I just moved the BGC from Makati so I wanted to find a cozy breakfast place... I found it at Larry's Cafe. The staff were super friendly, I love that big red sofa seat and the coziness of the place. My cappuccino was huge (big thumbs up), the food was delish and the price was good.
Cozy environment and friendly staff. We only had coffee and dessert the first we visited the place but we were treated with importance. The ambient was so hospitable. Has become one of my favorite hang out place with my family.
Lengua estofado is a must! Love their tenderloin steak too and the chia dessert. Enjoyed a quiet and meaningful bonding over good steak and wine. The staff are polite and respectful no bad vibes in this place.
Having breakfast at Larrys is like have breakfast at home. A very friendly crew like mark, rain. Kris , at si chef !!!
We eat here, or order from here, on a regular basis. It’s comfort food that is always good. The staff are friendly and it’s nice that they remember you.
What I most appreciate about Larry's Bar is they made my labrador, Mayumi, and I feel truly welcome. The first thing our server did was to fill a proper doggie bowl with fresh water and ice cubes which Yumi eagerly lapped up. The signature Larry's Burger is always a treat but it was an extra-special experience to share it with my birthday girl, Mayumi. Thanks, Larry's Bar, for making Mayumi's birthday merienda so special.
Dining at Larry’s Cafe and Bar is always satisfying... good food, good service and nice ambience. I make sure I dine here whenever I am in the area...
Good fud...kind staff...nice to be back ...the prize is good....very cozy place...
One of the best cafe I've been in. The servers are welcoming and the food is great.
We love to dine here. Me and my partner are satisfied with their service. They always checked and asked you about how the food is. And the food is really delicious...
When I want calmness and good food, Larry's is still the best place for me... �
I've been a frequent customer in Larry's and others from the LJC Group. Aside from the great food and ambience, I love the customer service, they are so accommodating. Plus, really pet-friendly, even offered water bowl for our dog. 5 stars!
My buddy and i tried sisha and a couple of drinks on this place, Because we're stuck in a heavy rain. Since we're a first timer, I didn't expect much on the service that this place provide, And surprisingly i was amazed on this guy named 'IVAN' He was very accommodating, Pleasant and has all the initiative on our needs. Such a good place and good service, Keep it up.
Delectables dishes. Cozy and warm ambiance. Accomodating staff. Good service. Overall perfect.

Love the caesar salad and the beef teriyaki,and also the food presentation was nice.Wide choices to choose from,food and also drinks.
I ordered the Rosemary Chicken for lunch and ate every bit of it as it was so delicious. Perfectly seasoned, moist and juicy, and paired with a flavorful sauce and some side vegetables. Nothing was left on my plate, it was that good. I had a refreshing Dalandan juice to go with the meal. The ambiance is cozy and the service very attentive. I had just woken up from a jet-lagged nap and forgotten my credit card at Seda Hotel, which is across the street from Serendra, so I just left a cash deposit and promised the waitress that I'd come back to pay the remainder on the bill and she made no fuss about it. "No problem, maam." - with a smile. I love this restaurant and will come back today to try their highly-rated lengua estofado.
Staff are all accommodating and respectful
Best resto I've tried so far around Serendra. A bit pricey but you get your money's worth. Our total bill was almost 700 which is surprising considering that we have a full plate and it taste delicious even the vinegar is quite exquisite too, compliments everything. Although, the 'Chocolate Ah' is a bit meh. Not sure if it's too foamy or what but it's not really the chocolate drink we knew (BF said 'Chocolate Eh' is much better). P.S. Their spoon is comparable to a serving spoon lol.
Absolutely loved the food and the ambience. Would definitely go back. The Chicken Scaloppini was stunning with delicate flavors and the crunchy fries. I was famished by the time I reached the restaurant so ordered and ate very quickly. The service is great too which is a big plus.
Outstanding service and quality food! They were able to accommodate a large group and had no difficulty handling our split bills. Definitely a place worth going back to.
