Cafe Mamia — Restaurant in Dumaguete

My family and I dined in during Valentine's Day. They had this promo of a buffet consisting of several viands including desserts such as their cream puff (which, by the way, is my personal favorite) and drinks. This promo is at 375php per person.

It was a very wonderful dinner - the ambiance was really nice, they had candlelit tables and it was fine though the place is kinda cramped, and the music was nice in setting the mood for the event. The people serving were really great as well. I got cake for my mom and they told me nicely that I wasn't allowed to eat that there. They were also nice enough to grant my additional requests.

Nevertheless, what made me really give this a high rating is their food. They were really delicious. My favorite among the viands is the Beef Romesco. However, what made me give this 4 stars is the Baked fish. In all honesty, it tasted old. It was not fresh at all. Plus, the honey mustard did not work well for me.

Overall, great experience. The price...

With the recently reopened mamia in the restorative time of the pandemic, it hasn't changed much last time I was here and it atill has the same welcoming and chill ambience it always had.

Price : Slightly more expensive than the regular stuff you find but the taste of the food and amenities compensates for it. Food : With an operation time of 10:30 to 7:30 pm. The food in cafe Mamia will definitely meet your brunch to dinner needs. I highly suggest their popular arroz caldo and fish and chips -- No food in this place is microwaved

We ordered Pad Thai because I was craving for a Thai dish but I got completely disappointed because it doesn't taste like Pad Thai at all. The menu even boasts that it has shrimp only to find 1 piece of shrimp and the rest are tofu. It has bell pepper too so I thought it was a Pad Twist but it was completely twisted. The next one we ordered was the bacon grilled cheese. When we tasted it, it tastes nothing but onion. You won't even taste the cheese and the bacon are just tid bits placed on the edges of the sandwich to make it look like it is full of bacon. When we opened it, it's just filled with onion. The chocolate smoothy tastes like spoiled drink like it has been left overnight mixed with shaved ice. The service is very slow and had to make multiple follow ups for the order. They also do not accept cards. Definitely not...
