A netizen recently sparked a lively discussion on whether high-end restaurants like Wildflour are offering value for money with the food they serve.
On Twitter, netizen @AltA2ZChannel11 said that apart from being overpriced, food was bland in four restaurants — Ana Lorenzana de Ocampo’s Wildflour, cafe chain Dean & DeLuca, BCN by Las Flores and Nono’s.
This sparked a flurry of reactions from other netizens who accused Wildflour of being overrated compared to other local bake shops. They also called out the restaurant for nurturing an elitist mentality.
Overpriced talaga yang wildflour tapos ang so-so ng pagkain!

Wild Flour – mapangmata na resto. Totoo to. They will look at you head to foot akala nila siguro walang pambayad. Gusto nila kasi mga expat at mga naka Ferrari ang kakain

Other netizens, however, were quick to defend their favorite restaurant, Wildflour.
I beg to disagree. Wildflour is good, especially their sourdough bread, mushroom bowl, bacon slab, etc. Wildflour italia has amazing flavorful pasta, and their pizza never disappoints.
