I found out about Lorenzo's Way through website while looking for a good place to bring my parents to for lunch. The good ratings were justified as I tried their Sotanghon in Baby Pusit and Kare Kare. We were supposed to have their advertised Mahi-Mahi but it wasn't available so I had it replaced with Rosemary Chicken. Will try other dishes when we come back.I knew for sure, through another LJC restaurant, that Sikreto ni Maria would be the perfect dessert so we had that too. My dad liked the Fresh Carrot Juice here.If you're in Greenbelt, this is a must-try Filipino resto. Not only do they have good food but also, service is commendable.For the three of us, I was supposed to pay 2010 pesos which includes a 10% service charge. With senior discount, it dropped to 1782.

This is the first time I've been to a LJC resto and luckily, for my first website FC last July 2018 🚩 Lorenzo's Way serves Filipino-Spanish fusion cuisine and I can't wait to try them!For the appetizers, we had the Kesong Puti Caprese and Caesar Salad. Both of the greens are good when paired with mains. I appreciate the salad dressing because I'm not that head over heels for greens, but this one caught me off guard!For the mains, we had the Inihaw na Sugpo, Castillas de Ternera Guisada, Spanish Garlic Chicken, Adobong Puso ng Saging at Gambas, Black Pata, Paella Valenciana and Pancit Sotanghon sa Baby Pusit (for the noodles). My most favorite among them is their Black Pata. It very much tasted like the Pata Tim I've been craving for so long and that was definitely a hit for me. Especially their Paella and Inihaw na Sugpo! The Black Sotanghon was new to my tastebuds and it did not disappoint me. The Spanish Garlic Chicken was also savory.For the desserts, the Gigil Tart, Baklava, and Mango & Almond Panna Cotta. I can't remember if I tried the Gigil Tart but I know I eat tarts so maybe I liked it (lol) and my pesonal fave was their Baklava-- it was heavenly! The panna cotta just doesn't look appetizing to me.The place has a very classy Medieval/Filipino theme. The ambiance and the feel of the restaurant is sophisticated too. The staffs can also attend at your requests on most of the times. I even ordered for chamomile tea that time and they gave me a teapot of it! The price of their foods are a bit of expensive, but I'm pretty sure it's fair in overall.Hoping to come back soon! [Last visited, July 2018]

Served on a bed of mashed potatoes with tomato caper sauce and sautéed shitake mushrooms.Pochero Especial. A dish of Spanish roots with a Filipino twist; served with chorizo, saba bananas, and vegetables.

They really have food filipino food and wide array of choices and styles of cooking for a filipino dish. This reminds me of Fely J’s both are actually superb. Taste, quality and service.

Had Sunday lunch here and ordered the following:- Sabaw ng Halaan at Buko- Adobong Puso ng Saging at Gambas- Spanish Garlic Chicken- Lengua Estufada- Pansit Sotanghan sa Baby Pusit- Baklava- Claude's Dream (carabao milk ice cream w/ pandan-flavored gelatin)Everything's seriously good!  I was torn among the garlic chicken, pansit and puso ng saging as my favorite, w/ the halaan and baklava as close second.  Yeeesss, halos lahat sila favorite ko! 🤪🙈.  The garlic chicken was baked to perfection - tender and tasty with just the right intensity of garlic taste.  It's doused in olive oil which could be a problem for some, but I'm okay with it -- I liked pouring the extra oil over my rice for that extra oomph.  I loved their version of puso ng saging.  It's a good balance of sour and salty, and the gambas, garlic and chicharon bits added dimension to this dish.  The baklava was not overwhelmingly sweet (like the baklava I tried years ago), and the vanilla ice cream paired well with the filo pastry.Never had I tried buko with halaan, or baby pusit with sotanghon, complete w/ the squid ink.  It might sound weird, but both worked great - subtly flavored, just enough to tickle the tastebuds.Both the lengua and claude's dream are good, too.  The lengua was fork-tender, but just a tad salty and expensive for me.  The ice cream serving was milky/creamy but a bit too small;  I don't want to share, but unfortunately, I was forced to. 😂Excellent service as well.  They served us complimentary camote chips (crispy and lightly seasoned) while we wait for our meal.  They also offered to portion the dishes that were meant for sharing and continually filled our glasses with service water all thru our meal.Best to call ahead to reserve a table.  We were there a few mins after they opened and we were relegated to the only table available - right by the door.  While they also have alfresco dining, it doesn't seem like a good idea to eat outside on a hot, sunny afternoon.

Had dinner here with my Family. My husband and father in law are Japanese but they loved the taste of the food that I ordered. They barely say anything about Filipino dish but this restaurant has passed their taste buds. Cheers!

Truly enjoyed food and service here. I went here on January 1 and the place was packed but nevertheless the staff aced it.Blue Hawaiian Shake.It has blue curaçao and I’ve never had it. I didn’t taste alcohol, though. The taste was similar to a fruit bubble gum.Rosemary Chicken.I like rosemary but never had rosemary chicken before. There was only a slight tint of rosemary and I really liked it. Boneless chicken is the best :)Sikreto ni Maria Clara.A dessert that has sticky rice, vanilla ice cream and macapuno. Can’t get any better than that! Filipino desserts are superb.I officially approve this place despite the fact that they didn’t have any prawns and two of the things that I wanted to order instead of the chicken were not available due to this fact.P.S. They also provide free crisps while you’re waiting (similar to those you can find in Kultura).

Food is delicious but the serving is not enough. Price is quite high. However, the location is quiet and lovely. My favorite dish is their Spanish Garlic Chicken.

They serve Filipino dish but this one is more expensive than Mesa's (which is just around it). I'd say their recipes are a little better than the latter as they also serve some healthy food. Also serve in a bit more high-end manner and you won't feel the "masa" vibe unlike the other resto I mentioned. And they do serve premium brown rice too, if I'm not mistaken.

If you want to experience Filipino food at its best, served in somewhat high-end dining then Lorenzo's Way is the place to go.  Conceptualized by Larry J. Cruz, founder of LJC Restaurants, this restaurant is a must for tourists who want to taste Filipino dishes as it is located right at the heart of Makati Business District.  Good for business travelers who don't have time to explore our country's amazing dishes.
