Very cozy place to eat and work. We went here pass lunch time and it was still packed. I planned to take pictures but yeah, the place was really full of people working and eating when we went. The food is great! I ordered steak and my companion ordered the beef with special sauce. We also ordered pizza and mango graham. I'll definitely comeback. Though they are accepting limited cards so to be sure, just prepare cash for payment.
I love everything about this cafe! It’s my new favourite now! ❤️
Went here looking for a good place to have breakfast and i was definitely not disappointed. Loved how bright and cheery the place is. The decoration is minimal and very pleasing to the eyes. It's a great place to celebrate for a small, intimate gathering.
The tapa is a bit hard to chew but still good. The lucban longganisa is toasted on the outside and soft on the inside which is perfect. The food is a bit lukewarm though, it would have been so much better if it were hot. For just an additional 25php, you can get their brewed coffee. Perfect for their breakfast meals.
It was Father's day and we came in hungry from the heat of the sun. First thing we noticed was the clean minimalistic facade of the resto. They had big glass panels and white accents outside giving an inviting vibe. Inside, there were wooden tables and lamps made of drinking glass and other ornaments. Floor was laid out with Moroccan tiles, the walls adorned with bricks and plants which complete the aesthetics. For the food, we got the okonomiyaki chips, the roast beef, the twice cooked pork belly and the signature steak with potatoes. Flavor and texture does not get any better than this but serving size was a bit small for some of the meat dishes. Okonomiyaki is best shared with friends and family.
Dined about 3 weeks ago so this is a late review. As always, this restaurant never fails to satisfy. Their service has gotten better and faster as well. I just think the mussles overload can still be improved. Kare kare tastes good as well as the beef x.o.

I love that it’s located at a quiet neighborhood near West Ave and right beside a pet grooming place. Great place to hang while waiting for your dog to be groomed. Menu is kinda limited but dishes I’ve tried so far were good. Their shakes and desserts are also delicious (maybe a bit too sweet but good nevertheless). Parking is a bit limited at peak hours since there’s also a gym in the compound and I wish they accepted credit/debit cards. Visit this when you’re in search of a new cafe near Qave and West Ave.
My friends and i was seated outside because there was a closed event for a bday celebration. We're glad that we were accomodated and the weather was cool so we're okay. The staff are friendly and the food we ordered came out fast. I ordered their bangus belly, the combination of pesto and mango salsa on top is something new to me which i love, it lessens the fishy taste of the bangus belly. The caesar salad was a bit saucy, too much dressing i guess but it was good. I only got a taste of their roast beef, my friend ordered it, and it was tender and flavorful. The sisig dish i didn't try because they said it's spicy so i skipped it. Lastly the dessert, skillet cookie sunday. It's good for sharing, i just think that the ice cream should be a big scoop. And it should be eaten right away because the cookie sticks on the pan. Overall, it was great experience. Value for money.
Very satisfied with their food and customer service. The ambience is very relaxing and homey. they have limited parking space but they will assist you for the convenience of their customers
Had a lovely time during our visit here together with my friends. Everything on our table was superb and their serving was really huge. ^_^ The ambiance and the crew were all great too. Will come back to bring mom here. :)
My family loved this place. From inside resto to outside. It has a homey ambiance. Our second time to dined here and they nevel fail to impressed us. We love the food and the serving. Definitely going back.

I definitely love this place! It's so classy from inside out! The staff are very polite and accomodating, and the food are superb! We ordered one each of the starters, pasta, pizza, sandwiches and desserts. All of them are so yummy and I can say that the prices are just right. I highly recommend the mango graham, heaven!
Hope to be back to try the other dishes soon! :) thank you, Cafe Dominique! :)

A good friend of mine has been wanting to take me to Cafe Dominique for the longest time, and we finally got the chance to go! 🙌🏻 The restaurant had a lovely interior that was both homey and simple— dyed in tones of white and brown with glass windows that let a lot of light in. They may be known for fusion-type comfort food, but their appetizers are the wildcard with their unique combinations— just like their fried Mozzarella Cheese Puffs.
I do hope to try more of this next time when there's more of us, but for now, my friend and I went for their main dishes: Twice-cooked Pork Belly and Kare-Kareng Bagnet. Presentation was lovely, and portions were generous. I haven't had Kare Kare in forever because they often cook it with beef (which I don't eat) so the nutty flavors of the sauce paired with crunchy pork (a great alternative, by the way) was a nostalgic one. I especially love the bagoong rice— it's flavorful, sweet and salty, and paired really well with the meat.
My only concern was that the Bagnet was a bit too hard for my liking. Perhaps it was cooked a bit too much? This could use some work. Chewy pork with crunchy skin would have made this all better.
The Fried Mozzarella Puffs though are a definite must-have! These crispy fritters encase gooey cheese that ooze like liquid gold when cut open. Spread it on their sweet and sour Marinara sauce for flavors that cut across the richness of their cheese. To complete the experience, woodsy alfalfa sprouts decorate the top of this lovely appetizer— truly a great start for your meal. ❤️

