“LJC” stands for the initials of the late Larry J. Cruz. Founder and president of the LJC chain of restaurants. In 1979, Cruz, a journalist and information man, made a career change and opened his first restaurant, a small café in a modest corner of the Remedios Circle in Malate. He named the restaurant Café Adriatico, after the street it was on.Before long, café’s sprouted all over the country – many of them wearing the same turn-of-the-century look of Café Adriatico – but none could capture the character it possessed and the magic created by the selected pieces of antiques and artworks that were tastefully put together.
