Restaurant Review: Katherine's Cafe (Ayala Center, Makati City, Metro Manila)

 

Katherine's Cafe

Another favorite watering hole of ours in Glorietta is Katherines Café, located at the Landmark end of Glorietta 3. Opened in 2019, it is the second outlet to be opened (the first was in Ayala Malls, Vertis North in Quezon City) and it was still open for dine-in during this pandemic times.  

Pre-pandemic, it used to have a larger area, with a function room at the end, but this was closed off due to quarantine guidelines. 

 

The terrace-like dining area

Still the remaining part of the restaurant’s cheery interior was still brightly decorated, really homey and comfortable with wooden furniture and flooring, floral designs and patterns on couches and benches, plus a number of aesthetic paintings and lighting fixtures. 

Just outside the café is an inviting terrace that gives you a feel of al fresco dining (though still inside the mall) where you can watch shoppers walking by. The café was said to have been named after Katherine, an imaginary little eight-year-old girl who’s delighted by the dishes her grandmother or nana prepares at home.

 

The main dining area

As for the food, we’re happy to see that Katherine’s Cafe  still served up some of our old, good tasting favorite comfort food, both Italian (pasta, flat bread pizza) and Filipino. Do not expect fine dining as it’s as good as a cafe gets. The food portions are just right and the staff is friendly and professional. 

We started our meal with the Classic Caesar Salad with romaine, bacon, croutons, caesar dressing, and parmesan shavings.  Add on includes Grilled Chicken (Php80) and Grilled Prawns (Php125). 

Among all the longganisa flavors in the country, I particularly like the Vigan longganisa and the  crispy Vigan Longganisa I ordered was served with fried egg, garlic fried rice, tomato salsa and pickled vegetables.

 

At the end of the main dining area is the closed off portion of the restaurant

Jandy’s favorite is still the delicious, beautifully golden brown, succulent and crunchy Cereal Fried Chicken (Php368), a cereal-crusted buttermilk fried chicken (either classic or spicy) served with rice or French fries, and a pleasantly sweet and tangy milk gravy. 

When eating at Katherine’s Café, it’s imperative to leave room for dessert so I tried out a slice (Php175) of their Old Fashioned Sansrival.

A favorite dessert of mine, it is composed of baked meringue, toasted cashew nuts and vanilla butter cream.  A whole cake costs Php1,250. The all-day, 40-page dining menu, one of the most comprehensive of any restaurant in the city, covers practically everything - from delicious Filipino breakfasts, amply portioned entrees, a collection of delectable family recipes and yummy desserts, cakes and pastries.  Other items on the menu include:

Restaurant Review: Dulcinea Restaurant (Ayala Center, Makati City, Metro Manila)

 

Dulcinea Glorietta

After over nine months of being cooped up at home due to the COVID 19 pandemic, I felt brave enough (but still cautiously) to try dining out again and Jandy and I chose to return to a family favorite – Dulcinea Restaurant, one of the oldest Spanish restaurants in the country.  

Since 1963, this classic, real old school Spanish café/bakery/restaurant has been serving Spanish cuisine adapted to Filipino taste and style. 

The Dulcinea story actually started in 1961 when Señor Santos Ruano, with his knowledge, wits and his grandparents’ recipes, decided to leave his grandparent’s pasteleria in Spain to travel to the Philippines.  

Upon arrival, he opened up Dulcinea Pasteleria y Salon de Te, his own humble little pasteleria along Mabini Street in Ermita.

 

Ruano introduced various Spanish dishes and sugary treats including the classic churros con chocolate, a traditional Spanish dessert that I now enjoyed. What began as a little pasteleria has now become one of the enduring names in Manila cuisine.  

In 2008, the family-owned F&C (Florete and Caporence) Group of Companies (the same group behind Mang Inasal, Sbarro and Bucca di Beppo) acquired the Dulcinea brand, retaining its wide variety of Spanish dishes that made it so popular.  The company now runs 8 Dulcinea branches.

Today, Dulcinea still continues to uphold the tradition of serving delicious food and sweet pastries set by its founder.  

Their two branches (Glorietta and Greenbelt) within Ayala Center feature a homey blue and white atmosphere, with an adequate and clean space filled with simple but beautiful traditional Spanish decors. Their setting was comfortable, with good service and a nice environment for a delicious meal.

My favorite dish is the Arroz ala Cubana, a breakfast staple consisting of ground beef, onions, garlic, potatoes, and carrots, served with fried eggs, rice and fried saging na saba (Php285). 

Dulcinea Greenbelt

Chorizo con Arroz is another favorite breakfast staple that is basically slices of Spanish chorizo on top of sautéed rice with onions (Php240). Both came with free coffee.

The succulent Tuhod y Batoc, another favorite of mine, is a stew of tender and succulent beef knee and shoulder with potatoes, mushrooms and peppers (Php 540).   

Equally a favorite is the Fabada Asturiana, a hearty combination of stewed white beans and pork with Spanish chorizo and morcilla (Php 415). 

My son Jandy’s favorite main dish was the tender and flavorful Salpicao which was tastiest tenderloin cubes sautéed in a thick marinade of garlic, olive oil and spices, topped with chili, and served with buttered potatoes and garlic rice (Php435).

 

For my wife Grace and daughter Cheska, it was the Gambas al Ajillo, shrimp sauteed in a medley of garlic and olive oil and chili (Php325).  All of us enjoyed the Paella Marinera, saffron-infused rice topped with a variety of fresh seafood (Php695).

The Churros con chocolate we usually had for dessert consisted of 4 big, super crispy slices served with ultra thick, dark and strong hot Spanish chocolate (Php145).  

Another Dulcinea bestseller is the Lengua Estofado, very tender ox tongue simmered in a blend of spices, sliced and generously topped with homemade gravy and mushrooms (Php465). For its rice meals, Dulcinea has been using more of the premium Jasmine rice than regular rice. 

Some Dulcinea Restaurants have equipment needed for in-store baking of fresh batches of pastries so diners get them fresh all the time.  

Their sweets and pastries should be specially mentioned as they serve a huge number of cakes, leche flan, helado petissi and dessert sampler (combination of 3 desserts) every day. 

Now almost six decades old, Dulcinea still remains an intrinsic part of the lives of many Manila residents and three generations of Filipinos have walked through Dulcinea’s doors and enjoyed its delicious Spanish comfort food and pastries, a tradition continued from parent to child, from family to family.  Here is a sampling of their menu:
