Cristina's Kitchen and Cafe — Restaurant in Rizal

Long and honest review...not to bash so no offense meant. Ambiance : Somewhat instragrammable, cozy but needs to cool the place up. The place was clean esp particular with restroom which was very nuce Accessibility: it would be great if the elevator was working Food choices : 1.kare kare is very good as it is also their best choice...agreeing that it is their best food Sisig is nothing special plus serving is not generous; Sinigang is ok but the taste was at salty side rather sour then the serving is same as sisig's; Barbeque is not for us. The pork is tender and juicy but tye flavor was bland..needed to incorporate the salsa, achara and cabbage as side dish otherwise sayang. Nothing special sa cakes, we ordered the caramel-chocolate and blueberry cheesecake ...except that it is on a pricey side with no exceptional distinction with other cafes. Service: Attentive staff. You have to be patient since you have to wait as prep.time was true to its advise, 20-30 mins (less busy pa during our visit) Overall, the...

BEST KARE-KARE I’VE HAD!!!! If you’re a Kare-Kare fanatic like me, you should try this one from Cristina’s Kitchen x Café. It was an absolute delight! The sauce was perfectly creamy and rich, with a wonderful depth of flavor. The meat was incredibly tender and fell apart with ease. The vegetables were crunchy and were perfectly cooked. The smokey taste from the fried eggplant added extra flavor too! The bagoong on the side was the perfect finishing touch, bringing everything together. Not too sweet, not too salty.

The portion was generous!! Sobrang nakakabusog! It’s clear that they use top-quality ingredients, and the authentic Filipino flavors shine through in every bite. Swear!! Learned that they use cashews instead of peanuts as well which is a big plus!!!

If you’re craving Kare Kare, I highly recommend giving it a try here – it’s definitely one of the best Kare-Kares I’ve had! Truly a comforting dish! Yay!

Thank you so much, Chef Chad, for the Kare Kare...

Went here with the family before we do groceries at Shopwise. It was a Saturday night and there was live acoustic performance that compliments our experience. Food was really great! Was about to order the bagnet kare-kare if I correctly remember but mom want the classic ox tail kare-kare and luckily they have it!

Ordered lechon de carajay, lumpiang Antipolo, garlic rice, cashew and pomelo salad, and the Ox tail kare-kare.

For the drinks we tried Mango Sago, Cristina Cafe Latte, and Sago't Kapelaman.

For the dessert, we had the Maja blanca pie.

My favorite would be the Lechon de Carajay. The Maja pie was more of like macapuno and has a super creamy filling. Was just a bit disappointed that the pastry crust is not on the crunchy side. But overall we still enjoyed it! Glad to see that it is going 10...
