Cafe Via Mare's All Time Favorite Merienda : Showcase Real Pinoy Taste

Just where can you find the happiest place on earth?

For me, it’s when everyone is gathered around a dining table; happily chatting and eating our favorite food

It is when you are eating that sweet memories are once told; rediscover our old soul as they say.

And speaking of old soul;  my old soul brought me back to my old self and my old all-time favorite merienda last Aug. 13, 2015 when we had a get together at the Café Via Mare located at Landmark Trinoma

Yes, there is a Café Via Mare inside Landmark, more specifically at the woman’s section located at the second floor.

Who would have thought that inside Landmark, you could find the coziest place to have your merienda.

The place was simply , the merienda is simple but the feeling  was not. This Merienda foods are what our taste buds is familiar with and there is no better place to have it but at Café Via Mare.

We Filipinos eat three times a day but there is what we called merienda that we also enjoy during the day. 

Merienda – a meal that is served in between the main meals of the day. Pan de sal is a breakfast staple among Filipinos and Via Mare serves it fresh every day, grilled with sides of corned beef, Vigan longganisa, Laguna cheese, and queso de bola; as well as comfort food like arroz caldo and tokwa’t baboy.

Merienda, or light snacks, are as important as main meals for Filipinos. At Via Mare, diners can choose from well-loved Filipino fare such as puto bumbong, palitaw, and guinataang halo-halo.

Ending scrumptious feasts on a sweet note are iced deserts such as halo-halo and guinomis.