Went here for early lunch and ordered the following:
- Okonomiyaki Twisters
- Roasted Potato Soup
- Creamy Mushroom Soup
- Salpicado Express
- Roast Beef with XO Sauce
- Kare-kareng Bagnet
- Longganisang Lucban (we requested it to be 'tustado')
Their version of the japanese okonomiyaki rocks! 👏 Instead of the normal flat pancake, they had it deconstructed and served ala nachos style, with fried potato twists, thinly sliced egg and squid, topped with nori and sesame seeds, then drizzled generously with teriyaki sauce and some sort of mayo dressing. Serving's huge; 4 of us shared this appetizer and we're close to feeling full after finishing this dish off. This is a family favorite and we'll surely be ordering this again on our next visit. 😍
Another fave is the roast beef. Tender meat and savoury sauce. An order comes with a side of veggies, a cup of rice and mashed potatoes, so this could be a bit carbo-overload for some, but no complaints here. 😋
The rest was okay, too. Salpicao was expectedly salty, but not overly so. The bagnet skin in kare-kare was crunchy and I liked the bagoong rice, but I'm looking for a richer taste of peanut in the sauce.
Inside the restaurant, it's pretty spacious, clean and nicely decorated. The place is conducive to long, comfy lunches. Server was attentive. Parking's a cinch, too.

Decided to go solo for lunch and take a peak at this gem which I have heard a lot of good reviews about in QC
Bit off the beaten track...but worth the trip nevertheless
Great decor, chill place..good to take someone on a date where you want some conversation
Some new takes on some classic Filipino dishes as well as some fusion Dragonball hits
Ordered
- Okonomiyaki Crisps
- Kare Kare Bagnet
- Roast Beef with XO Sauce
- Mango Graham
Okonomiyaki Crisps
Ordered this dish just for the waiter to say to me "This is better for sharing sir"...a good sign that I was going to get a big serving...I just responded "Look at me...I'm a big guy" (I am!!!! 127kg)
Wow...was not disappointed....big heap of hand cut chips with nori, jap mayonnaise and okonomiyaki sauce...
The chips were fantastic and sauces were great...my only issue was soooooo much sauce.
Decided for the interests of the main courses to forgo finishing it (still ate 90% of it ;p)
Kare Kare Bagnet
Kare kare is one of my favourite Filipino dishes of all time...and what way to make it different using crispy pork bagnet....and of course plent bagaong (shrimp paste)
But wait theres more...it was served with binagoonan rice!!!! Ahhh heaven smiled on me today
Roast Beef with XO Sauce
This was a very surprising dish....the beef was good and tender - but the sauce was on another astral plane of taste...I was soaking my rice in that sauce and licking it
Only issue was the picture in the menu showed it served with long beans but the one I was served came with what looked like supermarket mixed veggies...not a huge issue but can see the dish aesthetically looks 100% better with the long beans
Mango Graham
What a way to finish a mean...this ladies and gentleman was the coup de grace
It was like Mortal Kombat "FINISH HIM!"
Boy did I finish this bad boy...to the point I ordered a 2nd one!!!
Think biscuit layer then mango pieces and condensed milk... then repeat...all frozen then a big chunk of mango ice cream on top...aiyah the mango life
Overall I highly recommend this place...bit middle of nowhere but the place has a great vibe and service was top notch.
Not to mention as discussed the food was amaze balls
The ambiance of the place was amazing! The vibes is very relaxing. They have big servings and it taste very good ! See the place at night time, its instagram worthy 👌
If you want to simply relax while having coffee or all-day breakfast, this is the best place for you. It is located on a "not so busy" street of West Triangle and parking at Cafe Dominique is not a problem. The place has clean and homey interiors, nice staff and good coffee.
Great place, great food, great service. Yummy nacho pizza. Beef tapa and salpicado were also delicious👍Relaxing music, perfect for reading a book while having a cup of coffee after the meal. What more can we ask for? Maybe offer free wifi and have a security guard? We will definitely be back :) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We always pass by this restaurant whenever we're heading home. We never got the chance to dine here before although it's near our place. Yesterday I and my husband are looking for a place to dine and celebrate our anniversary, so I thought of this place. Good thing it's near our place.
I love the ambience of this resto, very chill, laid back and quiet. Their interiors are very minimalist and have a homey feels to it.
For the appetizer, we ordered Okonomiyaki Twisters, mushroom soup and All hail Caesar. For the main entree, Creamy Four Cheese Pizza, Roasted Herb Chicken Au Ju and Salpicado Express. We loved them all. The serving is big and good for sharing too. We'll definitely come back and try their other dishes. 😀
I had been eager to try this restaurant due to the high ratings, but I was also skeptical about it. We wanted to eat somewhere near, so we decided to give it a shot — and I was glad that we did.
Parking was okay, we had to park across the street because they only had 4-6 slots available. There were less than 3 groups dining in the restaurant at the time we went in, so we figured that the parking was shared with the other stores in the same compound.
We ordered both the mushroom and pumpkin soup to start, but the taste was a bit watered down. I like their okonomiyaki twisters - definitely something to try.
Their beef tapa and roast beef was good, however, my comment for roast beef is to have it with mashed potatoes instead (or at least give the option to change rice into potatoes). They had it with a small serving of mashed potatoes and huge serving of rice.
Overall, I love their food and would come back to try their other dishes out.

