Manila's Signature Dishes 2010 : Bordeaux Premium French Wine Bar and Restaurant

Share

Bordeaux serves only French wines, from 15 major regions. It has a relaxing atmosphere with many murals depicting the french countryside.

Chef Edge Narvaez introduced us to their Manila's Signature Dishes set based around the Boeuf Bourguignon, a very popular dish akin to our adobo. Chef Edge has tweaked the dish after having a taste of it in a café near the Eiffel Tower. It is now served with pasta instead of mashed potatoes.

Gambas ala Rochelle. Nice big shrimps sauteed in a spicy sauce, I just ate a few since the spiciness was getting to my taste buds. I feel this would be perfect with rice, I'll probably do that next time.

Boeuf Bourguignon. I've heard about this dish from the movie "Juli and Julia" but have never had a taste before. I love the vegetables like the long stick of carrot, was cooked just right, not soggy or too crunchy. The beef was really tender and you could feel it melting in your mouth. Mixed into the pasta, the beef imparted its sauce giving the noodles lots of flavor.

Pannacotta. The best looking desert.with the spun sugar on top of the light creamy pannacotta. You can really tell its not your usual pannacotta since its freshly made and while we were taking pictures the cream on the pannacotta was melting a bit.

Bordeaux might look intimidating because of the whole French country theme and we always associate expensive with anything French but that's not the case here. They served excellent food at reasonable prices.
Also, you should have a look at the ceiling decor on the 2nd floor, its made up of empty wine bottles, its really a sight to behold.
