L'Epicerie Gourmande Molito — Restaurant in Muntinlupa

It was a lovely dining experience. Calm and cozy environment, wide selection of food and beverage and warm service from Ms. Cleo.

We tried their:

Homemade Quiche with Mushrooms 7/10 very delish but i was kinda disappointed because the actual food was different from the photo in the menu. I'll probably try the salmon next time.

Hummus 9/10 really reminds me of middle east! The texture is just right and the taste is perfect! Btw, they served this as an appetizer so dont get shookt if you see a tiny bite size kubus on the side instead of the regular ones.

Cheese and Cold Cuts 10/10 with the help of Ms. Cleo. I don't wanna get full since we are going to have a dinner afterwards so I just asked her if she can recommend me something light from the selections, and she did great. ** Salami milano - the flavor is medium to strong. I love the aftertaste of smokey aged flavor of the salami. ** Emmental Cheese - Just the right amount of bitterness that compliments the salami.

Truffle Fries 10/10 i swear! Their truffle mayo is really fantastic!

For the beverage:

Sangria, Cabernet Sauvignon and Strawberry fruitshake. 8/10 im just wondering why they served my sauvignon chilled tho.

Will surely visit again...

Bad customer service! Wish you didn’t accept customers when it was past midnight na if you cannot accommodate it until your closing time. When we ordered drinks, we asked for water. You gave us water 30 minutes after or longer (we’re already outside). We understand if the place is busy, but no. We asked for lemon, it also took 30 mins. You asked us to move outside as the place is near the closing time, but we can still drink. We moved. But 10 minutes later, you closed your outdoor light. It’s not your closing time yet and there’s a customer outside which I cannot understand why did that. You can ask us to finish our drink, but the staff choose to be rude that way. When you gave us the lemon and water, we also asked for a plastic cup, so we could go as we knew it is near your closing time and we were not even half done with our drink. We received nothing. When we decided to leave as we felt like we’re waiting for nothing and already feeling bad, the staff still had the audacity to say that there was no need to bring what we requested as we were already leaving in a sarcastic way when we been waiting for it for 20mins or longer. Never I have experienced this kind of treatment in a...

(Update 12/4/2022) Finally went back, but not to the 2nd floor section that I promised I'd try out (not even sure they've gone back to having live music since pandemic restrictions were lifted). I got an outside table that's actually on one of the Molito Park walkways and ordered the beef salpicao. Highly recommended, especially if you're looking for pulutan (bar chow).

(Original Post Nov. 10, 2019) A great restaurant with good food and a cozy ambiance. It's pricey for the average Pinoy out and about on a weekend, but just right if you're at least middle class, or have an occasion to celebrate or a special date. Tonight was my first time here, so I suspect I might even revise my 4-star rating upwards once I try more of their dishes. The helpful waitress also told me that they have a mezzanine bar that is open till 2:00 a.m. on Fri. and Sat., (last order at 1:00 a.m.) with some live acoustic music, so I'm definitely...