Finally, got the chance to dine here with my family after eye-ing this restaurant for a month or so. Café Dominique’s place is so instagram-worthy! The place is kinda peaceful and cozy. I think, I already found the right restaurant for my “introverted personality.”
Going back, we ordered: Truffle pasta, Okonomiyaki twisters, Garlic chicken, Roast beef with x.o sauce, Oreo and Ripe mango shake. Truffle pasta is good but lacks of flavors. Okonomiyaki twisters is a bomb! We really love its sweet-zesty taste and its crunchiness. Love the sweet-honey glazed taste of Garlic chicken too. Roast beef is a must try! My mom love how tender the beef is and how creamy the sauce is. Sana lang mas madami yung serving ng mashed potatoes kaysa sa rice. Because for us, roast beef is really best served with mashed potatoes. Nothing special with their Oreo shake. Ripe mango shake is too bitter based on the comment of my grandma. I can say that every meal that we tried is worth of its price because of its taste and huge serving.
When it comes to service, staffs are well mannered and all smile when taking our food orders but, I hope they’ll be more attentive next time.
Over all, we had an enjoyable stay. I can’t wait to be back. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and colleagues. More power, Café Dominique. 😊
Love their nacho pizza!!! So yummy I can finish the whole pizza in 30 minutes. The place is cozy. I wonder why I only discovered this just now. 😁
My all time fav spot whenever I feel like I need to go out but still have the privacy like I'm still at home. Wonderful ambience, customer service - satisfaction guaranteed, fantastic dishes and legit coffee experience :) One visit will never be enough!
Okonomiyak twisters (195php) 5/5. We like the sauce. This is the first time I have eaten something like this. So unique and yummy appetizer!
All Hail Ceasar Salad (250php) 5/5. The ingredients were fresh!
Roast Beef with XO Sauce 5/5. One of their best seller. Good quality beef and yummy sauce!
Mango lychee shake 5/5.
Under Cover Smores 5/5. It was serve inside a clear jar. It was so yummy that I almost want to order another one. First layer was the burnt marshmallows and the middle was something that is so creamy, then at the last part was some grounded graham crackers. It also comes with one graham cracker.
I like their service because they gave us a whole pitcher of water with lemon even though we didn’t ask for it. Also, the waiters were attentive.
Price 5/5
Ambiance 5/5
Service 5/5
PS. No problem with parking space.
They have really good food! If you happen to visit, don’t forget to try their Bagnet Kare-Kare. It’s one of the best I’ve tried so far. ❤️ My friend and I chanced to meet the owner (who was really nice and accommodating). They do allow you to rent the whole place for intimate events!
When me and my family goes out, i am the one assign in choosing a restaurant and making reservation since i am fond of reading blogs especially about travel and resto. I consider a place where not that jump pack since everyone is celebrating father’s day. Also I look for a resto where my kids and nieces enjoy the place and food.
Cafe Dominique is the best place to be if you want for you and your family a nice talk while having lunch. The place is very cozy and relaxing. I was late on our lunch time since I came from work that is why I wasn’t able to picture other menu. But the kare kareng bagnet makes my tummy happy and content.
Tucked in Examiner St is this quaint place. Found out about this place in this app. So for family sunday lunch, we headed off here.
First off the place is lovely. Not is it just IG perfect, but i love the full glass windows, the relaxing ambiance. Servers would greet you with full smiles on their faces. Pastries were displayed on one of the tables.
We had the ff:
Cali make salad
Mushroom soup
Glorious cheese steak
Carbonara
Longanisa lucban
Deli style tuna sandwich
Roast beef
Garlic chicken
Chocolate and strawberry donuts.
Everything except for the donuts were a delight to eat. 👍👍👍
Having lunch here sure made our gloomy rainy day happy ❤

If youve been to cafe dominique and you thought that you're experiencing dejavu, relax you are not trapped in the matrix. Cafe Dominique has a familiar feel because its always featured in local teeny bopper movies and its easy to see why. Within its chic and cozy interiors would be a captioned wall that would make you remember where you saw the cafe. Its located along the sleepy and uncongested examiner street just a stone throw away from bustling EDSA, perfect for if youre trying to clear your head with a cup joe. They serve good coffee, nothing exceptional, just a full bodied brew. I wasnt too impressed though with their confections, I ordered their signature dessert, what the fudge, which was essentially their version of a triple stacked brownie a la mode. The brownie was dried and the ice cream was just your normal grocery icecream nothing special. What made up for the pedestrian experience was the size of the serving for the price. The dessert can serve 3 easily. I would definitely comeback here if I want to write, clear my head or just get work done.

