A SECRET PLACE

Searching for 5 Loaves & 2 Fish is very easy to me since I’ve been to The Rock a couple of times already but for first timers, finding the place can be quite a struggle especially to those living outside Quezon City.

AN UPLIFTING EXPERIENCE

The place is spacious with its industrial chic interior. Inside, you’ll find words of wisdom that will definitely uplift your spirit. My favorite line I saw is this:

[su_quote cite=””]Love is like the five loaves and two fishes. It doesn’t start to multiple until you give it away.[/su_quote]

The menu is a variety of dishes ranging from Filipino to Western and Middle Eastern. For our appetizer, we had their Lavosh, an Armenian flat bread with Tomato Coriander Salsa and a choice of Chicken Liver Pate or Pesto Brulee. The taste was strange but in a good way. It’s thin and crunchy. It’s like you’re eating some chips.

For the main course, their BBQ Spareribs is sooo good. I really recommend this dish. It’s my favorite among the bunch. It’s so flavorful and soft. I can definitely eat this all day.

But wait, there’s more! One thing that I really love about this place is their cakes! I’m not a sugar person and I’m not a fan of chocolates but their cakes really got me. Faves include Dulce de Leche-Salted Caramel and Pink Guava Cheesecake which was a total surprise for me since I don’t really like guavas. The combination of the sour guava paired with the sweet cheesecake base was perfect!

Price range per slice is around Php 100-150.
