DeMARS, the modern European Bistro grill that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in Sumulong Highway, Antipolo City
|
WHEN it comes to food, the power of word of mouth through friends and relatives counts a lot for us to try the restaurant or taste the food.
The taste, presentation of food, ambiance, customer service, location, price and mode of payment are some of the criteria why people come to have a food trip.

DeMARS, A Dream Come True
DeMARS was named after Chef Demar and his father Mario Regresado who passed away in 2014.
 |
| Chef Demar and R-gie Regresado |
R-gie Liwanag Regresado, the wife of Chef Demar and the general manager of DeMARS narrated that her father-in-law dreamed of having a restaurant in Philippines. She also added that the names of her husband and brothers start with the “De” like Dennis (the eldest brother of Demar) and Delfin (the youngest brother of Demar) and so the brand and company name DeMARS started. This restaurant is a manifestation of a family dream and legacy of their father. His memory and inspiration lives on in this food hub.
The Chef and Restaurateur Demar Regresado is a Filipino-British citizen with vast work experience in the hotel, culinary and kitchen operations. He blended and shaped the taste, food style and management of this start-up business backed October 28, 2015. They just celebrated their first year anniversary.
Chef Demar's father and the first generation Regresado family lived in London, United Kingdom for more than three decades and reaped success to be the first Filipino-owned grocery operator in U.K. Their store still exists and being operated by relatives.
Chef Demar and his wife fell in love with the location and the building when they first saw it then. The three-storey structure is located at Palos Verde Garden Heights, Lot 8 Block 1 Sumulong Highway, Antipolo City. They designed it with European and Filipino interiors plus the romantic atmosphere overlooking the metro view added value to the restaurant location .
Teamwork in DeMARS
Husband and wife tandem, Chef Demar, the executive chef handles all the planning and execution of food menu creations and crew training; while his wife Anne manages the marketing, finance and other operations in the restaurant.
Chef Demar started his work experience when he was 16 years old in London. He was mentored by Sir Gordon Ramsay and earned his Culinary degree with Certification in Health and Safety in Central College of Commerce of Glasgow, United Kingdom.
The bistro and grill is completed with trained crews who are attentive to the needs of their customers.
Our Gastronomic DeMARS Experience
 |
| DeMARS Moringa Focaccia Bread with Balsamic Vinegar & Olive Oil |
Oh my tummy, it’s yummy! Wow oh wow, we tasted all these:
- Amousebouche (Malunggay Potato Soup) with Moringa Focaccia Bread (with balsamic vinegar & olive oil)
- House Mix Salad
- Beef Lasagna
- Bangers and Mash (Sausages with mashed potato)
- Corn Fed Chicken
- Braised Pork Belly
- Fish and Chips
The General Manager R-gie Liwanag-Regresado said they serve healthy food in their bistro. They do not put any monosodium glutamate (MSG). All the dishes are prepared in their kitchen and freshly served. She said, if possible they use organic supplies and do not use any synthetic ingredients. One serving is good for one person but can be shared like what we did.
 |
| DeMARS House Mix Salad & Malunggay Potato Soup |
We started with DeMARS complimentary potato-moringa fusion soup with moringa focaccia bread. Definitely nutritious as they used “malunggay” or moringa, known to contain vitamin C, minerals like iron, calcium and protein. Oh, the smell of the herbs and the taste blended well. This prepares our stomach and our senses to engulf more of DeMARS food.
The couple is being mentored by Christian family Mr. & Mrs. Tamase, the owners of Natureearth Corporation with regards to healthy and organic harvest like using malunggay, vegetables, herbs and chicken.

The House Mix Salad with its strawberry-like sauce is served next to soup that is perfect to layer inside our stomach, packed with natural fiber and enzymes.

| DeMARS Beef Lasagna with Brown Sauce |
The Beef Lasagna is loaded with dark brown sauce, oozing with that Italian-British-Filipino style with spicy, sweet and lovely flavor. The Bangers and Mash (sausages with mashed potato) presentation is captivating. The dish is filling and delicious too.
The Corn Fed Chicken is delectable with the tartar sauce. The most favorite, known to be the best and signature dish of DeMARS is Braised Pork Belly. It exudes with appeal to be eaten bit by bit, to savor its finest flavors. While the crispiness and wonderful presentation of Fish and Chips posed in amazing stance is so perfect for food photography, alluring!
 |
| DeMARS Bangers and Mash |
While eating we remarked: “Ano pangalan mo? Nakalimutan ko na pangalan ko! Walang tapon, lahat masarap noh!” This means in English that we forgot our names after all the food tasting, an expression while eating to mean we are totally delighted! No waste of food, all are delicious!
 |
| DeMARS Fish and Chips |
The adage: “The great way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,” is so true and DeMARS have captivated our hearts through their good food! We can say this is more than a five-star food experience.
Oldies said, when you cook you should put your heart and soul into it so that people may feel and taste the food with love and we can say we experienced it in DeMARS. This differs DeMARS from the rest, the superior and distinct taste of food cook and serve with passion.
