The Ambiance is very romantic,
The service was excellent, waiters are very attentive.
The food was great, we tried 210 degrees chicken, foie gras with popcorn sauce is highly recommended! I had one order for my main course, if you are a small eater then this will be perfect!
A true hidden gem, this place.
1) Value For Money
- php 1,490 for a 5course dinner. This is not a tasting menu. This is Five. Full. Courses. I was pleasantly surprised and extremely full.
2) Food
- Bistro French Fare. I got to try everything on their 5course except the pasta and steak. My friend and I ordered alternately so we could taste it all.
Here’s my opinion on how to navigate the 5 courses:
—- Salmon vs Hummus, go for Salmon
— Cauliflower Soup vs Eggplant, this was even for us. I really enjoyed my soup it was so tasty and not starchy but my friend liked Eggplant better. So depends which one you prefer.. the soup will make you full.
— Bone Marrow vs Mushroom Ravioli, I would appreciate the Mushroom Ravioli if I didn’t get Cauliflower soup as they felt similar with the foam and all. But texture wise I felt the Ravioli could use a bit more firmness. Bone Marrow was delicious and deadly, so get this instead and live on the wild side.
— Chicken vs Pork Belly, we were all so full at this point but I think the belly wins over chicken. But both pretty safe choices. The side of mushrooms I got was delicious I could just eat that all day.
—- Tiramisu vs Creme Brulee, Tiramisu all the way!
3) Service was perfect.
4) Pro Tip: if there’s 2 of you, you can def share the set menu. And then order other dishes. But ask nicely. I can’t guarantee this but they let one couple in our group do this last night. they didn’t portion it separately which is fine. You gotta do some work.
5) Room for Improvement
— so many mosquitos. So many. Like buzzing around your head and food and eating you alive as you eat. Wear bug spray.
— personally I wasn’t a big fan of the decor, felt it was a lil too dark in there. But this is just me.
Despite #5 and a stumble with my Ravioli, I still would give them 5stars. I had a terrific time here and my tummy was happy.
I came here to meet a friend for lunch. It's hard to find a decent French restaurant in Manila. So when I heard about 210 Degrees in my neighbourhood, I jumped at the chance for lunch. I love the feel of the bistro and the service was excellent. We were greeted and often checked up on, which lacks in many restaurants in Manila.
I enjoyed the set lunch menu and the fact that you could choose if you wanted it with dessert or not. It almost felt like fine dining, or maybe thats just because its French?
All in all, a great dining experience, and I will return in the evening for some drinks and dinner!
