Sto Nino Village is a residential area in Banilad with bird names for street names. Dove street is a bit far from the main gate, and unless you don't mind walking amidst rows and rows of other people's houses, you will need a car or cab. 10 Dove is actually a residential corner-lot, half of which is turned into a cozy little cafe with the most darling decors.The menu consists of sandwiches, cakes, salads and soups. They also serve popular white and red wines. For Php 60 per sandwich, it's actually a good deal considering you get to dine in a cutesy place.
My favorite is the Pilgrim's Harvest sandwich. An order will get you generous servings of ham and cranberry jam. Unfortunately, you will hate the bread. It's suppose to be toasted wheat bread but it crumbles all over you.The service is fine. The waiters are attentive without being overly solicitous. They, however, are prone to mispronouncing half of the menu items.
Parking is difficult because you have to haggle with the neighborhood yayas to let you park on their driveways.
A little warning though, last time we checked, we could not get an official receipt. Turns out, the place does not have a business permit! It's a little unnerving, really.
