Juri’s Cafe Revisited

July 28th, 2009 · No Comments

Last year, I posted this article: A Dutch Cafe in Manila

Since then, we have visited this place about two to three times already.  Most of the time with our Dutch business partner.  He likes this place a lot.  I couldn’t agree more.  For one, according to them, and also I agree with this that the Bitterballen (beef filled crunchy balls) they serve here is much better than the ones we have eaten in the Netherlands.  They serve exotic beers from countries like Belgium, and Germany.  Last time we went there, we gave our Team a treat.  Our business partner ordered the Duvel beer for each of them and gave a small lesson on good European beers.  I ordered a girly beer called Kriek, it’s a pink beer and it’s cherry flavoured I think.  Then they also tried a darker beer which is called Leffe Bruin.  Later, the owner served us Jägermeister, pronounced /YAY-gur-MAIST-ur on the house.  It was a strong German alcoholic drink.  Tasted like a very strong cough syrup.  But I think it was a mixture of exotic herbs.

When you enter the cafe it feels like you are really back in Amsterdam.  It has the typical look which is characterized by cozy ambience, dark wood surroundings and old world furnishing. Service is pretty good but at that time we were the only once in there.  The Cafe is in Ermita.  I hope they would stay in business for a long long time.
