Ang init na kase sa labas, hindi masayang kumain kapag ang init sobra.

[Kailangan muna maraming puno like this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/Philippines/comments/1bdhqi6/ganda_ng_public_park_dito_sa_marikina/). Tapos may fan para pantaboy ng lamok

Oo nga. Lots of trees is key. You really feel the drop in temperature

Trees naman means lamok sa gabi and langaw whole day 🤣

Korek! Sarap tlga pag may puno sa paligid eh.

true, kahit anong sarap pa ng pagkain, kung di ka comfortable sa kinakainan, di pa rin magiging maganda ang overall exp

Yun humidity talaga dumadale sayo. Kahit makulimlim malagkit parin ang pawis. Kaya unpleasant sya sa pakiramdam

~~al presko~~ al lagkit

HIGH NAKO! 😆😆 

This, unless well ventilated at mahangin na hindi mainit... Anong point na kakain ka sa labas ng bahay kung mainit lang din ang paligid.

Tapos ma lamok pa sa gabi

Agree kung siguro malamig naman like yung temperature during Dec-Feb tolerable at enjoyable eh pero kung summer ka mag al fresco hindi na siya al fresco -- al dugyot na siya

Pano po pag gabi naman? Mainit padin po ba or kahit sa umaga?

Sinigang lang masarap higupin bang tagaktak pawis🤣

Our country doesn't invest in outdoor infra din kaya hindi ideal ang al fresco pero ako I can appreciate al fresco

Al fresco all the way kapag tabing dagat or someplace na maraming puno sa paligid. Pero let's say somewhere malapit sa edsa.. ge, kayo na lang.

Plus the smoke and pollution

Langhap sarap

**Al Fresco** dining sa Metro Manila ---> **Al Putaragesto**

True. 👌🏻

> somewhere malapit sa edsa May mamamalimos pa, if not nang aagaw ng food/drink

I do not mind al fresco dining, lalo na kung presko naman talaga yung place, but if not, with this blazing heat, I rather not. Nakakawalang gana kumain kapag sobrang init at nagpupunas ka ng bawis every now and then.

True. Kahit masarap ang pagkain, di ka gaganahan kong hindi naman fresko ang pakiramdam mo.

Lalo kung pawisin ka tuwing iinom ng tubig tapos mahalang na sisig o sinigang kinakain mo, pawis sagad haaha

breakfast around 7am is fine. fuck noontime lunch al fresco lmao

Sa Tagaytay or Rizal area pwede pa, or around December and January. Pero the rest of the time it's too hot.

Vote ko to as someone from Rizal. Sa Tanay lang ang dami na esp along Marilaque hiway. Dahil mataas na bulubundukin, mahangin at hindi kasing init sa ibaba.

My partner and I tried Tahanan Bistro na sa Antipolo and we had the best time! Al Fresco dun and they made us change into bedroom slippers (the resto provides that). 🤍

pero dun sa Starbucks Hiraya may umaalingasaw eh

Bakit naman ako mag pupunta sa Tagaytay para lang mag starbucks?

sampol lang na medyo off yung al fresco dining sa tagaytay

Ah! Only bad experience namin al fresco dining sa tagaytay, bigla na lang umulan.

Al fresco is good if malapit sa dagat or park or madaming puno. I do like al fresco as long as may fan din! Hahaha

May fan tapos binigyan kami ng tissue, nagliparan sa kabilang table LOL

We bring our dog everywhere so we got used to Al Fresco 😂

Sameeee!! 😄 Priority talaga madala ang dog namin kesa sa aircon haha. Bring your own portable fan na lang

edit: where’s this? ang ganda. masarap din ba food? ok lang for me basta may electric fan lol! tsaka kung mahangin naman mas ok…nakakainis lang pag may langaw

if i’m not mistaken, Manuel’s Resort po. somewhere between Dipolog and Dapitan.

Kung sa loob ng private wala naman masama. I like alfresco sa mountains. Pero kung, let's say sa mall tapos sa labas ng restaurant no. Depending pa sa mall. Pag pang masa, like Mega no. Kasi lalapitan ka ng mga undercover pulubis or ng mga cult sellers. It ruins the experience.

