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.

Restaurant it’s very well decorated and clean. The staff there is very accommodating, polite and always smiling. The food it’s good and well presented. The bakery section it’s inviting. Even when the restaurant it’s located in a very busy avenue inside it’s like a sanctuary, no noise inside. We liked very much.

Brought my gf here expecting a good breakfast on one rainy morning. I find the staff attentive but we’re the first customers so its kinda expected. The ambiance was cozy and relaxing. I already hear christmas songs playing on the background. Foodwise, im giving it a 2 thumbs up! They provided complimentary bread w/ garlic butter spread and a dip, a combination of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Taste nice to spice up the morning. We ordered coffee buns which were good for my taste. Roast pumpkin soup, a bit too creamy for me but i liked the presentation. Pasta Al fungi, good tasting pasta but i dont feel like eating it on mornings. Eggs benedict, oh i loved how they done the eggs, just perfect, probably my best pick on that morning. And hot chocolate, which they said was a best seller - but sadly i doubt. Overall, the experience was warm, peaceful and made me feel good. the food is also something i can go back for. I’ll bring family next time. Cheers

I never thought the interior looks very cozy and cute. I love the atmosphere and the staff service. Food — We ordered Flank Steak, Hand-cut Potato Fries and Shrimp Pasta. The steak tasted okay, but its chewy... sorry, I don’t believe it’s worth the price... while the shrimp pasta tasted really good and the presentation is awesome. I reckon the best food we ordered is the hand-cut chips, its a good appetizer partnered with their Cucumber Mint drink... ugh brings back my childhood memories!Service — Food took 10-15 minutes to arrive. Saw the waiter continues on following up on the kitchen. While waiting we were given complimentary bread with butter spread and balsamic oil. We were also asked about the food quality which is a ++ for me, it's good that they’re getting feedback; Learning from their customers.We’ll be coming back to try their breakfast menu. I heard that Eggs Ben is one of the best sellers. I’d also recommend this place for coffee dates, seems that this place doesn’t get overly crowded like the mainstream coffee shops—Just for relaxing chit chats, you know what I mean.

First time to try out this quaint cafe with homey interiors located along Arnaiz Avenue. Surprised to find out the food prices were reasonable. Ambiance - warm and inviting, perfect for dates or when you want to enjoy a meal with some peace and quiet. I always pass by this place and have not seen this cafe full of customers or overly crowded. Food - they recommended their pumpkin soup as bestseller but sorry to say it was a disappointment. :( the coconut cream flavor was too strong for me and i didn’t taste the sunflower seeds. Both the classic lasagna and Croque madame were good (though the bechamel sauce for the croque could be toned down). We enjoyed the beef brisket the most - tenderly cooked and came with a delicious mushroom gravy. Service was excellent and we did not encounter any issued using our Gold privilege here. :)

The croque Norwegian is said to have smoked salmon, béchamel, cream cheese and fried egg. I got mine with cooked salmon and no egg, it was quite a lousy croque. I felt lied to and cheated.
