Burrow Café at Antipolo Beehouse – Antipolo, Rizal (Food Guide)

BEATING THE LOCKDOWN BLUES

During the pandemic, lockdowns were implemented to avoid the rising transmission of the virus and it came to a point where the Philippines was divided into different bubbles in which you are restricted in the bubble that you are currently living. Travel from NCR + (Metro Manila and the nearby provinces) bubble to other provincial bubbles was not allowed.  Fortunately, Rizal is part of the Metro Manila bubble. A lot of wonderful cafés and restaurants in Rizal reopened to cater to everyone. Back then, eating out was a good way to be relieved from the lockdown blues. One of the known restaurants that was always visited is Burrow Café in Antipolo.

Burrow Café was built by Vitty Gutierrez and aims to bring people closer to nature through its natural ambiance and delicious meals. It is an underground cafe as the name suggests but it is really not underground, it is below the main road but it is still above the normal ground as it is located on the slope of the mountain. It is surrounded by plants and trees and below it is a spring/river which can be accessed through one of their stairs. As you wait for your food, you can explore and appreciate the surrounding nature.

FOOD TRIP AT BURROW CAFÉ

Almost a year ago, I went there with my friends and cousins. We went there without a reservation and fortunately, we were accommodated. They encourage reservations for guaranteed seatings. Going inside the restaurant can be a challenge since you have to walk down a steep ramp or stairs. Upon entering the restaurant, you’ll experience a rustic vibe. Wide and wooden windows with a view of nature will greet you. As for their food, I have been there twice and I can say that their food is really good. It is pricey but the taste and the ambiance stood up to the price. I’ll let these pictures make you drool for a while.

Lockdown or not, you should visit Burrow Café to escape from the hustle and bustle of the metro and have a moment of good food and peace with nature.
