Conti’s is best known for its Mango Bravo Cake, Baked Salmon, Roast Beef, Garlic Sotanghon, Chicken Pies, and Ensaymada. There are other choices on the menu, but these are the most sought-after. If you haven’t had a chance yet to taste any of the bestsellers, oh no! don’t go missing out!
I’m from the South of the Metro, particularly in Las Piñas, and one of those many people who lined up back in the day at their BF Parañaque branch for our Christmas Mango Bravo Cake. It was a special request by elders in the family, and fortunately, I was able to grab one hahaha.
Anyway, it’s always a delightful experience dining in at any Conti’s branch, now with 71 stores nationwide and serving more than 150 delicacies! I haven’t tried them all yet hahaha coz we always order their famous dishes.
A bit about how Conti’s started:
In the late 90s, three women who would later come to be known as the “Conti Sisters” – Cecille, Carole, and Angie started a humble food business from their garage. It’s hard to believe now that they used to serve neighborhood favorites such as Baked Salmon, Garlic Sotanghon, and Ensaymada in a makeshift kitchen in Paranaque 25 years ago.
Angie, the youngest of three sisters, says it was her ate Carole who loved trying new food and was already planning to have a food business with her two sisters back then. Carole lived in the United States in the 1990s, during which time she sharpened her cooking and baking skills. She then moved back to the Philippines with a collection of cookware and a few “hard-to-find” ingredients. Finally, the 3 three sisters opened a business. Carole was the chef, while sisters Cecile and Angie served as the tasters and order-takers.
Looking back, all it took were some good recipes, a dream to continue bringing together good food and people, and their innate flair for hospitality to create a menu that satisfied the neighborhood’s taste for
delightful meals and delicacies. Conti’s is building upon a tradition passed down from the Conti sisters’ parents.
Imagine, Conti’s Bakeshop & Restaurant is already in its 25th year and still growing strong reaching more Filipinos with its homegrown brand of hospitality and culinary excellence.
The smell of freshly baked cake or freshly served food has a way of instantly lifting one’s spirits. It takes us back to the happy times spent around the family table, and those memories are hard to forget. Conti’s story reflects the importance of family, tradition, and the love we feel for each other and our guests. It’s a 25-year-old tale of delightful food and service, resilience and perseverance through good and bad times, of the best of the modern-day Filipino family.
Conti’s Bakeshop and Restaurant provides delicious food, whether you choose to dine in, take it out, drive through, have it delivered, or reserve a function room for your next event.
