Mangantila Cafe and Restaurant

Steering away from the city and into the outskirts of Baras, specifically in J.P Rizal Brgy. Evangelista, you will find a charming restaurant that is slowly becoming a favorite place for biking influencers to review and visit. It's none other than Mangantila Cafe and Restaurant.

Derived from the Pangasinan word “Mangan” meaning “Kain” (eat) and “Tila” which means “Tayo” (us), the restaurant's name is a multi-layered invitation to enjoy, not only in the physical aspect as you fill your tummy with scrumptious food, but also your other senses such as touch, sight, and even hearing, for Mangantila can be found along side of Laguna Lake. As you eat, you can enjoy, relax, and get a glimpse of provincial life through the ambiance by seeing a 360-degree view of Rizal and feel the fresh air in the area as you eat.

In Mangantila, they will not only invite you to eat but offer a unique dining experience. Like previous visitors and regulars of this food hub, you will be charmed and stopped in your tracks by their native-styled alfresco dining, starting from their entrance---a gravel path way lined with mahogany trees. Popular with bikers and motorcycle riders, the said gravel path gives off the illusion of a beautiful tree tunnel leading in. You can also enjoy their native bridge walkway, overlooking the Pilillia Windmills, thus offering you a great spot for birdwatching.

Food-wise, you will be equally fascinated with what they serve. You can order breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu items for your chosen meal while sipping free brewed coffee as you wait for your orders.

You can enjoy the sounds and sounds of Laguna Lake as you wait, for they have a beautiful outdoor seating area. You can choose to dine in one of their four small nipa-hut cottages, ideal for groups with up to six people. Meanwhile, you can also opt for their Boodle Fight Floating Dine-in Area. Here, your food will be served in banana leaves. True to the unique Filipino Filipino tradition, you will also be served Filipino dishes and seafood, in family-friendly or group-sharing portions.

Their staff is professional and top-notch, always ready to take care of the guests' needs. They also have a spacious parking area, which caters to cars, motorcycles, and even bicycles. They are open every day and you're not required to make reservations.

With a picturesque backdrop and excellent food, you will surely consider Mangantila in Baras Rizal as a place for a couple of special occasions. Mangantila offers catering services for weddings, gatherings, and birthdays, complete with table set-up and decorations, as well as post-event clean-up services.

After a hearty meal, you can also wind down in the restaurant. Try their various drinks, both in hot and cold, both coffee and non-coffee-based drinks. One of the drinks you shouldn't miss is their Tsokolate de Batirol which is hot chocolate served traditionally and made from authentic local cacao beans served hot with a generous dollop of evaporated and condensed milk. Don't miss your chance to enjoy this nostalgic and comforting drink. Visit their place or check out their website at www.mangantilarizalcafe.com.

Rambulls Bakahan Sa Tanay

True to its character, if you will ever traverse along Manila East Road Barangay Plaza Aldea in Tanay, you must check out Rambulls Bakahan and Bulalohan. What makes it different from other food hubs and businesses? It does not resort to just the usual design, for you will be greeted with skulls of the bulls decorated in front of the restaurant.

While there are many categories of food to choose from, most patrons choose to order Bulalo. They look forward to tender beef, and flavorful soups paired with freshly-cooked white rice, along with a slew of other yummy meals, which would guarantee for you to stop what you're doing and focus on eating. Other dishes you can try are goto, kare-kare, sinigang na baka, and roasted chicken, which comes with a free hot soup as you wait for your order to arrive.

Did you know that Rambulls over a drive-in option to order their food? Instead of eating inside the restaurant, you can opt to eat in the safety of your car. This setup has been a response to the pandemic, which caters to the safety of the clients, the staff, and even the owner of the said food hub. Their staff is even dressed cowboy/cowgirl staff, amusing the clients, all the while ensuring that they get their food as soon as possible.

With this in mind, rest assured that the parking area is not a problem. You can choose to park from their wide parking lots in front of the establishment. Since Rizal has become a popular biking destination, many groups of bikers learn that this place is a place where they can grab a heavy meal without spending too much money. You will also be impressed with the owner's commitment to accessibility for all, for they have incorporated wheelchair ramps in the design of their restaurant, which even the most affordable house and lot in Baras Rizal do not have.
