Recovery Food announces closure after 14 years

No more late-night runs to Recovery Food.

The 24-hour casual dining restaurant officially announced the closure of its last branch, BGC Crossroads, on Nov. 12.

"After 14 years of serving comfort food and making memories, our doors are now officially closed," it announced.

"Thank you for every visit, every meal shared, and every memory made with us. You made Recovery Food feel like home. Maraming salamat sa pagmamahal. With love, RF Family," it continued.

Recovery Food became an instant hit for anyone in need of a hearty rice meal—whether they were morning runners, partygoers, or graveyard-shift workers powering through the night. Fan favorites include Tapa de Morning, Amadobo, Doc Sisig, and Barcia Strips.

As one Facebook user put it, "You guys were literally our comfort food for OT/crunch time. A reward for having survived brain-depleting days."

"Thank you RF, comfort food ka namin for those tiring graveyard shifts," another one wrote.

"Recovery Food was an intrinsic part of my party animal days in BGC. So sad to see the symbols of those unforgettable days totally fade away," another one said.

Recovery Food was founded in 2012 by restaurateur Malou Fores of Mamou, opening a branch at BGC Crossroads. It also had stores in BGC Stopover, Molito Alabang, Makati, Mandaluyong, and Quezon City.
