The elegance and Filipino-Spanish charm are displayed in the interior elements of the restaurant, Café Juanita. This refined place serves wonderfully creative dishes, which is a unique mix of cuisines and offers service that is professional and attentive. Illuminated only by soft lighting, the restaurant might just be owned by a gypsy. It had several items like lamps that are up for sale –some looked antique. The distinct pieces feel like it has heritage.
There is not one dish yet that I’ve tried in Café Juanita that I did not love. It is one of the top three Filipino restaurants that I’d go to in a heartbeat. They use combinations of ingredients that complement each other and open the senses to something new and magical.
Beef Rendang (PHP232++) like I’ve never had it before. The tender beef cubes had crispy beef strips garnishing similar to adobo flakes, which are popular now. It wasn’t saucy as you would expect the dish to be, but the entire coconut curry flavor is in the meat itself.
Pork Binagoongan (PHP152++) took a different image too. It was served with Binagoongan rice and the pork wasn’t overly basted in Binagoong.
Catfish with Mango Salad (PHP242++) is small in serving but beautifully prepares your palate before your ordered entrées.
Sunday Filipino brunch buffet is also offered at PHP395 +5% service charge from 11am-230pm.
There is an original twist to their creations and the taste leaves your mouth asking for more.
