Cafe Lidia

The food was great especially the pizza and carbonara, but the other carbonara is kinda sweet I forgot the name of the dish. Also the pork I ordered was more on fats rather than meat. House salad are quite common. There's a lot of staff that time and less customer but still no initiative to refill our water, so I went to the bar to refill our watersss . Thats all..

Food is great Place is very clean Music back ground good Price is reasonable

The name says it's a cafe, but the atmosphere felt more like a family restaurant. When I ate here on a holiday morning, there were a lot of other customers, mostly in groups and families. The food was very tasty and had a very rich flavor, and the service and interior ambiance were great. The food I ordered had a very rich, umami flavor that most Filipinos would appreciate. The Beef Salpicao was really tasty. The beef was very tender and soft, although a bit oily. The vegetables were cooked just right. The Chicken Angelito was delicious, but very creamy. The chicken itself had a good texture. I really liked the mushroom soup. It was served hot and delicious. The mashed potato was decent. Their service was great. Despite having so many customers, they served our order surprisingly fast. The staff were also nice and attentive. The ambiance was also great. There were a lot of seats and customers, but it didn't feel cramped. The atmosphere was more like a family restaurant than a cafe, which made it feel comfortable. Overall, this is a great place to eat with your family or friends, especially for groups.

Great service and homey ambiance (a bit dated). We loved the buffalo wings, garlic trio pizza, and honey butter drizzled chicken and chips. Rib eye steak and tenderloin were so-so but affordable. Caramel fizz was too sweet. Decent amount of parking.

Restaurant that offers a wide variety of flavors. The food are delicious and affordable compared to others.

Café Lydia has long been a staple in Marikina City, and it’s easy to see why. Despite their popularity over the years, the service and quality have remained consistently excellent. We arrived about an hour before their last call and were a bit worried that we might not be entertained anymore. To our surprise, the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. The service was superb—our orders started arriving one by one just 5 to 10 minutes after being placed. The ambiance also deserves a special mention. It has that cozy, homey feeling. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, Café Lydia always feels like a familiar, comforting place to dine.
