Pinto Arts Museum Cafe Review

Pinto Art Museum Cafe | Pinto Cafe – The atmosphere and ambiance created by the creative Mediterranean decor make this a charming location for small groups, and couples. The food was delicious and pleasing. The portion sizes were good but not huge. The Pinto Cafe might charge slightly more but the experience is worth those few extra Pesos.

To start this review we would like to say that I often do a little research on a location or venue before we visit. This way we can have a general idea of what to look for, what to expect, and so on.

After reading a few reviews I found that many were not happy with the quality and price of many of the meals. With this in mind, we decided to remain neutral and unbiased and, to the best of our ability, give an honest review of the Pinto Art Museum Cafe, otherwise known as the Pinto Cafe.

Pinto Art Museum Cafe | Pinto Cafe Prices

Other reviews have said that prices at the Pinto Cafe were expensive. Now, I do agree, it can seem this way when you just look at the figures but let’s look at the bigger picture and weigh it all up.

We ordered the Lamb Shanks for P595 and that came with soup of the day and dessert. That seems reasonable to me. The surroundings and atmosphere are very pleasant and enjoyable. The cafe is convenient after seeing Gallery. All that adds up to good value I think.

Sure, we could have searched around for the nearest ChowKing and saved a few Pesos but that would totally ruin the experience for me.

As I said earlier, this is a great place to have a date. Spend the afternoon here and forget the world for a while. It is so easy to have deep and bonding discussions while relaxing in this type of ambiance.

Pinto Art Museum CafeThe restaurant is furnished with vintage wrought iron furniture. Iron and wood tables and chairs are used in the indoor dining space, while the al fresco area has white wrought iron and glass garden dining sets.

The all-white Mission-style building that houses the restaurant is surrounded by lush gardens and tall trees. It also has a bar where guests can also try alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

It has an extensive menu with almost 100 dishes from appetizers to desserts. And the menu is perfect for picky eaters since Cafe Rizal serves Filipino and other various international cuisines Japanese, Thai, French, Spanish, Mexican, and more.

The Pinto Art Museum Cafe is operated by Bizu. The Pinto Cafe menu is headed with “Siraulo” which is quite apt as Dr. Joven Cuanang (founder of the museum) often describes his place as madness.

I did find the menu a little limited but, as they say… It’s not quantity that matters, it is quality.

The food selections are limited but good.

Gary ordered the South Australian Lamb Shanks (P595) and I had the Pappardelle With Duck Confit (P375). Both meals were served on time and the presentation was excellent.

The smell from Gary’s lamb shanks was mouthwatering and I could tell he thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The Pappardelle was also very good and the serving size was just right so as to leave enough room for dessert.

Gary’s lamb shanks were an entree so it also came with a soup of the day and dessert. Sorry, we didn’t get a picture of the lamb Shanks.
