My wife and I tried this place out since their pitch of 'organic' food has piqued our interest, as well as its humble location along a road in a residential district.
It was around 8pm when we arrived so there was only one couple who was dining when we arrived. We were welcomed warmly by the server and guided us to the table near the windows.
The area is large enough to accommodate an event/forum but during our visit, I found the ambience sad because there aren't much people who dine at that time, but at the same time relaxing because it felt like we were in a fine dining establishment.
We ordered spinach soup, malunggay soup, super pork bagnet, chicken cordon bleu, green mango ensalada, and papaya juice.
The spinach soup was appetizing, as it had a certain light sweetness. The malunggay soup was thick, had a very organic taste. The bagnet looked intimidating but is actually light to bite. The skin was crispy but the meat was tender. Chicken cordon bleu had veggies mixed with it so it's a good twist. Green mango ensalada had a harmonic flavor, with a thick bagoong paste (which can be difficult to mix with the veggies). Papaya juice felt like papaya shake but tastes fine nonetheless.
A bit on the pricey side, but I think that is justified by the quality of ingredients. We wanted to try their other dishes but probably on another time.
Recommending this place for occasional dining.
Gising-gising & Adobong Pusit is 💯💯 This place is clean and the food is affordable. Would come back again for sure. Also the staff were friendly and attentive!
We dined here thrice, we were satisfied sa una at pangalawang visit. Kaso nung pangatlo since we just ordered their executive lunch and avocado shake, so flop talaga their exec lunch - the oregano-rosemary braised pork, jusko Walang lasa we really regret of what we ordered. Pero I will rate 4 star pa din since nasatisfied naman kase sa una at pangalawang visit namin - though not avail nga lang yung crispy pata when we dined there for the 2nd time so we opted for a crispy maskara instead.
Good food for an affordable price. We ordered their executive lunch which comes with a soup and a glass of iced tea. They also have big servings. The veggies even the pork taste fresh as they get their produce straight from their farm in Bulacan. The staff were friendly and attentive as well. Just one thing to watch out for would be their serving time. We waited for quite some time before our orders were served probably because they have a lot of customers during that night.
We ordered:
Mushroom Baked Fish Fillet php300 5/5
Oregano Rosemary Braised Pork with Mushroom php290 4/5
Gising gising 280 4/5
Sorbetes solo (Macapuno flavored) php70 5/5
Will definitely go back! 👍👍👍

This is a relatively new restaurant along Road 1, less than a kilometer from the corner of Visayas Avenue. The place is spacious, clean, orderly, and has ample parking outside & at the basement. The owner, Mr Rolando, was there during our dinner (12.03.18) and was very kind and friendly as he moved around the diners to politely check our dining experience. Food is truly very delicious as if having the best homemade meal ever. Servings are generous and presentations are simple but elegant. We tried the Sinigang sa Miso na Salmon Head that was served in a large bowl, good enough for 3 people; Pritong Okoy using melt-in-your mouth Alamang rather than ‘hipon na nakakatusok’; we would have tried ‘Maskara’ (deep fried pork face:) but preparation was rather long (we’ll try this next time; btw, the pork is called ‘super pork’ - find out for yourself & be amazed). Mr Rolando is an accomplished Environmental Engineer with passion for farming & agriculture, thus, at least 70% of the restaurant’s ingredients are supplied by his farm (que: ‘farm to table’). I can see this place as a ‘venue’, a family restaurant, a foodie’s place, a retreat during off-hours: a place where food can be truly enjoyed. I’d have given this a ‘5’ but I’m reserving that for our next visit - which should be soon. Highly recommended! .e.

From healthy food to homey ambiance; THIS IS HOW I DESCRIBE THIS GOOD FIND RESTAURANT AT PROJ. 6, Q.C.. Upon entering, one will feel the warmth accomodation as all the attendants welcome you with a smile. The place is so clean and the white walls in spacious area give you a feel of the healthy clean food awaiting. The foods are really indeed delish. No salt, no preservatives; everything is cooked meticulously detailed to make it hearty. The photos uploaded are what i ordered that i highly recommend. The baboy ramo bagnet is crispy that a knife easily cuts through even on the fat part; the adobo squid is flavorful less.fishy; the laing is sweet, creamy, and not too spicy - very balanced; the chicken is crunchy, and well caramelized; and the kare-kare is irresistable; all ingredients therewith are a delight. For me, they are all 5 stars rated in deilghtness. I would like to commend sir alfredo who welcomed us hospitably. I also admire the owner himself sir rolando for taking time out to have a chit-chat with us. Mr. Rolando is so kind, and very down to earth that having a conversation with him is never a dull moment. I enjoyed knowing how he conceptualizes the resto, and what he plans to make it even better. And so i can say that this resto is indeed living to its name: rolando's restaurant from HIS farm to table and TOO CLOSE TO HOME figuratively.speaking.

