An intimate, away-from-the-crowd dining place is Le Jardin Manila in W Fifth Building, Bonifacio Global City.
It has a special menu for Valentine’s (P3,250+, VAT-inclusive)—a four-course meal with a choice of starters: duo of walnut crusted Foie Gras and Duck Confit with Mango-Passionfruit coulis and beetroot salad; or duo of Seared Foie Gras and house-made Boudin Noir with Apple Compote.
Next is Ravioli Langouste with Langouste-oursin sauce or Seared Scallops with Langouste-oursin sauce.
The mains are scrumptious beef tenderloin with foie gras and truffle sauce or Pacific grouper with cepes, button mushrooms, and truffle butter.
Capping it is either Millefeuille of chocolate mousse and berries or Red velvet and white chocolate mousse cake.
This Valentine’s Day menu is available Feb. 13-15.
Le Jardin’s kitchen is run by two talented young Pinoy chefs, Jonas Ng and Hasset Go. They were personally trained by the legendary French chef-sommelier Gils Brault.
Le Jardin Manila is at Penthouse, W Fifth Building, 5th Ave. corner 32nd St., Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Call 0917-8176584; e-mail lejardinfrenchrestaurant@gmail.com.