Hi All,
It has been long time since I have written any review. Been to so many restaurants during this time.
Now let’s me be little active again. I visited this place on 20 Jan 2019. Ordered vegetarian samosa, snakes and hummus. I must say away from India the samosa very delicious. Shakes and hummus were also good. The best part was the services the team was supportable and ready to help in selection based on my choices. All an all I recommend this place. Thanks You.
Larry is another member of the JLC group serving Continental comfort food. Similar to their other restaurants, the décor and feel of the place is very comfortable.
We came here for breakfast, as it's one of the first restaurants that open early in Serendra.
What to Order:
Tuyo Cravers Choice
A heap of garlic rice with egg and tuyo in olive oil.
English Bangers Bacon and Egg
The classic English breakfast with pork and beans, sausage, bacon and eggs.
Tapang Baka
Tender pieces on savory beef served with garlic rice and two sunny up side eggs.
Great place to visit, especially if you all want different kinds of breakfasts. Prices are affordable and serving sizes are fine. Service is also quite good.
We super love the Cappuccino & Eiscafé here , just the way my Husband Love the taste ..Quite place and super friendly people working here .will come back again 👍
Larry's Cafe was not our first option. We wanted to have pizza and pasta in the restaurant beside it, but we were waiting already for quite too long. Hence, we decided to celebrate the birthday in this restaurant.
Although it was a second option, it didn't feel as such. The ambiance was cozy -- perfect for an intimate night of celebration. The food may not be as exquisite, but it was convincingly good. Perhaps they can improve more on the textures (such as the tenderness of the calamares we ordered as well as the pan-seared salmlon).
Price-wise, it was reasonable especially putting into consideration the ambiance and the hands-on service.
Why not 5 stars?
Well, everything really run smoothly, but I just think the dishes can further improve to level up the experience to a 5-star feel.
Food recommendations:
Spaghetti Al Pesto (P285), Red-sauce Penne (P295), Rosemary Chicken (P395)

Tried their new menu for this month
Salade Sante. Roasted Beetroot and pumpkin, feta cheese, assorted greens; served with a light vinaigrette sauce.
Mahi-Mahi Fillet Pacifica. Fillet of dorado fish on a bed of squid ink spaghetti with red bell pepper cream sauce. It was a good fusion, but I can only finish the fish. or maybe the sauce is lacking something for me.
Salade Sante. Roasted Beetroot and pumpkin, feta cheese, assorted greens; served with a light vinaigrette sauce.
Mahi-Mahi Fillet Pacifica. Fillet of dorado fish on a bed of squid ink spaghetti with red bell pepper cream sauce
Great place to dine and spend quality time with your special someone. Background music and atmosphere is very cozy. Foods are well prepared.
This September, LJC Group celebrates Larry J. Cruz' birthday and they features LJC Festival of Flavors in which they will bring in 2 new dishes on all their 9 restaurants.
Mahi-Mahi Fillet Pacifica– fillet of dorado fish on a bed of squid ink spaghetti with red bell pepper cream sauce. This is by far my favorite dish of all the new dishes. The firm pasta and its squid ink was on point.
Salad Santé – roasted beetroot and pumpkin, feta cheese, assorted greens; served with a light vinaigrette sauce. The roasted beetroot and pumpkin were really tasty. There’s this smoky flavor in it that makes it really interesting. I also like the vinaigrette sauce as it was not too acidic.
The Good to Dine Campaign is a fundraising project for the benefit of the Cancer Institute of the Philippine General Hospital, through the Andres Soriano Foundation Inc. This campaign aims to help and they will donate Php10 of the price of every featured dish or drinks ordered within the campaign period.
LJC Restaurants Group kicks off the month of September with 3 events to pay tribute to its founder Larry J. Cruz.
The first event , "The Festival of Flavors" pays homage to LJC's love affair with food. Each chef from all restaurants in the group will create 2 dishes in honor of Larry J. Cruz...