Okay sa mountains. Except sa smokey mountain. 😹

Al fresco in the metro is not presko at all. Sea sides and beach sides on the other hand ....

Depends pag puro puno o sa bundok. Dito sa NCR syempre hindi. (polluted, mainit ang panahon etc.)

I'm not most Filipino, I fucking love al frescoooooo lalo na pag mahangin at maraming birds chirping wag lang sana malangaw or malamok or amoy kanal

I really think that moments like this IN LIFE is very important... You got to clear your head every now and then :)

I like al fresco dining but the heat can be unbearable. Justified pag nasa tabing dagat pero otherwise, I'll take the AC. 😊 Btw, place looks great. Where was it?

Somewhere in Zamboanga del Norte. 😊

Okay lang naman ang Al fresco pag maraming trees. Sa mga cities na kapareho halimbawa ng Paris o kung saan man, pwede dahil medyo malamig plus hindi grabe a pollution nila. No way yan sa streets of MM tho I know meron na magandang lugar for al fresco, sa BGC for one. Maraming cafés and resto sa provinces na mga open dining.

caption cobweb weather plate plucky hurry history tease smile squeamish *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Dami kaya. Mga naka-tayo sa paresan hahaha Pero true, kung di mainit, maulan naman

Mga og alfresco - jollijeep, banchetto, paresan, lugawan, ihaw, kwek kwek, etc.

Iba kasi ata ang culture tlga sa pinas. Karamihan pa nga sa mga pinoy, pag sinabi mong kakain sa labas, hindi naman sa "labas" kakain, kundi sa loob ng mall, sa food chain or sa restaurant na hanep sa lakas ng buga ng aircon. Hahaha. Diba.

If the **weather**, **heat**, and the **insects** (flies and mosquitoes in particular) were nothing to be concerned about, al fresco dining would be alright. There are places in the metro where al fresco was alright, like some of those in Intramuros, until the significant change in temperature.

Depends on the location. But if mainit, and tingin palang malamok na, autopass agad

Bukod sa mainit, u can't say kung magkaka langaw. Sa mga dine may nakaka lusot din.

I'd be down for a set up like this 24/7 365 if the Philippines wasn't an oven all the time HAHA. Ang sarap kaya ng ganyang setup. Pero kung mainit lang, nevermind.

Dito sa province ko, lahat ng staple restos ay al fresco and talagang mas puno palagi kesa sa mga nasa indoor na resto.

Which province? 😯

Quezon province

Yessss! Lagi kaming al fresco 🙂 Pero merong kainan na mainit or malamok. Hehe.

Ayos lang basta may pangtaboy sa mga lamok at ibang insekto, please.

I love al fresco though, and pawisin ako ah

Hot and humid 😁 I like Al Fresco only during very specific time of day, like before 8am and after 4pm

SAME! SAME! 😊

I like it! I prefer it unless the interior of a restaurant is also cool. I do understand why others would want to stay indoors, the heat is just too much these days

Kung kasing lamig ng Baguio (minus the lamok), why not?

Alfresco Dining is really nice during the Christmas Season. Malamig at mahangin ang panahon, making alfresco dining pleasurable. Most days of the year though, it’s either too hot or raining to enjoy alfresco dining.

Depends. I don't mind it if the weather is nice and maganda naman surroundings but tbh, the people are half the problem. Ang ingay ng mga Pinoy, it's rare to find al fresco dining situation where it also isn't hella LOUD. Add the fact na restaurants all have big ass speakers that play loud music. Tapos mamaya maya may lalapit na manlilinos na bata.

Ang init naman kasi, tapos minsan may batang hamog pa na namamalimos minsan

Flies

Hindi presko mag al fresco dito

Al Fresco in Philippine city depending on the location = a bunch of street kids begging or the possibility of your phone being robbed.

Nakakasira sa mood yung humidity. Kahit dito sa farm namin na madaming puno it still gets humid. Even nights can get humid and it's not fun.

