Umpay's Resto Cafe — Restaurant in Liliw

We went here yesterday with the kids and the experience was worth the long drive!

Food We had the Nutella Brick Toast and it was a big hit esp sa mga kids, definitely a must-try, it's huge as well and can be shared by 4!! The Troops fried chicken almost tastes like chicken bagnet. But personally I enjoyed their pasta the most especially the White Tartufo, its olive oil and tartufo flavors are authentic and sharp.

Travel and Parking It was roughly a 1.5 hours drive from Cabuyao proper, dadaan ka sa bundok, and we experienced moderate to heavy traffic for a Saturday on Liliw's main road. While there was no traffic on the streets to the pinned location, be advised that the streets are slopy and narrow.

Payment They do accept Gcash, PayMaya and Debit/Credit card payments so no worries if ma-short sa cash. Speaking of which, the pricing is quite expensive but reasonable, we spent around 2k for 2 adults and 2 kids.

Service They didn't charge service fee but the staff is sure warm and friendly. They're fast, readily available and know what the menu is.

Return Yes, we'll definitely comeback. But next time we'll visit earlier kesa past lunch so that we can still stroll around the Liliw, visit the church and underground cemetery, buy slippers...

It was late lunch when we got to this restaurant. It is a little difficult to locate since it is within a residential area with narrow roads. One thing I didn't like is there is no parking area. Its either you park along the street or somewhere in the neighborhood. The only good thing was someone will lead you to the nearest parking slot available. Since it was Black Saturday, the restaurant was crowded. There weren't enough servers and some food on the menu are no longer available. We had to wait for an hour and a half for a simple fried chicken meal to be cooked and to our disappointment, it was not even cooking at the kitchen after all the waiting!!.

The only meal that was served fast was the cheesy salmon which didn't appeal much to my palate as the salmon is no longer fresh and seemed to have been frozen for quite sometime (you will notice the color is pale and the taste is so-so).

To be fair, the salad and apple glazed pork chops were good and savory while the braised pork over rice is just okay because the meat was tender but it was so fatty!

It was probably a busy day but I could only give 1 star for table service and 2 stars for pricing of food and convenience. Hope to review this place again when it...

Awarded Restaurant in Laguna (Liliw)

After going thru the whole street of shoes in Liliw, we went here for lunch. I believe the place is somehow new but it is already the most recommended place in Liliw and was recently awarded as most outstanding restaurant.

The place could be found in a residential area so parking was a bit challenging. But I guess the management knew about it that their staff were ready to assist and greet us from parking until they gave us our seat inside the restaurant.

The place was welcoming and relaxing. It seemed to be spacious but had few tables for their customers.

While for the food, most of them were single serving so each of us had different orders. Some of us had rice meal, pasta and pork chops. And all of us loved our orders. The presentations were instagrammable and the taste was so delicious.

The experience was so good that we even had a few chats with their friendly staff. We were asked about our experience from other restaurants but here, they were more genuine and engaging. So kudos to all the staff and to the management, we really had a good time. Hope you open other branches in the future (in...
