SAVOY BISTRO - Haute cuisine in the heart of Makati




Savoy Bistro - Haute Cuisine in Makati


"Savoy Bistro’s classic continental cooking is inspired by early European Cuisines from France, Switzerland, Savoie, Sweden, Russia and Hungary, creating a haute cuisine dining experience with recipes from as early as 1730 to 1910."

"Set within the East Asian Art Gallery, Savoy Bistro promises a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. Dine among carefully selected pieces of art by various artists from the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Cambodia and Indonesia."



Chef Robert Lilja recommends to start with Savoy Bistro’s Cheese Fondue (Php 880). This came with Savoy Bistro’s freshly baked sour-dough bread, dill pickles, sun-dried tomatoes, olives and Savoy Bistro’s super yummy Jamona Serrano


Our main course: Savoy Bistro's Pepper Steak Madagascar (Php 890)


And for dessert, we did not let the opportunity pass - by trying out Savoy Bistro's baked cheesecake topped with lingonberries. It's a New York recipe from 1735!!!

Impressions: Maxims Hotel, Resorts World Manila


We were all impressed by Impressions, a French Restaurant in Maxims Hotel, Resorts World Manila.


What a wonderful delight to see the "live" kitchen while waiting for our food to be served.



There were also fresh herbs at the kitchen counters :)




Lovely azaleas were used as the ornamental table centerpiece. And, crayons were readily available in case you want to write sweet notes for your date.




Among all the food that we have tried, this veal shank cooked for 48 hours was the most talked about. It was very tender and cooked to perfection!




How we wish we were able to pair our succulent dishes with this exceptionally premium-priced wine. How expensive? It only costs Php 200k a bottle! hihihi

My cousin, Tiffany, and I both tried FACIAL CARE CENTRE's SOOTHING INDULGENCE TREATMENT PACKAGE:

Repechage
"It's a luxurious facial you won't soon forget. One of our most pampering facials, Repechage is a 4 layer treatment from New York that nourishes, rejuvenates and stabilizes oil glands. It improves skin tone and soothes the skin, leaving it looking and feeling refreshed and invigorated for days."

Diamond Peel
"It's a Facial Care Centre bestseller! Making use of a diamond dust-coated wand, it exfoliates old, dead surface skin to reveal skin as smooth and as soft as a baby's. The Diamond Peel helps to fade blemishes and dark spots, and even out skin pigmentation and discoloration so skin definitely looks brighter and radiant."

GINZADON Restaurant - Maxims Hotel | Resorts World Manila



GINZADON is a Japanese and Korean Restaurant located at Maxims Hotel, Resorts World Manila

"Ginzadon serves the best of both worlds. Stimulate your appetite with Japanese food and fire up your senses with spicy Korean cuisine."

"While GINZADON is under the wing of 6-star hotel, Maxims Hotel, the prices are reasonable. GINZADON wants the guests to experience luxury in a more casual and lively setting, wherein they can truly enjoy the generous servings of the restaurant."


Ginzadon's huge tiger prawns are coated in a delicate batter making it one of kids' favorite. 

FYI: There is a no-smoking policy inside Ginzadon, which makes it a great place for families with kids :)
