Art Circle — Restaurant in Quezon City

Art Circle Café in UP Diliman is more than just a place to grab a bite, it’s a whole experience. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted not just by the aroma of comfort food but also by an atmosphere that feels like a beautiful creative hug.

The vibe? Absolutely on point. Whether looking for a quiet corner to reflect, chat with friends, or immerse yourself in art, this café has the perfect mood: calm, inspiring, and just artsy enough to make you feel like you're part of a living gallery.

Food-wise, there are plenty of choices. I personally went for the Chicken Mami, and wow — it hit the spot! Packed with ingredients, flavorful broth, and served hot, it was the perfect companion for the cloudy, chilly day I visited. It felt like being cared for in a bowl.

Each item seems thoughtfully placed and adds to the café’s soulful charm. Everything feels intentional, expressive, and curated well.

The furnishing choices serve themselves to complement the art. The waiting time wasn't a concern for me because I was able to browse the artwork. Its worth coming here even just for admiring the art. Some people come here to chat with their friends in big groups, and the seating lends itself...
