Kanto Freestyle Breakfast is a popular 24/7 all-day breakfast spot. Customers are able to build their own choosing from their long list of breakfast items. ‘Kanto’, which means street corner in English, is a local term for a point where friends decide to meet. It’s for people who want a good meal for their Php 100. It’s not for who are looking for isaw and tusok-tusok. We recommend their Batangas Beef Tapa, Honey Garlic Chicken and Mixed Berry Pancake.
