The other night, our family decided to eat out to celebrate Ate Ria's two-long week vacation here at home in Manila. :) We decided to head to Cafe Med, where they serve some of the best Mediterranean cuisine in all of Metro Manila (as far as I'm concerned, anyway). Here's a little run-through of our dining experience:
The service at Cafe Med (at least in the Alabang Town Center branch) is exemplary. Our dear waiters, Anthony & Paul were so kind as to help us out with everything we needed--pouring wine, getting ice and taking our follow-up orders. I also love that they introduce themselves before serving you; it makes the dining experience so refreshing and it feels so much more personal than at other places where the waiters and waitresses don't talk to you. :)
Their House Lemon-and-Mint Iced Tea was delicious! Refreshing and citrus-y, this drink had my taste buds partying. Definitely worth the try if you haven't had it yet. :)
The Kofta appetizers were muy delicioso! Mussaka, and olives are the perfect match for meat and tomatoes; they balance out the zing of the meat with a perfect coolness and a texture that soothes the flavor-whelmed palette.
Everyone else had the kebabs--Ate Ria & Wina had beef with couscous (above), Mike had the lamb with pita bread while Jo had the lamb with rice; Mom and Dad had fish kebabs and rice (below)--a healthier option for our dearest seniors. ;) I had the olives & eggplant pasta (yes, I couldn't get enough of this combo) and it was delicious! No meat has never tasted this good. :)
Overall, Cafe Med is a wonderful place to eat. It's a little pricier than your average restaurant but it's definitely worth the money--their main courses range from about 295-370 while their entrees go from 250-350. I apologize for not having the exact price list, perhaps I'll be back with it soon. :) Hope everyone enjoyed this! See you soon!
