Romulo Cafe

Here at Azumi Boutique hotel, at the bottom floor lies Romulo's. Romulo's is a Filipino restaurant named after the former statesman Carlos P. Romulo. This is a place where you can go for a nice meal or have an event. In this visit, we were checking out the venue for my sister's party. So for our lunch, we opted to have their fresh lumpia, inasal chicken sisig and binagoongan. The fresh lumpia and the inasal sisig were excellent, no need to add any additional sauces to the dish. Both were flavorful on their own right, the binagoongan on the other hand lacked the bagoong flavor. Overall, a good experience, good service and nice ambiance.

First time I was here was with my family. My mom and I celebrated our birthday lunch here and it did not disappoint. We ordered kare kare, crispy pork binagoongan, baby squid adobo and the suman latik which is probably one of the most delicious desserts I've had in my life! Everything we ordered taste great. Interior is cozy but posh. It can be quite expensive as this is a hotel restaurant but every penny is worth it. Service is excellent and now that this is on Eatigo, it made it even more appealing.

My family and I stayed in Azumi Boutique Hotel, and we had our breakfast at Romulo Cafe. The ambiance and interior is cute and attractive the food is great.

This restaurant can cater to events of all sorts. They have ample space to carry out private functions like the one I attended today. It was a buffet spread of their popular Filipino dishes. I wasn’t so hungry yet I got a number of viands on my plate. They all looked sumptuous. The Kare Kare was creamy and its alamang made it even better. I didn’t have the Binagoongan but it paired well with Romulo’s take on Chicken Inasal. I also suggest checking out their Gising Gising. For me, it was seasoned well and spiced just right. I also enjoyed the addition of some seafood, buttered shrimps and crablets! It’s good to know Romulo’s is around to have reliable local cuisine and get to share it too with a crowd given their spacious restaurants. You can also have an event set-up in Tomas Morato and Jupiter branches.

Dined here on a Sunday afternoon, and I have to admit, I already had some hesitations about the place because I had attended an event there once and I didn't like the food that was served. Was pleasantly surprised to have had a good and hearty meal. I got the lengua, and I loved the soft texture and the sauce. One of my companions ordered chicken relleno, and though I'm not usually a fan of relleno, I also enjoyed the Bacolod chicken and the Ginataang Sigarillas. I absolutely loved the food and would definitely come back for more!
