Best Breakfast In Eastwood City

There are many many places to have breakfast in Eastwood City. But most fall far short of Denny’s in the USA. Dennys is not gourmet food either. But they put on a pretty good breakfast and probably is their best meal offered. I really miss good Dennys style hash browns. No restaurant in the Philippines as yet has offered hash browns similar to Dennys.

1. UCC Park Café. Easily the best place to have breakfast in Eastwood City. Portions are large enough (unlike all the other restaurants in Eastwood City). Variety of dishes is also quite huge. Meat flavor is good and fresh. Eggs good and fresh and properly cooked. Bread fresh and nice portions served with jam upon request. I had the corned beef breakfast and my wife had the traditional eggs and meat breakfast. Kids had waffles which were so so (better to go to Pancake house or Heaven n eggs for waffles).

Best coffee I’ve had ANYWHERE in the Philippines. You can tell top quality beans are used. However, in general most restaurants here have very good coffee and usually better than USA restaurants. They have a very unique brewing process for the coffee too which you can observe.

If you need service a button you can push at the table- never seen that anywhere here and very nice. Most restaurants here once they serve you the food you are on your own and often you need something just after food is served and no one there to help you. With the button the problem is solved.

Desserts looked great but did not try. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

2. Heaven n Eggs. They have a huge selection for breakfast available and many off the wall. Manila Spare Ribs are quite good but always bother my stomach later. Many kinds of omletes available. Japanese Stir Fry also good. BEST pancakes I’ve had in the Philippines, and always great every time. Thick but still light and fluffy and four kinds of syrup. As good as any USA pancake and on par with the best USA pancake. Portions for all meals are big. Prices are also quite high to go along with the large portions.

However, Heaven n Eggs really falls down on service. Probably the worst service I’ve ever gotten anywhere in the Philippines. I guess bad training or management for the branch we go to in Eastwood. Also, the place is not very clean and I wonder what the kitchen looks like. 2.5 out of 5 stars.

3. Pancake House. You would think they would have the best pancakes but they are mediocre. The portions are small but still expensive. The hash brown is a tiny brick that’s been deep fried same as Mc Donalds. Soaked with grease. One good thing though. They do have the best sausage I've tasted anywhere here in the Philippines, but they are only about 1.4 inches long. Sigh. 1.5 out of 5 stars.

4. Mc Donalds. They do offer breakfast. Same as USA. But they don’t offer the McGriddles which would be a big hit here. Its weird. Anywhere cheap and run of the mill food offered just like in USA but the price is cheap at least. 2 out of 5 stars.

5. Sugarhouse. Price was expensive especially considering how much food you actually got. Quality was good and good ambiance. I would pick them over Pancake House any day but still just average. 2.5 out of 5 stars.

6. Old Vine Grille. Nothing special here. The usual breakfast. Not bad, not great. Nice ambiance as it is a new high end restaruant in Eastwood. However prices on par with other restaurants for breakfast in the 200 peso range. 3 out of 5 stars.

There are so many more places to go that I have not yet tried.
