Some meals call for a favourite you already know. Others are an invitation to try something new. At Café by Westside, the all-day dining restaurant of Grand Westside Manila Bay, guests can do a little of both.
Open daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, Café by Westside takes diners from early breakfasts to leisurely lunches and relaxed dinners. Its à la carte menu travels from Filipino favourites to Asian, Indian, Arabic and Western dishes, while Saturday evenings bring an even wider journey with the restaurant’s World of Flavours Dinner Buffet.
Whether it is breakfast before the day begins, lunch with colleagues, an afternoon meal with the family or a Saturday dinner with friends, the restaurant is designed around one simple pleasure: good food shared around the table.
From familiar favourites to something new: the à la carte menu
Café by Westside’s à la carte menu brings together dishes from home and farther afield, giving diners plenty to explore throughout the day.
Filipino flavours have a natural place on the menu. Kare-Kare, one of the restaurant’s chef signatures, pairs slow-cooked oxtail with a savoury peanut sauce and shrimp paste, while Home Style Sinigang brings the familiar comfort of a sour broth with a choice of shrimp, salmon, US beef or pork belly. Adobo, Crispy Pata, Lechon Kawali, Pinakbet with Bagnet and Pancit add to the line-up of well-loved local favourites.
Then the menu begins to travel
Guests can move from Seafood Laksa, with prawns, squid and mussels in Malaysian coconut broth, to Pad Thai and Black Pepper Beef. Indian and Arabic selections include Murgh Makhani, Chicken Masala, Vegetable Korma, Chana Masala and Biryani, layered with spices, herbs and caramelized onions and offered with chicken, egg, seafood, vegetables or lamb.
For those craving something more familiar, the Signature Westside Burger, made with US Angus beef on a charcoal brioche bun, joins a selection of pasta, sandwiches and classic comfort food. Lighter choices include Lumpiang Sariwa, Thai Prawn and Pomelo Salad and Vietnamese Vegetable Spring Rolls.
“Good food should feel familiar, but there should always be something new to discover,” says Chef Chris Lugtu, Executive Chef of Grand Westside Manila Bay. “At Café by Westside, we bring together flavours our guests know and love with dishes they may be trying for the first time. For us, it’s about cooking food people genuinely enjoy and giving them a reason to come back for another plate.”
Save room for something sweet
The journey does not have to end with the main course. Café by Westside’s à la carte dessert selection includes Dulce de Leche Cheesecake, 24-Carat Moist Chocolate Mousse Cake, Sugar-Free Tiramisu and Westside Homemade Gelato, with flavours changing according to the day’s selection.
Whether stopping in for a favourite or choosing something new, the à la carte experience gives diners the freedom to make Café by Westside their own — from a quick lunch to a long catch-up over dessert.
Saturday nights become a World of Flavours
The à la carte menu may take diners around the world throughout the week, but on Saturday evenings, that spirit of discovery takes on a different form with Café by Westside’s World of Flavours Dinner Buffet.
Designed for diners who enjoy variety, the buffet brings different cuisines together in one generous spread. Guests can explore Filipino and Asian favourites, Indian and Middle Eastern flavours, Western classics, freshly prepared selections and desserts, building their own journey around the buffet one plate at a time.
There is no prescribed way to experience it. Start with something familiar, venture into a dish you have never tried before, return for a favourite — or discover something good enough to deserve a second helping.
Rather than centring the experience around any one cuisine, World of Flavours reflects the same approach that shapes Café by Westside: plenty of choice, familiar flavours alongside international discoveries, and food made to be enjoyed together.
It is an easy invitation to turn Saturday dinner into an occasion — gather the family, catch up with friends after a long week, or simply arrive hungry and see where the evening takes you.
“Dining has always been one of the ways people come together, and that sense of connection is very much part of the experience we want to create at Grand Westside,” says Joe Xavier Fijardo, General Manager of Grand Westside Manila Bay. “Café by Westside welcomes families, friends, travellers and our local community to share a table, enjoy good food and spend time together. World of Flavours gives them another reason to do just that.”
An all-day table in Westside City
