RAFFLES MAKATI CELEBRATES A YEAR IN PROVENCE AT MIREIO
Indulge in a Special Week-Long Festivity Offering Select Dishes at 365 nett

 Raffles Makati celebrates 365 days of Mireio. In-honor of its first year anniversary, the Provençal-inspired upscale brasserie will be serving a selection of its popular dishes hailing from the region from 12 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. continuously at PHP 365 nett on December 8 to December 12.

Throughout the five-day festivity, guests dining may savor select French Mediterranean favourites for lunch and dinner at the special anniversary rate. Appetizers include the signature smoked salmon tartare with Granny Smith apple and Dijon mustard cream; classic tomato tart with clams and escargot, garnished with rocket salad and parmesan cheese; and soup of green lentil with pan-seared foie gras and truffle oil. For the main course, guests may choose from a hearty selection of the very Provençal slow-cooked oxtail parmentier, traditional herb-crusted jackfish on ratatouille, and orzo with king prawns flambéed in Pastis and star anise cream. Finally, have a fill of time-old French pastries such as the well-loved apple tart tatin topped with vanilla ice cream, lavender crème brûlée for a taste of Provence, and 65% Maraicabo chocolate mousse with truffle and hazelnut crunch.
