Cafe Frederico and Crown Park Restaurant

Naga City - The Heart of Bicol has a lot of homegrown coffee shops answering to the call of 'coffeholics'. One to many is the Cafe Frederico as the in-house cafe of Crown Hotel. Because the hotel boasts the best view in the Central Business District 1 of Naga, the least thing that you can do if you're not checking in is to dine at Cafe Frederico. We have no skyscrapers in Naga that offers the best view of the city while enjoying good food, but Cafe Frederico is the closest thing we've got located on the 2nd level of Crown Hotel. It may not give us an aerial view of the whole city, but it's worth your time because the best things in Naga City can be seen up close and personal.

New Dimsums at the Crown Park Restaurant HERE

As of writing, the menu they offer is that of the Crown Park Restaurant. Mainly because many of the customers enjoy Crown Park Restaurants food while staying in Cafe Frederico which is on the 2nd level of the hotel. Soon they will serving a different menu and we're sure this is something to look forward to.

Just like staying in Crown Hotel, it offers the best view of the city day or night. Crown Park Restaurant is also one of the first Chinese restaurants in the city and in my own personal opinion, one of the best. The authentic Chinese herbs and spices is very noticeable in smell and in taste. The food plus the classic view of the city makes this restaurant special and can make you feel like a local. 

I often describe this view as that of a large screen, live feed television of Naga City, in it's pure and classic awesomeness form of Naga's city lights, cars and busy Nagueños. And as one fellow NcDecker said on our Facebook Page: "...with no commercial breaks!"

Best Sellers: Beef Brisket and new Mini Hungma Bread

Cafe Federico

Cafe Federico is a place where you can watch a part of downtown Naga City just like on a live TV. These windows (as shown in the photo) surrounding the cafe serves as your view deck of Elias Angeles Street, Plaza Quince Martires, San Franciso Church, and a part of P. Burgos St. and Penafrancia Avenue.

I just fell in love with the scenery, watching the pedestrians and vehicles pass by with old trees surrounding the Quince Martires that I could not help myself but take a few photos because I rarely dine in at this Cafe. Imagine looking at the same spot at night with the lights gleaming from the 24 hour food block, majestic lights of the church on the other side and top it off with the classic lamp posts of the plaza at the center. What makes Crown Hotel's spot very special is that, the curve bend is the turning point of INA going to Metropolitan Cathedral during Traslacion Procession every Penafrancia Festival.

While enjoying the view, one can order Cafe Federico's and The Park's favorites like the Hung Ma Bread, beef brisket, and other Chinese dishes. Oh, don't forget to order a cup of coffee while enjoying the scenery.

Cafe Federico is located on the 2nd floor of Crown Hotel Elias Angeles St. Naga City or contact them at (054) 473-1845
