WHY GO
In the middle of Makati's urban jungle lies this oasis of calm and sophisticated serenity. Thus the culinary marvels within are but the icing on a wonderfully conceived and delectable cake.
TATLER TIPS
Enjoy a cocktail in the garden, then move inside and luxuriate in the uber-chic and romantically lit interiors. Dip the prawn Scotch eggs with betelnut leaf ever so delicately into the sambal. Delectable! The dry-rubbed wagyu hanger steak with mustard butter and fries reminds one of why wagyu has the reputation it does, delicate and juicy as it is. The branzino fillet is enjoyably crisp at the edges, while zesty from the lemon rocket and roast fennel. The cheesecake with macadamia praline, banana brûlée, and dulce de leche make for a wonderful but not too sweet finish.