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Let me preface this review by expressing my gratitude to the LJC Group, and Zomato for an exclusive invite to feast on some of the dishes (17 dishes in total! 😀) from all of LJC's nine food concepts, some of which are yet to be fully offered on their respective restaurant menus starting this September. ♥️ As for Larry's Cafe, we got to try their Salade Santé, and their Mahi-Mahi Fillet Pacifica. The salad was an interesting mix of roasted beetroot, and pumpkins, feta cheese, assorted and vibrant greens, served with a light vinaigrette. While the Mahi-Mahi Fillet Pacifica, One of the standouts for me, if not my favorite, was a beautiful dish comprised of a fillet of dorado fish on a bed of squid ink spaghetti with red bell pepper cream sauce. 😋👌🏻♥️🦑🍝 Everything about this plate caught my attention; from its name, colors, its plating, and presentation, down to its taste! 😀 The creaminess of the capsicum sauce marries well with the squid ink pasta! It makes everything tastefully subtle, as oppossed to being an over-the-top, "in-your-face" squid ink dish? You know what I mean? It's really good.
Larry’s Cafe Bar is known for its special drinks that serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and in-between snacks. They will now showcase new dishes this September as a tribute to Larry J. Cruz.
Two new main dishes are:
Mahi-mahi Fillet Pacifica- It tastes so good. You should definitely give it a shot! The fish fillet goes pretty well with squid ink spaghetti and red bell pepper cream sauce. All the combination is surprisingly good.
Salade Sante- The taste of assorted greens are delicate and light as what it should be in a vegetables. Roasted Betroot, pumpkin and feta cheese adds a punch that elevates the taste as a whole.
Excited for these truly inspired dishes that showcase the innovative minds of the chefs behind The LJC Group!
✔️ Salade Sante
This salad made from assorted greens with roasted beetroot and pumpkin, crumbled feta cheese; and served with a light vinaigrette sauce. This was so refreshing and really pumps your appetite for that lunch or dinner. The roasted flavor of the beetroot, combined with walnuts provides a great contrast to the feta cheese and light vinaigrette.
✔️ Mahi-Mahi Fillet Pacifica
What really makes this dish special is that rich creamy bell pepper cream sauce with its layers and layers of flavors that quietly complement the perfect cook of the dorado fillet, and the al dente squid ink pasta.
Experience these new offerings from Larry's Cafe & Bar starting Sep 5 2018 in celebration of LJC Month!

Larry's Cafe and Bar

At Larry's Cafe & Bar, the Mahi-Mahi Fillet Pacifica and Salad Sante will be added to their menu.
MAHI-MAHI FILLET PACIFICA
(Fillet of dorado fish on a bed of squid ink spaghetti with red bell pepper cream sauce)
PHP 495
This dish is a whole new experience for me.
Squid ink spaghetti tasted like squid and is black of course haha, I like it! The fish is firm and tasty together with the red bell pepper cream sauce. The combination of flavors are awesome, though I would like it better if its a little spicy.
I find it a little pricey for the serving size, but the taste is so good!
Taste: 4/5
Serving Size: 3/5
Price: 3/5
SALADE SANTE
(Roasted beetroot and pumpkin, feta cheese, assorted greens, served with light vinaigrette sauce)
PHP 295
This is another unusual dish for me, betroot and pumpkin in a salad??? first time to have this kind of salad! I like the blend of vinegrette sauce drizzled to this salad plus the walnut and feta cheese that comes with it. Refreshing flavors, thumbs up!
Taste: 3.5/5
Serving size : 4/5
Price: 3.5/5
So get yourselves going! come and dine to Larry's cafe and find fusion of flavors ...
