First Post - First Foodie Meet Up at Cafe Ysabel

Cafe Ysabel's Main Entrance

I'm lucky to have been invited by Zomato Philippines to have lunch with my fellow foodies at Cafe Ysabel. The cafe has been in San juan for over 35 years now and has definitely made a mark on the Philippines' restaurant scene. The interior and ambiance feel nostalgic.


Menu
 We were served with Jake and Christine’s Crisp Smoked Fish Wantons in Salsa Verde, Bobby Chinn’s Pizza, Juan’s Sole Roulade, Capampangan Caldereta, CafĂ© Ysabel Burger, Peter Pan Pie and Junjun Chocolate Souffle.

Jake and Christine’s Crisp Smoked Fish Wantons in Salsa Verde
Jake and Christine’s Crisp Smoked Fish Wantons in Salsa Verde - Perfect food to start our meal with. The smoked fish was good and complemented well with the bread and salsa.


Bobby Chinn’s Pizza
Bobby Chinn’s Pizza - It was named after the internationally renowned chef when he made his visit here in our country and in the restaurant. The pizza topped with prosciutto and aragula (which makes the pizza special) was also good.


Silk Road Salad
Silk Road Salad - I loved how the spiced dressing blend with the other ingredients. It was sweet, sour and spicy all at the same time.



Juan’s Sole Roulade
Juan’s Sole Roulade - In my opinion, this dish was the highlight of our lunch. The texture and how the food was presented to us were a delight both in the eyes and taste buds.

Capampangan Caldereta
Capampangan Caldereta - There may be nothing more to comment about this dish, as it was prepared and served exactly how a caldereta should be, but nothing more. Still, better to be safe than sorry!

Café Ysabel Burger
Café Ysabel Burger - Overpriced burger (900php), in my opinion. The patty was a bit bland and dry. Also, they served only a little amount of foie gras.


Overall, It is a great place for families, friends and couples to dine at and enjoy.