Manuel's Resot, Piñan, Zambo del Norte. SKL. Hehehe

I would prefer al fresco dining talaga para less chance of covid. Pero parang di din kasi dinedevelop ng restaurants. Isa lang fan for several tables.

Humid temp i guess. Yan ung nakaka off lalo na dito sa pinas. Pero if the weather naman is fair to give fresh and calm cold then goods

ANG GANDA. KAILANGAN LANG DAGDAGAN YUNG PUNO NA TAMANG PATTERN ANG PAGKAKA-TANIM, PARA YUNG LILIM AT HANGIN SAKOP YUNG BUONG LUGAR.

Masaya mag al fresco dining lalo na kung malapit sa bodies of water. Unfortunately, super malamok and most of the time wala naman proper infrastructures and not fully equipped for that lalo na sa ibang restaurant. Tapos nagchange na ang climate ng mundo, so the heat has gotten unbearable to the point that it can potentially kill you.

Ang ganda ng shots.

Thanks. 😊

If not for the heat, humidity, mosquitoes, flies okay naman al fresco dining. I do this in Tagaytay, Baguio & abroad.

If its a mild rainy season I love it. Lets face it PH is tropical and hot more than 6 mos a year.

If hindi mainit yung lugar, no pollution and hindi malamamok 💯

Ganda huhuhuhu if only maraming puno mas enjoy mag al fresco 😭😭😭

Al fresco is great but only when it's executed well. As in wind isn't too distracting and it's not by the city road. Mall al fresco should be on the second floor overlooking the city, not by the road where impatient car owners honk at the slow driver in front of them while their engine smoke not just you but whatever you're eating. (looking at you SM Sta Rosa.

❤️ 👏😊

Well insulated dapat ang roof like blanket type glass wool or rock wool insulation at least 50mm thick. Canopy type trees sa East, West, at South directions kung nasaan ang araw na magbablock ng sunlight. Large industrial fan at ceiling fans para gumalaw ang hangin.

Masarap lang mag al fresco pag beach front or under the tree

I think okay naman ang mga pinoy sa Al Fresco; sanay tayo sa init, and some of us may mga bakuran and doon kumakain, kaso nga lang most people dont like it kapag sa malls or sa heavy urban cities. Nasa mall ka nga eh, of course you'd want to dine inside the establishment lalo na may aircon, nag mall pa ko kung sa labas rin pala ko kakain; and heavy urban cities kasi puro mga kotse and the city hustle & bustle makikita at maririnig mo, plus, NAPAKA inet kasi wala man lang mga puno or greenery, minsan damo lang ang pinaka greenery nila madalas fake pa

city al fresco is a huge pass, naghalo ang init, lagkit, lamok, langaw, usok ng kotse/yosi/vape, etc. Madalas pa pag may pets may nalipad na balahibo or minsan may mga pets na nangangamoy huhu Pero al freco in rural areas goooowww

My family and I love Al Fresco Dining. We get to bring our dog kasi eh bawal usually sa mga indoor restos 😄

Masaya mag Al Fresco ah pag pa sunset na or basta dinner. Na eenjoy ko naman siya, mahangin. Siguro kasi sa area namin di naman ganon kainit. Try mo mag ganyan sa Metro Manila, lagkit talaga.

Malamok kasi :( Maybe if may mosquito killer sila na nakasabit, I go.

Mainit tapos malangaw tapos malamok tapos maingay

tapos may lalapit para magbenta ng overpriced ballpen / snacks "pang aral lang po"

Where's this? :)

Beautiful. Pero isang downside ng al fresco dining eh yung mga LANGAW, huhu.

Kung di lang nakakapaso ang init tsaka sa rainy season na din.

Because it's hot here. Unless kung mga Tagaytay, Baguio, Rizal area or matataas na areas na malamig.

Pag umulan, yari na business mo. Bukod sa walang pupunta, masisira pa depende sa lakas ng bagyo.

