2 for 1 at Romulo Café and Restaurant

With restaurants spanning across several continents, Romulo Café and Restaurant now comes to London, bringing the unsung hero of oriental food; Filipino cuisine.

Inspired by the legacy of the renowned former President of the United Nations General Assembly General Carlos P. Romulo, his granddaughter, Sandie Romulo Squillantini, first opened a Romulo Café in Manila in 2009, and the runaway success of the restaurants is sure to be repeated in the London dining scene.

With an four distinct dining areas all created by Design Director Karen Soriano and the kitchen filled with passionate chefs guided by the gifted Chef Lorenzo, Romulo Café and Restaurant is a restaurant that is sure to provide an exquisite experience with each visit.

Members who call in advance with their tastecard can enjoy the sumptuous fare served at a splendid price, making it nigh on impossible to think of a reason not to enjoy something from each section of the menu.

Start the feast with one of the fantastic appetisers, such as the enchanting Bangus Pate, a smoked milkfish spread enriched with orange puree and caviar, the traditional Patotim, a steamed bun filled with slow cooked duck, and the eclectic ensemble that is The General’s Combo Platter, which offers a tantalising taste of various starters; perfect for starting a group meal.

The main event features a concise, yet carefully crafted, list of delectable dishes to choose between. Particularly noteworthy choices include the rich Lola Virginia’s Chicken Relleno, a roasted chicken stuffed with ground pork, chorizo and raisins, the sublime Binagoongang Pata, a deboned crispy pork leg with a tomato shrimp sauce and aubergine salsa, and the heavenly Lola Felisa’s Canton, a refreshing medley of crispy canton noodles with shitake mushrooms and babycorn.

Also offering a wealth of divine desserts, diners visiting Romulo Café shan’t leave disappointed.

    Knowing absolutely nothing about Filipino food I was a little apprehensive about going to the Romulo Café however, I needn't have been.

    The food was delicious - the fresh vegetable wrap starter was amazing, and the beef ribs just melted in one's mouth - , the service polite, attentive, but unobtrusive, and there was no problem with using Tastecard, even though we didn't have any alcohol. And as an added bonus, despite the last minute notice, they got us through three courses but with plenty of time to amble down to an evening event nearby.

    I would highly recommend Romulo Café, with or without the discount. What a great introduction to Filipino food. "

    Ingredients need to be fully disclosed. As some people may be allergic to certain foods. Need to have a menu for children if they are aiming to be a family-oriented restaurant. Overall we've received a mediocre service. I did try to ask to speak to the owner, but was told she was too busy. Foods was hit and miss if am honest. Bit of disclaimer, apart from being Filipino myself, I am no food critic. "

    Me and my husband loves sisig and we were so excited to see it on the menu. We were so surprised when the dish arrived as it was in a very small portion, cold with egg on top which looks like it was cooked yesterday. I asked the waitress and she said it was meant to be cold - would have been nice if she informed us from the beginning it was meant to be like that! Who would like to eat cold sisig/fat?!!!
    The price is a little bit expensive for the size portion using taste card helped a lot, though using taste card you would need to order dishes that are good for 4 even if it was just 2 of us!
    Kare-kare is not bad but the meat can be made more tender.
    Pandesal was great! We had a take away and I thought it was the best pandesal I've ever had for a while. "

    " Today was my second time at Café Romelo. The first time I came with a large group and the service was immaculate. The food was well prepared and served hot, the servers were very attentive, and the ambiance was wonderful. The manager made sure everything ran smoothly and carefully explained the terms of the Taste Card. She was so professional that I thought she was the owner. Today I visited again after having had such wonderful time on my previous visit. I was graciously greeted by the host and throughout my time there I had the opportunity to chat with the owner and manager. Everyone made sure I enjoyed my meal and that I was well taken care of. What made it even more special was that it was my birthday, so I could not have picked a better place to enjoy a nice dinner. Café Romelo is the epitome of service! "

    Went there for lunch with my husband and toddler. We had crispy pata, sinigang, adobo rice, garlic fried rice, turon and sansrival for dessert. I love the mains and rice! This is Coming from a filipino too! Really tasty, big serving and presentation was very good. I didnt like the calamansi juice though, it taste like soda rather than a healthy juice as its supposed to be. Sansrival was also meh. Staff are very nice. I agree though that the 50p charity charge was weird! And we got charged 2.50 for bottle water although we only got tap! I inly noticed it after we left the resto. "

    " We booked this restaurant on the day for a large group. We ordered the starter only then to be approached by the owner (??) who then tried her very best to coerce us into ordering less. We were told that the dishes were so big that we only had to order eight for a group of eleven people. She spoke to four people at our table and told a different story every time. She tried everything she could to not honour the taste 241
    We decided to order our own main dishes and a few of us were shocked at what we received. As she had not gotten her way in persuading us to order less we received tiny portions of what should have been a sharing platter for supposedly two people. I received three small ribs at a cost of nearly £18 with a tiny bowl of coleslaw, no sides. Without the taste card this would have been unacceptable.
    The waiting staff were good, the food average and the owner/host absolutely shameful, hovering over our table trying to change our minds was not acceptable.
    This restaurant was such a let down. Don't subscribe to the taste scheme if you are not going to honour it.
    I will not be going back to this restaurant. "

