Cafe Adriatico Celebrates 35 Years

It is not every day that a restaurant gets to celebrate 35 years in the business so when I got invited by OpenricePh to attend Cafe Adriatico's First Bloggers Night, I didn't think twice about it. Also, this is one of the restaurants that played a pivotal role in my life as a "foodie" years ago.

The LJC Restaurant Group celebrates 35 years in the restaurant business this year. The Group, which bears the initials of its founder, the late Larry J. Cruz (LJC), began in 1979, when LJC, a journalist and information man, made a career change and opened Cafe Adriatico at the Remedios Circle in Malate, Manila. 

And to toast 35 years in the business, Cafe Adriatico offers the Garlic Pork Leg Espanole, a celebratory dish. It is a Spanish style pork leg with fried garlic cloves and potatoes, paired with a special tangy herb sauce.
