With a mixture of emotions, we share bittersweet news: Cafe Via Mare in Greenbelt 1 will close its doors for the last time on March 31. This closure is not of our choosing, but rather a consequence of the impending demolition of the iconic Greenbelt 1 building.
This location holds a special place in our hearts as the birthplace of the first Cafe Via Mare. Since the 80s, it has been a beacon of Filipino culinary excellence, pioneering the concept of a truly Filipino café and offering beloved dishes like Bibingka, Puto-Bumbong, Pancit Luglog, and Dinuguan.
Saying farewell to this chapter fills us with profound sadness. Its walls bear witness to laughter, conversations, and shared moments of thousands who have dined within. But as one chapter closes, another begins. We eagerly anticipate welcoming you to our new home in Greenbelt 5 soon, where we'll continue to serve your favorite Filipino classics and create new memories together.
Before we close our doors in just a couple of weeks, we invite you to join us for one last meal in our original Cafe Via Mare, where our journey began. Let's indulge in a final taste of nostalgia before bidding adieu to this beloved chapter in our lives.
Thank you once again for your unwavering love and support at our Greenbelt 1 location. Here's to honoring the past, embracing the present, and looking forward to the future of Via Mare.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Your family