It has been a super busy April for me, which was why I rarely had the chance to meet with Josh. 😞 Good thing we were able to squeeze in a lunch date with V and her puppy, Walnut. V mentioned that Cafe Dominique is a dog-friendly cafe, and since I have heard a lot of good things about Cafe Dominique from the reviews of fellow foodies, I agreed to give it a try. 😊
When we got there, it was sweltering outside, so the server advised us to let Walnut stay outdoors (of course, we went out to play with him and give him water to drink once in a while) since dogs aren't allowed in the indoors dining area. The heat was unbearable, so we agreed to do this, instead of our original plan to go for outdoor seating. 😅
When we went in, I immediately admired the simple but homey interiors of the cafe. 🤗 From the outside, you'd think that they only serve coffee, probably some snacks, and desserts. But once you get the menu, you will be amazed at how much food they serve. 😲 Here's what we got:
✅ For V: DOMINIQUE'S BREAKFAST TAPA (Php 185) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Whenever I see dishes named after the restaurant, one thing immediately comes to mind -- it's most probably a bestseller. 👌For this, the tapa is actually pretty tasty, probably home-marinated to its perfect taste. However, the beef was a bit tough to chew, probably a bit overcooked or the parts used weren't that tender at all.
✅ For Josh: LONGGANISANG LUCBAN (Php 185) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Josh loved it so much! 💜 They toasted it a bit, which is the recommended way to enjoy their Lucban Longganisa. Even without vinegar, it was meatily flavorful on its own. As with longganisas hailing from Lucban, these meaty logs are packed with the flavor and aroma of garlic. Each bite of it made Josh smile from ear to ear. 😁 He also had an add-on of their house blend brewed coffee, but didn't enjoy it as much as he said it was unpleasantly bitter. 😣
✅ For Me: PESTO CRUSTED BANGUS (Php 235) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have read good things on this on plenty of reviews, so I got this for myself. It was pretty good! The boneless bangus belly was juicy, the pesto sauce was creamy and tasty, and the mango salsa screams of freshness. 😋 The rice was also tasty, but I'm not sure what they put in it! Hehe. Serving size was quite filling as well. My only concern was their menu item name... Because it wasn't actually pesto crusted. When we say crusted, it should have been a thicker or chunkier sauce, not the flowy sauce I was served with. 😅 Don't get me wrong, I loved the dish. I just found the name of the dish to be quite misleading.
The service was initially great, but after a while, our lady server seemed annoyed at what she's doing. We we requested her to snap a photo of us, she did it haphazardly and with a frown on her face. 😟 Huhu. I know being a server can oftentimes be tiring, but I hope they don't take it out on the guests. 😢
As mentioned, ambiance is super nice! I loved the chill vibe that is perfect for a hearty meal with friends or family, a quick coffee break, or sweet dessert with your loved one. 😉 I will definitely come back to try more of their unique food items! 💕
#EatDrinkSplurge
Even though I live just nearby, this is the first time I’ve tried eating here at Cafe Dominique. And to be honest, I kind of regret not eating here sooner.
All Hail Caesar - 4/5. It was flavorful, there were a lot of toppings that went into the salad and it was quite obvious that a lot of effort was put into it.
Kare-Kareng Bagnet - 4/5. Seriously loved this dish because it’s a fusion of 2 of my favorite Filipino dishes. Flavorful Kare-Kare flavor, plus tender Bagnet meat.
Okonomiyaki Twisters - 4.5/5. This is the dish I would recommend from everything we ordered. I’ve had Okonomiyaki before and I loved it, but Cafe Dominique literally added a twist to it with this Okonomiyaki Twister. Best eaten while still hot because the flavors are still enhanced.
Overall a great dining experience here, along with great value for money because of their generous serving sizes. Will definitely be back!
Love the food!! But yung mga main dishes sold out na by 8-9pm 😢 So don’t go on a late dinner 🥘 The staff are polite. Kare -Kareng Bagnet is a must.
I’ve been hearing good stuff about this restaurant for a long time until my boyfriend and I decided to try it ourselves. Well, they were never wrong. The food is super awesome, delicious and very affordable. We actually ate here 3x in just a span of 2 weeks and will definitely go back to try out all of the food. Also, we would love to bring our whole family here and eat after our Sunday service. Five stars! 😍

I think Cafe Dominique is one of those places that the North area can be proud of! It is a hidden gem in the metro that is worth the price and traffic! I always see this place packed whenever we passed by and we can't help but to be curious!
We finally decided to eat here and we used the booky app that offers 500off for a minimum spend of 1 thousand pesos. What a great deal, right?
We ordered:
Mozarrella balls (i forgot the exact name! Hehe
Truffle Pasta
Crispy Sisig
Mashed Potato
Twice cooked pork belly
Milo dinosaur
The mozarrella balls were amazing! Im not a cheese person but it was cooked well and its a bonus that it was served hot! The truffle pasta was okay i tried better versions from otjer restaurants. The crispy sisig and twice cooked pork belly were a surprise! The pork belly was so soft and it blends very well to the house gravy! Mashed potatoes were also good! We regret that we didnt ordered 2 milo dinosaurs and just shared for one serving! It was yummy! Just right sweetness to match our orders!
Overall, it was a good dining experience in Cafe Dominique! We are definitely coming back! 😊
Food - 4.5/5
We only intented to eat light snack since we're just waiting for the carwash to be done so we initially ordered milo dinosaur, root beer float and chicken fingers with fries. After our orders arrived the pizza at the next table also arrived. We looked ay it and immediately asked for the menu again. It was not a failure since their pizza was superb. The root beer float can also be shared by 2.
Service - 4/5
The crew was a bit slow maybe because the place was crowded at that time but they are still friendly and courteous.
Venue - 4/5
The ambiance was quite comfy, feels like you're eating at home. You can choose to eat inside or outside since they have a porch area where you can bring your pets. Limited parking but near to carwash, massage parlor, pet care..

