\"\"Caf\u00e9 Fleur is\u00a0located inside a traditional ancestral house that celebrates everything the city represents<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

From Celebrity Chef Sau del Rosario comes\u00a0Kapampangan<\/em>\u00a0delicacies\u00a0crafted using techniques and twists to create deconstructed dishes. As the culinary capital of the Philippines, Pampanga is the home to many iconic Filipino dishes such as Kare-Kare and Tamales Caf\u00e9 Fleur.<\/p>\n

\"\"Ube Macapuno Cheesecake (Php 175) and\u00a0Ube Macapuno (Php 175) made from organic ingredients and flowers from their own backyard<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What puts the ‘fleur’ in Caf\u00e9 Fleur is Chef Sau’s use of local ingredients, market-fresh meat, and most importantly, their garden-grown edible flowers and vegetables. Their favorites are the Butterfly Pea flower and the Lemon Gem marigold that\u00a0are almost always used as a garnish in their dishes.<\/p>\n

\"\"Tamales Caf\u00e9 Fleur (Php 275) becomes a gourmet dish paired with pandesal bread<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Tamales is a Mexican-inspired rice flour delicacy that Filipinos have adapted and is commonly seen being sold by street peddlers. With this in mind, they have the Tamales Cafe Fleur (Php 275)<\/strong>, which is their modern take on the snack.<\/p>\n

\"\"Crispy Pork Belly Truffled Macadamia Kare-Kare (Php 445) is a deconstructed dish that is also a twist on the local stew<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 Fleur’s Kare-Kare (Php 445)<\/strong> includes a very creamy truffle macadamia sauce, soft boiled vegetables, and crispy pork belly cuts in a meal that is exciting to eat as it is to look at. The macadamia serves as a great switch to the usual peanut sauce used on the dish.<\/p>\n

\"\"Watching crisp noodles melt under a hot sauce will make anyone crave for the Crispy Pancit Luglug (Php 295)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The caf\u00e9 takes it a step further with their\u00a0own version of the Filipino favorite,\u00a0pancit luglug<\/em>—Crispy Pancit Luglug (Php 295)<\/strong>\u00a0boasts fried rice noodles softly melting under the hot shrimp paste. This special dish is topped with chicharon and vegetables for that extra texture to a savory dish.<\/p>\n

\"\"Start your day with the Kimchi Tapa Fried Rice with Fried Egg (Php 255) available from Caf\u00e9 Fleur’s breakfast menu<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Deconstructions, twists, and now a fusion of two Asian dishes in one bowl is the Kimchi Tapa Fried Rice with Fried Egg\u00a0(Php 255)<\/strong>. Feel the flavor of the kimchi slowly building as you continue on to work on the dish. Pair this with either the Kape Batirol (Php 175)<\/strong> or the Macchiato (Php 125)<\/strong> for the needed energy to start the day.<\/p>\n

\"\"Try their milky Macchiato (Php 125; left) or their\u00a0Kape Batirol’s (Php 175; right) chocolatey coffee for an early morning pick-me-up<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Chef Sau is also known to use ancestral houses\u00a0for his restaurants to preserve\u00a0and create a down-to-earth atmosphere. Caf\u00e9 Fleur’s interior is very comfortable enough to make it feel like home. The caf\u00e9 is located in the same house as its sister restaurant, 25 Seeds.<\/p>\n

\"\"Come to Caf\u00e9 Fleur\u00a0to\u00a0explore Kapampangan delicacies\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
