A perfect place to be alone or to bond with friends, Cafe Creole offer a wide range of Southern Style dishes from Jambalaya to Frappes. Cafe Creole is a tribute to Uncle Murray Hertz which is the original founder of Murray's New Orleans Bourbon Street Steaks and Oyster. We had, Fish Ponchartrain ,Earth Bread, Everglades Jambalaya, Bourbon St. Jambalaya and New Orleans Seafood Gumbo. Café Creole also serves Coffee, Shakes and pastries. We had their Classic Beignet with a Hot Caramel Machiato, Smores Frappe and Brownie Monster Frappe. You could try their Signature Coffee, Creole Americano . Check out my blog for a full review.My personal rating to the restaurant:Food: 4.0Service: -Place: 3.5Happy Eating,website Day Out

I’ve been seeing a lot of pretty food photos on my Instagram feed of this new café at Resorts World Manila. Too mouthwatering to look at, I know I just had to drive my way down to this busy side of the metro, brave Manila traffic and experience dining for myself. I never got to go until last week when I went with some of my website friends. Located at the second floor of Newport Mall, Cafe Creole’s promise is simple: great coffee, soul food at its best, and a quaint place to enjoy each other’s company. Dim lights, make it perfect for dates, food keeps patrons/regulars going back for more, ambiance draw newbies to come and try 'em out. With a wide selection of Southern brunch dishes, signature coffee concoctions, and bread and pastries baked fresh daily; there’s something special to try at Café Creole any time of the day. Personally, I love its cozy interiors. It exudes the allure of the vibrant culture of jazz and honest-to-goodness full southern comfort food experience. The idea of Café Creole came as a tribute to the late Uncle Murray Hertz, the original founder of Murray’s New Orleans Bourbon Street Steaks and Oysters. Went for dinner and sampled a number of their dishes. Stand outs from the cafe's savory menu are the EARTH BREAD WOOD FIRE PIZZA and FISH PORCHARTRAIN! The pizza was made of wild mushrooms, roasted peanuts, mozzarella, parmesan crisps and salad. On the menu it said arugula but we were served with some fresh greens instead. Nevertheless, it was surprisingly good! Simple but flavorsome, not oily too! Another dish Id recommend you try is the fish porchartrain. Imagine deep fried battered white cobbler, shrimp etouffee, parsley walnut rice, and crispy spinach -- yum!!! The rice is something you can eat on its own. The fish was soft on the inside but crispy on the outside! My favorite for the night!Next on the table was the traditional New Orleans Seafood GUMBO. It may not look as appetizing as the other dishes on our table but this was good too. Consistency was perfect, not too thick nor too soupy. I dont mind having to order this even in this very hot part of the country. Ask the AC to be put on full blast, daydream youre in some cool part of the world while enjoying this warm dish! Lol. In contrast with the Gumbo, we were served with the colorful BOURBON STREET JAMBALAYA (which I thought was paella since they look pretty much the same). However, Ive learned that there are two basic differences. Types of rice and seasonings. The Paella uses a Spanish short grain rice with saffron and the Jambalaya uses a long grain rice with more of a creole seasoning. Traditional paella should be cooked on a fire, where jambalaya can be cooked stove top. Cafe Creole's version tasted great, serving size perfect for sharing. Last thing I tried was their EVERGLADES SEAFOOD JAMBALAYA made from creole casserole, onion, celery, bell pepper, calamari, andouille sausage, white shrimps and fish fillet. It was palatable but could be improved. For coffee lovers, the café’s must-try blends are the CREOLE AMERICANO for a full-bodied brew with a hint of chai. Also, those with a sweet tooth will love their BROWNIE MONSTER and the classic S’MORES FRAPPE. Im not a big fan of chocolates so I find these drinks a little too sweet for me. To tone the sweetness down a bit, its best to pair them up with their BEIGNETS (french doughnuts) - Delish!Overall, I loved our dining experience. Managed to witness the café’s daytime charm transform into a brasserie reminiscent of Bourbon Street’s cozier spots for dinner over drinks. I promise the place is pretty whichever part of the day you intend to visit. "Whether it's brunch with friends, people-watching over an afternoon cup of cafe au lait, or dinner over drinks, every moment becomes memorable in Café Creole." Come and visit them now!!

I rarely find myself at Resorts World. In fact, the last time I visited was months ago, when I went to try Johnny Kahuku's Shrimp House, by Celebrity Chef, Pete Ayson! Which makes it rather fitting that my return to Resorts World Manila was to try the newest concept by the awesome Chef Pete, Cafe Creole.
