Have tried Cafe Ilang-ilang's buffet three times and the buffet selections never fail to disappoint. Wednesday night is "Japanese night" and the Japanese section had a wide selection of Japanese dishes. My favorite is the fresh seafood section where mountains of crabs, shrimps, mussels and oysters rest on fresh shaved ice. We always go for the oysters and ask the... More

I amazed on how they arrange the buffet, though the halal food corner is a bit more to the real corner, but, all what you want, you can get here.. Menu variation during breakfast and lunch completely different and you can see what the Philippine like for breakfast, Garlic Steam Rice, Fish and Tapas.. on the luncheon, you name it,... More

Cafe Ilang-Ilang is so big and offers a wide selection for its breakfast buffet from Congee to various breads and cheeses, to various types of noodles and the usual cereals. The centerpiece is a chocolate fountain that is about 2feet high with marshmallows and different types of fruits. At that time, it even served plain taho (soy bean) and ube... More

For a hotel buffet restaurant, I expected more from Cafe Ilang Ilang at the Manila Hotel. There was a large selection of dishes, but the pricier items (steaks, seafood) were not done very well, perhaps to discourage diners from eating a lot of these. The Italian station was tasty, and so were the desserts. The Peking duck and dimsum were... More

I like the new look of cafe ilang ilang. The last time I was here was years ago . I always come to this restaurant whenever in Manila for some good Filipino favorites. They serve the best bibingka and pancit luglug.

I am reviewing this based on comparing it with other high end hotel buffet in Metro Manila. Selection of food is good but I appreciate more of a quality rather than quantity. Don't expect that you can eat all of the dishes since you are given so much selection. I would recommend the pizza section, the japanese sushi section, the... More

We had dinner there with a client who wanted a good dinner steak - but quite disappointed... Place was ok - food selection not bad although since we are there for the steak - quite disppapointed, Service was good but parking is terrible.

I've always loved this place even when I was young. It's the typical breakfast/lunch meeting place if you find yourself in Manila. Food was delicious then...and so it is too, now! Their buffet offering is quite extensive from local, to European to Asian fusion. Very impressive Cheese & chorizo & deli selection! The ambience a plus! I just hope they... More

Cafe Ilang Ilang has definitely caught up with the times! I still remember eating sunday lunch with family there years ago and they had flowery patterned chair covers and limited buffet choices. But now, after visiting recently it has improved a lot. I have to commend the chefs with the satisfying, tasty and dizzying array of food. The ambience is... More
