The name Westwood <\/strong>usually stands for a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. It\u2019s one of the city\u2019s more affluent areas, and is home to the University of California, Los Angeles.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you drop by the foodie haven that is Maginhawa Street in Quezon City, however, you\u2019ll find a place named Westwood that\u2019s not unlike the famed neighborhood in the city of angels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Westwood is owned by Russell Mae Canlapan, the brains behind Magpie Caf\u00e9 at StrEAT Maginhawa Food Park. While Magpie Caf\u00e9 is more of a, well, caf\u00e9, Westwood is the place for those who want to enjoy American and Asian Fusion cuisine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Westwood\u2019s best seller is their Sushirrito<\/em>. It\u2019s a combination of a sushi and a burrito that\u2019s going to make your head scratch at first, but will surely keep you coming back because of the many flavor combinations (8 in total).<\/span><\/p>\n

For health buffs, try their Westwood Garden Salad<\/em>. It\u2019s a guilt-free starter with chicken thighs, mixed greens, cucumbers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and caramelized red bell pepper topped with buttered croutons and candied walnuts, finished off with a balsamic vinaigrette.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cool down with their aptly-named <\/span>Thirst Quenchers<\/em>. These may look like they\u2019ll give you a buzz, but they\u2019re mocktails, so no need to worry. Keeping it hip, they\u2019re placed in Erlenmeyer flasks that make them all the more appealing, both for your eyes and your taste buds.<\/span><\/p>\n

A great way to end your meal at Westwood is a serving of their ice cream. It may sound bland, but they don\u2019t exactly serve ordinary ice cream. Their specialty ice creams can be served your way: by cup or specialty cone. For those who want a true American dessert experience, try it as a cookie, beignet, or cereal sandwich.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can find Westwood at 80 Maginhawa Street, Teacher\u2019s Village, Quezon City. For reservations, drop them a line at 02-435-0619. They\u2019re open from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. Follow them on Facebook (Westwood<\/a>) and on Instagram (@westwoodph<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n
