When Philippine Tatler talks, people listen, as they did when the ultimate arbiter of high society named Prince Albert Rotisserie one of Manila’s best fine-dining choices. Exquisite Continental cuisine with a French emphasis, tableside gueridon and flambé services, and three private salons place the restaurant in a class of its own. The wine list is perhaps the most extensive in Manila and features wines from every single French region and every single grape variety.
With the friendly hum of a busy coffee shop, Café Jeepney offers breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets daily and an à la carte menu on Sundays. A flood of sunlight is replaced by romantic candles after dark as guests enjoy signature dishes including Pancit Palabok and Mango Crêpe Samurai. Adding a light touch are assorted parts, paintings and photos of the famous jeepney, the public bus whose origins can be traced to the American military jeeps left on the islands after the Second World War.