The place is nice and clean. Servers were very fast and attentive, so was the manager, who was also serving instead of just standing around watching over the wait staff. Our orders came out fast, as in 5 minutes after we placed our order (I think... at least that's how I felt... 😁). As soon as you are seated, you'll be handed the Breakfast menu if you come in early (I came around 8am), but the regular menu (as in lunch and dinner menu) is already available. You just have to tell them that you want to order from the other menu. (Which I absolutely love in a place) The food was great. I loved everything that we ordered. Making me want to try everything in their menu. I tried to take decent photos of our order 😂. You can park your car at the basement and at the time the fee is 45pesos for the first three hours. More than enough time to dine and take a walk around the place unless you're planning to cross to High Street, then you'll have to Sprint 😂.
We paid a total of 1160 for a spicy chicken salad, 2 cups of americano, a tall glass of milkshake and a plate of pork and mashed potato. The ambience was quite ok and very coducive for TALKING. The food was ok. I had a salad and the taste was fine. I will definitely come back for the ambience.
Everythings here is great! From food to staffs.
For food, you should try their teriyaki beef tenderloin, it’s so delicious. Also the US beef tenderloin steak. My mom and dad enjoyed it, who’re both fan of steaks.
And for the price, it’s really affordable for such a very good steak.
We would probably go back here.
Excellent service, warm and friendly waiters, and okay wine service made for a good experience.
We wanted to enjoy the afternoon with some wine and conversation, and ended up here at Larry's. The waiters were very nice and accommodating, answering my questions and requests nicely. They were attentive enough to notice when our glasses were empty and were quick to refill them with wine or with water. As for the wine, it was all right, but not my type. It's a good, fresh, easy-to-drink wine for those who like their vinos sweet, simple, and very fruity (heavy berry notes) without much tannin and acidity in the mouth.
This restaurant os good for group dining. I like bringing my project teams here and eat family-style! I personally will recommend the Lebgua Estufado!

I stumbled upon Larry's by accident. I was initially walking around Serendra, trying to find Single Origin because one of my colleagues recommended it to me, only to find myself asking guards and getting lost. Because I was getting hungry, I went inside the first place I saw that served breakfast, which was Larry's.
Upon entering the restaurant and being seated in one of the tables, I noticed that this place has a lot of regular clientele. I overheard some of the customers, upon leaving the restaurant, bidding the waiters "See you tomorrow." and "Same time ulit bukas." I have high respect for restaurants who draw new customers in, but at the same time, keeping and taking care of their regulars, so I had high expectations.
I asked for their breakfast specialties, which are mostly rice meals, but since I didn't want to eat rice today, I ordered their English Bangers and Beans breakfast, as well as Chocolate-Ah~ which is a chocolate drink just for 99 pesos. Food taste, I really liked the chocolate drink, it is not watery, and doesn't taste like the ones coming out in powdered form. Its chocolate taste is really smooth, and thick like tablea, which I really like. As for the breakfast, it's okay. Nothing special.
My high ratings usually account for service. I believe that restaurants who have great service should be recognized for having employees that are dedicated to their job. When I was seated in one of the tables, I really appreciate the waiter moving me to a table near the window despite it having 4 chairs (and me being 1). I didn't request for it, but the waiter must've observed that I was staring out the window (because I tend to people-watch all the time,) and so he asked me if I wanted to transfer to the seat near the window. I appreciate the gesture. The staff are super friendly too, which makes perfect sense, that they are able to keep their regulars. I'm super happy I accidentally found this place. Will definitely come back for their rice specialties.
Would've rated this a 4.5 if the app permits! Sadly, the feature is gone. 😂

An impromptu meeting with a future client by the hubby led us to Larry's. After some chitchat on what is expected from each other, we ordered a light meal. I had Penne Caprese (Php 280), which the boyfie shared with me. The taste was pretty authentic, loved too that the basil leaves were huge which I gobbled unapologetically. The staff were very attentive too.