From just seeing the outside, and from the staff helping my grandfather up the stairs I knew that this deserves a 5-star rating.
The inside is VERY spacious. And as we talked with the owner after our meal, we discovered that he himself designed his own restaurant, majoring in civil engineering, I really loved the ambiance. This is fit for large events like debuts, marriage, etc.
Next, the food is highly superb. Served quickly and no delays. This is the best Filipino cuisine I've ever tried. According to the owner, all are organic and ingrediets from their farm (even the meat/fish) and they do not use flavorings. They are cooked fully in an organic way. My personal favorite is the bagnet, adobong pusit and laing. Perfect balancing of flavors with uniqueness. Especially that laing has only a light spice and evident creaminess that harmonized perfectly.
Would definitely recommend this for healthy eaters out there, also to Filipino-cuisine lovers. The owner's own story is so inspiring too, I feel like when we were dining here, we were living out the owner's story and his dreams. Thank you for the great experience Rolando's Farm to Table Restaurant!

Healthy meals are getting popular nowadays. There are a lot of people who are becoming aware on the importance of eating healthy. Because of this, restaurant owners find ways to incorporate new dishes for a positive lifestyle and for health buffs to enjoy their meal. Good thing Rolando's Farm to Table is here to help us with healthy food choices.
Rolando's Farm to Table is a new restaurant in Visayas Ave. It's a restaurant that is family friendly since it's a family owned restaurant. The owners of this restaurant gets their produce from their farm in Bulacan. All of their ingredients are made from scratch & done with love and joy to serve their customers.
Every time we leave the office, we tend to pass by this restaurant. My mom and I got curious because it was unusual for a big restaurant to be placed in a residential area. It was also enticing to see due to its minimalist approach of design. Because of this, we decided to hold our company anniversary celebration in this restaurant.
To start off, we ordered the Ensaladang Mangga (150php). This consists of diced green mangoes, tomatoes & sauteed shrimp paste. I didn't bother eating the Ensaladang Mangga. Instead, I decided to get the Seafood Chowder Soup (170php). It consists of assorted seafood with diced potatoes & thick and creamy soup. I found their seafood chowder to be just right. I was expecting it to be more creamier.
For the main course, it started off with Sugpo sa Bawang (620php). It's prawns cooked with margarine and garlic. I like the fact how the sauce complemented the prawns.
Next is the Super Pork Bagnet (270php). It's your usual bagnet with a side dish. Among all of the foods that were served that night, this would be my favorite. I like how crispy the outer layer is and how juicy the inner layer is. It suddenly reminded me of La Union since La Union is known for their bagnet.
The Super Pork Kare-Kare (560php) consists of stewed pork shanks & generous amount of vegetables in thick peanut based sauce served with bagoong. What I love about this dish is how creamy and thick their sauce is. Their pork shanks, I believe, needs more attention to it.
Their Chicken Galantina (380php) consists of creamy stuffed chicken, deboned and steamed. It was alright with me. If I were to choose if I should order or not again, I don't find it reasonable for this to be ordered again.
For the dessert, we ordered the ff: Buko Pandan w/ Macapuno, Suman Kamoteng Kahoy and Halo-Halo. I asked our other officemates what they liked best since I wasn't able to eat. I was full already. They said they would have to go for the Buko Pandan. In regards to Halo-Halo, it lacked this "oomph" taste.
In regards to their service, it was splendid. Their staffs made sure to put a smile on their face. They made their customers feel at home. Although they had great staff, they should improve on their payment terms. When we went here, we had no choice but to pay in cash because their credit card system wasn't working that time. It became a hassle for us.
I am still giving Rolando's a chance because I'm sure there are other dishes of theirs I would enjoy and recommend to other people.
A bit on the rocket side but...
1. Ambience is nice. Since it's pretty quiet must be because it's a fairly new restaurant. If you want a quiet place to eat with not a lot of people and noise this is the place you can go to with your family friends and loved ones.
2. Food tastes fresh. Not too strong but not bland either. Just enough. Must try the omelette and the Paco salad and crepes. Will try the other filipino staples next time.
3. Service is good. Staff is very polite from the waiters to the security
Place is also very good for big gatherings.