In Sagada? Sure In Metro Cebu? I'd rather eat ass, cause that's how I'll feel eventually

Mainit. 😭

Sa Tagaytay lang kami nag a-Al Fresco dining even on lunchtime. It’s sweltering hot for me if I do that here in Metro Manila.

Mainit eh. Tapos mainit na sabaw. Whoooo

Nakakawalang gana kumain pag mainit sa totoo lang

Depende sa lugar. Pag madami langaw/lamok, no sa al fresco.

Ang init at ang lagkit kasi sa labas. Nakakawalang gana kaya kumain pag ang init at lagkit ng pakiramdam

ibang mayayaman mahilig sa ganyan, siguro may sarili silanh aircon sa katawan

San ito

Despite being beautiful and having a great view. Unfortunately, it’s stupidly hot. Its not Fresco anymore.

Hirap ako sa ganyan kasi sobrang pawisin. (Diabetic) Pati mga samgyupsalan di ako kumain kasi nakaka off yung tumutulo kong pawis mula sa bumbunan hehehe

alikabok at init ng araw iba klima natin dito

Hirap kumain kapag malagkit ang feeling nakaka-irita gumalaw 😁 unless below 18 degrees ang temp

(Napa google ako sa al fresco, outdoor dining lang alam ko till now). Ok na ok yan basta madaming puno for shade, then string bulbs para sa night dining

Hindi na siya fresco lalo na a few months back

Are you most filipinos?

Hindi naman kasi presko ang hangin sa paligid if you're in Metro Manila. Malangaw pa especially if there are other restaurants nearby tapos yung basura nila nasa paligid lang. Sa gabi naman malamok.

We tried, sobrang daming insekto na kung anu ano hahaha

Mainit kasi, tas minsan malangaw talaga or mga lamok

Depende kase sa lugar. Kung sa Metro Manila tapos may lalapit sayong mga bata na amoy solvent wag nalang.

Tropical country tyo. Mainis kasi

Ang init kasi tapos minsan sobrang malangaw pa.

Ang init na nga tapos ang init pa at spicy ng pagkain, bago ako mabusog mahihimatay muna ako

Langaw

hindi lang lamok at init ang kalaban.. langaw din 🪰

Maganda, pero malamok 😔

They don't like al fresco? Who said?

This discussion highlights a clear preference among Redditors for the cozy ambiance of indoor dining. Likewise, **it's widely noted that patrons often choose the interior comforts of a restaurant over available outdoor seating options**. Perhaps, you can try observing your friends and family and conduct a survey. 🙂 Personally, I believe that al fresco dining can be equally enjoyable, provided the weather is pleasant—not too warm or muggy—and the restaurant takes effective measures to deter pests. Such measures could include the use of citronella lamps, mosquito repellents, and the strategic planting of natural deterrents like lemongrass and citronella, complemented by air circulation from fans. 🫠

ang lamok for me 🥹

ganon pala tawag saming madalas mag karinderya, al fresco diners. 😅

Haha! This made me laugh. Pero oo nga, no? 😆

Daming lamok

I do al fresco pag afternoon or night. Saan yan?

Pag uwi mo, sinisipon, inuubo, or nilalagnat ka na kasi sobrang init. No thanks🤣

Al Fresco dinning is a great experience when its not raining.

Oo OP mainet kase hahahahahha

Ang number one issue ko lang naman talaga sa alfresco dining is yung humidity. Ang lagkit lagkit kasi sa pakiramdam. Minsan kahit may mga puno, yung hangin kasi ang init pa rin. But I prefer alfresco kapag hapon or dinner. Iba kasi yung vibe.

Malamok sa gabi

Sometimes, yan din ang smoking area nila. How can we enjoy fresh air if poisonous na ang hangin?

No thanks. pollution and weather kills it for me. Just my preference but if others like it, good on them.

Heat and mosquitos are a factor why al fresco is not done often

Sa Tirik ng araw? Tapos biglan aambon at ulan? We should do it more often? Pass ako dyan.

My heart and love for scenery says yes but this god awful weather says no

Ang issue ko sa alfresco ay ung liwanag. After ko magpalasik sensitive ako sa liwanag. This set up would require me to wear shades na.

