Nice restaurant In Shangri-La @ The Fort in Manila. Serves buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. Selection of food and drinks is very wide and extensive. Service is awesome. Food taste is good. Many live cooking stations and desserts are awesome. Plenty of seating with nice deco.

I came here mainly for the seafood bucket and it was worth it. Try the sweet and sour sauce to cook your seafood with. The garlic butter and the salt/pepper sauce were quite bland for me. This was my first time eating crawfish(aka big shrimp) and I must say I like shrimp better. The shrimp absorbs more flavour than the crawfish so it was not bland at all. I had to put salt on the crawfish even if it was already sautéed in their sauce. The crabs were ok. I don’t think it was that fresh because the crab fat kinda tasted weird. Anyways, don’t forget to ask for gloves!Aside from the seafood bucket, I love their wide variety of desserts. They have local desserts consisting of biko, cassava and halo halo. They also have home made ice cream! The “burnt rice” ice cream was my favorite. Buko lychee ice cream was just so so. I did not really taste the buko part since the lychee flavouring was overpowering. I love their macarons especially the dulce macaron. As for the meat section, there was lechon, wagyu and peking duck. The wagyu was tender and had that melt-in-your-mouth feature when you eat the fat part. I had mine done in medium rare. The dimsum was kinda disappointing. I was really expecting siomai, dumpling, chicken feet and the like. They only had 3 kinds of dimsum. I like their beef noodle soup though. I enjoyed it even more since it was raining outside and it was a bit cold in our area.One downside is that you can only have water. Coffee, lemon juice and alcoholic drinks are not part of the package. The staff were attentive and cheery. They would refill our water with a smile. I got their loyalty card because I know I would like to come back here again.

My best friend and I love eating so we tried Highstreet Cafe since it’s near my office and of course who doesn’t want buffet? Haha! What I love most here is their seafood area, desserts 😍 and of course their laksa! Also, the interior and vibe is nice since it’s inside Shangri-La hotel. Planning on visiting soon again. 🤗

My boyfriend and I celebrated our monthsary at Hogh Street Cafe a few months ago and have tried other buffet restaurants since then, but RJ really left an impression with us on that day and the service of other buffet restaurants cannot compare to his service. He constantly checked on us if we were enjoying the food and when he found out that it was our first time, he toured us around and informed us about the various iconic dishes for each of their live stations. All of the food that he showed us were superb! Thus, we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner! Will definitely come back!

Didn't try the buffet but man all the dishes were amazing! The cheese platter, the laksa and the sushi were my favorites!

Dined on November 1st, 7pm.My boyfriend and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary and we wanted to splurge a bit to celebrate. We compared different hotel buffets and decided on High Street Cafe in Shangrila Fort because of the good reviews and how they boasted of their bucket seafood experience on their social media. We were excited only to be really let down.The seafood was NOT fresh. I'm sure it was frozen for a while and left out to thaw before dinner service started. We have dined at Ministry of Crab which is located in the same hotel. We have eaten in Dampa and have tried the freshest seafood in Roxas City so I know my seafood. The supposed stars of the seafood selection were the large prawns and crabs but they were the most disappointing out of the whole lot. At first we thought we got a bad batch so we went back and tried a few more pieces in different sauces such as Kung Pao, Garlic Butter and Szechuan. All of which where a bit slimy and the prawn meat was mushy and already deteriorating. Not the experience we wanted to have at 2300 pesos per head.The only items we liked were the duck and beef cheeks. Servers were nice too but it wasn't enough to make up for the lackluster food selection.I don't think we'll be back any time soon. Save your money and dine elsewhere. If i could get my money back, I would. Their Instagram says world class experience.. it is most definitely NOT.*** Sent an email to their manager 4 days ago prior to posting this review but no response.
