"Went here on a Friday night with my sister after our nail appointment next door, and WOW what an unexpected gem. I’m mostly pescatarian/vegetarian, so I was thrilled with the menu selection. I honestly wanted to try everything, but since it was already around 8 PM and later than our usual dinner, we kept it light and fresh with the Tinolang Tahong (tons of local veggies! Clams and Mussels) and Kinilaw na Tanguige (w/ minced shallots and beautifully shaved cucumbers, and sprinkled maybe w/ some Japanese togarashi/red pepper?). Both dishes were absolutely phenomenal, easily the best meal I’ve had in my two-week trip to the Philippines. It’s rare to get protein rich dishes that are light and full of fresh veggies, opposite from the usual grilled/fried staples ;) The vegetables were cut so precisely, the presentation was beautiful, and the flavors… chef’s kiss! Move over, Michelin Guide PH 2025, this spot is coming for you. The space feels like Antipolo’s best-kept secret, intimate, thoughtful, and clearly run with passion. P.S. We also ordered fresh fruit juices/smoothies and requested them on the less-sweet side. The server gladly accommodated, and they came out just right. Already planning my next visit. Highly, highly recommend!"

"Today, I tried the Salmon Aligue Pasta and the Palabok Negra of Cristina’s Kitchen and Café in Antipolo. Legit, parehas masarap! I’m excited to try their other dishes. They serve Filipino food, coffee, cocktails, and many more. It’s near the Antipolo church and in front of Shopwise. Work-friendly Wi-Fi Sockets Lots of Parking Slots Super friendly staff"

"This is one of those places that instantly feels comforting. The highlight for me was their Laing Cream Cheese Pizza — sobrang unique. You get that familiar earthy, slightly spicy laing flavor, but balanced so well with the creaminess of the cheese. Hindi siya weird combo, it actually works beautifully and feels very Filipino but elevated. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the staff were genuinely warm, which made the whole experience even better. Plus, the ambiance is relaxing and cozy — perfect for slow meals, catch-ups, or a chill weekend brunch. Definitely a place I’d come back to."

"Spacious, comfortable, and family-friendly — ideal for dining together.” An enjoyable dine-in experience with attentive service and well-prepared meals.”"

"Cristina's Kitchen and Café in Antipolo City is a well-loved local spot known for its warm, welcoming ambiance and a diverse menu that combines classic Filipino comfort food with creative dishes and café favorites. Easy to locate lang yung resto, just a few minutes away from Antipolo Cathedral, Robinsons Antipolo, and Pinto Art. Ako I walked from Antipolo Cathedral, halos 10 min walk lang thru M.L. Quezon Street/Ave. papuntang FBM Building, yung nearest BPI Antipolo Poblacion branch. You can also use the landmark: in front of Shopwise Antipolo. What we tried: Laing Fritos Kinilaw na Tanigue Eleng’s Kare-Kare (best seller) Beef Adobo sa Gata (best seller) Palabok Negra (best seller) Pizza No.5 (best seller) Fruit Shakes For those who enjoy hearty Filipino flavors in a relaxed dining setting, it’s a must-visit in Antipolo."
