Lola Ote Restaurant in Metro Manila

"Lola Ote is one of those places that instantly feels homey. The food was delicious and comforting, honestly, we weren’t even able to take photos of the rest of the dishes because we dug in right away Everything tasted freshly cooked and very satisfying. What I really appreciated is that they’re pet-friendly, which made the whole experience even better. The staff were welcoming and accommodating, both to us and our fur baby. Overall, great food, relaxed atmosphere, and a place you’ll want to come back to, just make sure to take photos first next time!"

"We have dine for lunch and doesnt have customers yet but it took 5-8 minutes before we get the menu. As we ordered, food was served 15-20minutes but they failed to deliver our tuna until we ask for it. Its hard to get the attention of their waiters as they dont check on their customer when in need. The food is great. There's nothing to complain about it. It's just the price that matters a less star on it. Atmosphere is quite relaxable somehow. If you want to be more private, you need to get into the second floor (or higher platform maybe). I dont think that is accessible to wheelchairs but I havent roam around so I cant tell about it. I didnt took pictures inside as I didnt want to review this place at the moment. Maybe soon I can put a better review on this. Paid in cash. Noted that their price is subject to 10% service charge which I didnt feel they serve us good."

"This restaurant serves the kind of home-cooked dishes that feel comforting and balanced — the kind you can enjoy from the first bite to the last without feeling overwhelmed. I tried their Adobo with Green Mango and Tortang Talong, both well-prepared and seasoned thoughtfully. The flavors were familiar yet elevated, evoking the feeling of dining at home but with a touch of refinement. The restaurant’s clean and open-space design adds to its inviting atmosphere, creating a relaxed and welcoming setting for casual meals. A definite plus is that they are pet-friendly, making it an ideal spot to enjoy good food while spending time with your furry companions. Overall, it’s a pleasant dining experience that captures the comfort of Filipino home cooking while offering a bright, modern space to enjoy it."

"We recently celebrated my girlfriend's birthday at this restaurant and we were all very happy with the experience. The food we ordered was excellent. The Caldereta, the barbecues and the garlic rice were my favorites. Every dish was cooked perfectly and truly suited for Filipino taste. For the quality we got, the prices were very reasonable and definitely worth it. The place itself is clean, spacious, and has a touch of luxury, making it feel special for a celebration. The only downside is the limited parking, which can be a bit challenging during peak hours. Still, it's a great spot overall and we'll definitely be back."

"The relaxed atmosphere, mixed with comforting Filipino food makes it a place to visit. I particularly liked the pork bbq which was tender and flavorful. The molo soup felt like lugaw without the rice with a hefty portion of bite size bone in chicken. The ensaladang talong balances the bbq well."

"We went to Lola Ote for a team meeting and were really happy with the setup; it was easy to talk, and the staff was so welcoming even though our group was a bit noisy. While the service was great, the food didn't quite hit the mark for me—the barbecue is supposed to be their specialty but it didn't leave much of an impression, and the bibingka pancake didn't really taste like bibingka. We also tried the tapsilog, pansit, and fish, which were just okay. Despite the food being a bit hit-or-miss, we were very thankful for the team’s hospitality and the comfortable space, making it a decent spot if you need a place to gather with a large group."

"We visited the restaurant prior to booking their function room good for 25 pax. (The function room had a 15k consumable package with a downpayment of 2k. Please note that the senior discount is only counted in the excess of the 15k.) They were accommodating at first with our questions and the venue was ideal since there was ample parking. However, in the following days they were hard to contact via Viber and had to follow up through call. When the day arrived, the venue was prepared and was spacious enough for the gathering. They were initially accommodating, asking when the food should be served and introduced the waiter in charge if we needed anything. But soon after it was hard for them to call their attention. Possibly because there was also another event happening outside the room. It was hard to order more or request for water. We didnt feel welcomed and it may be due to them being understaffed on a Saturday lunch. The food came on time which was fine, the servings were enough for 2-3 as described and the plating looked good. The bihon was okay, nothing special but good for 3-4 people while the lucban pasta was more preferred by the group. The sisig was still the favorite out of everything we ordered and we also tried the isaw while we were at it. The kare kare on the other hand was nothing special for its price but alright in general. Overall the experience is okay but not something for us to go back to with the price we had to pay."