This place, I think, is one of the hidden food gems in QC. They’re not even in the busy food areas, but it’s in one of the streets in West Triangle. Seeing the place from the outside, it’s really attractive with its glass windows through which you can see the interiors. It’s very homey and it has a relaxing vibe even during the usual expected meal times.
For the food, we ordered pesto crusted bangus, Lucban longganisa, and garlic chicken. Their pesto crusted bangus is a must try. I’m not a fan of bangus belly because I find it fatty and too fishy for my taste, but this one was a hit. Although you still taste the fish, the pesto and mango salsa on too of it masks the fishy smell and taste perfectly. Their Lucban longganisa is pretty good too. It’s even more perfect when you have it the Cafe Domique way, which is when they cook the longganisa longer so it will have a crispy exterior. Dunk it in the vinegar, and it’s perfect. As for the garlic chicken, this one for me is so-so. It’s fried chicken glazed with sweet garlic sauce, like Korean style. But there are some parts that tasted a little bitter, like maybe the sugar in the sauce got burnt.
They have pretty big servings too so if your appetite is not that much, you can split one order into two, particularly the garlic chicken because it comes with two large pieces of chicken. So even if their prices are a little high, the big servings and everything else compensate for it.
One downside though is parking. It can be challenging finding a good parking spot near the place. Plus right now they only accept cash payments.
All in all, this place is still a must try. Good relaxing ambience. Well-maintained facilities. Friendly servers. Good food.
Finally we got to tried this cafe in qc. They have a clean interiors which is a factor for me when trying new restaurant. They have good service. Crews are polite and attentive. For the food we ordered the creamy four cheese pizza, kare kare bagnet, crispy sisig, pesto crusted bangus and roast beef with XO sauce.
Four cheese pizza-5/5
The group enjoyed this food the most.
Bagnet kare kare- 3.5/5
I like the presentation and the big serving but it lacks the taste of a great kare kare
Pesto crusted bangus- 3/5
Ordered this because of the good reviews I’ve read here in zomato but unfortunately didnt enjoy it that much. Reminds me to stick to pesto pasta next time
Roast beef in XO sauce- 4/5
Beef is soft. Sauce is delicious. Another must try from their menu.
Crispy sisig- 4/5
It is definetely crispy. Taste is good. We enjoyed this food too.
nice and cozy place .. we ordered okoyominaki twister crispy sisig and iced mocha.. the price is reasonable since they got huge serving.. recommended if you like to hangout with group of friends because the place is spacious.. i don't find something special with their food.. or maybe i just picked the wrong choice in their menu? 😝

Though my friends have been dining here a bunch of times, and they always order one of the specials, honestly, I’ve never tried it out. 😂
So one Sunday with a bunch of friends courtesy of Eatigo’s 50% off, we came over and ate the food we liked. I finally was able to try their Karekareng Bagnet. I like the new plating they have.
• Karekareng Bagnet (275php) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ surprisingly i liked the brown rice that goes with it.. but the rice was just too much for me. The bagnet was good, i like the skin because it was really crispy.. mejo mataba lang ung meat, which I’m not really a fan of fatty portions (unless it’s crispy or it’s lechon 🐽), the veggies were also good though i only tasted some of it. I like the peanut sauce, it wasn’t thick like in other restos, flavor was also good 👌
• Oreo Milkshake (145php) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ not a fan. IMO it was just okay for me. Probably because i was imagining it to be like a McFlurry texture type 🙊
We also ordered some desserts (no photo)
• Undercover S’mores (190php) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ i only liked the toasted mallows on top.. not a fan of too much creaminess
• Mango Graham (190php) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ultimate favorite. Reminds me of my lola’s mango float 😊
Service was just okay. Food was served promptly within the given time. Requests were accommodated well. My friends loved the food they ordered.
I love The Eatigo discount though 🙊😂

The time you have been waiting for is right now because I am showing you the best breakfast buffet for the price of P199. This is a collaboration between Cafe Dominique x Hungry Manila. I am so excited to share to you my experience because this is not your ordinary buffet.
Resto : Cafe Dominique
Location : 42 Examiner St. West Triangle, Quezon City
Operating Hours : Mon- Fri 11AM- 10PM, Sat- Sun 10AM- 10PM
Weekend Breakfast Buffet : 7AM- 10AM
If you haven’t been here, you have to because the place is aesthetically a place for shoots and events or just casual family dining. Glass walls and sunlight will greet you once you enter the place. I, myself, fell inlove with it because it’s a great place to unwind and dine.
Recently, they introduced their weekend breakfast buffet and it’s the best thing one could ever think of. Imagine starting your day with good food and to think that it’s just P199. Can’t believe it actually because they serve delicious foods like spam, adobo, etc. As simple as it may seem, I actually loved their fluffy scrambled eggs. They also have longganisa, tawilis, and sinangag when we visited. If you think that they repeat their weekend set, they don’t. You will surely have differet buffet sets everytime you visit and they make sure that you will enjoy every bite.
Coffee and pandesal were also present. You can choose blueberry jam, butter, and/ or peanut butter spread. After a sumptuous meal, don’t forget to have a taste of their desserts. They have churros and waffles ready for your sweet tooth.
Although this is a sponsored post, I assure you that their food were all delicious and very satisfying for the price of P199. Visit them and be sated.

