But aside from their heavenly desserts, Nic’s has also started serving their very own gourmet food as well.

Their vegetable lasagna, with healthy, delicious layers of pasta, mozzarella, basil, spinach, and thyme, is an all-time favorite. Love breakfast food? Try Nic’s best-selling rice meals such as their crispy adobo flakes, sirloin tapa and arroz ala Cubana, all served with a sunny-side-up egg and garlic rice on the side. This quaint resto also features new fish dishes such as their spaghetti with spicy tuna capers, milkfish finger rolls, crispy fried appetizers filled with shredded milkfish and glass noodles or milkfish bistek. For those who want to save themselves from the stress of preparing food for a party, Maggie’s East Coast Turkey (baked to perfection with all the trimmings: stuffing, buttered corn, cranberry sauce and gravy) is the perfect addition to any event.

Need to beat the heat this summer? Brave the heatwave with their signature frappes made with ground gourmet chocolate bars as one of their ingredients.
