I always look forward to Sundays. Aside from being a day of rest from my usual work, it affords me with some precious time to spend with my family.
Hubby and I usually take advantage of this day to take the kids out for brunch after Sunday mass and we are always on the lookout for fresh foodie experiences to share with the fam, such as our Sunday brunch at Crisostomo.
Location: A Quaint Haven in the Heart of Eastwood
Nestled in the Second Floor Veranda of Eastwood Mall, Crisostomo sure looks like a great destination for families seeking a memorable time over a good meal. Being short drive away from the church, and its relatively early opening hours at 10am daily also makes it a convenient location for the family’s Sunday brunch.
Ambiance: A Quaint Journey to Old Manila
Crisostomo is quite an unassuming establishment with a quaint and cozy atmosphere. The restaurant’s charming interior boasts subtle design touches reminiscent of Old Manila. From antique-inspired crown mouldings to old-fashioned chandeliers, the ambiance creates an inviting setting for families to relax and relish in the flavors of Filipino cuisine.
