Frank & Charles

Frank & Charles started here in the Philippines with their first branch at Taytay Rizal this May 2014.

Two brother Frank and Charles menchies invented the hamburger while running out of pork for sausage sandwiches. They tried using ground beef instead and named their creation after hamburger New York where the frie country fair was being held. It all started in New York City were the owner copied the first Frank & Charles Philippine branch.

Frank and Charles serves their sumptuous burger meal with a juicy  patty and a side dish of well-cooked fries. A self-service fast food chain has their all time favorite of the Filipinos which is the word "unlimited" Yes it is! A drink all you can where you can just add 45 pesos. Very affordable, isn't it? This is a must try food dishes!

Filio Bistro

Good Grub this Season

My family likes to get together and eat in a restaurant with comfort food at a reasonable price. Like my group of friends, we're always on a lookout for a good place to hang out and chill. So this Christmas Season, if you are still deciding on where to eat, and if your family or friends are like mine, I suggest you head on over to Filio Bistro.

Very home-y interior of Filio Bistro

Filio Bistro is one of the newest coffee shops in Antipolo, and they are located at HI-5 Arcade, Sumulong Memorial Circle, Brgy. San Jose, Antipolo City, Rizal. It's not a big place but the ambience is inviting and enough to be comfortable. Aside from the indoor and outdoor dining areas, they also have a function room that you can reserve for birthdays, gatherings, corporate functions and other events. Their decorations remind me of 70's Bistro in Quezon City, another place that I love.

Filio bistro's interior

Last week, I and friends went there to kill some time while waiting for the others to pick us up. Aside from a typical freshly-brewed coffee, their selection mostly consists of American dishes, like mouth-watering ribs, burgers, pasta, coffee and dessert. Most dishes are good for 2-3 people and the prices are affordable.

Cozy Conference Room

Baked goodies that they offer

We tried some of their dishes, and we can safely say that the food is as good as the ones being served in T.G.I. Fridays. We unanimously agreed that all the food we tasted are "masarap" and "sakto lang sa budget". Here are some of the pictures of the dishes that we tried:

FISH AND CHIPS 

JUICY and CHEESY BURGER

Juicy and Cheesy burger served with TLC with your choice of dip (garlic mayo, honey mustard, barbecue sauce, cheese, ranch, and mayonnaise)

S'MORES

The s'mores has a crust and layered with chocolate brownies that gets melty and roasty marshmallows on top of it.  This is the s'mores everyone is always drooling and wanting for more!