I stayed at Cafe Dominique while waiting for the carwash (which is right in front of it).
The restaurant ambiance here is so peaceful, and it allows you to really focus if you are here to work/study. I was supposed to stay for only 30 mins. But i ended up staying until their closing time. They only accept orders and customers until 10pm but you can stay inside until 11pm.
The way they serve their food and drinks is presentable and instagram-worthy (pr whatever blog or social media you guys have). I ordered a hot chocolate and although it tasted like the Hershey chocolate syrup, it was still good.
Their drinks are affordable, but their food is pretty pricey. I ordered the 4-cheese pizza which was amazing (cheese lover, cheese judger. It's really good).
They have power outlets so you can charge your gadgets here but there's no wifi.
If you like need a break from all the studying and working, you can go to the shops next to it and look for a new dress. Or you can take up cross fit and then cool down in this cafe after. Or pamper up your dog and then chill and wait here.
The crew is very very friendly and accommodating. There is parking for like 5 cars. And they have lemon water. Hehehe.
We accidentally passed by Cafe Dominique and decided to try it out for lunch. We tried the Beef Nacho Pizza and the Carbonara Benedict. The pizza was really good although the pasta was a bit bland.
The place has a great ambiance, perfect for unwinding and hanging out with friends and family. Only one staff was available at that time so the service was a bit slow.

Cafe Dominique offers great pastas! I went here on a Saturday night and the service was quite slow coz the cafe was jampacked but could be forgiven for their tasteful foods! Seafood pasta tasted really fresh as well as the pesto penne. I love the freshness of the ingredients diving in to my tastebuds! And hey, their milo dino is a hit! I believe both young and young at hearts would love it. I just really hope they could give more graham crakers with their s'mores coz it's so sweet to handle! The place was nice too and if they add few more designs and details it would be perfect. I would definitely recommend cafe dominique to all foodies!

Everything on their menu is good. Each had a very distinct taste from the others. Bagnet kare kare, garlic chicken, twice cooked pork are all good. For dessert, try the cookie skillet ala mode (?) not sure what it's called exactly. Ambiance is also nice. Only downside is the waiting time for every order especially when their tables are full. It took time before the staff could even give us the menu.
The place looks cool! Super relaxing dito. We ordered their Flaky Tuna Pesto, Baked Mussels Overload, and Beef Nacho Pizza. Everything that we ordered are delicious! Serving is good for sharing so you can hangout here with your families/friends.
Crews are very nice and accomodating, jood job guys!
Will definitely come back here cause of the ambiance and of course their food.

So me and my friend are waiting for his schedule with crossfit which is just next door. He doesn't wanna order, so I just ordered myself a waffle. It's really good! The place was not full so they served my waffle quickly. I've never heard of this place before and so far I'm impressed, I'll definitely go back soon!

Cafe Dominique has been in my list (literal list!) of Quezon City restaurants to visit. Honestly? It has been there for a good four weeks now and been relegated to "emergency" status. Emergency is "dito-na-lang- dahil-wala -ako-sa-mood-to-think" mood. You know... its a time when just anything will do. So, asked the driver to proceed to Examiner. Found it. With Daddy in tow, entered, and was impressed by the place.
Maaliwalas. Very apt Filipino word for it. The solo server was very accommodating and knowledgable of the menu.
Menu. Actually, I already have a mental note of what to order since I read the menu in the car (thanks, Zomato). The food came in a few minutes. Then, happiness ensued.
Dad was genuinely happy with his tender Twice Cooked Pork Belly and Raspberry Iced Tea and I with my Pesto Crusted Bangus AND (yes!) Rings and Wings (onion rings, chicken wings, veggie crudities). Daddy wolfed down our (we always share) Instragammable orders. Though unvoiced, he was in food heaven as he had his raspberry iced tea refilled and refilled and refilled (guess no after-meal coffee eh, dad?).
Look, Cafe Dominique does not serve ultra great food. No. It's not deserving to be described with pretentious adjectives (like, ho-hum... artisan!). Their food is good. Worthy your moolah. Period. But it is deserving of a second visit? Definitely. The place is so cozy, so comfortable that it gives a warm feel of home. Plus the good food that's worthy of your hard-earned money. Isn't that enough? Ask my dad who napped in the car on the way home.
My fiancé and I celebrated Valentine's Day here and availed their promo. Good thing we had a reservation. The ambience of the place is great, good service, and their food is reat as well. Tey ordering the baked mussels!!!

A friend of ours decided to treat us here for a study session after winning two literary awards. Thank you!
Anyway, I ordered their Pesto Crusted Bangus. Later on, we also ordered their Creamy Four Cheese Pizza.
I liked how they were generous with their pesto topping. The fish was also cooked perfectly! I just thought that, even though I was not the one who paid for it, the price seemed too expensive given the average-sized slab of milkfish I was given. Taste-wise, though, it was really delicious. For the pizza, my friends thought that the crust was too thin, but I actually enjoyed it. I loved how I can taste lots and lots of cheese with every bite!
For the place, I'm not sure if it's the perfect spot for studying because it could get noisy at times, but it's fine. However, my friends and I would like to request for them to widen their playlist. We were there for a few hours so we witnessed four sets of the same songs.
For the service, there was nothing particularly special about their waitstaff, but they were polite and friendly enough.

