Cafe Lupe Antipolo

Cafe Lupe is a big overlooking restaurant on Sumulong Highway in Barangay Mambugan, Antipolo. It started near Guadalupe Bridge, inside the Guadalupe Seminary, which is where the Lupe comes from. It moved up to Antipolo in 2010 and has grown into a whole complex since.

There's a lot in one place. An al fresco area faces a stage where a live band plays at night. There are family KTV rooms if your group wants to sing on its own. A small art gallery shows works by Antipolo artists, all for sale. They also have rooms, and overnight guests get the infinity pool with the city lights below.

The food is a mix of Filipino and comfort dishes. Write ups point to the Beef Kansi, an Ilonggo soup that's like bulalo and sinigang together. The brick oven pizzas, glazed pork belly and Paella a la Lupe come up too. Cocktails run around ₱300. It's a sit down dinner place that turns into a band night.
