Gourmet's Cafe - Silang

They offer outdoor breakfast seating and there is parking available.

I visited this restaurant a long time ago, and it's clear that a lot has changed. I really enjoyed the al fresco dining area that welcomes you as you step down the stairs. The wooden tables and chairs gave it a rustic vibe, and the atmosphere made me excited to eat. For our main courses, we ordered the roasted chicken and grilled belly, and I absolutely loved the mushroom soup! There was also a DIY salad bar, where the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our server, Ma Anne, was fantastic! She quickly prepared a dip for our bread. I will definitely be coming back!

Outdoor seating, parking.

I recently enjoyed the best Quattro Formaggi pizza I've had in quite some time—it's made with soft bread and cheese that melts in your mouth. I paired it with their Classic Lemonade, which is a fantastic thirst-quencher; it’s freshly squeezed and has a delightful aroma. I also appreciated the elegant atmosphere of the restaurant, along with the cozy vibe of the café/store. I can't wait to spend more time there on my next visit and try their freshly ground coffee!

I was quite disappointed with my experience. The food was unremarkable overall. The pancakes were overly dry, and the Chicken a la Kiev lacked flavor. The overpriced tuyo and egg dish was certainly not worth the cost. The Alaminos burger was just average, and the civet coffee wasn't good either. The only highlight was the cilantro dip they offered, which is the sole reason for my one-star rating. I recommend trying that if you go. I really wish they had focused more on the taste of the food and the quality of service rather than just presentation. The server seemed inexperienced, almost as if it was their first day on the job, and there were not enough utensils and plates for everyone. The food looked nice, but it felt like they were compensating for the poor flavor with appearance.
