Alba Restaurante Español — Restaurant in Muntinlupa

Another restaurant that deserves better than a but not quite a 4 so 3.5 is my overall score.

Located in Alabang Westgate an interesting location with a wide choice of F&B offerings. You end up paying for parking yet there is no formal parking - which is not a promising start and yes it only cost 50php for the period we was at the restaurant. We visited on a Tuesday and parking was a challenge so not sure what it would be like at the weekend.

The restaurant itself as both outdoor and indoor seating and there is a theming behind it, which helped with the atmosphere / ambiance but it seemed like it was missing something and the fake flowers on the table did not help.

At the table we was presented with a basket of bread which seemed fresh and was a good start to the food.

The menu is typically Spanish and the charges are reasonable but the House Salad for the charge was overpriced.

I followed this up with an equivalent of a spicy Caldereta - sadly not sure where the spice was. The meat itself seemed to be of good quality to start with, but as I went on the quality dismissed.

At the table we had a Paella which was better than a previous location we had visited and the remaining dishes were OK.

The washrooms was a shared location and whilst it had a reasonable smell - it seemed like it needed refreshing and the dark walls did not help.

WOULD I RECOMMEND? - YES give it a go

07/08/25. Spanish🇪🇦 Despedida Brunch with friends.

Alba is one of our Go To restaurants for fine food and top notch service.

GOOD: Complimentary starter bread basket with rolls and baguette slices was served hot and fragrant. Ensalada del Caezar was served on chilled plates... Very proper rarely experienced in restaurants these days. Hot Tapas were delicious together with warm bread. Paella Valenciana as always...a crowd pleaser. Service was top notch. Not intrusive but always ready to refill water as necessary. Changed plate and changed cutlery when main course was served.

COULD BE IMPROVED: The New Zealand Oysters was expensive at P1750 for 6 pieces. May i suggest to make it 8 pieces.

We had a memorable and fun despedida brunch with full...
