A Gastronomi­c Love Affair

-

What makes for a Michelin-level dining experience? For Michelin-starred Chef Jason Atherton, it is benchmarke­d by three standards: great food, quality ingredient­s, and a passionate chef. His culinary gem in Cebu, upholds these three pillars for a gastronomi­c love affair at one of the Top 20 restaurant­s in the country.

For Valentine’s Day, this modern European tapas-style restaurant The Pig & Palm whips up two delectable fivecourse menus for lovers. For starters, their palates will be teased by a Foie Gras Parfait with apple and French toast. Next, they’ll savor a Beetroot and Goat’s Cheese Risotto. For the main course, they’ll indulge in a serving of Beef Short Rib with fondant potato and braised king oyster.

Head Chef Karl Emsen has also concocted a non-meat option with Tuna Tataki with cucumber, radish and ponzu for starters and Roasted Salmon with peas, ham and lobster bisque for the main dish.

Both menus finish with a decadent Strawberry, Rose, and White Chocolate Lollipop, and Blackberry Eton Mess. These Valentine’s set menus are available for dinner on February 14 and served with a round of Cava, and priced per person.

The Pig & Palm, is cited by T. Dining’s Best Restaurant­s Guide for 2018 as one of the Top 20 Restaurant­s in the Philippine­s. It is open Tuesdays to Sundays from 11 a.m. onwards, and located at the MSY Tower, Pescadores Road, Cebu Business Park, Cebu City. The phone numbers are +63 917 657 6866 and (032) 255 8249.
