Book a table and get P500 off!
In the last decade, the Philippines has become a stage for the international food scene. We’ve seen franchise after franchise drop anchor within our shores, and even got a few Michelin starred names in the net. Despite all of that, there’s just something about Filipino food that trumps them all.

Undoubtedly, we all have memories attached to home cooked adobo, tinola, liempo, and what have you. The argument of “Why eat at a Filipino restaurant when you can have that at home?” is no argument because it’s always a welcome experience to get a taste of what home is like for someone else.

From the outside, Limbaga 77 looks like an old house. You’re not wrong in thinking that because the restaurant is actually a 50 year old ancestral home.
You’ll find familiar remnants of what used to be the foyer, sala, and bedrooms that were converted into dining space and function rooms. But some of the architecture has remained intact —the grand staircase, wooden floor panels, and large window frames are unchanged and preserve the warm, cozy feel.
