Poco Deli - Pasig

Shouldn't compare it to Katz deli..no where near Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

Price: 3 large plates of rice, sausage, and eggs, seafood pasta, a bottle of spanish wine and tiramisu for $60! 5 star. Ambiance: small restaurant with cute spanish decor, short of transform you from the busy street of Manila to a quaint restaurant in Italy or Spain. 4 star. Location: I have no idea what area this is... our cousin took us here! There are street parking and many restaurants in the area. Meals: comfort, high calorie. Good place to dine if you are hungry and looking for other food than pancit. Their sausage is home made and is very good. Seafood pasta is very tasty. 4+ star. Services: good and friendly. 4 star. This is one of our cousin's favorite lunch joint. They are specialized in sausages. We ordered German sausage, lamb sausage and pork belly. These are served with rice and eggs. The seafood pasta is pretty tasty and perfectly cooked. Everything is very simple but tasty! Good for your tummy and pocket but bad for your waistline!

When this place was newly opened, they had absolutely the best sausages in Metro Manila. I lived in Germany for a bit and I have to say their Nurenberg sausages were comparable to the ones I had in Germany. I recently had a chance to revisit Poco Deli and I have to say that the quality has changed for the worse. The sausages were oilier and the taste just wasn't quite on point as it was a while back. It's still okay, just not as excellent. During this visit, I also had a chance to try their chocolate cake. It sells out quite often, so if they have it, you might want to try it. It was moist and sweet as most chocolate cakes are. Still, if you want that small cute restaurant for your first date with a glass of wine, some sausages, cheese and pizza, I think this would be a viable option.

Good enough for the president, good enough for me The president's in town! Poco Deli has become more known for president Aquino's visit (wherein the entire street would be closed) than its food. However, this doesn't go away from the fact that Poco Deli serves some great eats. They're most famous for their home-made sausages with different meat combinations that will keep you coming back to try them all. Great sausages plus their wide international beer selection is a perfect pre-dinner or after-dinner treat. Aside from this, one of their best-sellers is their bacon slab, magic words right there, this is a definite must try; juicy, flavorful, and perfectly bacon-y. Aside from these treats they also have great sandwiches filled with great cold cuts. Poco Deli is a meat lover's haven with almost all their dishes for the carnivorous. A surprising treat I found in Poco Deli are their ice creams also home-made but extremely unique with flavors like gorgonzola and fig.

Poco Deli. This is the place that broke my diet. Mind you, I was on a successful, year-long discipline of eating food that are more or less lower on the calorie (and taste) count. Then my cousin graduated, and decided on this place. Small, with a rustic theme to it, Poco Deli is equal parts a restaurant and a meats deli, with offerings so perfect for the meat lovers that it's a patisserie for meat. A bratisserie (portmanteau of bratwurst and patisserie), if you will. Upon seeing the menu, the first thing that caught my eye was the bacon slab. There were plenty of other delights, but man, bacon. I said I deserve bacon, and in my mind I had the liempo-like slice of pork coming my way. Boy was I wrong. What came was a dish so rich and, and I'm making less and less sense as I recall that night, just bacon-y. It wasn't so much a dish as an experience. It was so good, I just had to share it with another cousin, just to see if she would be on the same page I was. The bacon slab was so good, it strengthened familial bonds. I walked out of the place a man haunted by the experience that was the bacon slab. I've never gotten back on diet ever since. So yes, Poco Deli. Great for the family, bad for the waist line, ultimately life-changing. EDIT: People, let's make BRATISSERIE happen!
