Sure there are a whole lot of dining spots in Rizal, Laguna, Tagaytay, Pampanga, and more that are so worth the drive but you don't always have to go outside Metro Manila! That perfect mix of aesthetic and relaxing places that serve genuinely good food exists in the Metro, too, of course. In Taguig City, one example would be the gorgeous and newly opened La Luna Café.
According to Taguigeño, La Luna Café opened its doors during the 123rd Independence Day (That's June 12, 2021). La Luna Café is located inside a modern heritage house that company Bayani Gourmet turned into a bakery-restaurant-café.
If you're looking for an alfresco dining area, La Luna Café has tons of space! It has patios and wooden benches under shade courtesy of the trees that surround you. You can definitely picture Happy Hours and intimate dinner dates here.
If you're more comfortable dining inside the establishment, it also has cozy nooks paved with concrete and bricks, under warm lighting fixtures. This is a better seating option if it's too hot and humid outside.
Plus, this bakery does not just have panaderia classics but other Filipino and Western dishes, too! It has a wide selection of breakfast fare—silog meals included, appetizers, soups, vegetables, main dishes, desserts, and of course, elevated panaderia classics. For refreshments, La Luna has coffee, hot chocolate, fruit juices, fruit shakes, milkshakes, and soda.
Yummy.ph talked to La Luna Café to share what its bestsellers are and here are some recos: when it comes to Western dishes, go for the Steak Frites (P600) and the Baby Back Ribs (P850/half rack and P1,700/full rack). As for the best Filipino main dishes, you have to try the Grilled Pork Belly Sinigang (P500) and Pinaupong Manok (P460).
If you're feeling adventurous, you also have to try La Luna Cafe's Taguig Specialties specifically the Kalderetang Itik (P450), Adobong Itik (P450), Lutong Itik (P300), and Fried Itik (P800).
When it comes to its freshly baked bread, La Luna Café's bestsellers include the Ensaimada (P75) and the stuffed pandesal. They have Premium Corned Beef Pandesal (P90), Premium Tapa Pandesal (P100), Premium Spanish Sardines Pandesal (P160), Premium Sisig Pandesal (P50), Premium Pastel Pandesal (P60).
Although the stuffed pandesals are a little pricier than usual, you should try the regular versions if you're curious enough but not looking to splurge. La Luna Café has these to offer too: the Corned Beef Pandesal (P30), Tapa Pandesal (P35), Spanish Sardines Pandesal (P55), Sisig Pandesal (P25), and Pastel Pandesal (P25).