I've been curious about this place for a long time and finally I got to try it here. Went here morning after my HIIT workout and thank God I did. I ordered the Hefty Bon Appetit! because of the English bangers, hashbrowns and mushrooms and it was indeed heaven in my mouth. I was surprised of the mushrooms, it tastes really otherwordly and I don't know how to describe it lol. I really never thought I'd be a fan tbh. The english bangers I've been wanting to try for so long and they taste weird in a good way, must be the foreign spices. The meal is quite filling and satisfactory, I will definitely come back :).
Food - 4 (adobo flakes, salmon dishes, mushroom pasta, aglio olio, and salpicao)
Ambiance - 3.5 a bit dark
Service 4.5 - fast, efficient, professional
They also do home deliveries :)
Worth the money. Excellent service. A great place to hang out and chill. They always remember what you like to order. Defenitely a great place to have breakfast after a run in BGC.
Larry's Cafe & Bar or just plain Larry's is an "old" classy resto-bar type of a set-up that reminds you of jazzy watering holes from back in the heydays.
This looks like a joint the titos of Manila used to go to and it's cool that this cafe-bar still has its loyal clientele.
For the LJC Festival of Flavors, try Larry's Chia Pudding with Fruits, superfood chia seeds are prepared as a pudding then topped with fresh fruits like dragon fruit, rambutan and mangoes then with pumpkin seeds. Chia seeds are a good source of fiber, protein, potassium and polyunsaturated fats (Omega-3 fatty acids, the good healthy fat!).
The LJC Group of Restaurants launches 3" news dishes for The LJC Festival of Flavors as a tribute to the founder behind the success of Cafe Adriatico, Bistro Remedios, Cafe Havana, Fely J's Kitchen, Abe, Lorenzo's Way, Polka Dot and Larry's Cafe & Bar, LARRY J. CRUZ.
🍮Chia Pudding with Fruits (Superfood chia seeds topped with dragon fruits, rambutan and pumpkin seeds) - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
"The flavor was so lite and taste really good."
#ilovetoeatph 😃❤️
TENDERLOIN STEAK WITH GRAPES
What can I say but, Tenderloin is Tender😁. The wine and grape sauce gives it a more full bodied flavor while the Potato Au Gratin and Vegetables balances the meal.
Had lunch here with my family, since Abe was full. Turned out to be a good choice! Tried their two mushroom pasta with truffle oil, hummus, and taco salad. They were pretty good. My sister enjoyed the Larry's burger and beef salpicao.
Best part was the service. The servers are really accommodating, gracious, and friendly. For our taco salad, my mom considered not ordering since the sauce was a bit spicy (wasn't for me though haha), but our server offered to give an additional non-spicy dressing for her.
The food is a bit on the pricier side and some dishes (particularly the appetizers) had pretty small servings. The food was cooked very well though.
Larry's review:
Ambiance: 3/5, old restaurant, gloomy inside. Needs renovation.
Food:3/5, food was just ok, the price of the food didnt match with the serving size. 😭 pricey.
5/5, grape shake!
Staffs: 5/5, great service.
Great food and ambiance! Very friendly and attentive staffs! Had our 1st monthsary here. 😍😍😍 it became one of our memorable places. Fine dining and it is understandable that they have overprice food choices. 😊😊😊
Larry's is my favorite breakfast place. Service and food always good. The waiters and waitresses are the best. My favorite to order are danggit and pancakes.
FOOD
.:Rosemary Chicken:.
It was pretty good. It's been awhile since I went here but I remember it's cooked and flavored well.
.:Beef Ravioli:.
Loved this. Problem is, I had to share it. One of the reasons why I don't order raviolis that much. 😂
DRINK
.:San Miguel Cerveza Negra:.
Always love it when this is available. 😍
LOCATION
Honestly, it's a bit too "cozy" for me. If I was on a date, it's fine. 😅
The interior is not very pleasant as some of the booths have peeling leather on the seats, which makes it uncomfortable to sit on. I do like to come here and order the beef tapa and orange juice for breakfast sometimes.
