I'm rarely in the Katipunan area so when I'm there I always grab the chance to try one of the student favorite places there.  And, that is how I ended up in Engine 46.

Engine 46 is located near F.B. Dela Rosa Street Cor. Katipunan Avenue which is near to Ateneo Gate 3.  It has a few parking slots which is a plus.



I don't recall encountering a fire station inspired restaurant before so I really appreciated the concept for its creativity.  I have high respect for fire fighters are they are really the modern day heroes which is probably why I loved the movie Firepoof and Flashpoint is one of my most favorite cooperative board games.


Check out these cool bulbs.

There are vintage memorabilia too.


Food

Appetizers

♥ Mozzarella Sticks (225 php)

I know there are other options for appetizers but I'm telling you that their basket of Mozzarella Sticks is the best pick. 

♥ Mozzarella Sticks (225 php)

Don't believe me?  See how creamy and gooey their jumbo Mozzarella Sticks holds? 


Entrees (Comes with rice, drink and mixed vegetables)

T-Bone Steak (195 php)

Engine 46 is famous for their steaks especially among athletes.  I got to try their T-Bone Steak.  It was served medium which for me didn't work so well because they provided the usual bread knife which made slicing through the ligaments quite tough.  On the bright side, I liked their blend of seasoning and gravy. 

Red Iced Tea

Pizza
I was able to try their Engine Special Pizza and ♥ Four Cheese Pizza.  I liked the latter.  Their pizzas are thin and crispy without being oily and soggy so it's great to order for sharing.

Pasta

♥ Tutto Mare (225 php)

The Tutto Mare earned all our approval.  It was a zesty tomato-sauce based fettuccine pasta topped with generous portion of shrimp and squid rings.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Engine 46 Pizza Pasta Steak has a pleasant comfortable vibe.  But perhaps, because of that and the food quality, the pricing isn't exactly student price.
