When in Manila and discovering one-of-a-kind restaurants, then Rustic Mornings by Isabelo is one of the places you should go to.
I have found Rustic Mornings by Isabelo as a precious gem hidden in the homely locale of Marikina. Founded by Ms. Portia Dee-Baluyut, an advertising agent-turned-chef, the restaurant remains to be a sanctuary of heartwarming breakfast food with a rural ambience and knickknacks of beautiful, organized clutter.
Rustic Mornings by Isabelo is open everyday from 8 am to 4 pm.
Rustic Mornings is a product of the Dee family’s daily source of inspiration from home. Felicitas Dee, the owner’s grandmother, was known for her mouthwatering recipes while Stephanie Dee-Baluyut, the owner’s mother, was a well-known artist; with all three women contributing their talents to this restaurant, the business thrived and continued to bless others with their food.
