This means you won’t have to stress over making tough choices. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the culinary experience.
The meal starts with a tantalizing trio of appetizers. First, a delightful foie gras mousse on a small mango waffle. Then, a pintxo featuring fried quail egg, chorizo, and caramelized onions on toast. And finally, a creamy croquette with jamon.
Next, indulge in an organic lettuce salad tossed in a sweet-sour vinaigrette. It’s accompanied by Tagaytay cherry tomatoes, goat cheese from Beata Farms, and candied cashews. The main course features a succulent char-grilled octopus and a Spanish tiger prawn grilled to perfection. Homemade garlic aioli and lemon slices complete the dish.
Don’t miss the churrasco, the highlight of the meal. You can choose from paella Valencia topped with grilled chicken, char-grilled mahimahi with confit potatoes, grilled beef skirt with chimichurri, or the mouthwatering Maine lobster. The lobster is blanched, stuffed with garlic and parsley, and then grilled to perfection. It’s served with lobster rice, a red-hued seafood sopa enriched with sofrito and shrimp bisque.
For dessert, delight in a scoop of cream cheese ice cream adorned with whipped cream, mint leaves, lime meringue, and fresh strawberries. The forest berry coulis adds a tart touch to balance the sweetness.
The dinner menu consists of four delectable bites to start. Highlights include a juicy Gallagher oyster adorned with compressed pears, a brioche topped with beef tartare, egg emulsion, and ikura, a soft taco shell filled with shredded bulalo beef shank, corn puree, and jalapeño, and a black squid arancini crowned with Parmesan mousse.
The second course is a visual treat. The server tosses together Tasmanian ocean trout and apples tableside, creating a flavorful dish. It’s accompanied by tapioca crackers to enhance the light and delicate taste of the fish.
The following course features charred grilled octopus and perfectly cooked pan-seared dorado. The octopus is served on paprika Parmentier with black ink bread crumbs, while the dorado is paired with pea puree, mint, and grilled romaine lettuce topped with tomato and hazelnut salsa.
The standout dish is the seared secreto Iberico. Thin, tender slices of the Iberian pork are layered over flavorful mushroom rice finished with Parmesan cheese, butter, and truffle oil. Asparagus spears complete the dish.
The Angus beef tenderloin is a treat, especially when paired with the roasted confit potato draped with burnt eggplant puree. The flavor combination is exceptional.
To end your meal, savor the strawberry dessert. It’s the perfect conclusion to a delicious dining experience. Guests also have the option to pair their meals with selected wines, adding another layer of enjoyment to the evening.
