French Baker, the original patisserie and boulangerie established in 1989, celebrates its 25th year with a memorable night of French dining experience.
Go Negosyo, the campaign that aims to fight poverty through entrepreneurship, marked its ninth anniversary recently at the Manila Polo Club.

He won rice-eating Filipinos over with his European breads. Entrepreneur Johnlu Koa’s French Baker is turning 25—currently with 52 outlets, two upscale boulangerie-bistros called Lartizan, and two other brands that serve different markets.
If you still haven’t been there, dahlings, dash over to the awesome Lartizan Boulangerie Française that has Cosmo Manille heating up! And I ain’t just talking about the weather, palangga. It’s giving us food lovers loads of options for our fill of fabulous cuisine.
Johnlu Koa has gone high-end after launching a longtime dream project he hopes would tap the A-list market.
