courteous and friendly staff and manager. Kudos!

I enjoyed their food especially the grilled shrimp with pomelo salad, crispy tilapia and sisig. Their kare-kare, crispy pata and calamares were also outstanding. For dessert, we ordered their smores and we also loved it. The serving was fast and we were accommodated easily. I will recommend this to my family and friends.
We tried their Singaporean crispy squid, spring rolls, sizzling sinigang na bulalo, crispy pata, and crispy tilapia. The crispy squid was really good, it's almost like dilis in that it's so crispy and it's a little sweet. The spring rolls were so so, not really anything notable. The food in general is okay, it's about what you expect from a regular filipino restaurant, so it's fine.
It's not a particularly compelling restaurant, but it's solid.
Good food. Singaporean spicy baby squid. Oven baked crispy Pata. Salted egg shrimp. Good service. Hospitable manager. Clean place. Clean toilet. Will go back again.
Love their Sizzling Sinigang na Bulalo Steak! One of the best! Sisig is average. Place is cozy. Servers are attentive. Overall experience four out of five.
I like the variety Lazat offers. Best try outs are Char Kweoy Teow, Bagoong Rice, Salted EggChicken and their Cool As Cucumber Drink.
Price is okay.
Beautiful function room and overall ambiance! Affordable and can accomodate 20 people! The food is great! Their sisig is a must try! The staff are courteous and well-manered. Definitely a must try!
This used to be called Cerchio. The name has changed to Lazat but the general menu remains the same. And that's good because the food here tastes great. The only thing that cautions me from going to this place is that I know I'll eat a lot. Price is not cheap but I think it's commensurate to quality and taste. Sisig is presented differently from the usual and is one of the most recommended order. Desserts are in big portions.
The place is also big, with a second floor that can turn into a function area. It's a place for lunch, dinner and cocktails. Good place for families and friends.
Smoking area: yes, second floor
Wifi: forgot to ask
After the first time we tried it when it was still named "Cerchio," this has become one of our favorite Filipino restaurants but it is actually Fil-Asian.
We super loved their sisig, fried squid, kare-kare, and crispy pata. Most food servings are good for sharing and are affordable for groups.
We can't wait to try more from this restaurant.
Read our full review on this on our blog soon.

A nice place for friends and loved one's to enjoy quality time and dine. The taste of the food is not that bad although a bit pricey. They also have a small area for drinking and smoking. But, what makes me recommend this place the most is their customer friendly crews and fast service.

Incredibly good food in an affordable price. Nice interiors. Amazing staff. Definitely would come back and recommend to my friends and family.
Me and my family had our dinner here last last Sunday and it was our first time to dine here.
What we had:
Fried hito - it was not your usual fried hito because they served it in bite size. It was good and their dipping (buro) was also good.
Pork sisig - the sisig was crispy and were served with 3 fried eggs.
Kare kare - it was good but nothing special
Adobong pusit - also good
Laing - was good
Crispy pata - it was good, crispy and juicy
Inihaw na liempo - nothing special but good

Good place and good food !!! We are checking eating places for lunch and this place is so far one of the best places we had lunch.
We ordered crispy pata, sisig and Laing. Coffee was good too.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
So i went here with my mom and dad (He's in a wheelchair) and the staff was very helpful assisting us in our table so that's a plus!:)
Almost all of the food that ive ordered was DELICIOUS. shout out to the "GRILLED TUNA". OMG the Grilled Tuna was the Highlight of night! haha It was so delicious that i had to ask the staff if the tuna was fresh, and they told me their tuna is always delivered every morning in their restaurant so thats another plus.
Spaghetti Pomodoro- Another fave! you can taste the freshness of the tomatoes on the sauce, it has the right sweetness and sourness!
The Pork Sisig- Not really feeling it. maybe because it wasnt really hot when we ate it. i love sisigs that are served in a sizzling plate
Vietnamese Spring Rolls- I didnt know their spring rolls are fried!! Ughhh! i thought ill hate it but boy, it was also delicious especially the vinegar in it. lasang atsara na maasim hahaha.
My parents loved the Pumpkin Soup and the Shrimp pomelo salad.
Overall my family really had a pleasant dinner 👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️
I would recommend going here with your family and friends:) and we'll definitely return.

