Went here last Feb 13, 2020. Expect to fall in line if you have no reservation. Rain also affects there operation since this is a roof deck dining meaning longer lines and waiting time. Food is average, solo meal is good for 2. :)
Reservation is recommended if you are not patient to wait.
La Cathedral Cafe is a well-known place for its stunning view and setting. For me, that's where it ends.
While the view is great, entry to the place can be a bit more complicated, what will all the health protocols made worse by the number of visitor it receives every day.
Since it's a popular cafe, many people go there, which means long lines of waiting for walk-ins, and quick running out of slots for table reservation.
When we got there, there was like around 20 people waiting in the facade to go up. Once you get to the second floor, there's still a long line of waiting. Of course, that will only be for walk-ins.
Securing a reservation can be more complicated as well. Within 15 minutes of opening the reservation, it's already out. We're lucky to secure a table, but many don't get that chance.
Further, the cafe has no alternative should you eat in the open and it suddenly rains. They may help you pick up your food, but you'll wait for tables if you're not yet done eating.
The food, I can say, was average, and not worth the price.
Overall, I believe it's a great cafe for its view. In the first place, that's what we went there for. Other things can improve, and I hope they do.
If you go there, you'll get stunned by the view, but not the service or food.
It gives a old school Manila vibe that brings your heart close to home. With a background of the Cathedral church it sure gives you an instagram worthy photos. If you don't want to queue make sure to book your seat in advance. Price of food is fair. Flavor is fair. The ambience is what gives it a 5 star rating.
Found this Gem within Manila, for a very indecisive person their Menu is thoughtfully collected and won't disappoint you. Food is great and the place is warm. They also value costumer service 👌 to sum it up, we had the best time. Can't wait to visit again on daytime. Tablea cake is a must.
Worst customer service I have ever encountered! The lady-staff with the short hair should not be positioned at the reception area because of her rude attitude and tactless mouth. The management should give their employees good training in dealing with the customers.
Will I recommend this place? NEVER!!!!!
By the way, they don't even deserve the one star!