It was easy to find the Café. It was not too far from the main highway.
We were all looking forward to taste and see what Cafe Dominique has to offer
Ambience
It was well lit and the place look inviting. There were chairs and tables inside and outside of the restaurant where you can get to choose which ones you wish to dine at. It was all in glass so it was so easy to see what’s inside and vice versa. You also have a choice whether to seat on couch, steel or bar like chairs.
Service
I cannot find fault with the service since the servers were attentive to what we have to order. They even made helpful suggestions. Although I was aiming to give Mango Graham dessert a try they ran out of stock for the day.
Food
The prices that I have seen online does no longer apply. We ordered for
Seafood Marina- P350, it tasted fresh and has all of the seafood that we love: clam, shrimps and succulent and juicy squid cuts. I love the fresh tomato taste so did my daughter and her friend. We loved this too much that we ordered for two servings.
Creamy Four Cheese Pizza, P300- This reminds me of freshly baked Panizza that I tasted in one of the Fine Dining restaurants in SM Megamall. It was tasty, cheesy and has the herbs that I like.
Smores, P190- This was sweet and yet satisfying but, one helping is enough for me. I was disappointed not to have the chance to eat Mango Graham.
I was attempting to order for a Grape Shake but they again are out of stock. My daughter ordered for Milo Dinosaur, Mocca Frappe for her friend and Green Mango for me. This was all priced each at P115. I was not a fan of how the Green Mango tasted it lack that balance between citrusy and somewhat sweet blend.
Overall
Somehow there is a part of me that feel not really completely impress. It was my daughter’s 16th birthday and I decided to purchase a Metrodeal voucher. The thing is I failed to re-read and understand that there was some food on the menu that can bought using the voucher and the rest are not. This limits the choices. I did bought other similar offers but, there are at least no such limitations or at least more vouchers that I can use in one visit. In this case I can only use two a day and since it was almost the deadline I need to visit twice. Even so, without expectations from the Metrodeal voucher we decided to go back to give other dishes a try again.
Cafe Dominique opened in early 2016 along the quiet Examiner Street in West Triangle, Quezon City. The restaurant is best described by it's tagline: Where Food Meets Happiness. They serves a variety of dishes that's a mix of American and Asian Fusion. Indeed, it's safe to say that they simply want to serve you good food that'll make you beam with joy.
The restaurant hasn't gained the attention it deserved since it opened last year, but Cafe Dominique has had a few loyal customers that keep on coming back for both the food and the quiet ambiance. If you're looking for a quiet place to dine on a weekend, or have a nice dinner out on weekdays, then consider trying out Cafe Dominique.
Here's what you can expect from this hidden gem...

so nagpurchase ako ng 2 voucher sa metro deal. 275 pesos for 500 worth of food. pag punta namin kanina sa cafe. Ginreet kami ni ateng shoulder length and hair. ang ganda ng pagkaka greet niya full smile pa ang peg. tapos biglang sabi ko " ate may voucher po ako from metro deal". Hala si ateng parang biglang nandiri yung face niya. nakasimangot na siya sabi niya pasta, salad and drinks lang ang mabibili dun sa voucher.. nainis ako kase nanlook down ni ateng ah. siyempre birthday ko and gusto ko ng chef special so nagwithraw nlng ako sa malapit na bdo.. umorder ako ng mga orders na hnd covered ng voucher para mapamukha lng kay ateng na "hoy, may pera ako pangbili ng regular items sa menu niyo no!" nakakairita siya ah. hnd na siya ngumingitin after nun sabihin namin. a may voucher kami jahahahahaha.. sayang ok sana yung experience sa cafe na to. Pero yung ibang waiters sobrang bait like si ate na nakapony tail and si kuya na smiling face!
as for the food: MASARAP siya!! bawat dish hindi ako nadisappoint. balance ang lasa plus love ko yung MILO OVERLOAD!!:)) mahal lang for the serving but masarap siya. i will go back again ng my voucher hahaha.. wa ako pakels sayo ateng na shoulder length ang hair.

Cafe Dominique is a restaurant located at West Triangle, Quezon City. It offers good food and a very relaxing ambiance that's perfect for lunch or dinner. The restaurant is located along Examiner Street just beside CrossFit MNL. . The restaurant is well lit and it's perfect for family or barkada gatherings.
Quezon City. Cafe Dominique is located along examiner st. near Quezon. Avenue. The area isn't populated much by commercial establishments so. parking is very much available just outside the restaurant. Dominique has nicely decorated interiors with a light feel. A lot. windows and drop down lights are utilized for good lighting. Good
My place to be! Who would have thought that in the tiny road of examiner st. they have this extravagant restaurant here. The food was so amazing! Since I'm a pasta lover I got hooked by their Carbonara! I must say that this is the best carbonara i ever tasted. Oreo MilkShake is my favorite drinks so creamy and you can really taste the real Oreo. Chicken Finger is awesome and four cheese Pizza as well. Great value for the Money. I always dine here and i love it everyday! :)
I recently went here with my family and we were the only ones there. I gotta say this place is very instgram worthy and since we were the only costumers there, I was able to take pictures without people blocking the one I want to take a photo of. And their food was both satisfying and not. Cookie Monster – php 175
Drove thru examiner Street and found this cute cafe. The set up was nice and bright. It's not pretentious and a no frills cafe. The food's good and the serving size is okay. I must say most, especially from the ala carte menu, is only for 1-2 persons only.
Personally loved their roast chicken mains and pasta in marinara sauce. coffee's cheap too add it with their cute Mango graham cake for dessert 👍
Great ambience. Has this bush in a tin can for instagram worthy photos. Haha. Their interior is nice. NO wifi. Cash basis only. No credit or debit cards accepted.
Location wise, right now examiner street road is under construction. Has a small parking area for vehicles.
Food presentation is great. As you can see in the photos, it looks amazing. The taste however is somewhat ordinary for me. Like we ordered the chicken and fries and it tasted like chicken fries. Haha. Same goes with the steak, the milo dinosaur, and the smores. Price for dishes are reasonable ranging from 150.00php for appetizers, drinks, desserts, the likes to 400.00php for the main dishes.
I would go back and try their other dishes and drinks. Hope they consider getting wifi since its a cafe.
A precious gem hidden in the heart of Examiner St. The place is very neat and clean, great interior, well lit, the staff are very friendly and accommodating. All of us enjoyed the food here! Very affordable too. I recommend these: fried mozzarella puffs, baked mussels overload, roasted herb chicken, twice cooked pork belly, pesto crusted bangus, creamy four cheese pizza, beef nacho, under cover s'mores, mango graham, skillet cookie sundae, garlic chicken, beef nacho pizza, pretty much everything (now you all know why we enjoyed). Ah, the steak could use a lil improvement, but it's okay. So there. Please try this place. It's really good.

