If you are within the IT Park in Lahug, one of the best places to work in is Figaro in The Walk.
Whenever we need to work within the vicinity, we almost always choose Figaro because of 3 things: 1) it has strong LTE signal from Smart, 2.) it serves good food, and 3) it isn’t as noisy as the nearby Starbucks, Bo’s and Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf outlets.
Figaro also provides enough power outlets for its customers: perfect for the digital nomad. Based on our experience working here, the place seems to have a regular set of loyal customers: some meeting clients, others working on stuff.
What helps Figaro stand out is the good food — mostly pasta dishes — that it offers on the menu.
Its staff is also polite and cheerful.
Figaro opens at 7:30 a.m. every day and closes at 1:30 a.m. on Sundays until Thursdays and 2:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