    Really liked the Romulo Cafe. The flavours and textures were not like any I'd had in a restaurant before. The portions are huge. The mains really are sharing size and I'm a big eater! This makes it exceptional value as well as being delicious. I'll be back because I was so full from my starter and main I didn't get to try one of their inventive desserts. Definitely give it a go but make sure you take an appetite! "

    Reading reviews on here I was excited to go to this place with my friends.
    We went with the intention to use the tastecard, but most of he dishes are the 'sharing platters' that the tastecard does not apply to, we have been told. The rest of the 'single dihes' were all with nuddles and it was about 5 options to choose from...
    The quality of food was terrible! We ordered 2 sharing platters: chicken stuffed with pork and roast chicken, then crispy squid, garlic fried rice and sweet potato fries. The 'crispy squid' did not even look like it: it appeared as some sort of curly fries and tasted like plastic wire covered in batter saturated with oil. One on the chicken dishes was OK but served cold and the other tasted bitter. Everything was covered with oil even the rice!
    But the real surprise was at the end! We got the bill to discover they charged us £0.50 for some charity, without asking our permission plus 12.50 % of the service charge!!
    I was so embarrassed in front of my friends and did not want to argue with the staff so we just paid but it left me with the feeling of massive disappointment!
    I think the Tastecard should take the ' Romulus Cafe' out of their offer as it is pointless!
    Avoid this place!! "

In all honesty I did not have huge expectations as I thought this place was a cafe and that the food would be the usual semi edible cafe fare. I was very wrong, on all counts.
    As we entered the meticulously clean, tastefully decorated premises we were welcomed by the manager and sat to our table. The list of cocktails is impressive and so is the way that they serve them. We had a starter each and two sharing mains. The food was beautifully served, tasted really delicious and the service was great.The portions are really generous and in spite of stuffing myself to within an inch of my life I could not finish my chicken.
    Above all the service was excellent. Highly reccomend this place. "

    " Visited Romulo Cafe recently for dinner and it was a a very enjoyable experience. The food was both delicious and interesting, and with Tastecard the bill was more than reasonable. Our visit was made exceptional by the manager, who found time for every diner and had a warm & convivial manner. I had a cocktail which was beautifully presented, and we were offered help with choosing the dishes from the menu. Judging from the website, the restaurant is one of the four - the other three based in Philippines, so I'd guess that the food is authentic. It definitely tastes good! Although the restaurant is far from my home area, I intend to return time and again because both me and my dining companion had such an amazing time. Highly recommended! "

    We decided to visit this restaurant because of the promo leaflet given out at the recent concert of a Filipino rock singer. We didn't know until we got there that it accepted tastecard. As walk-in customers, it was understandable that they would not accept tastecard without a booking but my husband and I were hungry and had the 20% discount promo anyway! So I would suggest making a booking in advance if you're going to use your tastecard! They won't accept a walk-in tastecard especially on a Saturday!

    The staff were wonderful! All in comfortable casual uniform! I asked about their specialities! We were recommended the crispy beef short ribs, crispy pata, pork sisig and tinapa roll! The pandesal (bread) was to die for! Just loved it. No charge for that! San Miguel beer is a must for every Filipino man :-). Hubby had two bottles whilst I had the Imelda cocktail. Good presentation of food! Will visit again and try other food next time. Have already recommended to my friends and relatives! Some may find it a little pricey without tastecard! "

    Ingredients need to be fully disclosed. As some people may be allergic to certain foods. Need to have a menu for children if they are aiming to be a family-oriented restaurant. Overall we've received a mediocre service. I did try to ask to speak to the owner, but was told she was too busy. Foods was hit and miss if am honest. Bit of disclaimer, apart from being Filipino myself, I am no food critic. "

  • Gram said: "So So
    Me and my husband loves sisig and we were so excited to see it on the menu. We were so surprised when the dish arrived as it was in a very small portion, cold with egg on top which looks like it was cooked yesterday. I asked the waitress and she said it was meant to be cold - would have been nice if she informed us from the beginning it was meant to be like that! Who would like to eat cold sisig/fat?!!!
    The price is a little bit expensive for the size portion using taste card helped a lot, though using taste card you would need to order dishes that are good for 4 even if it was just 2 of us!
    Kare-kare is not bad but the meat can be made more tender.
    Pandesal was great! We had a take away and I thought it was the best pandesal I've ever had for a while. "

    " Today was my second time at Café Romelo. The first time I came with a large group and the service was immaculate. The food was well prepared and served hot, the servers were very attentive, and the ambiance was wonderful. The manager made sure everything ran smoothly and carefully explained the terms of the Taste Card. She was so professional that I thought she was the owner. Today I visited again after having had such wonderful time on my previous visit. I was graciously greeted by the host and throughout my time there I had the opportunity to chat with the owner and manager. Everyone made sure I enjoyed my meal and that I was well taken care of. What made it even more special was that it was my birthday, so I could not have picked a better place to enjoy a nice dinner. Café Romelo is the epitome of service! "