Food was good!!! Especially the squid heads. Automatically my favorite dish there. Also, the sisig is a must-try. Price is just right and the serving size is relatively big. The service was satisfying.
I was so satisfied with our dinner last night as we (Allana Jelika Ong , Krizia Sy , and I) celebrated Heidi Beatriz Cheung 's birthday :)
we ordered the ff:
* Oven Baked Crispy Pata
* Crispy Tilapia
* Cerchio's Pork Sisig
* Singaporean Crispy Squid Heads Pusit
* Rice
* Cool as Cucumber
My favorite was the crispy pasta as the meat was tender and tasty plus the skin stayed crispy. Also the cucumber drink was so refreshing and a good complement to the powerful taste of each dish. Will definitely come back next time!
I don`t frequent the Tomas Morato area often and when I do I stumble upon great dining places. I was there for an event, but surprisingly the food became one of the highlights of the time there. Cerchio Grille and Lounge is located at Scout Lumbago, it has great ambiance and serves Asian and Filipino Food. Pronounced as ‘Tzerhr.kyoh’ which means Circle in Italian. This is the inspiration behind the interiors of the entire place, designed by Ivy Almario. The creators of Romulo Cafe have transformed some dilapidated adjacent apartments into a classy, dinning place that serves Asian Filipino cuisine.

My son Jarod has been very interested in taking photos, tasting and dining on Food. He has even started watching videos on buzzed about preparing food. So whenever a find a nice place I make to return with him and Raffy of course.
So will I return to Cerchio with Jarod in tow? Find out after the break.
I ordered the green mango shake just coz I rarely see it in a menu, and when I do it is usually Not available. I expected it to be very sour, it was`t the taste was just right.
Crispy crunchy squid heads with Chili Honey Garlic Glaze. Looking at this dish you won`t really say they are squid heads, but they are actually are. Crispy crunchy and very addicting, I could probably finish an entire plate without even noticing.
Crispy squid heads are very nice. The cerchio bbq chicken and fried tilapia so-so. Binagoongan baka is nice. We also ordered the grilled squid with squid ink rice and grilled.prawns with pasta. Now if only i could order grilled prawns with the squid ink rice, this would be perfect.
Our new favorite resto! Everything we ordered is nothing but GREAT, we had grilled kare kare, crispy tilapia & grilled liempo (liempo's serving is quite small for its price though) but Im glad i discovered this place & didnt get disappointed.
Place is really cozy w/ its modern interior & lighting. Perfect for family eat out. What made me like them more is the way they handle customers, they greet u w/ smiling faces & in a lively manner. All staffs are neat & pleasant. They were courteous all through out. The moment we entered, i told the staff that i reserved a table w/ booky prime, when were seated, the staff verified 'you are Ms Hernandez?' Service is personalized & they are aware of ongoing deals, i dont even have to remind them how much discount has to be applied on my bill.
Definitely will go back! Want to try their crispy pata & some other dishes soon ❤️
Cerchio has one of the best tasting panna cotta I have ever tried. Their baileys panna cotta is the perfect ending for a typical cerchio dinner.
Frequent orders include sisig, crispy tilapia, crispy pata, bbq chicken and of course, baileys panna cotta.
It was a successful first annivesary date at Cerchio, the place was great, ambiance is nice, the interiors are very eye catchy and the food was superb! Especially their pork sisig..it was heaven..
Staffs were nice and very accomodating, they even granted my request.. 😊
I will definitely go back here.
Looove their Singaporean Crispy squid heads and their pork sisig. Interior is nice - well-lit yet cozy. It's a good place to dine with friends or casual dates.
We went here last Mother's day with my boyfriend's family. Food was quite good but the servings were on the smaller side. Their sisig presentation was quite impressive but there was nothing too exceptional about it. Their crispy pata was okay. We loved the crispy squid heads!

