BIGBY’S CAFÉ AND RESTAURANT FOOD EXPERIENCE in MANILA

Bloggers in Bigby’s Café and Restaurant

January 19, 2009, Bigby’s Café and Restaurant treats some bloggers with their scrumptious meals.

Bigby’s Café and Restaurant is Cagayan de Oro’s pride that started out in 1998. This big name in the food industry is finally in Metro Manila as it opened its 9th branch at SM Megamall Atrium last December 20, 2008.

Its beginning was in such an unusual time, when the people were just barely done coping with the Asian crisis that affected the country the previous year. Most people became inclined to eating out at food establishments offering quick meals and had shied away from treating themselves to a fine dining experience.

The owners saw the opportunity of offering something new for this market who were getting used to such meals, by taking them off the streets and into a nicer dining place but still paying affordable prices. And that is when this big idea began.

From then on, Bigby’s has attracted crowds of regulars and has become a favorite dining choice for its many loyal patrons. The relaxed ambiance of the place has become popular among diners and has successfully hosted many family gatherings and friendly get-togethers.

In 2000, the business was thriving steadily. Bigby’s was adding one branch after the other. The business expanded to 8 branches in Mindanao and the Visayas (2 in Cagayan de Oro City, 2 in Cebu City, 2 in Bacolod City and 2 in Davao City). And before the end of 2008, which was also their 10th year in the food industry, they opened their 9th branch and the very first Bigby’s in Luzon.

Bigby’s is on a roll to make a big mark in the food and dining scene business. If the new branch is also a success – which no doubt it will be – judging from prior forays, it will not be long before it expands to other key cities in Luzon as well.

Bigby’s is not simply a place to sit and dine, but also a destination to experience.
The restaurant’s theme is aptly: travel.

The Manila branch is filled with bits and pieces from different places in the world. Different kinds of visual treats include framed collection of key chains, swords, badges, spoons and wooden crafts displayed on the walls. Its cozy interior is made up of wooden panels and clear glasses, with writings that match the chairs and tables. The members of the crew are even dressed like explorers eager to guide diners to the ultimate Bigby’s food trip.

The menu is an adventure all on its own. Delectable dishes are inspired from here and abroad. A taste of Bigby’s is a taste of the world. And true to its name, Bigby’s serves food in big sizes and allows you to leave the place full and satisfied big time. The portions are so huge that two or more can even share a dish or a lone diner can still have some left to bring home.

Bigby’s wants to serve consistent best quality with every serving and continually leave a big and happy impression on each and every diner. With its new branch at The Atrium in Megamall, let the Bigby’s experience take you on a food trip in comfort through its cozy interiors, with shared mementos from all over the world and ultimate pampering through excellent food.
