Café Enye

For me and Mickey, living in Eastwood City is convenient, everything is accessible including choices in dining establishments.  However, restaurants in the malls are also subjected to the mall hours.  Oftentimes, we also look for restaurants that are open before mall hours, and yes, even after mall hours. 

We walk around Eastwood a lot and we've been seeing this new restaurant over at Eastwood Excelsior called Café Enye.  I recently received an invitation from them for their official launch but missed it because we had to leave for Boracay.  It was a good thing that they invited us over to dine in the restaurant when we got back from our trip.

Café Enye first greets you with a covered Al Fresco dining area

It is adjacent to the bar and the stained glass walls can also be opened up to the al fresco space for specialized outdoor events.

The specially commissioned mural of a floral woman at the al fresco dining area is executed

by Japanese artist, Akane Watanabe.

They also have a function room that can comfortably accommodate 25 persons.  For a minimum consumable spend of Php 15,000.00, you can book this cozy room for a small party with friends or perhaps a private event.

The entire restaurant can accommodate 120 persons for private functions and was designed by Architect Alan Casas.  There are special nooks for catching up with friends, celebrating milestones with family or even just simply enjoying great tasting colonial Spanish cuisine with loved ones.