A hearty meal called Hefty Almusal (includes Garlic Rice, 2 Eggs, Tocino, Corned Beef and 6pcs of Danggit) for a person who crave a Filipino food for the price of 355php. Not bad! 👍🏼
Nothing special but servings were really big. So it was perfect as our choice of restaurant for my friends despedida brunch. We had an overload of eggs during that meal. Because as you order one dish, you will be asked if you want one or two eggs with it. No additional payment if you want two eggs.
I don't have recommendations on what you should order for breakfast. Like I said, nothing special.
I love their food :) There service is excellent! Ill go back here. One of the few retaurants in Serendra that serves quality food! Better try it. 👌🏻
Two words. Lengua Estofado. I shall be back for this! Service is excellent. Ambience chill and ideal for conversation. Thai Salad is a must try. Avocado bliss and mais con yelo just okay.

Located at the ground floor of Serendra, lies this restaurant/cafe where I visualize the Tita's of Manila having a weekend chat over tea or coffee. Yes, from the red couch, to some dark wood finishings on the wall, I see the ambiance is best fit for the Titas/Titos of Manila (if you get what I mean). Although I dont consider myself to be a part of that yet, I found myself working here on a hot Friday afternoon. After having lunch at a nearby Vietnamese place, this was the nearest cafe where my feet took me. Again, it was too hot outside so I didnt want to walk further down Bonifacio High Street. I initially had their Italian Slow Roast Cappuccino. After getting things done, I got quite hungry and wanted something light to eat so I ordered their Salmon Ceasar Salad. Greens were crisp, salmon was fresh. I love it. Come late afternoon, I had a cup of white chocolate mocha and it was perfect. Those three things I had were recipes to get work done fast. Service was great too. Staff were attentive and very efficient. The place is a little dark during the day, I think its prettier at night time. Will be back to try out more of their food next time.
Larry's is among the many but few restaurants that serves quality food in Serendra. It can get crowded in this area, you won't miss it, but you have to be patient with people walking by trying to find a place to eat or have a little snack, relax and chill. We came upon Larry's which at the time was perfect, good lighting, good space, not too packed or loud so that me and my partner could hear each other and talk. The food is great! I tried Rosemary Chicken and it was tasty, tender and juicy. I can't remember what my boyfriend ordered but it was good too. :)
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Was invited for a business meeting with a good business friend. My first time but this is his regular office place. :)
Anyway we ended up ordering some drinks and coffee which I didn't take pics of except for my freshly made apple juice which was yummy. As for snacks we also tried some special hummus with nice warm pita bread. Hummus was very well made so totally recommend this. As this was a very late business meeting we just had some light however will be back here again to try out their main meals and other awesome food in the menu.
2nd Visit
Had to come here again as had a great experience here so this wanted to eat some meals. Ended up ordering a pasta and burger combo with a business friend. We ordered the Penne Caprese - fresh tomato, mozzarella and basil leaves. This was very healthy and as very delicious. The cream sauce was just perfect with the main ingredients.
The burger was the Bacon and Mushroom Melt Burger - bacon rashers with button mushroom and heaps of mozzarella cheese; served with petite salad and fries. Bacon, fries and patty was ok and my favorite is the mozzarella cheese.
Also ordered fresh mango juice which was also my favorite that I had to order another round of the same juice again.
Oh by the way wifi is really good and fast here as compared to many other venue so actually love coming here to do work! :)
Me and fiancee love to dine in places where we can chat without having to shout at each other. We also love restaurants that offer more than steaks and the common entrees. Larry's is one of those restaurants where you can have good food with a great ambience.
Tapa is staple breakfast for me. Decided to be adventurous and tried Shredded adobe. Was not disappointed. Wife order the eggs Benedict and found the muffin hard though.
Comfort food, all day breakfast, great coffee, great dessert, great place and great service.... They are not perfect but nearly perfect....
