There appear to be two solutions for y. You might wish to use contour
plot instead of implicit plot. If you supply the values of u that you
would like to use, people might be able to help you with the plotting.

eqns={u==Cos[x]+0.3*(y-0.1*Cos[x])^2,
phi==0.36 (y-0.1 Cos[x])^2+(-Sin[x]+0.06 (y-0.1 Cos[x]) Sin[x])^2}
eqns[[2]]/.Solve[eqns[[1]],y]
