A BS Nutrition graduate of University of the Philippines Los Ba\u00f1os (UPLB), the owner\/cook was largely influenced by her mother\u2019s home cooking that made her use their personal and family-developed recipes for the restaurant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Faustina\u2019s is situated in a contemporary, low-rise establishment that exudes a traditional Filipino restaurant\u00a0ambiance. In fact, the owner personally designed the place by adding minimalist decorations and light fixtures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-25156\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/09\/IMG_6751-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/09\/IMG_6751.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/09\/IMG_6751-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/09\/IMG_6751-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/09\/IMG_6751-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><em><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">\u00a0Outdoor seating is available<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-25162\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/09\/IMG_6797-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/09\/IMG_6797.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/09\/IMG_6797-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/09\/IMG_6797-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/09\/IMG_6797-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\"><em>The restaurant has this soothing ambiance that makes your stay a great one<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">However, the\u00a0interiors are not the very reason of diners for stopping by but the tempting and mouthwatering food the restaurant offers.
