Filipino restaurant nominated for Best Restaurant Business in
Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea
The family-owned Romulo Cafe was selected as a finalist on the basis of its ability to deliver great taste, good presentation, variety of choice, great customer service and value for money. Operated by Rowena Romulo and Chris Joseph, Romulo Café is in good company -- fellow finalists include Hawksmoor Knightsbridge and Orrechino Italian, both listed in the Michelin Guide. Rowena and Chris are hopeful that their new menu of signature and tasting ‘platos’ and ‘platitos’ (sharing plates and tasting plates, respectively) will have caught the imagination of the judges enough to recognise a Filipino restaurant as the best in the royal borough.
Rowena Romulo said, ‘We’ll be at the awards flying the flag high for Filipino cuisine. This is where it’s being involved and participating that really counts. Chris and I and all the Romulo Café team, including our Michelin-trained Head Chef Jeremy Villanueva, are doing our very best to educate people on what fine Filipino food tastes and looks like.
‘We’re proud to be part of the lively Filipino Food Movement. To be recognised as one of the business champions and to be in the running for best restaurant in a borough as fantastic as Kensington & Chelsea speaks of the area’s diversity but also Romulo Cafe’s ability as a business to compete with the best. We just keep trying, every single day. Who knows? Perhaps one day we’ll find ourselves serving fine Filipino food to our royal neighbours!’