The place was perfect for couples,unfortunately I'm not yet into relationship as I entered Cerchio. It was place ideal for dates, a classy minimalist but not so pricey place. Prices here are reasonable. My friend and I ordered Pumpkin Malunggay Soup, Singaporean Crispy Squid Heads, Crispy Tilapia and Hoisin Pork Belly. We are only two, but our food can cater a group of 5 haha, Don't Judge!
Pumpkin and Malunggay in a Soup? It was a good one, it creates a good flavor.
Singaporean Crispy Squid Heads, proved why it is one of their best seller, it is not your typical Pinoy version crispy squid heads (Calamares), you can eat it without vinegar as your dipping, it very flavorful and a bit spicy, but some squid heads are hard to chew. Other than that, I highly recommend you to add this dish on your order list.
Crispy Tilapia, enticingly looks good not just in terms of plating but also in tasting. It comes along with three different dippings and a mango salsa. As to its taste, I think it was a typical fried tilapia that your mom cooks at home, but serve with extra love, haha. Why? Because you don't have to exert extra effort to debone the fish.
Hoisin Pork Belly comes with either rice or vegetables. And since we are hungry, we chose rice HAHA. Pork belly was crunchy enough that made me eat more and its barbecue sauce was a bomb to my taste buds that I had to ask for another cup of rice.
This night was filled with stories and food to share. I looked back four months ago, where everything started from. It was the day when I got the chance to tell my friend that I felt something for her. And to end this night, I asked my companion if she as my friend can turn to be my girlfriend... And luckily, she said 'Yes'. 04-18-16

The night we dined here was one of the most important dates of my life. Let's just say that we could not have found a more perfect place for that particular event even if we had tried.
First of all, the place looked amazing! Both the interiors and exteriors were of a minimalistic design which made for an elegant and relaxing dinner. And thankfully, as was the same scenario every time I eat at Tomas, the place was not packed. For our meal, we ordered their Singaporean Crispy Squid Heads, Pumpkin Malunggay Soup, Hoisin Pork Belly, and Crispy Tilapia.
•Singaporean Crispy Squid Heads
-I loved it so much! I had expected it to taste like a spicy version of our local calamares, but there was definitely something that sets it apart from the one I was used to. I would really suggest to try it! (Good for sharing).
•Pumpkin Malunggay Soup
-Pumpkin and Malunggay are some of the only vegetables that I'm willing to eat and this soup only proved why they are amongst the chosen ones. I liked that they tasted authentic and I could say that there was very minimal use of food additives and artificial flavors in it. (Good for one, but if you're really just out to taste it, it could be shared by two.)
•Hoisin Pork Belly
-Really tender and flavorful pork. It also only had little fat in it, which I really appreciated since I don't like eating such. (Good for sharing).
•Crispy Tilapia
-My favorite among the dishes we ordered! The fish was fried to a perfect golden brown and they were careful enough not to use too much breading. The three inclusive dips also gave the fish variations in flavor. Plus, the presentation was really, really appetizing. (Really good for sharing).
After we finished our dishes, we decided to order dessert to complete the meal. We ordered their Mango Float, which was good for sharing. It tasted a lot like Graham Cake. I liked that it was not too sweet and not too heavy since, at that point, we were really stuffed already.
As for the service, the staff were very accommodating. They were all smiles whenever we ask questions or request for something. Overall, it was a really great and memorable dining experience.
It's good! Cerchio reminds me of Romulo (another restaurant near Tomas Morato). They almost have the same interior design but I like Cerchio's ambiance more. It's more classy and the place ain't noisy and crowded. I love the design of their smoking area.
The food is great!
The Pesto with Shrimp is good. I have an issue with the bread tho. It's too crusty and hard to bite. 4/5
Sinigang Na Tadyang Sa Bayabas. Meh. It's okay. 2.5/5
The Grilled Gindara Steak is good! It's pretty cheap if you compare it to other food places. The taste is perfect for me. Plus it comes with an eggplant salad. The sauce is also amazing. Babalik ako dito para sa isda na 'to. 4/5
Nice presentation of foods. Taste good too!

5 stars go to the crispy squid heads alone. It's that good. There are many other delicious food items on the menu but that's top of mind when anyone mentions Cerchio to me. Order the "Cool as Cucumber" drink (soda water, cucumber, mint, and lime drink) to go with your food. Summery drinks/shakes are often described as "refreshing" and this one truly is refreshing. Service is fast. Waiters are knowledgeable about the items they're selling/serving. I'm a happy returning customer.

