Buy 1 take 1 cocktails everyday
One way to enjoy that dinner date or saturday night tambay is getting 2 cocktail drinks for the price of one. And yes, Gufo Cafe has got you covered.
Before I introduce to you what we ordered during our 2 visits (within 2 months), you should know about this great deal that could score you a free cocktail! Just go to Gufo restaurant from 3 PM to 9 PM, and you can enjoy buy 1 take 1 cocktail, and there’s a lot to choose from!
Gufo buy 1 take 1 hours: 3 PM to 9 PM
Lychee martini
During our first visit, we tried the Lychee martini (I hope we remembered it right). I let hubby choose the drink since he knows more about alcoholic drinks, in the end, he asked the staff for recommendations, and this is what we got.
Sangria (red wine)
For our next visit, we tried another drink, and this time, it’s sangria’s time to shine! The large wine glass made me really giddy!
Both glasses were full of the red wine sangria with lots of bite-sized apple pieces! There’s even a slice of orange to cap off your cocktail.
If you’re looking for light and tasty drink, you should try Gufo drinks, taking note of the buy 1 take 1 promo time. That’s my opinion, since I’m not really a fan of alcoholic drinks, but hubby said their drinks are on the sweeter side.
Gufo Cafe menu
On the Gufo food menu, you’ll find lots of great stuff! You won’t know which one to order for a low-key cafe and restaurant since there are very few Gufo Cafe reviews (Quezon City).
So, I knew I had to make one for foodie adventurers like you! So, let’s head on to what we enjoyed during our 2 visits, to give you an idea on what to order should you decide to try Gufo Cafe and Lounge.
Angus beef burger
I love burgers!
So, after seeing it on the Gufo menu price, it was the first on our order list. The staff probably forgot to ask us about the doneness, but it came it out pretty great! The medium-cooked beef patties had that nice soft meat and crunchy outer cover.
The dressing, sliced tomatoes, lettuce, and red onions made every bite superb! Definitely a must-try for burger lovers! On our second visit, the staff reminded me to order the medium-well, since he saw I was with a child.
Both were great, so it just boils down to your preference of your beef doneness.
Crisp Ilocos bagnet
You can never go wrong with the Crisp Ilocos bagnet. Served with a cup of warm plain rice, this dish is composed of 250 grams of crispy bagnet, a side salsa, and 2 dipping sauces – liver sauce and vinegar.
If you’re in for that uber crispy bagnet, then you should not forget this!
Chicken and waffle
Want something sweet and savory?
Chicken and waffle will make you forget about all your worries! If you usually find a chicken breast fillet for breaded chickens, Gufo Cafe and Lounge is a whole lot different! Because instead of boring breast, they use thigh fillet, which makes for a more juicy fried chicken!
This dish comes with 4 quarter waffles and maple syrup, of course, to sweeten your palate after those great tasting chicken fillet!
Quattro Formaggi pizza
Kids and kids at heart will surely fall in love with Gufo Cafe’s quattro formaggi pizza.
Why?
Just look at the photo, and I’m sure you’ll start drooling in no time! Not good for cheese haters, though!
Gufo steak sandwich
We thought we weren’t in luck when they ran out of pizza dough during our second visit. But, it turns out, it was a blessing in disguise since we got to try their Gufo steak sandwich!
Can you imagine having tender ribeye steak slices and caramelized red onions slices topped with melted cheese in between two toasted baguette? Sounds delectable, isn’t it?
It even comes with fries, to make your meal complete! Now, all you have to do is to order it and finally enjoy that dinner date!
Tiramisu
Gufo Cafe and Lounge tiramisu is certainly not to be missed! Instead of using graham crackers for this Italian dessert, they used ladyfingers, which made it more unique compared to other cafes.
We love how the tiramisu isn’t that sweet, and the crunchy ladyfingers added texture to the usual dessert you can get. But the large serving is another thing to take note of. Perfect to pair with the cocktails or coffee you’ll also find on the Gufo menu!
Ice Cream
You’ll also find lots of ice cream choices at the end of the cafe, so if you’re bringing kids with you, they can also enjoy the sweet dessert after their meal.

Gufo Cafe (Banawe area) was something new to us, even though we go to the place very often. But, it turns out, it had been there for over a year already. I hope you get to try it too, since I assure you that there’s something you’ll find for each one in the family!
