The Strand Cafe

We were there for Valentine's Day. They really set up the mood with balloons, dim lighting, candles on the tables and a live musician. The waiters were courteous, polite, and quick to get our empty plates and refill our glasses with water. Although the buffet selection is limited, the food is good enough to satisfy a person. They have an appetizer, a salad, a  soup, a pasta, main dishes, and desserts. We just have to note though that their "tomato creamy soup" is lacking in creaminess especially that they claim it to be creamy. Plus, there is a depth of flavor in their beef casserole, but there is quite something off with their beef. We will also appreciate it if they replenish the buffet table in a timely manner. Nevertheless, dining in The Strands Cafe is already a good deal for a couple especially if you'll be trying out all their selections.

In this post: Tomato Cream Soup, Samosa with Curry Sauce, Salad, Beef Casserole, Chicken Fillet with Hoisin Sauce, Vegetable Lasagna, Parmesan Crusted with Mango Salsa, Fudgy Cheesecake Brownie, Strawberry Panna Cotta   The Strand Cafe is the restaurant inside One Pacific Place Serviced Residences, Salcedo Village, Makati City. They serve breakfast buffet everyday from 6AM to 10AM for Php 429, and lunch buffet Monday to Friday 11AM to 2PM for Php 499. Food selection varies from Filipino dishes to International choices which may be availed through buffet or ala carte. Ala carte options include breakfast meals, appetizers, main courses, pasta, pizza, and a wide selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The overall ambiance at The Strand Cafe's Valentine's Dinner Buffet is what made the night special. Not all food were outstanding but pretty decent for buffet. For the main course, you get fish, beef, and chicken, while for your carb fix, you have rice, fried rice, and potato wedges. I cannot say the same take on their breakfast or lunch buffet as that is something I still have to try.

We've been meaning to go here for a while now. Not too impressed with the food and drink offerings. Beef Goulash was just ok, markedly inferior to Balkan's fare. Golden Tofu was ok. Sangria didn't seem to have have the right fruity taste. Not too exciting to write home about.

Our team had a breakfast buffet here courtesy of our very generous Operations Manager. I was very excited that I digged in on my favorite egg omellete which to my dismay does not taste very good. The chicken tocino did not passed my taste test also as well as the fried rice. I kind of like their champorado and the aglio e olio though.

Me and my colleagues had a buffet breakfast here, for a very affordable breakfast of Php299, they offer a wide variety of choices. I love their creamy champorado as well as their pasta. The egg omelet was bland and their tocino is too sweet for my taste. The place is well decorated, it spacious with a comfortable chairs.

Breakfast buffet is hooray! Thanks to my manager for treating the team here, I get to experience The Strands. I think its because its free that’s why I enjoyed it more than I should, aside from the fact that my favorite meal of the day is breakfast. Considering the price, I think the choices are okay. You can ask the cooks to cook you different omelette (according to what you like). Had a great time and food was great so probably coming back for more!

I invited by the sales exec to check out theirs rooms and to have lunch this is my first time to eat here. First their rooms are ok more than what i expected. The lunch is buffet and today they are serving filipino food the choices are limited compare to others but quality wise better. I live their okoy to make it diff they make it small so that di nakaka-umay and di matinik i love it together with cucumber salad that will also serve as the dip. Main dish my favorite is the tortang talong im not a big fan of talong but here i ate a lot the taste is different compare the one at home perhaps how they prepare it. The beef pochero is great the beef is very tender at the sauce is not that sour and salty plus the veggies are perfectly cooked. Chicken inasal or bbq is like something unique i find it bit sweet which i like others are ok. Pansit bihon one of the best so far for me. For dessert nobody can beat halo halo for dessert the laman like beans, monggo, macapuno are natura not canned lechlan is good not that sweet. Over all the foods are ok good but limited choices, service is ok price is ok.