Their choices of Pizza is a must try.. We had cheese pizza which was really good and tasty then we tried their carbonarry.. Lacking some taste I should say butthe size and serving is generous. Coffee is ok..I ordered caramel it was OK..nothing special about it actually. What I love is the place, the clean set up.. Lighting and ambiace

Driving along Examiner daily, Cafe Dominique is eye catching amidst the array of car washes and houses along Examiner. I went to Cafe Dominique on its soft opening to try their dessert and brewed coffee. Their restaurant is filled with natural light, evoking a homey, country feel. Since its on its soft opening, wifi is not available but eventually it will be set up soon. They have a lot of power outlets but I must say the cafe is geared more towards enjoying a meal with friends than a work place as most of the time (between 4 to 8pm) the place is quite filled with friends and families enjoying a good conversation than 'workers'. You must try their Smores dessert, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. But it took a while for our order to arrive, understandable at that time. I can't wait to return with its full menu.
If you are in the mood for:
1. Good conversation with a friend that you haven't seen for a while. If you need conversation starters, the resto is across a pet grooming service. Cute dogs are always a good replacement for a lull in the conversation.
2. Need a place to just chill and hang out
3. On a first date but on a budget
This is a good place to go to.
I've been to Cafe Dominique a few times already. The first time I came there, I ordered their Twice-Cooked Pork Belly! The pork is so soft, and I love how juicy it is. Me and my friends also tried their Beef Nacho Pizza, it's like a 2-in-1 combo, which makes it worth buying. But so far, their Hickory Burger is my favorite, because it's bursting with flavor! Especially the cheese. I must say, that at first I felt that the restaurant was a little bit pricey for me, but I was quite surprised after I saw how big their servings are. So it's a win-win situation. Can't wait to try more of their dishes, will definitely come back!

I liked Cafe Dominique due to its spacious and minimalist interior. Plus, their menu are filled with familiar food that is sure to delight. What I was able to try were the following:
1) Oreo milkshake - For just PhP 105, their milkshake is really creamy and they use real Oreos.
2) Fried mozzarella puffs - This does not only look instagram-worthy, but also tastes great. They didn't scrimp on mozzarella cheese as it was oozing with goodness.
3) Creamy Four Cheese - This takes a while to be served, but it's totally understandable since it's homemade. We finished this entire pizza in just minutes. It's great!
Just a side note, my friends were the one who ordered our snacks. It turned out they all love cheese. Hence, I can only review their cheese based food.
Here are some tips on dining here.1) As the restaurant has just recently opened, make sure to bring cash since they still don't have a credit/ debit card swiper.
2) If you want to hit two birds with one stone specifically have your furry baby (dog) and spend a quality time with your loved ones over a meal, this is the perfect restaurant. You can drop off your dog at the Dog Spa just right across the restaurant and have a good meal.
3) Make sure to talk softer because there is a high chance that others may hear your conversation due to the acoustics of the restaurant.
I still can't make a conclusion for this restaurant since I still haven't eaten their main courses. However, I give them a 4.5 for my experience, the price of their food and the food I've tried. We'll definitely return here to do a blog post on this restaurant.

Just REASONABLE food, travel & etc.
Interiors have such a satisfyingly clean feel, easily the best part. Cafe Dominique is young so there is some refining to do like I hoped my chicken was a bit more moist (minor). Will be back to try the rest!

Didn't see this restaurant until I accidentally drove to Examiner St. one time. The restaurant is bright and spacious, a perfect place to meet and study, or a place to eat good food.
Since they are just newly opened, the menu is limited, but food is delicious. We ordered Baked Mussels Overload, Carbonara Benedict, and Twice-Cooked Pork Belly. We are very happy because everything tasted above expectations. The mussels are cheesy and perfectly cooked. I love the carbonara the best. It was creamy, eggy, and filling. The twice-cooked pork has really crunchy skin and tender meat.
Overall, food is great and would love to come back.
