About Café Lurline

Just down from Echo Point, this laid-back mountain corner pairs traditional cafe brunch with sizzling Filipino comfort. Walkers drop in off the trails for hot plates of pork sisig crackling in cast-iron skillets alongside garlic rice and fried eggs. The kitchen also turns out a tight global roster—from Pedro's spiced chicken skewers and Spanish tortilla to flaky roti with curry. Order a glass of chilled calamansi juice, pull up a seat outside, and take your time over house-baked cake topped with vanilla ice cream.

  • Filipino Comfort Fare: Sizzling pork sisig in hot skillets, chicken inasal, and silog garlic-rice bowls alongside classic morning fare.
  • Global Brunch Roster: A rotating global list spanning Mexican huevos rancheros, Spanish tortilla, Middle Eastern shakshuka, and roti with curry.
  • Post-Trail Respite: Set along Lurline Street right off the Explorer Bus route, offering indoor and outdoor seating away from the main strip.
