What No one Tells You about CAFE RACER

     During these last few days, I and my beau planned to dine at a restaurant to try new things and at the same time, to chat, and bond with each other. Though I always pass by the restaurant (Cafe Racer) every time I go to school and from school to my home, I never got the chance to stop by. I got curious so I did some research about the new restaurant. When I surfed the net, it amazed me more because of their restaurant’s unique theme. The cafe is inspired by a racing lifestyle in the UK where bikers race from one cafe to another. I really love their concept, very unique among the others.

They have indoor dining area and an outdoor dining area.

  Their carwash is fully functioning as well.

They also have that cashier’s area walled off with an old Volkswagen van.

All of their tables and chairs were very innovative. SOme chairs are made out of old oil drums.

They also made tables out of old license plates and other oil drums were modified and turned into comfy couches.

      It was Thursday evening when we decided to dine in the restaurant. When we arrived there, we were assisted by the guard on where to park our car. And when we were approaching the entrance of the cafe, someone suddenly called my name. And guess what? It was Sarah Jane Sanoza, who used to be my classmate in USJ-R. She is now working as a receptionist in the Cafe. She then ushered us to our seat which was a very cute halved beetle car. We then ordered Baked Back Ribs, Filet Mignon, Classic Cheeseburger, Bacon Bomb, Oreo Cheesecake Shake and Mango Freeze.

Baked Back Ribs

Filet Mignon

Classic Cheeseburger

Bacon Bomb

Oreo Cheesecake Shake

      Their Baked Back Ribs was a bit dry in the inside and was too tangy for my palate. The Bacon Bomb was excellent and unique. But their Filet Mignon was very tough. It was still red in the inside. We still ate it though except for those part where we had a hard time swallowing. It was like we’re chewing a bubble gum. While their Classic Cheeseburger was just a simple and plain cheeseburger. It has nothing so special in it. Their Mango Freeze was good and their Oreo Cheesecake was superb. 

Once we were done with our food, an attendant came to our table, smiled and suddenly took our plates without even asking for our permission. Me and my beau looked at each other with shocked faces. It was like she doesn't want us around or she finds our presence irritating. Uggh! I don't like her. I should have told her about it. Maybe next time though.

     Cafe Racer is located at the North Reclamation Area. If you’re coming from Mandaue, it’s after Jollibee. It operates from 11am to 2am or even later and serves snacks and coffee, lunch, dinner as well as alcoholic beverages.
