Cafe Mjelyca - Dagupan

Value for money, try this best pasta and cakes in town.

A hidden gem in Dagupan! Their Korean bark and frozen blueberry cheese are absolutely delicious. Another highlight is their friendly and accommodating staff. Keep up the great work!

I ordered chicken fingers with fries as an appetizer and the spicy gambas as my main course. The chicken fingers were great—well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. The spicy gambas definitely had a kick, but they were also delicious. The sweetness of the paprika really balanced out the heat. However, there was a bit of a wait for the food, so if you're in a hurry, I would recommend trying another place. It’s understandable, though, as I noticed they only had one server and two people in the kitchen while the restaurant was full when we visited.

I ordered the pesto pasta, and it was too nutty. Also, the blueberry cheesecake has a dry, hard crust and has a hint of margarine taste (not too sure if it really is margarine).

I highly recommend the Parmegiana Alexandra, a delicious pasta dish with a tomato base.
