Cafe Racer Diner

Dumaguete


The American-car-culture theme is obvious from the decor: antique petrol tanks, gas-drum chairs and an old VW van parked inside. Less so from the menu that mixes Filipino dishes such as squid balls and kwek kwek (fried quail eggs) with hot dogs and Philly-cheese steaks. Most recommended for drinks – draught beer actually flows from those petrol tanks.