  • Poofy said: "Good Food
    Went there for lunch with my husband and toddler. We had crispy pata, sinigang, adobo rice, garlic fried rice, turon and sansrival for dessert. I love the mains and rice! This is Coming from a filipino too! Really tasty, big serving and presentation was very good. I didnt like the calamansi juice though, it taste like soda rather than a healthy juice as its supposed to be. Sansrival was also meh. Staff are very nice. I agree though that the 50p charity charge was weird! And we got charged 2.50 for bottle water although we only got tap! I inly noticed it after we left the resto. "

    " We booked this restaurant on the day for a large group. We ordered the starter only then to be approached by the owner (??) who then tried her very best to coerce us into ordering less. We were told that the dishes were so big that we only had to order eight for a group of eleven people. She spoke to four people at our table and told a different story every time. She tried everything she could to not honour the taste 241
    We decided to order our own main dishes and a few of us were shocked at what we received. As she had not gotten her way in persuading us to order less we received tiny portions of what should have been a sharing platter for supposedly two people. I received three small ribs at a cost of nearly £18 with a tiny bowl of coleslaw, no sides. Without the taste card this would have been unacceptable.
    The waiting staff were good, the food average and the owner/host absolutely shameful, hovering over our table trying to change our minds was not acceptable.
    This restaurant was such a let down. Don't subscribe to the taste scheme if you are not going to honour it.
    I will not be going back to this restaurant. "

    Really liked the Romulo Cafe. The flavours and textures were not like any I'd had in a restaurant before. The portions are huge. The mains really are sharing size and I'm a big eater! This makes it exceptional value as well as being delicious. I'll be back because I was so full from my starter and main I didn't get to try one of their inventive desserts. Definitely give it a go but make sure you take an appetite! "

  • Grazyna said: "Expect to be left with the 'bitter taste'
    Reading reviews on here I was excited to go to this place with my friends.
    We went with the intention to use the tastecard, but most of he dishes are the 'sharing platters' that the tastecard does not apply to, we have been told. The rest of the 'single dihes' were all with nuddles and it was about 5 options to choose from...
    The quality of food was terrible! We ordered 2 sharing platters: chicken stuffed with pork and roast chicken, then crispy squid, garlic fried rice and sweet potato fries. The 'crispy squid' did not even look like it: it appeared as some sort of curly fries and tasted like plastic wire covered in batter saturated with oil. One on the chicken dishes was OK but served cold and the other tasted bitter. Everything was covered with oil even the rice!
    But the real surprise was at the end! We got the bill to discover they charged us £0.50 for some charity, without asking our permission plus 12.50 % of the service charge!!
    I was so embarrassed in front of my friends and did not want to argue with the staff so we just paid but it left me with the feeling of massive disappointment!
    I think the Tastecard should take the ' Romulus Cafe' out of their offer as it is pointless!
    Avoid this place!! "

    " This is a hidden gem and I am very happy to have discovered. We were on our way to see a play and decided to try this place out. In all honesty I did not have huge expectations as I thought this place was a cafe and that the food would be the usual semi edible cafe fare. I was very wrong, on all counts.
    As we entered the meticulously clean, tastefully decorated premises we were welcomed by the manager and sat to our table. The list of cocktails is impressive and so is the way that they serve them. We had a starter each and two sharing mains. The food was beautifully served, tasted really delicious and the service was great.The portions are really generous and in spite of stuffing myself to within an inch of my life I could not finish my chicken.
    Above all the service was excellent. Highly reccomend this place. "

    " Visited Romulo Cafe recently for dinner and it was a a very enjoyable experience. The food was both delicious and interesting, and with Tastecard the bill was more than reasonable. Our visit was made exceptional by the manager, who found time for every diner and had a warm & convivial manner. I had a cocktail which was beautifully presented, and we were offered help with choosing the dishes from the menu. Judging from the website, the restaurant is one of the four - the other three based in Philippines, so I'd guess that the food is authentic. It definitely tastes good! Although the restaurant is far from my home area, I intend to return time and again because both me and my dining companion had such an amazing time. Highly recommended! "

  • Bebe said: "Good Food!
    We decided to visit this restaurant because of the promo leaflet given out at the recent concert of a Filipino rock singer. We didn't know until we got there that it accepted tastecard. As walk-in customers, it was understandable that they would not accept tastecard without a booking but my husband and I were hungry and had the 20% discount promo anyway! So I would suggest making a booking in advance if you're going to use your tastecard! They won't accept a walk-in tastecard especially on a Saturday!

    The staff were wonderful! All in comfortable casual uniform! I asked about their specialities! We were recommended the crispy beef short ribs, crispy pata, pork sisig and tinapa roll! The pandesal (bread) was to die for! Just loved it. No charge for that! San Miguel beer is a must for every Filipino man :-). Hubby had two bottles whilst I had the Imelda cocktail. Good presentation of food! Will visit again and try other food next time. Have already recommended to my friends and relatives! Some may find it a little pricey without tastecard! "
