The Tatler Dining Guide Philippines
Fireside
WHY GO
Like its parent establishment Kettle, Fireside is all about serving great-tasting comfort food in generous helpings—but with a more relaxed, younger feel. Here, classics like Caesar salad and fried chicken fingers are given a tasty modern twist: the former comes with a generous slab of grilled bacon, while the latter is given additional savour by being brined for 24 hours in buttermilk before being dredged in buttery Ritz cracker crumbs and Cajun seasoning.
TATLER TIPS
• While comfort food is Fireside’s chief stock- in- trade, healthier items like the grilled halibut and salmon gravlax tartare are just as flavourful and appealing.
• The Southern fried chicken sandwich is a popular treat and you can order it full-sized or in slider form.
• The tamarind iced tea is a refreshing option and the tamarind margarita is an exotic take on a classic cocktail.