Cerchio earned 4th place on Spot.ph's list of Top 10 best crispy pata in Metro Manila. This is what brought us here, a food block somewhere along Limbaga St. in Quezon City near the corner of Tomas Morato.
Our early Monday evening dinner consisted of its oven baked crispy pata, pako salad, pumpkin malunggay soup, and Filipino onion soup.
My meal kicked off with a localized version of French onion soup. At first glance, it looked a little greasy but I loved it after my second spoonful.
My friend had the pumpkin malunggay soup, and I had a few spoonfuls of it. It lacked salt, and needed to be strained more before serving as we had more than a few stalks of malunggay (or herbs, we weren't 100% sure) stuck in our teeth. A bit annoying.
The crispy pata was quite good. Thin crispy skin (not a lot of fat), tender meat, served with three sauces (oddly, I liked the honey coriander dip the best).
My foodie friends have highly recommended the kare-kare and sisig, so I am looking forward to coming back to try the other items on the menu.

Nice place, nice decoration, good filipino food, performance class servings but a little bit pricey. Still worth it though. My suggestion is you should try all their cakes.
Absolutely in like with this place! Back here time and again for their food! 😄
One of our favorite date places in the Morato area!
Our favorites include the sisig, kare-kare, blue cheese pasta and of course, the Sinagapore spicy squid!!! Winner! Their cucumber drink is very refreshing! This time around, we tried the peri-peri chicken, which we were told, was one of their best sellers... Ummmmmm, both of us did not like it... I couldn't wrap my head around the taste... But do try the Singapore spicy squid! Really delicious!👍
Foods were really newly cooked and hot when served. Presentation was nice. Place is ok. As in any other restaurants there were waiters around when you don"t need them but when u need them they are nowhere. Prices are reasonable. I will be back.
Cerchio
- crispy pata is love ( I recommend this one, but if you like a best crispy pata in town you can look on my profile and search for livestock )
- Kare kare is flavorful especially the bagoong!!!
- Pork Sinigang is good.
- Good Service.
- They are open till 11pm.
Interiors is forgettable. Staff aren't attentive. The chicken in their tinola wasn't good since it was grilled- added to its bitter taste. The fish wasn't crispy. The kare-kare was okay, no difference from other's.
I actually liked the food. they had interesting recipes and a variety of choices. we ate here to commemorate my grandfather's death anniversary and although most of us were satisfied with the dining experience, our criticism of the seafood was correct. When ordering here it's best you order pork and other non-seafood dishes. the seafood dishes were just not good enough.
Good food, good ambiance, good service. I just find it off that they have a show band at night. It doesn't fit with the ambiance.
I liked their kilawin and kare-kare. Another hit was the crispy squid appetizer that my officemates loved. I like it here but it's not wow!
Oh! Their cocktails are bad!
A very nice and elegant restaurant for people craving for Filipino grilled dishes. Their mixed grilled pork, chicken, fish, shrimp and squid is great. Pinakbet, dinakdakan, and kare-kare is likewise good! The second level is great for small group meetings and events. Thumbs up for Cerchio!

This restaurant is very special to us. It was were we had our first ever date. We went back a couple of days ago to celebrate our 3rd anniversary, and lo and behold, M had other plans. He proposed. 😄 So now, we're engaged! 😄
The manager of Cerchio was very accommodating, who was also informed about the plan. He offered to take our photos and suggested to have the photo op at the 2nd floor which was a closed area during that time. The second floor has function rooms great for small gatherings or meetings. They use it also, of course, when the first floor is full already.
The food, as expected, didn't disappoint. We ordered the Grilled Shimp with Pomelo which is one of my personal favorites. I love how charred the shrimp is and the vinaigrette is very flavorful, a great combination to the pomelo. Although their Bourbon Ribs could have been better with more serving, it was enough to satisfy our ribs craving. Take note that it doesn't have rice. Their Cerchio Chicken Bbq had a lot of serving. Java rice was good enough for two people. Unfortunately, one of the pieces had a very small insect in or on it, moving around.
Overall, aside from the delicious food and minimalist design (by the Almario sisters, like Romulo's), we love the place for its sentimental value, of course. No regrets having our first date there. 😊
I love cerchio the first time i ate here but today it's quite different. Crispy pata is not as soft than the first time i tried it. But other than that i guess some still taste the same. Ordered a lot of food again since it's my friend's birthday. Ambience is still as nice it's just that there's a fly going around our table and the other table as well. I didnt like that.