For fresh and authentic Filipino cuisine, I suggest visiting the heart of Quezon City specifically Road 1 corner Road 33, Project 6. There you will find a beautiful and 100% compliant green building called Florville housing a farm to table restaurant called Rolando’s. Farm to Table Restaurant. Rolando’s Farm to Table Restaurant is indeed an oasis in the midst of the city. Why? Well, there may be cafes and restaurants in the area but food parks still dominate. Set a few meters away from the nearest food park, Rolando’s is able to offer it’s guests a hassle-free dining experience.
Nowadays, it’s hard to find delicious food with organic ingredients. When we say organic, the food is actually free of artificial additives, and processed with fewer artificial methods. Here in Quezon City, we are lucky to discover a farm-to-table restaurant called “Rolando’s”.
For one, Rolando's scores high in terms of ambiance. The place is huge, spacious, airy and well-lit. We ordered just three dishes, namely lechon sisig, pako salad and the banana mango crepe. Their lechon sisig was friendly to the palate. It was neither too overpowering nor pungent. However, personally it lacked a certain oomph. It was too tame for sisig. I expected actually a bit more dimension or flavor. The pako salad on one hand was well presented but it was dry. The leaves seem to have been left in the pantry to dehydrate. Unlike other pako salads, this one lacks moisture. The banana mango crepe on one hand was done right, it was creamy and filled with fruits without being sweet. Service here was good- topnotch. Their restroom, my barometer of cleanliness was squeaky clean.
However I think they could do a bit more in terms of flavor, to let diners remember what Rolando's is all about.
Rolando’s Farm to Table embodies the true definition of “family restaurant” as it is family owned and caters to families, community and social events of all kinds. Brainchild of the civil and environmental engineer, Rolando Mangulaban conceptualized his restaurant to be the first environmentally friendly oasis from the busy pop-ups and food parks of Visayas Avenue; the facility is equipped with solar panels and water conserving systems saving rain water in a cistern which is used to help grow their herbs via aquaponics. To top it off, all of their kitchen’s byproducts are used as fertilizer. [Read More]
This ambiance of the place is very classy when you enter their restaurant. The crew are going to greet you once you enter. They're all very friendly and accommodating in this restaurant.
The restaurant has big space and they have a lot of parking space so there's no problem on finding one. This restaurant is semi-fine dining. I liked the set up of their table.
Their food tastes good and have a generous serving. All of their food are probably good for 3-4 persons per serving. My favorite here is the Sinampalukang Manok because the chicken that they're using is native. The taste of is really good, I liked the sour taste of this dish. All of the food that we ordered are cooked perfectly.
When it comes to their service, it's okay but you have to wait for a long while for your food to be served.
More and more people are being aware and open to the concept of healthy eating. Over time, as people's taste for food evolves, restaurateurs have no way to go but to follow. While not many cater to this demand, the emergence of several healthier alternatives, such as restaurants offering Vegan or organic items, does not go unnoticed.

I was invited by Midz to join her to dine in Rolando's Farm to Table Restaurant in Project 6 Quezon City.
THE PLACE:
Rolando's Farm to Table Restaurant was named to the rightful owner, Rolando. According to Marifel, the daughter of the owner and CEO of Rolando's, the reason they established the restaurant because they have a farm in Bulacan, where most or all of the resources will be coming from the farm.
Rolando's Farm to Table Restaurant offer organic dishes. Yes, it is a farm to table restaurant.
Honestly, I am expecting a small size restaurant. Surprisingly, it is a 3-storey building with huge, bright and spacious restaurant in the ground floor. It has conference room for business meeting and open kitchen where you can see the preparation of what you order. They also have separate comfort room for male and female. They also have function hall in the second floor. It can occupy up to 200 pax. The roof deck in the third floor can also be used for BBQ party or you can set up on you own.

TA huuuge place perfect for events and family gatherings. Settled amidst a quiet stretch of town, Rolando's Farm to Table Restaurant has a cozy, home-y feel.
We were lucky enough to try them out at their dinner service. Though still in soft opening, so many guests flocked to it. Even had the chance to meet the geniuses behind the place!
Food has decent pricing and each order serves two to three people. Make sure to try their Lemongrass tea, and Beef Salpicao! Yummy!
Will be sure to come back with friends and family. Especially since they have Tues-duck promo! 😁😁
