It was another media invite, this time at the Maya Kitchen. As I waited for their guest chef's lecture and preparation for our meals over lunch, I decided to abandon him for awhile and have breakfast here. Croque serves you French cuisine mostly and their foundation of sauces, Béchamel, was part of our first dish, Croque Madame, a Parisian sandwich using boiled ham and lots of gruyere cheese. This was a spot on meal. It was filling, creamy and tasty. A top of sunny side up made this staple sandwich even better. My friend and I also shared Dilis Arugula. A crunchy and mushy combination of greens, crispy fish and lots of salted egg pieces. This could have been better though if it actually had more fresh bitter arugula. Sadly, I only found a few pieces. We also tried their Cream Cheese Coffee Bun, a nice fluffy pastry with loads of white cheese for a contrasting savory bite over a sweet bun. The Chicken Sausage was okay, you could skip this one. Not many French restaurants around and this spot could be your go to lunch punch when you are around the area. The bakery part serves freshly baked breads everyday too.

The place is situated in Arnaiz/Chino Roces where the old Makati is located. They took advantage of having the old style but still with good ambiance and comfort. The place has a good vibe where you can just relax.We tried 2 dish - Wagyu flank steak and Sea Bass which are both above par... The food was served well and with balanced design. Only con I have was the serving size of both meats in relation to their prices.. But overall, a must visit hidden gem in the city.

Located just below my office building, it is one of the most convenient breakfast places and coffee break to go tos. I love their homey ambiance and setup.However, parking is very limited and their wifi is broken recently when I visited.Their dinner rolls are always a good complimentary bread however, I wish they could make it more than just 1 pc. Per customer since it's complimentary and the amount of time for food to be prepared is quite long and slow.I ordered for Silog Medley since they say it's their bestseller for breakfast and my boss got homemade bacon for dieting. The price does not justify the food serving though the food quality is average. The meat of my tocino and tapa are very lean and juicy. Vegetables are also fresh.
