We decided to try Café Manila last Thursday for an after work dinner. The restaurant wasn’t busy and the waiters were fairly easygoing and friendly. The decor is bright and airy, and candles were lit at our table, which made the atmosphere a bit cosier. We ordered olives while we were waiting for food to arrive, starters were samosas for me and spring rolls for my partner, they tasted good not very spicy and were presented well with a little bowl of tomato/ sweet chilli ? sauce. Theres quite an extensive menu, and we managed to find a few choices for vegetarians, I had pumpkin stirfry, and my companion had tofu & vegetable curry, the mains were presented well with a portion of rice on the side.I prefered the taste of the curry to the pumpkin stirfry, and would order that next time.We ordered 1 dessert and 2 coffees,2 glasses of wine and 2 bottles of beer. The bill was 60 euro, I think this is a nice restaurant, with friendly staff, decent portions, and is a another great addition to the Abbey st. area if you were looking for dinner before going to the cinema or theatre etc.

Cafe Manila is one of the best value places in town. Its lunch menu consists of a buffet. While they don't have a huge range of choices the food is flavoursome and tastes freshly cooked. Last Tuesday was no exception. My partner and I had the lunch buffet. Delicious soup followed by fried rice with a vegetable stew and port stir-fry (I don't remember the names of the dishes but everything was delicious). The service was very friendly and as we have been there quite a few times they offered us free dessert. I don't recall having ever received such friendly service in a buffet style restaurant. This is a place I will visit again and again.

Cafe Manila is a great place for tasty food before the theatre or cinema.The cafe is bright and cheerful, but it's not the sort of place to spend an evening. The service is very friendly and prompt, and as you can see all the food being prepared in the kitchen, there is good honesty in the food.I haven't eaten in many filipino restaurants, but to my taste buds this is very authentic food at a very reasonable price.Deep fried gambas starter,sizzling plate of prawns maincourse, and a traditional dessert, all washed down with two quarter bottles of wine for under 40 euro, and I was out within an hour.Impressive.
