We went there on a Friday under a reservation. It's cozy since it's in the back portion of a compound. The owner would visit his guest/s in every table and engaged them in small talks. The staff were accommodating too. Starters are served since it takes a while for the main courses to be served. Food there taste great most esp the seafood pasta and the apple strudel. Prices are highly affordable as well.

Thank you so much for your positive review Leah. it was a pleasure to have you. Unfortunately, I turned over the restaurant to a new Pilipino owner since Mid. January 2020 , fresh wind, something different. I defiantly will miss my customers and friends whom have supported me over the years. Again thank you.

Not what l expected down a lane behind a building. Looks like an expat drinking establishment more than a restaurant.

I tried the special being cod and it was pretty much frozen to the pan. It was really “just” edible with packet straw chips on the side. Chef is obviously just going through the motion out the back. I was the only one in the restaurant eating and while it’s looks nice I perhaps picked the wrong meal.

Still, you can normally judge the live in the food and there want any in this meal.

Incredible, the Schnitzel and Cordon Bleu is better than in Austria! Amazing cooking, just delicious. This compensates entirely for the small breakfast portions of Ph. I want to go back there! Chef is from Netherlands.

Oh my gosh.... just the best!!! We ordered so much food here and all of it was amazing!!
So we had a long time in between the appetiser and the main course but it was well worth the wait!
We had the chorizo sausage, the Greek salad, the olives and the pate and the European salad. I loved all of them. I did find the dressing a little too sweet for my personal liking, on the salad, but everything was just delicious.
And then we had pasta with meat balls, the ostrich steak, the meat stew, seafood paella and vegetable paella. Oh my, the vegetable paella was the best I have ever had... loved it! The ostrich steak was my first and it was amazing, the beef stew was another favourite.
The meal here was incredible!! The service was fantastic and the overall atmosphere here was just very homey.... I loved it! I would go back in a heartbeat! I would highly recommend this spot!!!

I ordered the pepper steak. When I spoke with the owner he explained the meat is Australian, which figures as it was excellent. I hadn't expected it to be so good at this price. The peppers were really nice.

The fries were a let down. They were the kind of thing you get in a fast food place. The owner said there another kind, like Belgian fries, which I will try next time. Things like potato wedges, the vegetables with meals, will knock this restaurant up another notch.
