Kape Pilato Bistro Café

Kape Pilato

     Kape Pilato is a budding new restaurant in Malate, Manila. The interiors of the two-story establishment look high-end, really modern, and spacious! You'd expect that the food prices are high but they're affordable. They even have combo meals. =) And the food looks, smells and tastes great!

View from the top

     On the walls on the left of the resto are the words coffee in different languages like cafe, kope, caffe, and ko-pyi in French, Hawaiian, Italian and Korean.

THE TABLES

     The chairs and tables all have modern designs, putting emphasis on clean lines, different shapes and the colors white, black and silver.

Modern-designed tables

     On the second floor are booth types of black and white seats, again with the modern feel, as well as a mini bar with bright cherry red seating. This area is perfect for big groups or families enjoying their meal. =)

Booths

     There's also a separate area with comfortable plush seats, a small sofa as well as chairs by the window. This space is made a little more private with the divider and is perfect for having drinks and snacks.

THE FOOD

     The food they offer have a variety of taste and appeal. The servings are good for sharing which as always a plus! They're interesting and are presented well. :D

Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet

Chocolate cake

     The Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet is so scrumptious! The sauce is thick and flavorful while the fish is tender and are cut in big pieces which is good. The veggies are also cooked perfectly and not overdone. The presentation was nice and appealing too. =) This Combo Meal (200php) came with a delicious chocolate cake with some nuts on top. It was a nice ending to a savory dish. :)

Carbonara Classica (135php)

     Aside from looking really good, the taste was superb too! There was enough creamy, tasty sauce and the noodles weren't soggy nor tough. There were also a lot of bacon bits, mushrooms and cheese on top which is a plus. =p

Sisig Pasta (145php)

     This is one unique pasta! No wonder it's one of their bestsellers. You wouldn't think that sisig could be mixed with penne pasta but it's really good! This is a recommended dish! =p

Ceasar Salad (148php)

     The green leafy veggies were fresh and crunchy and the grilled chicken fillet was tender and flavorful, a nice combination with the ceasar dressing.

Taco Salad (115php)

     The taco was soft and there was a lot of toppings! This would be good for a group of 3 or 4 who are looking for snacks to munch on =p The ranch dressing was sour and perfect for the salty cheddar cheese, taco meat and sweet tomato. The different textures and flavors was a good mix!

Strawberry basil iced tea (70php)

Guava basil iced tea (70php)

     These thirst quenchers were awesome -- very refreshing because of the basil and it was nice that it had some fruit bits, too. We could have more of those! It's just that we're too full. Haha! :)