When on a hunt for an Asian feast
At Cerchio you must not cease
To eat, to drink, to feast all day
Enjoyment is the only way
The prawns there are so succulent
This is delicious turbulence
The squid with black rice is the bomb
On your plate will be left no crumb
BEAUTIFUL PLACE & REALLY, REALLY GREAT FOOD.
This is the only restaurant I go to whenever I crave for Filipino food.
Must-try:
•Singaporean Crispy Squid Heads
•Sisig (But if you've tried sisig from Sisig Hooray, don't order this, you'll be disappointed)
•Crispy Pata
•Grilled Kare-Kare

I first learned about Cerchio when my nephew was celebrating his first birthday. They have a spacious second floor that can hold parties. The restaurant serves Filipino and some Asian food in a chic and comfortable environment.
Their food presentation makes your mouth water, and once you try it, it will blow your mind. Food is definitely delicious and they are very creative to innovate.
Best recommendations are: Sisig, Grilled Kare Kare, Singaporean Crispy Squid Heads, Tokwa't Baboy.
Filipino food- revamped! Always a pleasure dining at this joint! Excellent food and awesome ambiance. The best place for gatherings and dates. 😘
One of the best Filipino restaurants I've been to! I love the grilled squid with their black rice! Also, their Crispy Pata is TO DIE FOR. Based on experience, a lot celebrities come to this place to have dinner. The crew is very approachable and friendly. They make sure they attend to your requests and needs ASAP. Very satisfying food and service. Desserts? Yes, they have it! Try their blueberry cheesecake:)! 5.0 rating

4.5 for Cerchio ?
We've been here a few times. The first time we visited this place was 2 years ago. We stayed at the second floor veranda. Like one review it was dusty. Service is slow I guess because we were outside. The food we ordered tasted so so. We came back recently and ordered vietnamese spring roll, grilled shrimp with pomelo salad, and kare kare and they were good.
Cerchio is a place where we always gather towards the weekend. To dine, to have quality time catching up with friends, listen to Fri or Sat bands and enjoy the good food and good laugh with good friends. It is always worth staying in this resto. Sumptuous food and warm people.
This is definitely my favorite restaurant, the ambience and food are both great! The grilled tuna sashimi is a unique twist to raw food vs cooked although mostly their dishes are filipino themed but they've raised it to a higher level. The restaurant itself has a great and elegant feeling to it, perfect venue for dates and small celebrations
Food was great. However, parking was terrible. There were also some flies on he table where we were seated at. overall, it was a good experience nonetheless.
Offering an impressive, cozy Filipino fusion dining experience, Cerchio is a dimly-lit culinary find tucked away among the Scouts along Tomas Morato. It's the kind of place you'd like to spend a regular weekend pig out with a special someone or your family. They serve well-plated dishes of Pinoy delicacies with their own fresh twist. The crispy pata is what I go back there for, but there's also the crispy squid. Their desserts are a must as well. If you're looking to chill with friends over some booze in a very modern-looking place, cap the night with a slice of cake, or plan a reunion with old friends, this would be the perfect place to do it. The only reason this place ain't 5 on my book is because of the parking in this place. But don't fret; if you're not too attached to your car, they have a valet service (which in most cases, I generally don't avail). Cerchio won't blow you away, but you'll spend many a happy night eating in this place.
Who ever thought that you can experience private dining in an area full of thumping clubs and bars?! Cerchio just gives you that highend feel that makes it seem like you're having a party in a friend's house. Oh yeah, the food tastes good - elevated Pinoy dishes! The Sisig with those quail eggs on top were just so cute and yummy!! I suggest you eat here first before you get drunk with your friends. ????????????????????????????

