Lonely Planet review for Museum Cafe

Much more than a simple refuelling stop for museum patrons, the M Cafe, as it’s popularly known, is a magnet for Manila’s chichi class. The trip-hop ambience and exquisite all-white interior make for an especially artistic experience. The menu is heavy on light bites and sandwiches.

    The Many Dualities of M Cafe

    lalimarie recommends this,

    M Cafe is located in the posh environs of the Greenbelt area in Makati City, the Central Business District of the bustling metropolis that is Metro Manila. The cafe located in the ground floor of the Ayala Museum can both be relaxed for a Sunday family brunch yet uber-cosmopolitan for cocktails with best girlfriends ala Sex and the City Girls. Whom I can imagine being absolutely comfortable here, the cafe being a stone throw away from shops of luxury labels such as Gucci, Prada and Louis Vuitton to name a few. M Cafe is undeniably a chill spot to be seen sipping one's cocktail and having that very appetizing Asian crab cakes and can also be the food lover's paradise while sampling their chili lemongrass Australian lamb chops and Kung Pao Wok Fried Chicken.

    M Cafe's ambiance is swanky with it's al fresco dining with modern interiors. At night the swankiness is added with romance in tastefully done candlelight, very dim lighting and chill out music. The biggest reason this highly stylized Vogue-esque cafe won my heart is through their dessert menu. This is heaven for one girl who asks the waiter for the dessert menu first before anything else. The heavenly sweet concoctions ranges from Jackfruit Sansrival to Chocnut Varlhona, a very popular favorite among regular patrons. The dessert menu doesn't exclude the local touch of Filipino food by adding sweet treats that incorporates Sago the local version of tapioca in their Honey Dew Melon with Sago and let's not forget the national fruit mango with Mango sticky rice.

    M Cafe is the place to be for breakfast, lunch, cocktails, dinner and just plain chill-out time. A place where wining and dining is an art form to be enjoyed just like the the real art inside the museum above.
