Plana's Pantry

Our website group took advantage of a near-empty Manila yesterday due to the Holy Week break. We huddled up and went to two restaurants. One of them is a cafe in Mandaluyong called Plana’s Pantry. They serve Western and local cuisine.Overall we weren’t satisfied with what we availed from them. The only thing that stood out for me was two things, their tasty plate of Chicken Teriyaki with pesto rice and Plana Pantry’s moist and fudgy, Midnight Chocolate Cake. I don’t recommend their Tomato, Basil, and Shrimp for it was too ordinary. Same goes with the Beef Salpicao since most of its pieces were just too rubbery. Our table also ordered Mushroom Salpicao and their own freshly baked Cheese Bread.

Serving portions here are huge which is good for the prices. Had their salpicao and I think it was just okay, fork tender, goes well with the pesto rice but lacked flavor. I was expecting it to be more intense given it's a kind of tapa, have tasted better elsewhere.Service was quick, the decadent chocolate cake was great, it was moist and not too sweet.Overall, worth a visit, will probably try their other dishes next time.

I just love this place! I always go here for takeout since I only have myself to dine with. And even though it’s takeout, they always ace preparing my food. Very good quality for the price of food! I love their baby back ribs at P285. Comparing the price to the flavor of food, it’s one steal in the bag! Flavorful! Soft that you can literally eat the bones. Make this place mainstream! The world needs this kind of food experience.

It's my second time here and the food has been consistent this time around! Ordered Beef Salpicao again and I asked them if they could seperate the rice and veggies from the viand since I don't eat them and they kindly did so! Staff were always friendly and corteous to their guests. Also nocticed that they hurriedly attended to waiting customers outside which is a good thing because no one wants to wait outside without being assisted right? For dessert we had the Avocado ice cream and carrot cake which were all good. All in all this is a place you should visit for brunches/dinners when you're around the area :)

The atmosphere is very calming and crowd is good. The staff just lack a bit of attentiveness but the food is really good although the place is a bit small but it's okay. Lengua is very tender and cooked in perfection. The ribs is also good and meaty. The price is very reasonable. I would definitely go back for more.

Place is big enough to accommodate about 20-30 people. Very chic and cozy, great for catching up with friends because the place is not noisy and very relaxed. Their dishes are huge considering the price (had to order extra pesto rice lol.!) their hickory ribs are phenomenal and so is their pork belly. Definitely two thumbs up!

The place was oozing comfort with a very relaxing feel, good hints of plants quotes and pictures. A bit of a down size was the counch its dirty needs maybe cleaning or a new one since they had been here for about 3-5yrs or so. 8/10*Hickory Ribs - Amazing it falls off the bone instantly the meat wasn’t flaky which i would’ve expected in some restos who serves Ribs. The sauce was quite a bit great since it wasn’t too sweet or tangy just a perfect balance and good portion of meat. A little bit steep on the price perhaps maybe around the ball park of 230-260 would be great (Php 285 actual price). 8/10+ Pesto rice - The rice is fluffy not watery not to salty and the pesto wasn’t too powerful on the taste just perfect balance good compliment to sweet ribs to give you that Herb taste. 8/10*Oversized Iced tea - same taste as different other restos serving iced teas i just wish that they could have a bottomless option with them. 8/10Service was good 8/10Recommendable 8/10 Value for money 7/10 Will i comeback 8/10

Everything about this restaurant is spot on! The food tastes amazing. Their Chicken Steak is best paired with their Calamansi with Honey juice in my opinion. We ended our meal with a slice of their Midnight Chocolate Cake and Mocha Chip ice cream... heaven!!! The ambiance is so cozy I felt like I was having breakfast on a warm Sunday morning even though we ate dinner on a rainy evening. Overall, it was an amazing experience. This is a place worth coming back to. ❤️
