Born on Scout Limbaga
In 2014, a team of like-minded friends led by businessman and film producer Rex A. Tiri looked at a 50-year-old house on Scout Limbaga Street and saw something most people would overlook: a future. The original wooden floor panels were still intact, the grand staircase still solid, the wide window frames still telling the story of an era when Filipino homes were built to last.
Rather than gut the space for a modern look, they made a deliberate choice — to preserve it. The foyer became the main dining hall. The sala became a communal table. The upstairs bedrooms were opened into private function rooms. A garden was laid with tables for al fresco dinners under the night sky. The house was not renovated. It was reawakened.
The menu followed the same conviction: no individual portions, no single-serve dishes. Everything at Limbaga 77 is served family-style, with plenty of rice to go around — because that is how Filipinos eat at home, and that is what this place was always meant to be.
