On a rainy Monday night, I was looking for a place to enjoy comfort
yet quality food. I am at a puzzle as to where to eat because we’ve tried
almost everything at Gaisano Mall’s The Peak, except for Hollywood Burgers and
Ombu, but I wasn’t up for Filipino food or burgers that time (I know, my taste
buds can be quite picky). All the others were yogurt and dessert shops, so these
were not part of the option.
Hence, we settled in for Café France. To be honest, I did
not hold such high expectations of the place but had quite an enjoyable dinner.
The beautiful thing about Café France is the wide range of options on their
menu. They had a little bit of everything thrown into the mix so you will have
your fill no matter what your craving for at the moment.
I opted to go for one of their tray couture wherein I chose to order Pierre. This tray set cost me PhP 285, which already includes their
Seafood Deluxe Clubhouse & Seafood Marinara. The serving also included a
small serving of salad and a piece of chocolate for dessert. By the way, at
this price, you already have one drink too, wherein I opted for their orange
juice. The juice is very delicious because it is not of the canned variety –
very refreshing.
The clubhouse sandwich is humungous, if I may put it. This consisted
of two layers of seafood fillings that included crabsticks, tuna spread, and omelet.
This in itself is a meal and so of course I had to share it with the boyf
because I can’t consume it all. One element of the tray set that I was able to
consume to myself is the seafood marinara. Not trying to exaggerate but this is
one of the best seafood marinara I had in a long while.
For E’s order, he went with the Roasted Chicken with Potato
Salad on the side. This rice meal is priced at PhP 195, which again is slightly
on the expensive side. But the roasted chicken tasted heavenly. The meat is
soft to the point that it falls off the bones and the seasoning is just right –
not too overpowering, not bland either. The outside is also slightly burnt,
which is fine because it provides a slightly crisp exterior.
