To make sulit our trip to BF Homes I insited on trying Ble which Janet told me was one of her favourite places.  So after The Girl + The Bull we went here.

Previous entry:  The Girl + The Bull September 22, 2014

We already knew we were coming so we did not stuff ourselves .  Yeah right! haha!!

It’s literally a hole in the wall!  A very small place!  We were lucky we got a table when we went. But in a few weeks they will be opening another branch in El Grande down the road.  Please open in Makati!

Ble means blue in Greek

Which explains why it’s blue everywhere 🙂

The Greek owner Yiannis- it must be authentic 🙂

They sell also Greek products

Fresh Strawberry fruit flavoured  Fresh Greek yogurt shake

Feta Cheese with olives

The four of us shared one Mixed Grill platter! SUPER YUM!  My favourite was the chicken breast skewer among the three but they were all very good and tasty

We went to BF Homes to try the Girl + The Bull.  That is the only sign you will see, the one on the bottom

It’s in a building that looks like a castle 🙂  It’s owned by the family of The Bull 🙂  

It’s a hotel

And here it is 🙂  With a sign that says ” Yep!  You’ve found us”

Here they are!! Gab Bustos ( The Bull ) and Thea de Rivera ( The Girl ) .

They are so young!!  Only 23 years old.  They arrived when we were almost finished eating.  Apparently they had come from Makati where they are busy preparing for the opening of their second restaurant called 12/10.   12/10 is their anniversary 🙂   It will be opening in less than a month so we are looking forward to it!

Love the interiors of the place

We only go to BF Homes to see our good friends Ned and Janet! 🙂  Thank you for hosting dinner

Even the servers are so young and hip 🙂

I love short menus!  I think that short menus means they are all good 🙂  They are the best they can offer!  Everything we ordered was super yum!

Wild Arugula Salad

Mushroom Salad

This was my order which was super duper amazing!!!  Foie Gras Double Down – Buttermilk fried foie gars + Seared foie gras, bacon, smoked Gouda, balsamic maple syrup. pink peppercorn!!!  DEADLY! BUT WOW! I call it the Foie Gras Burger!!
