For 12 years, restaurate­ur-chef, Colin Mackay’s Sala has been the mecca for French fine dining in Manila (22 if you count his original outpost in Malate). And deservedly so. Meticulous attention to detail, polished service, and phenomenal­ly refined cuisine make it a favourite for the serious gourmand.

• Sala’s five- course tasting menu is exceptiona­l value and showcases the range of the kitchen with dishes like swimmer crab and celeriac remoulade, with radish and hot smoked salmon.

• Made with pancetta, asparagus, leeks, and goat cheese, the gnocchi is outstandin­g. This best precedes the perfectly cooked grilled lamb cutlets with root vegetable pavé.

• Sala features an extensive scotch menu with single malts like Bruichladd­ich 16-year-old Cuvée and Balvenie 14-year-old Caribbean Cask.
