The Grounds, Sumulong Highway, Antipolo

We begin the so-called ghost month with a post about one of the restaurants near the Haven of Angels memorial chapels and crematorium in Antipolo. While we had been in Miguel's across the chapels, we had been curious about its sister restaurant "The Grounds". The July, we had the chance to go there after attending a service for the mother of a good friend. She passed away after a short battle with cancer. As with tradition, we decided to do 'pagpag' before we headed home that night.

They have a bar for those mainly wanting to have some drinks.

The restaurant is spacious and airy. Just don't be seated near the highway as it can get noisy apart from the hazards of emissions from vehicles traveling along Sumulong Highway.

Their take on the classic pansit palabok. That's bagnet with the palabok.

Old fashioned children's spaghetti

 
There are function rooms for more private events or gatherings.

There are also ample parking spaces for customers.

We had their Brazo de Mercedes for dessert

It was really good

The food was good and the cost was not hard on the wallet. Pagpag aside, we thought it was a good place to have a meal at whether for a date or large gatherings. Of course, don't mind the usual groups who probably just came from a wake at the nearby memorial chapels.
