White Fence Cafe has a small focused menu on both Filipino staples and western favorites, which cater to both their local patrons and tourists. Their simple yet flavorful dishes are great to be enjoyed at any time of the day.

As they’ve been in operation for long, the restaurant has been known for its pizza and pasta choices. One of which is their fully loaded Seafood Pizza made with shrimp, squid, garlic, mozzarella cheese, and parsley.

Try their Pasta Bolognese sided with a big slice of french bread! This dish is one of White Fence’s local favorites and tastes meaty and heavy that one could have this on the side while working or chatting through interesting topics.
