earth kitchen

we thought we ordered a lot of food for my family of 6 but then again... no we were able to finish it all! for starters we ordered watermelon rocket salad and shrimp spring rolls. then we got roast chicken, 2 pastas - carbonara, squid and aligue pasta,beefsoft tacos, andbeefkebabs (wasnt able to capture in pic). food alone was not just picture perfect but perfect in taste especially the tacos, kebab and salad. would've given a 5 but the squid pasta was a bit too salty. all the ingredients are fresh which you could see and taste. even the kids loved it (and ate most of it!). tablea ice cream for dessert is highly recommended ?

in my own humble opinion, earth kitchen is the best among the restaurants who advertise themselves to be healthy and organic.

during our last visit here, we ordered their pomelo salad, pumpkin and kesong puti soft tacos, andbeefkebab. everything was heavenly! perfectly prepared and cooked! we loved how refreshing the salad was, how light and filling the soft tacos were, and how soft and tender thebeefof the kebab was.

yes, maybe they are a bit on the expensive side, as all organic restaurants usually are, but this one is surely worth it!

i like how their is ample parking space provided and how once you enter, you'll feel like you are inside a garden with a bit of asian touch.

surely a favorite of ours now! 👍👍

outstanding farm-to-table restaurant with a rustic ambiance! their motto is healthy:sustainable:local. we had a good watermelon rocket salad with arugula, lettuce, kesong puti, pili nuts in a balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

our mains were mushroom ravioli andbeefkebab. both dishes were excellent. ravioli with shitake and button mushrooms was in a tasty sauce with pili nuts and kesong puti.beefkebabs were done just right and served with tzatziki, grilled vegetables and flour tortillas with a side salad.

we took out lovely sweet potato empanadas with garlic aioli dip. also took out organic grilled chicken with carrot puree and salsa verde.

this is one of my favorite restaurants. i love their mushroom soup,beefkebab, kimchi tacos. just noticed that quantity and quality dropped for the kimchi tacos, the last time i went (october 2019)

i like the organic feel of the restaurant

my friends and i had dinner here after a very tiring hike. highlights of the meal for me include:

🍴 mushroom soup-- one of the best i've tasted so far! very rich and creamy, very pronounced mushroom taste. as we split the orders, i can't really comment on the serving size. but this dish is a great way to start your meal.

🍴beef kebab-- this was a surprise! everybody liked this dish, some pronouncing that it was their favorite of the night. the sauce was the star! that absolutely delicious spicy mayo sauce went with every dish, no exaggeration!beefwas tender, rice was flavorful, serving size good for one hungry individual...

🍴 mushroom ravioli-- i liked this dish. freshly made pasta stuffed with a mushroom paste and topped with a creamy (and dreamy) sauce! be careful to those with allergies, since it has nuts...

🍴beef bulgogi soft tacos-- another favorite of the night... it has depth in flavor which blends well and creates a party in your mouth! spicy, nutty, earthy, meaty- all in one mouthful. even better with the spicy mayo sauce...

🍴pan-seared pork chops-- i believe the mashed pumpkin was the best part! don't get me wrong, the pork was really flavorful and moist and the sauce was great... but you don't get to try that pumpkin dish everyday... 😄

this restaurant is really worth a try!😊

visited for a special lunch. we saw it online included on a list to find a good place with good food. and also to try something new around the qc/pasig area.

-we ordered the following:

●spaghetti pomodoro
very distinct taste. it may look simple on its plating, but it will definitely make your toungue and brain think. the organic tomato sauce is great and isn't overpowering the pasta all together. also it is meant for 1 person serving, but can be slightly shared by 2.

●braised bacon
an excellent example of braisingbeefmeat (correct me if i'm wrong, but it definitely tasted beef). the meat and fat is tender and juicy all throughout. and yes, it can be cut and slice by a spoon with ease. the portion has layers of thin fat enough to compliment the meat. the baby potatoes and sliced red cabbages are drenched in sauce. in a way, those vegetables can be served separately without the bacon (gulay pa lang ulam na~).

-the place is very homey and welcoming with a large dining room feel. aside from the restaurant, there's also a gallery/exhibit room.

