Ordered the pot roast and had only one thin slice of pork. Serving size and price combined is unbelievable. Not even sure if I enjoyed the other food that we ordered since I was so pissed off about how tiny the pork slice was. Think of 1 strip of bacon kind of size for 290 pesos. The place looks nice, but please, don't be cheap in serving sizes. Be freaking fair to the customers. (I made a website account just to say this.)

Cafe Away from the PublicProduct: Whenever I look at places to eat in website, I always stumble upon Cafe Publico but never really choose to eat here for some unknown reason. Finally though, I convinced my family that we should eat here. The prices were definitely higher than usual and the serving is normal too but the food was good so I don't regret eating here as long as I don't think about the price.We got a Chicken Salpicao, Mushroom Salad (Can't remember the name), and their Breakfast Platter (Also not exact name), a Nutella Hot Choco, and a Coffee Affogato. The menu posted here is quite different from the one I saw when we ate here so I can't really remember the exact names. My parents loved the salad, the serving was big but good enough to satisfy only one person and the breakfast platter was also big and it's good enough for sharing. It came with two cups of rice, two small eggs, tocino, and longganisa. I'm a sucker for breakfast food so I loved it but for a smaller price, I can enjoy these at other restaurants. I wish they would put a little twist on it so people would consider ordering it again. The salpicao was also just good enough to make one person full which is reasonable. I didn't get to taste it but the plate got empty so, I think the person who ate it liked it.The Nutella was sweet, as it should be. It is what you would expect melted Nutella to taste like, full of hazelnut goodness with a bitter mix into it. The Coffee Affogato was served in a cute and small glass, coffee in the bottom and ice cream in the middle, topped with lots of coffee jelly. I would've preferred it without the jelly because I don't seem to enjoy gelatin nowadays but still, I think they used their very own gelato on it so I still enjoyed the whole thing.Venue: Like I said on the title, Cafe Publico is a cafe away from the eye of the public. When I say public, I mean it's not located in a place where everyone strolling around the area can just see it and choose to eat here. However, they are still in a good location because it is near the cinemas. Only near, so you still have to walk a few steps but it's very easy to find. It also means that, it can be considered a private place to eat at because it’s not noisy outside despite the restaurant having no doors. The interior was gorgeous though, it is a good place to have a chikka with your chicas. The theme is like a garden inside a cafe, you can't help but take pictures. They even have a few board games like Pictionary available for you to play with. The server was patient with us and they're very willing to assist you with anything. The service was okay, not fast nor slow. We didn't wait that long for our food.

Tag: Their serious about their drinks concoctions! Seated near the cinema area this cafe is indeed an attention catcher due to their "gelato" which I believe is made from scratch! Wide arrays of flavors you'll definitely find one that suits your taste! The place is small mostly for movie take out but still it holds a cool and warm dining experience Starting offChurros! I loved it mini churros crispy outside and soft inside plus the luscious chocolate dip I would recommend it! Chicken Salpicao one of their sellers is indeed a good rice bowl, savory not too salty plus the huge mushroom in the middle it's really filling! Mushroom truffle pasta anything with truffle is great specially if not too much, with them it's quite enough truffle flavor that's creamy and tasty at the same time goes well with the mushroom and cheese flavor.Panini pizza a different take on pizza well just fair what i liked about its is the crispiness and the twist Truffle fries will be my favorite movie date snack really good Explosion well it's lava cake with vanilla ice cream on top best with their cappuccino but I must say only sweet lovers would appreciate it quite sweet indeed.Mango melon wow so refreshing specially if your exhausted this will bring your energy back! Genuine melon flavor Thai Black iced tea one of my favorite twists done in a milk tea it's tea, milk, chocolate and coffee all in one woaah! Explosion of flavors nice one I must say! Overall they are good for chit chat dining experience and even better as movie date snack!
