The intimate and relaxing ambience, cozy - European look, excellent fine dine menus-
It was indeed an indelible dining experience with my food lover friends at Restaurant 101.
With the state-of-the-art facility and more developments underway, adding to BPO companies, different brands and concessionaires, condominium and residential area, the modern and pleasing look inspired by cities in Italy and Spain, McKinley Hill is truly a perfect live-work-play-learn-and-shop community. It is one of many attractions in Taguig City and home of romantic and local version of Italy's famous Venice Grand Canal.
Aside from sightseeing, eating is one of the best things to do and there is Restaurant 101 ready to serve.
101 is the application restaurant of Enderun Colleges offering wine tasting dinners and lunch specials. It was my first visit then and one of my personal favorites is the Caesar Salad, a mixed of romaine, soft boiled egg, parmesan, bacon and croutons. Just like my friends and myself, I know you will also love the Peanut Butter and Passion Fruit Tart. It is made of cocoa biscuit, layered chocolate, peanut butter and passion fruit ganache.
The French quail, Conchiglie, and the curry taste of the lamb shank with roasted vegetables must also be added to your bucketlist. They also served us the cream of mushroom with baked shiitake bun and crispy pancetta, Vegetable tarte and Pan seared Foie gras. From tables, wine glass, and plates, up to how the food were presented were excellently executed. The student staff were all so welcoming and nice.
Overall it was a great experience and I would love to bring and recommend 101 to my relatives and friends.

Been working at Mckinley Hills for so long and I haven't heard about a restaurant at the heart of Enderun. Putting up a restaurant in the school, having known for producing culinary experts, it may not be a surprise anymore as this may be one of the many platforms in training to become an expert so expect high standards when it comes to how they showcase the food and service when you come to dine at this place.
They specialize in international cuisines with a local twist to balance with our pinoy palate. Most of the food had rich stories and background and how they artistically designed and created them. The resto's ambience is a classy fine dining cozy atmosphere perfect for people who like to have an intimate date with their partners or family members.
As for the food, we were able to try unique dishes:
Some of the appetizers such as lovely and fresh greens of their 101 ceasar salad, vegetable tarte which is my fave - light and a perfect starter, pan seared foie gras and avo toast also were nice and appetizing.
The mains were also unique and created with such culinary artistry. Duck & Waffles - this is an upscale version of chicken and waffles. The waffle texture is crunchy and soft on the inside. Love the duck's tender and flavorful meat lavished with rich gravy - yummy. The Cream of Mushroom is also a star. Best served and eaten warm. The soft bun swimming in the middle of the soup made it different from the other soups you'd try. Another interesting dish French Quail since we don't usually eat it here except for the eggs they produce. I was afraid it will taste like dove meat from which I have tried before that is quite unpleasant because of the aftertaste but surprisingly it was good and tastes like chicken. The meat is tender like chicken thighs and seasoned pretty well. The Conchiglie or seashells pasta is also good and al dente. It was packed with seafood flavors that you'd surely enjoy. Lamb shank is also recommended should you want some more meaty and hearty lunch and dinner. It was perfectly crusted and seasoned as well.
Desserts were my favorite of course. We have the Delice - A 68% dark chocolate moist cake with so much deliciousness! My sweettooth was triggered with so much joy. A unique one is the Cup of Joe - coffee pot de créme, and walnut tarte - definitely the best ending because of the walnut tarte! Soft chewy base topped with mildly sweet walnut - A-mazing!
To make you interest more, they have breakfast buffet every friday morning for only 300php. Not bad for a buffet. Overall, I am amazed by the passion the chefs put into the plate so it turned out pretty nice. Kudos and also to the staff who are friendly and attentive.

Restaurant 101 is the application restaurant of Enderun Colleges, a home to Southeast Asia's leading culinary institute - Ducasse Education Philippines. It offers classic European cuisines and French dishes with a local twist.
The ambiance is fancy and cozy, quite intimidating too. It's good for having a romantic date, private meetings and corporate events as well. Service is excellent. The staff was very attentive and welcoming. They also have an open kitchen so you can see what's cooking and how they prepare the dishes.
A huge discovery of mine is that Restaurant 101 is offering a breakfast buffet every Friday morning for only P300.00. That's a steal!!
We got to try several dishes (not the breakfast buffet) and I recommend these:
Duck & Waffles - their playful take on the classic Chicken and Waffles. I recommend you get slices of each elements and eat all of it in one bite.
Cream of Mushroom - baked shiitake bun (it's a homemade dough) with diced mushrooms. The soup itself was viscous and creamy. Unlike other mushroom soup that's cheesy, for this one, you'll really taste the mushroom. I like it.
French Quail - bones were taken out so it'll be easy to eat it. The meat is similar to chicken but I can't explain how simply delicious it was.
Delice - true to its name, it was simply delicious. It's 68% dark chocolate. Moist, slightly bitter and sweet. In fact, this is my favorite dessert.
Cup of Joe - coffee pot de créme, and walnut tart. Most of us like the walnut tart.
Please try the Avocado Toast and the Herb-crusted Lamb as well !!
Price range is on the higher end. Probably an improvement could be a signage somehow so people (especially those new in Mckinley Hill area and Venice Grand Canal Mall) would know that there exist a restaurant inside Enderun College.
