Cafe Via Mare - Niles

Great place for Filipino comfort food and merienda! Had a lovely and comforting Arroz Caldo a while ago. Had their delicious Queso de Bola Pandesal with fries today!

I love eating at Via Mare . The fresh oyster and Rockefeller are great. The lugaw toppings is one of my favorite with tokwat baboy on the side. Ive tried almost everything in the menu from the bagnet salad to the main dishes like the fried pla pla, talong, monggo soup crispy pata to bam-i which are taste good to the desserts samplers puto bumbong bibingka even the sagot gulaman n guinomis is perfect. So when in Rockwell, Trinoma, Greenhills or UP . I wouldnt miss eating here.

Crispy Pata was good! Liked their Ginataang Bilo Bilo too but have always not been a fan of camote. Service was good too. Place was very chill and it was nice to see that there’s a lot of senior citizens dining in who seems to know each other!

The OG Filipino comfort food place! I dont even know why people bother going to M... when Via Mare has been around for ages! My personal favourites are the sinigang, pinaputok na tilapia, kare kare and ofc thier signature bibibgka and kakanin.

Classic! Still my go to for Puto Bumbong (which I sometimes order with cheese! and Bibingka (I get the special one with queso de bola and salted egg everything on it pls! . And not only available during the holidays but all year round of course! The Pinoy sampler shooters of halo halo, guinomis and mais con hielo, I didn’t like though, our order seemed like more ice/ water than toppings. For savory dishes my forever love will be their Dinuguan which I like to have with rice sometimes instead of puto and a side order of Tokwa’t Baboy too. I find some of their their dishes a bit pricey though for breakfast items ex. the vigan longganisa or adobo flakes but they are yummy!
