La Condessa Cafe + Lounge Is Closing

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/lacondessaph/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">La Condessa Cafe + Lounge</a>—known to regulars as The Countess—was as much a personality as a restaurant. With its chandeliers, plush seating, and Instagram-ready corners, it helped reshape the look and feel of Tomas Morato, turning a strip once dominated by steakhouses and family cafés into a neighborhood where stylish, celebratory dining felt at home. But come March 15, 2026, La Condessa itself will close: the restaurant announced on Instagram that it is inviting diners to “come say goodbye at our usual spot” before the lights dim for the last time.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17727253789531.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>The Countess made Morato dining uber chic | Photo: La Condessa</div><div> </div>The restaurant spread across two levels in CTTM Square, with plush indoor seating and a separate outdoor area where diners could linger over drinks. Coffee played a prominent role — from single‑origin brews like the Beso de La Condessa rose latte and Hot Regia — to iced selections served alongside desserts such as red velvet and mascarpone cheesecake. The kitchen offered a wide roster of dishes that blended local and global flavors, from truffle pasta and pollo romesco to Filipino plates like kare‑kare, adobong pusit, and tinumis. It was casual enough for a weekday dinner, but special enough for a first date, a birthday, or a long‑overdue catch‑up with friends. <div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17727254297117.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Beautiful interiors that took you from coffee to cocktails | Photo: La Condessa</div>La Condessa confirmed its closing yesterday with a farewell message on Instagram: “All good stories have a final chapter, and ours is coming to a close on March 15, 2026. From the first toast to the last bite, serving this community has been an absolute dream. We’d love to see your faces one last time before we dim the lights. Let’s make these final days the most memorable ones yet!” The post also reminded diners that walk-ins and reservations would be accepted through March 15, inviting everyone to “come say goodbye at our usual spot.”For anyone who has lingered over a cocktail or celebrated a small occasion here, there’s still time to return before March 15, 2026. Pull up a chair under those chandeliers one last time, raise a glass, and say farewell to The Countess, who helped make Morato feel a little brighter.
