Hello dearies!
Paris is known for their aesthetically beautiful structures, rich culture, posh fashion styles, exquisite cuisines and picturesque view. I always dreamed of travelling to Paris when I was a kid and have my photo taken at the Eiffel Tower. Today I will be sharing with you my foodie experience in a restaurant that will make you experience the Parisian life without the airfare.
French Chef Gils Brault, the mind behind the successful Trois Gourmands in Vietnam created Le Jardin Manila. With the help of Chef Hasset Go and Chef Jonas Ng, Filipinos can now experience authentic French Cuisine. All the dishes they served were made from scratch. From the spices to desserts, all are imported from France.
Me having a photo-op.
As you walk inside the restaurant, you can instantly feel the Parisian vibe. The decorations are upscale designed. The interiors remind me of a local Parisian cafe that I’ve seen in movies.
Degustation Menu served at the event.
We started the meal with a serving of fresh-baked brioche with butter on the side. Their brioche is tender inside and crunchy on top.
Saumon Fume Maison (House Smoked Salmon).
Thin slices of smoked salmon topped with greens, peanuts and lentils. The salmon tastes fresh and the lemon adds some zesty flavor into it.
Two of the palate cleansers served. First, is made from tomatoes, salmon bits and basil. The second one is my favorite which is the lemon sorbet with orange zest. It has this citrusy burst of flavour in my mouth.
Filet mignon de porc (Tenderloin of pork)
Cheese Platter.
They made their own cheese platter from scratch. They used 7 different types of cheese that has a variety of flavors perfect to munch after a hearty meal. Goes well with wine.
Classic Chocolate Cake.
This heavenly dessert is superb. The rich moist cake melts in your mouth.
Price range is on the upscale side. The 3-course meal is priced at 2200, 4-course meal is 2800 and the 5-course meal is 3200.
You can visit them at the Penthouse level of the W Building, Fifth Avenue corner 32nd Street Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Visit their website or call +63 917 8176584 for reservations.
Update: Le Jardin Manila in W Building sadly closed its doors but they are relocated at Bonifacio Stopover Corporate Center, 2nd Ave, Taguig, Metro Manila. Named as Le Jardin Cafe, they are now serving more affordable hearty French breakfast.
