Although the name might instantly ring French, Cafe Voi La<\/strong> is an Asian-fusion restaurant born out of a traveler’s culinary discoveries around Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From the colorful picture-perfect interiors to the menu, the place is an artistic masterpiece in the form of a restaurant that will take you to a whole new level of dining experience.<\/p>\n

Its interior is adorned with colorful hanging lanterns, intricate furnishings, and decorative plants that add a playful vibe to every corner. The eclectic mix of textures and patterns such as plush armchairs, vibrant decor, and tables\u00a0 set with floral arrangements and candlelit accents give the venue a festive and romantic touch.<\/p>\n

The name of the restaurant was inspired by the Vietnamese phrase boi la<\/em>, which means to cook with leaves. They use a lot of herbs and fresh ingredients that form exciting epicurean dishes.<\/p>\n

We highly recommend Caf\u00e9 Voi La Signature Chicken Satay\u00a0<\/span>(<\/span>Php 545\/3 pieces, Php 825\/5 pieces)<\/strong> a delightful concoction of Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Cambodian flavors and spices like lemongrass, turmeric ginger, and kafir lime. Pungent flavors ooze from the skewered meat and while it is served with a special home-made peanut sauce, the meat itself creates a satisfying pleasure in the palate.<\/p>\n

The Pad Thai (Php 675) <\/strong>is a very familiar Thai dish but is an incredible discovery at Caf\u00e9 Voi La. Temptingly presented, this stir-fried noodle dish is made with a piquant sauce, grilled tofu, bean sprouts, and crushed roasted peanuts, with a slice of lemon to balance out the flavors.<\/p>\n

The Special Senator’s Salad (Php 545)<\/strong>\u00a0is made from\u00a0assorted green lettuce, paper-thin slices of smoked salmon, grilled prawns, and shitake mushroom, garnished with parmesan shavings. On the other hand, the\u00a0Seafood Curry (Php 755)<\/strong> is a mix of shrimp, salmon, and mussels in spicy curry sauce.<\/p>\n

Vegetarians and light eaters also have plenty to choose from, like the Eggplant & Shallots Casserole (Php 435)<\/strong> and the crunchy Stir-Fried Morning Glory (Php\u00a0 295)<\/strong>. Rice dishes are a highlight, with options like the flavorful Pineapple Fried Rice (Php 495)<\/strong> and the Filipino classic Bagoong Rice (Php 470)<\/strong>, perfect companions to their main dishes.<\/p>\n

For pescatarians, order their Salmon Khao Soi (Php 655)<\/strong>, a Northern Thai-inspired yellow curry and coconut cream flavored noodle soup.<\/span><\/p>\n

While their menu mainly presents a fusion of various Asian flavors, they also offer Western favorites like steaks and pizzas. <\/span>Don’t miss their Aloha Mia Surprise (Php 555)<\/strong>, a pizza topped with ham and pineapple, or the loaded Meatlovers Pizza (Php 695)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For dessert, must-orders are their Banana Caramel Souffl\u00e9 (Php 395)<\/strong> or Halo-Halo Sariling Atin (Php225)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They also have a selection of artisanal coffee that takes inspiration from different Asian countries. A hot cup of Vietnamese Latte (Php 205)<\/strong> , refreshing Lychee & Pineapple Mocktail (Php 350) <\/strong>or a tempting\u00a0 Ripe Mango Shake (Php 280) <\/strong>would make a great finale to an incredibly filling meal.<\/p>\n
