Retaining the features of the house, it reflected a homey ambiance, the interiors are spacious, with two floors of dining areas plus an alfresco dining.

They serve fusion and continental cuisine. Here are some of the delicious dishes we ordered.
Appetizers:
Beef Salpicao (P280)- beef tenderloin cubes sautéed with olive oil and garlic. The beef is very tender and juicy but has little serving.
Veggie Humus (P150)- eggplant humus served with pita bread.
Pumpkin Soup (P90)- topped with bacon.
Gambas y Chorizo (P280)- fresh shrimp and chorizo sauteed in olive oil with lots of garlic. This is one is a bit pricey.

One of the keys to survive the stress and fatigue of TV production is for you to have an awesome group like MasterChef team. I'm really proud of my team for making an amazing show. Kudos to us! :)
