What a Find. Talk about a gem in the rough, after battling traffic through Manila from Cavite to visit a Nursing home in Marikina, I decided to check out this cozy little bistro in a busy street on Marikina, first glance, it's small but very comfortable, as a fitness person, I'm so cautious of what I put in my body , and after a hard workout the last couple of days, my body was craving for some Fuel, from Pasta, or Potatoes,
I ordered the Shrimp Basil, and Salmon w Mashed Potatoes..
the Shrimp Basil Pasta came and it looked good, shrimps were a little small, but Perfecto! for an average healthy Lunch. The Pasta was cooked perfectly, and the Basil flavor was so delicious..
the dish came w a couple of Slices of garlic bread, the overall presentation was really nice.
And tasted absolutely amazing, my second dish was the Salmon w Mashed potatoes,
The dish perfectly arrived as I was finishing my Basil Pasta.
The presentation was Beautiful and it did not disappoint as far as taste was concerned. Not sure what the white sauce was they used. But the flavors definitely complimented the entire dish. Every bite was enjoyable and the Salmon was cooked in a light batter and was laid on top of the Mashed potatoes, topped w baby Baguio Beans. Every bite was a shear pleasure of flavor that was so enjoyable to my Pallet.. I polished that dish off as well and finished off w a cup of coffee.
I would give this place 5 Star and again a
* Gem in a Rough * what a find. Service was also very nice, Courteous and respectful as moat Filipino restaurants I've visited. Great JoB Leon's!
