    Your point is well taken. But they took away a relatively rare menu to replace it with what amounts to yet another another turoturo, except this one is with table service. Let’s see...that makes four, maybe five, turoturos on that three blocks of street. Wish I could cook adobo....I would love to open a Filipino restaurant on that block.

    It's helpful to know they do Filipino food dishes as well for the wife/partner/gf/significant other/"her indoors"

    Seems the relatively rare menu wasn't all that popular. Expats are an extremely unreliable source of income when it comes to restaurants. Cheap Charlies the vast majority of them are. Nothing wrong with that of course...it's just really hard to sustain western food standards when people aren't willing to pay for it. D*mn that free market! :wink:

    It’s hard to dismiss Ludwig’s menu as not popular when they were open for all of, what?, one month? Six weeks? As a restaurant that is. Even that precious free market will tell you a new restaurant will lose money for the first year until it catches on and people make it a regular stop. Many foreigners are Cheap Charlies because you can’t magically find money from a fixed income that was only adequate to live in the Philippines (or similar), and not at home.

    They have been around longer than that. They have opened and closed several times over the last, at least, 1-2 years and maybe longer than that. I tried to go there several times in the past but the place was closed for unknown reasons every time I went...so I just stopped trying. I actually have the money to become a regular customer, but I am not going to waste my time on businesses that can't keep to the hours on their doors.

    So it seems they either have no idea how to run a business or their products just aren't that popular.

    I know why many foreigners are cheap. I said there was nothing wrong with it. All I was saying is that foreigners are an extremely unreliable customer base.

    Imho it was not a restaurant but a cafe in the bakery, huge difference in my world, same with Ludwigs bakery in Dumaguete the have also a cafe and it's not a restaurant in my world, but maybe we have a different point of view what a restaurant is

    If you are looking for non filo food, there is the place upstairs near the 7/11 called SPICE.

    Specializes in Thai and Indian style foods.

    Not sure how long it’s been open for but only stumbled upon it a few days ago and gave it a try.
