We wanted to take out our friend, Pam, who is here on vacation and we were so happy to discover this new restaurant at Bonifacio High Street. I heard about it from my sister Krie so i recommended it… It was a good choice. We liked the ambience, the food and most of all the company
They just opened and are still partially finished. The private room, the deli, pastry counter, wines, breads, etc are still not yet available. They will also be selling the meats that come from the Del Monte Farms.
It is owned by Del Monte ( which explains all the pineapples and the plantation interiors ) in partnership with Center for Culinary Arts (CCA)
Pam lives in the States so we see hardly see her.
We are happy whenever she comes because it is the only time we have a reunion of our Spain group… Ana, Babylyn, Maricar, Pam and I
Babylyn, Maricar, Pam and I lived and studied together in Madrid for one year while Ana was in Barcelona. Ana visited us, so we adopted her as part of our Spain group. Hopefully our next reunion will be in Spain! 🙂
Since they are on dry run, they are giving a 20% discount! 🙂 So hurry and try it!!!
We met one of the chefs, Carina Guevara. She conceptualized the menu for the restaurant.
Tomato Fondue with Mozzarella and Parmesan Croutons – of course this is my order and loved it! The tomato fondue is good also to add to any dish as a sauce so we asked for a teaspoon to scoop it out and put it on our plates
Pan-fried Angel Food Cod Cakes with Corn Chowder Sauce
Flatbread with Arugula – Goat Cheese, Roasted Garlic, Walnuts, Olives and Olive Oil
Prime Burger with Grilled Pineapple, Bacon and Caramelized Onions
Pan Seared Roast Beef with Gratinated Potatoes with Bernaise Sauce – This dish was ordered by Ana and we all liked it. It is made form their locally grown meat from the Del Monte farms. The beef was tender and tasty. It was very good and was more than enough for the 5 of us. We had two more other main dishes. It was a good share for only P 995.00. WORTH IT!
Ravioli of Cream Cheese, Parmesan and Pine Nuts
Creamy Banana Trifle with Billowy Meringue and Hot Fudge Sauce
Key Lime Pie with Whipped cream
Telephone #: 856-6301
Ground Floor, Building 3, Fort Bonifacio High Street ( near Starbucks )
