Republic of Cavite




Had to visit the Cavite Provincial offices in Trece Martirez to work on some land transactions.  We left Manila before the 9am morning rush, and took the new route to Kawit using the Cavitex highway.  It was a short strip, maybe under ten kilometers, but the P65 toll was worth it as we bypassed the heavy traffic in the town centers of Bacoor and Imus.  While our business was done even before lunchtime, we decided to stay a bit longer and have lunch in the area.  After roaming around for some 10 minutes looking for interesting eating places, we found the Republic of Cavite, which is a multi-cuisine restaurant located just a stone's throw away from the Provincial Hall.


Classic look with the spired tower...




Feels just like home...




The restaurant menu includes BBQ and grill items, Pinoy dimsum, steaks & salad, but the staple cuisine is still Filipino food.  Imagine our lunch--gambas for appetizers, adobong pusit, fried chicken, rellenong bangus, and sweetened camote for dessert!  Dishes were tasty, prepared in the traditional Filipino way.  We spent some P450 per head, and we were quite full as we made our way back to our vehicle.
