8 & Company - Talahiban

The Latte Macchiato Cake at this restaurant is truly a heavenly treat that you must not miss during your visit. The specialties here include the baked fish, which is the first item on the menu, and the 8-piece chicken dish. The fish simply melts in your mouth and remains delicious even when it cools down.

My experience at this restaurant started off well with a nice atmosphere, fast wifi, and delicious soup. However, the service was extremely slow and my food took over an hour to arrive, being brought out one dish at a time. Despite my patience, I doubt I will be returning for a second visit.

My friends and I made the journey from downtown Manila to this hidden gem of a restaurant. Located in a maze of small streets, specific directions are needed to find it. However, the delicious food makes it worth the effort. We tried the Green Goddess Salad (although the portion was small for sharing), the tender and juicy rib eye steak, the delectable mushroom truffle pasta, and the delicious baked fish (which was a bit oily). The cozy ambiance featured tables with soft couches for lounging while dining, each equipped with individual sockets for charging devices. The restaurant, although small, felt like an extension of the owner’s home, with modern black and white décor and attractive restroom decorations. Under new management by the son, the restaurant had previously operated under a different name managed by the father. Cash payment only is accepted at this time. I recommend checking out this restaurant for the delicious dishes and charming atmosphere.