If you’re looking for some modern Asian-fusion cuisine to satisfy your gustatory cravings in a cozy place, Cerchio Grill and Lounge in Scout Limbaga near Tomas Morato is your best bet. With cozy interiors and uber comfy couch chairs, minimalist design with a touch of Zen, Cerchio Grill and Lounge is truly perfect for that lunch meeting with a client, Friday gatherings or weekend hangout with your closest buddies, or simply a family place to dine and relax. The upper part of the restaurant is also really good because it has an extension veranda where smoking diners can stay and dine in al fresco.
The food was really good. The pumpkin soup was deliciously creamy and perfect to start off your meal. The Peri-peri chicken also tastes good although there were some parts that tend to appear a bit dry, but overall, it perfectly goes well with their signature rice. And besides the creaminess of pumpkin soup somehow compensates the dry parts of the chicken.
The buffalo spicy wings add a bit of lemony zing into your palate. I find their wings spicy and I honestly do not recommend it to kids, I do not personally think they will appreciate this spicy buffalo wings; they might not tolerate the level of hot chili. Surprisingly, I saw a kid diner who seemed to enjoy it so much that he licks his own fingers as he bites into the hot wings. I admire that chubby kid—he’s red-faced and all but he doesn’t seem to mind as long as he digs into that basket of spicy buffalo wings.
Anyway, there’s more you can eat, order and explore here at Cerchio Grill and Lounge. There’s the Singaporean crispy squid on a bed of fried vermicelli, fried herbed and crusted dory fish that goes well with a choice of either creamy aioli tartar sauce or vinaigrette balsamic vinegar with cilantro and minced tomatoes as a dipping sauce.
Cerchio Grill and Lounge is located at #76 Scout Limbaga St. Tomas Morato, Quezon City. It’s one block away from the T. Morato Boyscout’s Circle, on the side of Congo Grill.

If not for the lechon advert posted by the parking lot, I never would have thought Cerchio offered Filipino cuisine. I was thinking more Asian fusion or European, but no. The only thing that looked Pinoy, apart from the menu, of course, was the second floor azotea-type dining area (which I only got to see from the outside).
Considering the minimalist, fine dining ambience, the food were rather reasonably priced. Of course, we never got to sample a lot, since only one among our ranks hadn't had dinner yet, and the rest of us decided to just get dessert. We did manage to try the Crispy Hito and the sisig. They were out a number of their cakes, so we ended up with two orders each of the Chocnut Tiramisu, Mango Float, and Langka Creme Brulee, to go around.
First things first- the catfish. I don't know about similar dishes offered in other restaurants, but their version did not taste like fish. It tasted like chicharon, which can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it. Personally, I'd have liked for it to be a little thicker so one could taste even the thinnest layer of moist fish inside, but hey, maybe that's how they like it. A plate is priced at 300-something, but the serving size definitely warranted the price.
Chercio's Sisig - it was served in three mounds, each topped with a quail egg fried sunny side up. The bulk of it was made up of crunchy pork, which I prefer to the more ligament-y offerings of other restaurants. It was good sisig, but it would have tasted better with some acidity to cut through the richness of the pork.
On to the desserts... I liked the tiramisu, but calling it a Chocnut Tiramisu was a stretch. I did NOT taste any Chocnut, which was good, since I'm not that partial to the thing. However, it was a bit of a misrepresentation... I guess they called it as such to put a Pinoy twist to the Italian dessert. Also, the ladyfingers were a bit too soggy from excessive espresso dunking, it was a wonder the tiramisu maintained its shape
The Mango Float did NOT deserve its price tag. Heck, I make better mango floats than that. And they said it was their bestseller? tsk.
The Langka Creme Brulee was nice. It was heavier than most creme brulees I've tried, verging on cheesecake consistency. The langka tasted a bit synthetic, but it went surprisingly well with the brulee. And of course, who doesn't like torched sugar?
I managed to try their Cool as Cucumber mocktail, which practically screamed for booze. Limeade, mint, cucumber. Very refreshing. But yeah. Some tequilla was definitely amiss. lol.
All in all, I would say that the food was adequate, but not really mind-blowing. Good value for money, though. I guess I still need to try out more of their menu items the next time. However, I'm rating the entire experience, so I'm bumping them up because I was there with some of my favorite people. The deserted smoking area made for a perfect impromptu jam session/concert venue, even though only one of us smoked. It was a wonderful Christmas party, and we thank the kind folks of Cerchio for not kicking us out. lol.
Excellent food at a reasonable price. The fried squid, tilapia, and mixed vegetables were delicious. We'll definitely order those items again!
