Dine, Drink and Read

Imagine a bar, library and patisserie in one place and you’re got Sofitel Philippines Plaza’s newest addition to its culinary offers: Le Bar. The whole area has a French feel to it, but the furnishings are all proudly Philippine made. We were first treated to hot and cold appetizers, sandwiches and entrees. The hands-down favorite was the Mushroom Crepes, in all its creamy glory.

After all, what’s a French bistro without crepes? Plus, they also have soups, salads, and quiches. The meat eaters need not fret- the Lamb Cutlets and Mergueze sausage is extremely satisfying. They have Angus steaks too! We downed everything with fresh fruits shakes and non- alcoholic smoothies. For dessert, we chose from display of dainty cakes, pralines and chocolates at Galettes, Le Bar’s patisseries. Freshly brewed gourmet coffee capped our meal. A grand bookcase holds novels, newspaper and magazines that guest can browse through. The sculptures on display are also a sight to behold.
