An artsy cafe is finally in Maginhawa!

Calling all artsy people! I've found our happy place!

Along the busy Maginhawa Street in Sikatuna Village, you will find Artesania MNL Cafe, a place where art and food meet. Their artsy interiors are so inviting and relaxing.

In Artesania MNL Cafe, it's not just all about art, but good food as well. I can't help but be amused with their artsy and appetizing dishes.

Potato Eaters (French Fries Palette - 185php) - Nope, it is not your ordinary french fries. It is served with playful dips that look like paint in a palette. Out of all the four dips, my favorite would be the blue cheese which has a very unique flavor.

Midsummer Night's Dream (Tropical Mango Salad - 245php) - This salad won't make you feel like you're eating greens because of its sweet taste. What made it perfect is its walnut toppings that added extra flavor to the salad.

Forrest Gump (Shrimp Aglio Olio Pasta - 280php) - Out of all the dishes served to us, this is my favorite. It's simple yet mouthwatering. What I loved most about this pasta is the kick of chili and garlic that complemented the shrimps well. They are also very generous with the serving of shrimps!

The Animal Farm (All-Meat Pizza - 290php) - I would recommend this pizza to the meat lovers. I also loved their pizza crust which is thin and crispy - just perfect for the toppings.

Artesania MNL Cafe also offers a wide variety of drinks like this Iced Caramel Macchiato (140php) that was so refreshing. You may also opt to order your coffee hot or iced.

Black Forest Latte (135php) - It is also known as the Galaxy Latte which is one of their best sellers.

What's even more exciting about Artesania MNL Cafe is that it also serves as a venue for various workshops such as calligraphy, sketching, painting, and even makeup.
