Mogwai is a haven for those who crave a taste of something different,
a great hangout with a rural heart in the bosom of the urban metro. In
both its menu and ambience, it's a melting pot of Filipino tastes,
serving up the best of the traditional and the eclectic, the familiar
and the new.
A café and restaurant, Mogwai serves the best home-style cooking in a
setting as homely as a rustic watering hole. With a menu especially
prepared for the no-frills but discerning diner, it also offers a good
selection of native coffees and drinks for those who enjoy a hearty
discussion after their meals.
On the second floor, Mogwai has a cinema room dedicated to showing all
sorts of films from Hollywood classics to underground cinema,
art-house fare to Pinoy grindhouse flicks. Run by practicing
filmmakers and film scholars as consultants, it is the only other
cinema aside from the U.P. Film Center and Cultural Center of the
Philippines to have no censorship restrictions in the country. With
its excellent audio-visual facilities, it will have a minimum of 9
screenings, 6 films a week and will consistently premiere the best
indie short films and features. Workshops and discussions with top
directors, cinematographers, writers and other technicians will be
held regularly both for the budding filmmaker and cineastes.
(Discounted workshops rates for members.) Unit 62 & 63 Cubao Expo, Gen. Romulo Ave., Cubao mogwaifilm@yahoo.com Open from 6pm-2am (adjustments may be made for private functions and special events)
