This restaurant has a lovely garden and really sweet staff which are, however, sadly clueless about either service or food preparation. I am not familiar with Philippino cuisine, but if Kika is anything to go by, then it is a mix between a greasy spoon, French cuisine, with (organic) plantain on the side. Their menu boasts a Perfect Bloody Mary, but it finally arrived a hour later, it turned out to be an undrinkable mixture of fresh cucumber and carrot juice with some tomato and vodka in it. A nice place to sit in the garden in the summer and have a couple of spring rolls and a fruit juice - but I wouldn’t bother with a full meal.
