TATLER TIPS

The buffet spread is tempting but should you want something lighter, the à la carte options are just as inviting. Start with the tapas platter to sample the creamy shrimp and cheese croquetas, mejillores tigres, and figs and jam toast. The flavours range from subtle to rich; from savoury to sweet. Savour the crabmeat and uni spaghetti with a glass of Chardonnay to help balance the flavours. Make sure to save room for dessert as the restaurant is popular for its home- made ice cream and baked cheesecake, as well as the celebrated ube ensaymada— arguably one of the best you can get in town.
