Bench Cafe Manila reviews

The food, service and ambiance at the Bench Cafe are all wonderful.

It took over 5 hours for food to reach us. The restaurant was not crowded.

You are looking for Filipino cuisine? This is the place to go. They offer Filipino-inspired dishes with Filipino twists, but they still feel like a Pinoy.

Although the store looks expensive, I was surprised to see that it offers affordable Filipino food. They also have a great selection of local liquors. We tried halo-halo but it wasn't your typical ice. It was more like a bingsu type. We will definitely be back.

It was not the most pleasant dining experience. I had to wait for my food, which came in small portions. The staff were not friendly. The food was okay but it was too much hassle.

Their unique mix of flavors is delicious and well worth the effort.

The food looks good and tastes great. However, I rate them 3 stars because the staff is not friendly when they first arrive. They only give us one plate. When I ask for the bill they forget to offer dessert. We weren t happy to pay thousands to have this service.

The food is delicious, but the service style is poor.

The restaurant is owned by the famous Philippine clothes retailer Bench. It is named after Ben Chan. They also offer food at a great value. This branch is inside a shopping mall so parking is easy.

This establishment is actually mislabeled and is not a sports bar . It s just a little bar with an interesting menu and is not too active or fun really. You have to go up some not well lit stairs to get to it while attempting to...be pressure sold on how great it is by the girls downstairs, some who follow you up, claiming that it is a sports b... see more

Great selection of desserts, drinks and mains.

This place has changed and is now just a music bar. It isn t open during the day and the TV screens are switched off. Don t go if you are hoping to watch live sport.

This place is now closed due to a leasing dispute with the property owners. However their other bar Dusk Till Dawn is still operating further up the road in M.H Del Pilar.

Not very friendly place and also a bit risky to get there and to be there (badly lit area full of homeless people, so sad...so sad). Live band (of sort) was fine and so was the acoustics. A rowdier place next door looks closed down...(maybe for good reason). Far better places even in run down Ermita. My review could be a bit biased as I am more ... see more

food is borderline awful. the burgers are dry and without any life at all. the filipino dishes will make make you want to shout rip off. the saving grace are the numerous Tv screens offering various sports for viewing.

We visited here during my cousin s birthday. It s really nice that they have their karaoke thing and karaoke contest, at the back area of the bar. But I think they need to improve the area for customer and employee sakes. Just like when we visited...here, heavy rain came and mostly of the guests especially us, got wet. And that is not the only prob... see more

If you love football, I don t care if you have a hotel in pasig, makati or anywhere else..This is the bar you want to visit. This Sports bar has real soul. And I dont say that about a lot of places believe me. Steve the...manager is truly amazing