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Larry's offers all day breakfast (believe it or not). I seriously thought that this is a pub, thats why I was so shocked when they're open as early as 7 in the morning. I got there around 9 and the place is packed. I ordered mushroom omelette and i love it! I want to try all their food! So this means, I'll keep going back to Larry's
My highschool friends and I had some cakes and coffee here. I'm not a coffee-fan but their is so good. I'm also not a fan of red velvet cake but it was surprising not bad! Didn't get the "umay" factor.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
We have visited Larry's a few times now and it has never disappointed. The staff are friendly, the service is quick the only disappointing thing is the lack of ambience and the constant drilling and hammering going on in the shop next door. (None of this is any fault of Larry's but it does affect the dining experience).
The breakfast/brunch menu at Larry's is quite extensive and there is definitely something for everyone, whether you are after an international selection or a Filipino favourite.
The eggs benedict are done brilliantly. The eggs are poached perfectly, the hollandaise is thick and creamy, the Canadian ham is not cooked to a crispy tasteless nothing but has just the right amount or texture to compliment the eggs and all this is served exquisitely appealingly. This is probably the best thing in my opinion on Larry's menu.
The Filipino favourites like corned beef and rice or the hefty breakfast (rice, egg, tocino, danggit and corned beef) is extremely filling and is a perfect, tasty start to a weekend day of relaxing or walking around the fort.
For the drinks I would recommend their milkshakes which actually taste like milkshakes and not just flavoured watered down milk. The only issue I got with them is the chocolate chips that they put in the milkshakes that then get stuck in the straw making the straw unusable.
Larry's isn't the cheapest place to grab a bite to eat but it isn't the most expensive either. I feel that the price (roughly 1000php for 2 people for brunch) is adequate for the quality of food and service that is received.
Definitely give Larry's ago.

this restaurant is a nice spot to have some down time with friends or a special someone over tea or coffee. they have a great selection of desserts but i wasn't able to try because i was too full.
the waiter got my order mixed up. i was brought mushroom soup instead of pumpkin soup so i had to wait another 10-15 minutes for my soup. i was almost done with my main course (i got the truffle pasta which was just okay) but my soup had not arrived. honest mistake i guess since they were quite understaffed and the restaurant was full so i'll let that pass. i just did not like how we were served the bill without us even asking for it. i understand they were closing and/or taking last orders but i would appreciate a heads up that they were giving us our bill instead of it just being handed to us out if the blue making it seem like they wanted us to get out of there already.
also, the menu isn't really cohesive. they serve salads, steaks, burgers then all of a sudden, you'll see Japchae on the menu. I guess they're trying to cater to the Korean crowd??
4 stars for the presentation of Eggs Benedict. The greens + orange tomatoes complement not just the color but also the taste of EB. 3.5 stars for the sweet Canadian ham. The eggs deserve 4.25 stars for the right consistency and fullness which makes the EB quite easy to eat with a fork and knife. No over- messy gooey yolks here, well- contained. Solid yet unspectacular muffin base, worth 3.5 stars. Overall 4 stars but could have gotten 4.5 if some pineapple marmalade was added to add zest.
I happened to pass by BGC brunch time and decided to hang out at Larry's Cafe. The place was quiet and relaxing. It's great, for whether you're alone studying, or answering emails with a cup of coffee or meeting with someone. I ordered their Vanilla Milk Shake and Eggs Benedict. That was my first Eggs Benedict ever (so I had nothing prior to compare it with) but my oh my was it good! The bread, smoked bacon, egg and hollandaise sauce just mixed perfectly. I was actually kind of sad when I was down to my last few bites haha. Would love to try out their other menu offers!
I can clearly call Larry's my favourite restaurant in whole of Metro Manila. It has excellent food, excellent ambiance and excellent service. Larry's will leave you with no disappointment. After a hard days work I can totally see myself chilling at Larry's. Another attraction to this restaurant is the hookah. So yeah, it's a brilliant place to catch up with good friends. This place actually has some charm that it automatically relaxes you! Must must visit.
