I rarely give a perfect score. Tonight’s meal at Old Swiss Inn Paco branch deserved it. The personal touch on the service was exceptional, and all three items we had were stellar!
The price points here are on the high side but justified with the quality of the dishes. Mia and I had a taste of beef, pork, and chicken mains.
What impressed me most was the house specialty in Fresh Corned Beef. More than the tender meat is a well-seasoned brisket complimented with sautéed cabbage and boiled potatoes. For varied taste, go ahead and dip the corned beef in either horseradish or mustard.
I also love the flavors of both the Chicken Forrestiere and the Zurich Geschnetzeltes. The former is grilled chicken with mushrooms and peppered gravy in a bed of buttered linguini while the latter is shredded pork tenderloin in mushroom cream sauce, accompanied by lovely roesti potatoes.
I will be back to visit you soon, Old Swiss Inn. I’ll likely go to your Makati branch instead, given its proximity.
The place is pretty dated, but i guess its part of its charm. The cheese fondue is good, it'll be nice if they added the option of adding different items to dip into it. The zurich is a must try
Really appreciated the food and ambiance. The steak I ordered to be medium rare came a bit more rare than I wanted, so docking some points off for that.
The most appealing thing to me about food is combining and layering flavors, tastes, and textures. And eating with cheese is the best element to that. So, when I knew about Old Swiss Inn serving Raclette and now Scamorza, I told my cheese-lover self that I needed to drop by any soonest date. It was just befitting when the Fat Girls Day Out invited me to join them for the launch of Old Swiss Inn's new menu which apparently is also a partnership with Pinkie's Farm.
I really love Old Swiss Inn. Everytime I think of this, I remember childhood favorites like their Fresh Corned Beef, Gnagi and the fondues.
We went to their Paco branch to sample a single serving of Raclette (P548), Black Seabass (P690), Vegetarian Roesti (P200) and for dessert, their famous Dark Toblerone Chocolate Fondue (P650 and free with zomato gold being 2nd highest priced).
Everything was magnificent and makes me want to visit again, not just for the food but for the impeccable service accorded their patrons.
Same old good food! Makati or Manila branch is always the fantastic. You can never go wrong with this one. Crew is nice and helpful. Though in Manila i think they are renovating.
Manila may be both chaotic and crammed, but never dull. New shopping malls are rising next to the slum areas, the poverty and the luxury coexist in some weird alignment just next to each other. Manila may not be famous for its beauty nowadays, but its magnetic energy gives you this special feel, dissimilar and lively in so many ways, it’s a great city to explore even if you only have one day of time.
Good service. They screwed up the reservation I made but eventually made up for it by getting us a comfy seat and giving us a complimentary dessert. The staff was kind enough to consider my requests.
Food was good, but pricey.
had dinner with hubby and friends and satisfied with the quick and friendly service of Ms. Kath. She knows how to make customers feel good when you enter the place, during and after dining.
💕 Date for Two: Chocolate Fondue
💌 Total: P650
Overall: Since the 1940’s, Old Swiss Inn has been prized for this authentic Swiss and European cuisine. They have developed a loyal clientele over the past 70 years, ranging from politicians, celebrities, expatriates, and other patrons wanting a taste of Swiss cuisine.
Chocolate Fondue (P650) – a visit to Old Swiss Inn wouldn’t be complete without having their chocolate fondue. This heaven on earth specialty features Toblerone Chocolate and pure cream. We had milk chocolate but there were two other options – Dark Chocolate and White Chocolate.
A platter of marshmallows, cake bites, and slices of fruits were also included in this set. Long forks were also provided for ease of dipping.
One dip and one bite showed us the Swiss’ passion for chocolates, every bite was delightful and captivated our hearts over and over. It was a nice ending to an enjoyable lunch.
Value for money: Worth it!