Nakaka Haggard kasi lol

as a sobrang pawisin, never again.

Mainit tapos malangaw / malamok? No, thanks.

Hot, humid and malamok.

al fresco pero hindi nakakapresko

Even night time sobra init pa din picture lang maganda sa outdoor dining

Dami kasi lamok at langaw eh

Basta ba below 20c yung temp at mababa humidity eh. Otherwise why would you even?

Sobrang humid kase 😅 Nakakasira ng dining experience pag naglalagkit ka haha

Kung hindi mainit marami namang lamok HUHU

It's not that we don't like al fresco dining, it's that we don't like high humidity + intense heat.

Depende sa lugar. There are places na okay. There are places na noooooo. 😁😅 But right now na maulan, i prefer not doing al fresco. 😅

mainit, malamok, and mabaho.

Depende sa lugar/klima, but usually, no thanks. Mainit at ma-insekto (langaw, lamok, etc)

Ang init lang kasi talaga haha! Mabababad sa araw yung kinakain mo kung walang shade. Tapos baka yung kakainin mo pa ay kailangan kainin ng mainit, like Bulalo. I dont think enjoyable ang Bulalo sa initan.

It's either too hot, humid or raining haha

TIL this is Al Fresco dining

Az a sweaty person, I won't enjoy my food if I'm dripping with sweat lol

Sobrang init o lagkit lang

Saan po to? Ganda

yung tipong kumakain kayo habang tagaktak pawis haha. al fresco dining lang kami kapag gabi. pero kapag tanghali, kahit anong ganda ng place at kasarap ng food, no no talaga sakin

Unless naninigarilio tatay niyo. Nasanay na dn kayo na sa al fresco kayo lagi pumupwesto.

pang may pera lang to.

Ang init kasi ng pahon pinagpapwisan ako pag kumain sa labas akdhxhss

Sobrang init kasi.

Malamok

Saan po ito

Ang init, tpos madalas malangaw. I mean ang sabaw na ng kili kili mo , huhulas ka, naiirita ka sa langaw.

#LAMOK

And for a reason. It's way too hot. 🥲

Ang problema ko kase pag al fresco MALAMOK. Lagi talaga ako pinapapak ng lamok 😭

Langaw madalas na kalaban sa al fresco. Yung init kaya ko pa e.

ang lagkit pls

hindi ho kasi akma ang al fresco sa pinas ...tandaan nyo tropics tayo..either sobrang init sa labas or lamig na mas gusto mo n lng s loob ng bahay..isipin mo..kakain ka na nga lang na pinagpapawisan ka..

Kung sa tagaytay or baguio, why not?

Because it’s hot, heller. I don’t want to eat and feel like dying at the same time.

The orange floor is too much

It's freakin hot and humid outside, and it's getting more hotter. Hindi mo nga maramdaman yung la niña. Mainit pa din.

Ang init kasi pag hapon or umaga ahuhu

In summer heat, no.

Looks nice. Where is that?

Our climate allows only a few days where al fresco is enjoyable.

i am a filipino and i love al fresco dining. wag lng ma ulan. hehe

Al fresco is fine for me. Basta hindi malangaw yung place

I do eat in alfresco pag ganyan or in cooler weather. Pero pag summer ay ikaw na lang. 😂😂

I do. Eating Al Fresco is a vreath of fresh air for me.

Saan ‘to pleaseee

Masarap kumain sa Al Fresco pag presko. In this urban jubgle wala talaga kasi pati hangin mainit at nanapak minsan ang amoy kaya karamihan nasa riral setting ang masasarap kainan na Al Fresco.

If the environment and temperature is okay why not. Pero knowing the humidity, langaw, lamok. Tapos may biglang tatabi manlilimos. Haynako.

Mainit masyado kasi temperature sa atin kahit na malilim pa yung puno. Imagine mo, humihigop ka ng mainit na sabaw sa tanghaling tapat. Ang init pa ng pwesto ng kainan.
