Cafe Breton at Tomas Morato

It's been a while since I last updated my blog and since I'm fresh from the long weekend, I decided to pay my blog a visit. It was a Saturday afternoon when my sister and I decided to drop by Tomas Morato in search of crepe. Yes, I was craving crepe at that time. So I searched Google and that's how I found the nearest crepe restaurant in our place. Going there, we scoured Sct. de Guia and if I wasn't paying attention, we would've passed the restaurant because of the trees blocking its facade. I was surprised at how homey and warm this restaurant felt. I was instantly put in good despite having been out in the sun for awhile. There was an ongoing baby shower at that time but the waiter attended to us immediately and gave us their menu. I scanned their wide selections of crepe and chose their Blueberries and Cream crepe. I was also happy to note that they are also serving hearty meals like sandwiches and pasta so we sampled their Chicken Run and Tuna melt sandwich. We also ordered Strawberry smoothie for my drink while she opted to go for their Calamansi slush.

Love how the sun lights up the place

Very homey and nice color combination

I fell inlove with their interiors and then with their food 

Our food was served about ten minutes after we placed our orders. The only catch in this place though is that they don't have wi-fi to offer. Good thing I have my own mobile data on hand but it could've been better if they offer one so that people can spread the word about their place and hey, even McDonald's have wi-fi now. Anyway, I didn't bother asking why they don;t have internet in such a lovely homey place. Maybe it broke down or they are in the process of getting one. But I do know one thing, getting one will boost their sales. When our food did come, we were surprised by their huge servings. First came our drinks then our tuna melt sandwich. I forgot to add that the sandwich comes with a serving of salad.

A closer shot of our meal


A bite of this sandwich sent tuna juices to my fingers. It was so juicy and filled with huge chucks of spicy tuna, tomatoes and lettuce. The bread was not your ordinary market bread and it was toasted perfectly. The salad on the side is just your ordinary shredded lettuce, white onion, tomatoes and thousand island dressing salad. The real focus, and they did it pretty well, is in the sandwich itself. And there definitely is cheese in there.

Then our Chicken Run sandwich came...

This serving is really huge and is good for 2-3 persons. 

This is definitely a surprise since we were feeling full already just from the tuna melt sandwich alone. By the time this dish came, I have to adjust my tummy so it can acquire more. What I can say about this dish is that it is very light. I don't know if it's the sauce, the chicken or the asparagus but definitely, those three combined is indeed a genius idea. It's a very hearty meal on its own plus the salad, you can't go wrong with this dish. We ordered two sandwiches thinking we can wolf them down easily with the choice of crepe we ordered but we were dead wrong. At this point in our meal, I was definitely counting the laps I would run later to burn down the calories I've taken. Before we knew it, it's time for dessert and our Blueberries and cream crepe came in.

That beauty over there can be consumed by two to three people tops

A spoonful of this sweet dessert comes involves the crepe, vanilla ice cream, blueberries, powdered sugar and some whipped cream. I was actually scared that it might be too sweet since my last encounter with blueberries left my throat feeling raw. But this dessert is something else. I actually devoured my half in no time. It's sweetness level is not that overpowering and hindi nakaka umay. This is indeed worth every penny we shelled that day. I am so pleased with this dish that I decided to take out two more of their crepes namely La Pinay and Adam and Eve. 

All in all we paid around 1300php (plus the tip) for our meal. I would definitely go back to sample their other dishes and hopefully by that time, they'll have free wi-fi for their patronizing customers. Till next time!
