PSA: They have awesome rice meals!
Board game cafes have been gaining more popularity lately—but only a few spots truly stand out. The secret? Aside from a quality board game experience, the food makes all the difference.
Before anything else, know that this place is not just a board game cafe.
Puzzles
Puzzles is a board game lounge and restaurant where friends and families come together to bond over fun board games, great food, and awesome drinks.
The restaurant was established as a 40-seater space in BF Homes, Paranaque in 2014—slowly building a board game community in the South. By 2015, they put up their second branch along Fort Strip, and soon added their Molito branch by 2016.
More than your typical board game ‘cafe’, Puzzles serves full meals, making it a great spot to dine and bond all at once. Their straightforward menu consists of comfort food that will bring you back to your childhood. Think oreos, french fries, chicken tenders, and more!
