On two separate nights we decided to eat at the Patio Ecila.There was a cosy, vibrant atmosphere with an acoustic band playing in a comfortable setting. We were made to feel welcome by the waitresses and had a seat in the busy but not chaotic dining area. There was Italian, philippine and European cuisine on the menu along with chefs specials.

The price was pretty reasonable at just 130 pesos. i also ordered a mango shake but I had to request that as they had no drink menu strangely. ... Continue
