Philippines - Manila. Makati
A delightful French restaurant located in the heart of Makati. The space is bright, beautiful, and perfect for a special dinner.
Food:
We sampled several dishes from the à la carte menu, focusing on small plates:
Every dish we tried was exceptional.
We commenced with a petite appetizer, a tartlet filled with foie gras mousse—exquisite, delicate texture inside, harmoniously paired with a crispy tartlet. The flavor of foie gras lingered delightfully as we savored each bite, striking a perfect balance.
The scallops were impeccably fried—crispy exterior, tender interior.
The pan-fried foie gras was a highlight; luscious, melting in the mouth, tender, fatty, with a subtle sweetness, embodying the essence of this prized delicacy.
For the main course, we opted for lobster pasta and artichoke gratin.
The pasta was flawlessly cooked—al dente texture, a well-balanced sauce that wasn't heavy but perfectly coated. The lobster was expertly prepared—tender and succulent.
The artichoke gratin stole the show—an exceptional, vibrant, and uniquely flavorful dish.
Atmosphere:
The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant; the only drawback was the excessive noise, causing echoing voices that made it slightly challenging to converse comfortably.
Service:
The service was commendable, though it may not have reached the standards of fine dining establishments. Nevertheless, we felt well-attended to; the waitstaff was attentive, prompt in clearing dishes, and ensuring drink refills.
I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant; your dining experience is sure to be satisfying. It's the kind of establishment that leaves you willing to return for another round of such delectable dishes.
