Gastronomy at Its Finest
Visitors will also want for nothing, thanks to the Manila Hotel’s many gastronomic delights, artfully prepared by Executive Chef Konrad Walter and his F&B team. Dining at the Manila Hotel adds to the total guest experience by providing the best. Only the freshest, high-quality ingredients go into each dish that tickle the palate. This comes as an assurance to health-conscious patrons, as the dishes crafted in the Manila Hotel are meant to not just delight one’s taste buds. Chef Walter shares, “We always think of how healthy the food is, because we always think of what’s best for our guests.” Combined with guests’ experience of each plate is attention to how it nourishes. In fact, Chef Walter’s team continuously looks for inventive ways to bring healthier food such as gluten-free options, which is slated to be available soon.
Café Ilang Ilang is the quintessential buffet for any time of the day. Lovers of world cuisines will surely be in for a treat as they can sample Chinese, Filipino, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and even Mediterranean dishes, among others. A trip to this signature restaurant lets guests travel the world, one plate at a time. The true stars—and crowd favorites—of the spread are the cochinillo and roast beef. The suckling pig is slow roasted to perfection, its flavor herby with just the right balance of being decadent, it tastes almost like a near-guiltless treat. The pork’s skin is invitingly thin and makes for a satisfying crunchiness. The lechon’s sarsa has a smooth texture that compliments the tender pork. For meat lovers, the roast beef is also done to perfection, so easy to bite for a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
