I have been planning for weeks to visit this place and luckily was able to have lunch on a Saturday. We actually got lost using website and brought us inside a village. (The place is just along Aguirre!). There were a group of kids inside who just finished their art class. The other part of the restaurant is an art studio, just small but really really nice (coming from an art ethusiast like me). I got myself a "Mona Lisa cheeks" for 175 pesos and my friend a "Van Dyke's roast beef" for 250 pesos. Nothing special about the roast beef (as per the taste of my friend) but the Mona Lisa cheeks! It's like the best chicharon-like liempo I ever had. It melts in your mouth (Literally!) Plus, it also comes with an egg, a simple ensalada of tomatoes and onions and a very tasty vinegar. Will I come back? Of course. Definitely worth every centavo.

Food : 10/10Place : 9/10Service : 8/10Been here twice and the the dishes we ordered are always the best! Monalisa's cheeks, the pastas, baked chicken curry with corn flakes and their coffee. Their menu are unique and it's like you can't find the same dishes in other restaurants here in BF. Place was good, while waiting for your order you can check their gallery. The service is alright it's like you visited a home and the people will entertain you in the best way they can, don't expect them to be with the dining area all the time.

The place was a feast in the eyes and mouth. It is indeed a warm place that let's you enjoy the company of your friends while enjoying art. The staff is courteous, accommodating and considerate. One of the staff even allowed me to go to the second floor to view the picturesque art that was there even though my friends and I ate during lunch and no customers was there besides us. The food was great and servicing size was appropriate for the price. Definitely a place worthy of visit.

Went inside this cafe out of curiosity and we're glad we did. This place is BEAUTIFUL. You're dining within an art gallery. The paintings are well kept and organized. It's like you're not here in the Metro. It was so quiet and peaceful. Of course, we didn't leave without trying their food out. I tried Monalisa's Cheeks (P150). It's a pork cheek chicharon served with rice. Honestly, there's nothing special about it. Overall, I had a great time in here but I don't think I will be coming back.

Nice ambiance! Definitely what you'd look for in an art gallery café. My sister and I ordered the Da Vinci's Spaghetti and Iced Tea since the small bites weren't available. One good thing about this place is they cook your orders. They're not the reheat the food kind of place. You can really tell that your order's freshly cooked and prepared--- also giving you time to view the art gallery. Oh and did I say that the art viewing is free? Yep, it is. The help is also entertaining and very warm. We met the owner of the art gallery and café but she had matters to attend to. Although I should say that the food's a bit pricey but overall, it was a nice experience. Crossed off my Aguirre Bucket List!

The Pork Ribs BBQ is good, Leche Flan tastes so clean, the ambience is great because you are surrounded with beautiful art works from paintings, chairs, tables, even the restroom is a work of art. I also liked the fact that our server is a senior citizen. It reminds me of HongKong. The service is old-fashioned and personal in a good way. I am definitely coming back.

First of all, I would like to say that I didn't plan to visit this place and it all happened as an accident you may say. I never thought of this place as a place that serves food because me and my grandfather always visited Artist's Haven Cafe purely for the gallery and its art. So this is my first time to actually dine in this artsy, serene and comfortable gallery cafe.Food: Me and my girlfriend ordered 2 of the recommended dishes, Seafood Olio Pasta ala Winslow Homer & Raphael's Pork Barbecue Ribs.. The pasta which is what I personally devoured was amazingly satisfying. The seafood drenched in flavour from the oils, herbs and cheese melted in my mouth while the pasta itself was al dente and heavenly till the last slurp. You may say that the dish needs a bit more salt but that will depend on personal preferences and I think mine was of perfect seasoning. The Barbecue Ribs although I only got a little try tasted oddly really satisfying too but for me was a little underwhelming for its price. My girlfriend did enjoy it and found it worth it though so I guess it was just me. Our dish was complimented with Parmesan melted bread and this tasted oddly satisfying too and my girlfriend loved it to the point that she ordered 2 extra ones to satisfy her delight for this siding. Oh I would also like to add that not everything in their menu is always available. We were also supposed to order salad but it wasn't available at the time of our visit. If this is a factor for you, you might have to contact them first before you make your visit just so you would know what to expect.Ambiance: You are in a cafe enveloped in art. I may not know a lot about art, but I do know that it is supposed to help you feel certain emotions depending on how it was conceptualized and man oh man the vibe we got from the place was comfortable, somehow asking you to chill and just enjoy the beauty of the area.I feel that the place needed more "ohmf" factor in there, although I'm just nitpicking at this point, I wish there were more improvements with some aspects of the restaurant like the design of the menu which I think can still be improved, the signage around the area and the extra details that may still be added to really make this place feel more like your premiere creative destination to just chill, dine and be fascinated with the works of art showcased in the gallery.Service: We were serviced by a senior, and I think this was a good factor to the overall theme of the area. She was chill, hospitable and attentive. Although at times we felt that we needed to open our ears wider because it was a bit difficult to understand the words she mutters. Overall, we had a great experience in terms of service, food and easing in the cafe. This is the place surely we would love to go back to when we want to just dine and chill by enjoying the art and ambiance of the area. Rated it 4.5 just because of the little nitpicks I have experienced but again, this is surely a place that everyone must visit.

It just happened that I had to visit Lay Bare and the resto was just across the street. Good thing my bestfriend decided to celebrate her birthday in one of the resto in BF Par, so I recommended Artist's Haven and without a second thought we drove right in. The place was stunning! Each room has its different style and ambience but one thing is common, they're all cozy.My friends ordered Seafood Olio (250) Monalisa's Cheeks (175) and Da Vinci Spaghetti (175) for moi. For drinks we tried the Iced coffee and tea (75). Yes, it's actually sulit. 👍

A really nice place! The art gallery-ish theme was very nice and pleasing. The staffs were very nice and accomodating as well. They even toured us around the place. The food justified it's price. The mona lisa's cheeks is a must try!!!!! It was one of the best bagnet i've ever tasted. It was very tender and tasty. Their chicken curry was very tender and yummy.
