This café gives off the impression of a café/restaurant within a hotel, and offers a small selection of light meals and desserts, with a corner dedicated for showcasing and selling an interesting mix of accessories, apparels, bags and what-nots.
If you are expecting large portions or a lot of variety, you can skip this place. As mentioned earlier, Octa Hotel offers a (really) small selection of light meals (about 2-3 pages on the menu - booklet form) and (it seems to have more) desserts. The light meals looked like they were more appropriate for breakfast. Otherwise, it makes for an interesting dining (snacking?) experience.

The lunch special at that time |
The French toast is nothing close to what that I have eaten before, it is sweet and fluffy topped with berries and cream. It was not too sweet and the flavors complimented each other surprisingly well. It also looked pretty.

For the Tri-color sandwich, the egg that came with it was flavorful, fluffy and moist; the combination of egg, lettuce, cheese and tomatoes was nice and healthy.

Tri-color sandwich - the nachos were a little too little don't you think? |
As for the Bacon and Egg Sandwich, the slices of bread used were thick but not hard and dry. It was rather moist and nice.

Overall, while service was prompt and good, the menu was a little sparse, the (meal) portions (might be) too light for the (very) hungry and the prices a little (too) high for certain items, which might not be agreeable with everyone. Rather than coming across as sophisticated and classy, the décor and setting looks more adorable and sweet.

Sugar anyone? ^^ |
I attribute the high pricing due more to the rental of the café than the actual perceived value the café/food is supposed to deliver. Regardless, the desserts and parfait looked pretty yummy (on the menu) and are on my to try list the next time I go there.
