Hurray! Finally I get to do my first blog entry! I've been wanting to post something note-worthy but whenever I try to, I always get side tracked and lose my motivation to do so. Anywho, I created a new blog in order for me to have a fresh start with everything that has happened in the past few months. Let's make this fun, shall we? :D
Earlier today, I had to wake up early for class and my day was going awesome. While my college bestfriend and I were waiting for our second class, we had another usual conversation about food. HAHA. We were thinking of somewhere new to go to for lunch and I suggested that we give the new Cafe in Lapaz a visit.
Dova Brunch Cafe is located just in front of Lapaz Plaza. We kinda got lost when we were looking for it since we had no sense of direction! Haha. If you're going to ride a jeep, you'll need to walk a little bit until your reach Lapaz Plaza pension house (I think. haha!) and cross the road and walk a little bit more towards St. Warren School. I really hope I got all the names right 'cause if not, you'd get lost just like we did! Haha.
The first thing that I noticed when we went inside the cafe was its interiors. It's simple yet elegant. (Cliche as it may sound).
I heard that their name was derived from the owners' family name "Cordova". They also own a lot of branches that specializes in pizza and pasta. Who isn't familiar with "Afrique's"? Hihi :)
We were reaaaally hungry when we got there because it was already an hour past lunch time but we had to wait for 10 more minutes since the cafe was full! It was a good indication though since places that are usually full, serves THE best dishes!
THE MENU |
This place sure DID NOT disappoint our hungry tummies!!! First things first. The staff, well the waiters, were very well informed and they were smiling at all times and I love the fact that the one who served us confidently answered
my question which was, "What's your specialty?" :)
And... Here they are!!
It took at least 10-15 minutes for our first dish to be served but we didn't mind since the place was cozy and we were in a comfortable spot and it's also well ventilated even if they were jam packed with hungry people. Haha. :) I wish they could've had a much bigger space to accommodate more. They could always expand right? :)
Their herb chicken was to die for! Haha. Well, I may be slightly exaggerating but I really loved every single bite that I took while eating it! Haha :D
Dova is a bit pricy compared to regular restaurants within the metro but one order is already good for two persons so if you're in a budget you might have to think twice before placing your next order but I assure you, no regrets just plain pure tummy love. HAHAHA.
Before leaving, we asked their very approachable guard to take a picture of us and he did not hesitate! :D I applaud their staff and everyone behind Dova for their good service. That's one thing that keeps their customers from coming back too!!! :)
