Short for Katrina, the name of the daughter of the chef/owner. Rox Cailao. This mediterranean theme restaurant, had its humble beginnings in one of the side streets of Tomas Morato. Transferring in the early 2000’s to their new location still one of the side streets, but now more visible to the public.

Famous for the beautiful way the plate their dishes with the wonderful play of colors. And being so affordable .defintely value for money.

No problem with parking here, have ample spaces in front of the restaurant.

On the Table

Pita wedges with 3 different dips(90)—a delightful appetizer, everything was fresh tasting. Made in the traditional meditterenean way. The dips were very good.

Greek Salad(185)- like I said, the plating of their food were wonderful, Nice colors, the salad green were fresh , the dressing light yet flavorful. Lots of feta cheese :)

French Onion Soup(165)- hmm, this was kinda disappointing. They used pre sliced processed cheese her, I love the more rustic look where the sides of the bowl would be dripping with melted cheese. . Soup itself was ok, didn’t really wow me.

Seafood Pasta(395)- Aldente Pasta. Good amount of seafood, Good amount of cheese, Sauce hugging every strand of pasta.. Great Dish

US Beef Belly(Angus Bacon)(455)- Think of thick slices of bacon, but instead of pork.. they used beef belly. Very tender beef, perfectly seasoned.

Grilled Mahi-Mahi(355)- a nice size fillet, good for one.. grilled till cooked , but still moist and flaky.Painted with a sweet barbequey like sauce Served with dollops of scallop sauce on the side. Wondeful…

One thing I noticed about their dishes is that they love using fried thinly sliced onion rings. I wonder why…

Pandan Ice Tea- refillable. Refreshing ice tea blend flavoured by one of the favorite leaves by Filipinos that we used to flavour rice, gelatin etc…

Crème Brulee- silky custard dessert, one of the cheapest if not the cheapest among casual fine dining restaurants, not too sweet, just right

Chocolate cake-This chocolate cake was a bit dry, maybe more than a day old most probably..

still decedent though so it was still finished with ease..

Still one of my recommended “to eat” restos in the Tomas Morato Area. Affordable, yet filling and delights the senses both the eyes and the tongue:)
