DiCoFi — Restaurant in Makati

It’s a small Vietnamese restaurant in Salcedo Village, Makati, which I would categorize as a hidden gem since it’s situated at the back of an old condo(Valero Plaza) on San Agustin St, which is a minor, back alley” type of road.

Anyway, the food was great. The beef noodle soup (Phò), Lemon Grass Stirfry, Pizza, and their beef sizzling-type dish with a sunny side egg on top (can’t remember the name) were all excellent.

Their Matcha Latte, and even more so their coconut milk coffee, were excellent too. Better than any coffee that big, established coffee shops like Starbucks offer. Definitely a must-try for coffee connoisseurs.

The owner (who happened to drop by when we’re dining there) was quite friendly. When we we’re already leaving, she approached my mom and mother-in-law, chatted with them and thanked them for eating at her restaurant. The staff, though, seemed to be lacking in enthusiasm and energy a bit. No big deal really, but would have been nicer if she tried a little bit harder to be more friendly. But overall, she was ok.

Regarding parking: during weekdays, especially at daytime, you might be hard-pressed to...

Atlas! After so many years has passed. Lol. We finally made it. 🤗 A simple, nice Vietnamese resto that offers delicious nd affordable foods. At first, I didn't expect that there were food. Because their signage says vietnamese coffee and shakes. But when we ordered their Vietnamese pizza 👌 yummy! And fresh spring rolls 👌 that only costs 180php. 9pcs. Right?! The dip was great. I thought their Vietnamese pizza was an omelette, but when I tasted it.. wow.. it was a different dish. Must try. Simple yet yummy! And yeah, their Vietnamese coffee, uhmmm 🔥 must try!!

It is a hidden gem in Makati. Thank goodness there's google map, so youcan locate this one. I hope they will relocate into a bigger location or to an easy spot. But I assure you, its a great place.. also reading some of the reviews here I guess their other food is also good.

Not sure if they have a restroom 🚻 But I guess so, there's a backdoor.

They also have a water dispenser.

Will be coming...

Although the place itself is simple and modestly set up, I find myself coming back from time to time because of their food and drinks. This is the only place I know, so far, that serves Vietnamese sticky rice. Most Vietnamese places I've been to in the Philippines seem to serve the typical banh mi, pho, and the like, so DiCofi offering this dish is a plus for me. Their coffee is strong and sweet - good ol' standard Vietnamese coffee. I guess it's not surprising at all considering that the owners are Vietnamese. It's as authentic as it can possibly be!

4/5 stars only though since their air conditioner hardly does a decent job cooling...