-common toilets are well maintained (even if you want to poop, di mahihiya ang pwet mo na mag.stay). one thing i noticed, the facial mirror is mounted quite high. for smaller people, you may not see your shoulders anymore....or worse, you may not even use it.

highly recommended. their menu is quite pricey and not that expansive considering it covers italian and asian cuisine, but it'll definitely live up to your stomach's expectation.

still the best spring rolls in town delicious sauce. kebabs and fresh cornedbeefare also superb. allocate 30 minutes to serve your food its worth the wait.

one of the best healthy food i have ever had!

melissa, the owner is a great host and has lots of inspiring stories to tell. the food is simple, healthy and absolutely delicious! do try the bonelessbeefribs with organic ifugao rice - my favorite! veg option can be the mushroom risotto balls stuffed with mozzarella cheese breaded and fried, served with tomato sauce!

this has to be one of our new fave restaurants. they also have an art gallery and a corner for local goods like soaps, organic food, woven things, pottery and even plants. the food was great, you are going back for more. the service staff were all accomodating. we enjoyed our date. 💗
feast meter:
🌟🌟🌟 sugarcane juice - taste is just enough, i loved the concept of metal straw
🌟🌟🌟🌟 crispy catfish salad - the taste was okay but i suggest they add more greens
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟beefkebab - this is highly recommended. the serving size was enough for two.
although they were quite expensive, the experience was great. good job for a more spacious parking area.

i brought my family here for my birthday dinner so we could have a filling dinner without much guilt.

the winner was thebeeftacos which devored before i could take a pic. it was really good bursting with flavors.

the place was clean and you know that you are up to a clean treat.

i love the feel and the message the restaurant is trying to convey. serving their unique dishes while helping out local farmers and indigenous communities in the philippines.

i recommend trying the mushroom ravioli for those who love the combination of cheese and mushroom. what's noteworthy as well are their soft tacos (try thebeefbulgogi or the fish and roasted sesame). they serve three pieces with the sauce on the side and it can be quite filling.

lastly, i'm a big fan of squid ink dishes and i particularly adore the squid ink and aligue pasta. the texture of both the noodles and the scallops goes well, both with the feel of chewy and yet soft. my go to dish whenever i eat here. :)

i was going to cover an event for the people of marawi at earth kitchen, but i felt that i needed to try out the good stuff on their menu before it started.

while waiting for the food that i ordered, i made a quick tour of the room to check out the other products that they have to offer. true to their name, they focused on featuring artisinal and organic goods that were crafted in various parts of the country. these included handcrafted soaps, fruit purees and flavored chocolate bars.

also visible on their walls are colorful artwork that would easily catch your attention. i was then informed that these are creations of marginalized children, who try to earn via this craft. the proceeds of the sales are being handled by the crib foundation via their new beginnings program.

as soon as i finished, dishes was quick and already waiting for me at the table. ragu ala bolognese came first and their take on the famous pasta dish was just as good as how it looked. the groundbeefblended well with light tomato sauce and herbs, on al dente pasta. served alongside this was wet mushroom soft tacos. its unique twist of hoisin sauce made the pickled mushrooms’ taste stand out.

freshly made shrimp spring rolls followed. the wonderful presentation, along with the generous serving of shrimps on every roll, makes it a nice choice for vegetable lovers. its sauce, however, could use some work as it was too sour.

for our main dish, me and a friend shared their rendition ofbeefkebab with organic ifugao rice pilaf. it’s hard not to fall in love with it as the tender meat is also rich in flavor. at php 420 it’s a bit steep though. an extra stick please?

after all that we had, we still turned to even more food, this time some cake with warm beverage. since one flavor could never be enough, i tried both of their homemade cakes, along with a cup of malunggay latte. both cakes were notable given the distinct taste of ube and tablea, respectively. the malunggay latte was fine, better though with low fat milk instead of full cream.

overall, i could say that earth kitchen is one of the better places to dine in the katipunan area. if you’re into organic and artisinal products, and looking for a variety of cuisines in one roof, this could be the place for you.

still and always will be my favorite go-to place forbeefkebabs! 😍❤️ perfectly tender meat over organic ifugao rice pillaf and grilled vegetables with tzatziki (yogurt dip!!!) and cheese sauce. it's so nice i could never resist a refill! aaaah! 😍❤️ ••••••••••••••••••••••••

a friend suggested the place. they serve organic food and the place is serene with gardens around the place. the pouring of rain that night added to its home-y feel. they also have organic products for sale.

i recommend the fresh mushroom soup, watermelon & rocket salad, especially thebeefand citrus salad. maybe less cilantro in thebeefsalad next time.

great, healthy, original food i'll keep coming back to until i get old.. this is how good (taste- and health- wise) their food is! before we were always just ordering theirbeefkabab, which is incomparably tender and tasty, but then we decided to try out their other main dish and it was surprisingly really good too! i said surprising because the menu is just all text and no pictures and it's super boring compared to their fabulous food. their seaweed salad has unique types of seaweed that i've never tasted elsewhere. the chicken with banana blossom, nuts and crispy wafer is also amazing. soup is so yummy with a texture contrast of shredded pumpkin. try also their unique tacos (not in the pics sorry)
