Pre Valentine Dinner at Cafe Ysabel

Around 3 dinners ago, Newton has been insisting we go to Cafe Ysabel to try this burger with foie gras

So finally, we arranged our pre-valentine dinner and Paolo and Trina came all the way from the South and we came all the way from Makati through the traffic 🙂  to try this burger.  Only to find out that it was not available that evening!  🙂

But anyway, when we arrived, I felt like I was in highschool when James and I would date and go out for dinner

It was very simple back then with menus that were straight forward…though they have some dishes that are a sort of fusion yet the place was kept as is…which was nice for a change in a world where everyone is becoming modern and fast changing.  The place reminded us of our highschool days and it was nice 🙂 They put us in the smoking area since everything else was reserved…

Its a good thing our waiter moved us to this other area which became our private dining area.  We had them put the two tables together 🙂

I was the most frustrated of them all for not having the burger Newts wanted me to try- so I got the Burger Suisse instead which I really liked! It had raclette cheese  – YUMMY!
