Maria Luisa's Garden Cafe in Metro Manila

"An oasis in the middle of the city. I didn't know this place existed in Makati. It has nice seating areas and the location is instagrammable. The souvenir shop has nice, cheap finds"

"Super nice atmosphere! Everyone there is so nice and a accommodating. All the food we had was very good! Most defiantly will come back again."

"The service here was superb, the dishes both artful and delicious. There was offering of the most excellent salads, soups s well as vegetarian dishes. Our greatest difficulty was trying to decide which dishes to try! Beautiful garden atmosphere. It is a shame that there are plans of closing down this restaurant soon....."

"Went there Sunday and it's a very relaxing place. The food and service was great."

"Delectable meals in an exclusive, homey setting. Unlike other garden clubs in the area, Makati Garden Club is the pioneer and leader in plant care and gardening, and the first Garden Club to be established in the Philippines to focus on education and the environment. For fifty years, MGC has maintained a plant garden and nursery in the heart of Manila, organized plant and gardening classes for the community, and raised millions of pesos to sustain the livelihood of Filipino farmers in the neediest areas in the Philippines #LVPMoment"

"It is a cute little place for intimate parties. The food was great, very good sound system, but the only negative thing about the place is the lack of parking space. All in all its okay and will recommend it to anyone."

"Very exquisite for dining and lounging. Food is very delicious and service was great. Always felt comfortable and home-like. Definitely a place to be."

"Makati Garden Club was a very quaint and intimate setting. The outdoor dining area was open and pleasant. However, dining indoors was just as impressive as I felt like I was in someone’s home. The food was pretty good overall. Charcuterie platter was good especially with the cheeses but one of the salami tasted a bit weird. A good starter to share. Jamón croquettes were delicious and the sauce complemented the appetizer well with its flavor. Tomato and Bufala Mozzarella was refreshing on the palate especially if you add a dollop of pesto to enhance the dish. Personally my favorite appetizer Main course was gnocchi with truffle mushroom sauce. Very creamy and rich and best of all, freshly hot. I’d highly recommend this pasta dish to anyone looking for something flavorful and filling. Last but not least, dessert which consisted of chocolate lava cake with ice cream, tiramisu, and creme brûlée. The lava cake was alright but a bit too small especially for the price. Tiramisu was decent. Creme brûlée was a good finisher to the meal with its creamy goodness. Overall, a cozy little atmosphere to enjoy a meal with a friend or your special someone."
