I can't pinpoint what it is exactly but the vibe is quite different.  I feel its brighter and more casual.

The  La Parisienne is good but the Wagyu Skewers is a way better upgrade.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
It's great that Old Swiss Inn Makati is open 24 hours to make quality Swiss dishes available.  If we need to vouch for this time-tested establishment to convince you to dine here to enjoy the fun in eating Swiss then you have our vote.

When it comes to a Tagaytay destination, all my friends: foodies and non-foodies mention Breakfast at Antonio's being on top of their list. 


There must be something that Breakfast Antonio's does that makes it consistency packed.  Parking can be challenging during meal hours.


Before you reach your seats, you'll pass by this tempting pastries first.  My mom is a big fan of Breadsticks.  In fact, we buy so many every time we visit.  And, she also asks friends and family going to Tagaytay to buy her some.








There's a separate counter for these merchandise. 


I love their pantry.  It's so neat, cute and organized.


Being casual, clean, bright and spacious, it becomes a convenient dining destination for all purposes (family outing, dating and casual meal) and occasions (birthdays, anniversary etc.). 


I prefer the area over the veranda because it's cooler and you could go for sight seeing while waiting for your orders.


There are also magazines available.

Breakfast Favorites

♥ Eggs Florentine (445 php)

The difference between their Eggs Florentine and Egg Benedict is that the former has an addition of spinach (20 php addition to the price).   Because I love greens, I opted for the former.  This is one of the best eggs benedict I've tried.  The smoked ham is delicious and the pouched egg is cooked precisely.  Although I'm generally not a fan of English muffin, it's a great staple component to this dish.  The cinnamon pineapple and banana is good for cinnamon lovers like me.


Roesti

♥ Homemade Corned Beef (425 php)

Even for breakfast, Eggs Florentine is not enough to fill my belly so I also had the Homemade Corned Beef with sauerkraut and swiss cheese.  This is my favorite! 

All-Day Sandwiches

♥ Mini Burgers (490 php)

An order of the Mini Burgers has three kinds: Beef with smoked caramelized onions, Lamb with raita and Pork with peanut sauce and kimchi.  We ordered this for sharing.  I loved the Pork the most because it's not the usual burger with it's nutty and spicy twist.  The Lamb is a bit dry so Beef comes second. 


Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
No doubt Breakfast at Antonio's success has no where to go but up.  Because eery dining experience here has been consistently pleasant, I hope to try it's big brother Antonio's some day.  But for now, Breakfast at Antonio's is more within my budget's reach.

I just love new discoveries.  My first exploration at Zuellig Building led me to the food court where I discovered Zigla!  Well, I just found out that Zuellig Building has a lot more to offer with Terraz Meetings & Bistro located at the 3rd floor. 

When you're in Makati and all you could see are cars and tall buildings, you'd understand the refreshing feeling I had upon reaching Terraz.  I just love it's bright and spacious motif with clear glass windows and yellow green and yellow soft and well-cushioned seats.  Diners were enjoying themselves as if the busy and fast-paced office life has been put on hold.

I couldn't help but appreciate the huge space that Terraz has to offer.  Aside from the generous distance of each table from one another, affording their diners comfort and privacy, they also made sure the diners have a beautiful view of their open kitchen, cake chiller and the garden outside. 

It was a usual lunch on a weekday workday and the place was packed.

It also has a bar area which is understandably unoccupied during the day.

What sets Terraz apart from other restaurants is its meeting rooms.  Doesn't it resemble a grand board room?

Food

Complimentary Flat Bread with Pimiento Cheese and Aoili Dip

Upon being seated, we were given a Complimentary Flat Bread with Pimiento Cheese and Aoili Dip.  I just love flat breads like the roti prata so I quickly got my hands and mouth busy with these.

Salads

Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna (275 php)

The Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna is one of the few salads that has left a distinguishing impression upon me.  The highligh of the salad are the perfectly prepared pan-seared ahi-tuna crusted with sesame seeds.  It really brought the other fresh ingredients to life.  Other components are fresh and crunchy romaine lettuce, sliced Japanese cucumber, red beets and vine cherry tomato.  It also had a flavorful sesame dressing. 

The Terraz Chef Salad (295 php)

The Terraz Chef Salad with romaine lettuce, red wine, hard-boiled egg, crispy parma ham, grilled bacon, roast beef in light salt, cheddar and emmental cheese cube in pepper vinaigrette and ranch dressing was also good.  But, I personally prefer the Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna over it.

Pizza and Pasta

Truffle Herbed Chicken& Creamy Mushroom

I am a big sucker for an dish with truffle on them.   The Truffle Herbed Chicken& Creamy Mushroom with its moist and tender marinated grilled chicken breast with 3 kinds of mushroom and red wine sauce pasta dish is no exception.

Simple Saffron Spaghtetti

It's actually my first time to try something like the Simple Saffron Spaghtetti.  It's their home made (made from scratch) saffron spaghetti with spinach and grilled asparagus.  Usually, when I eat pasta, my taste buds tend to be drawn towards the sauce.  But, in this case, the sauce is so light that it actually let's you appreciate the distinct flavor of a very precious spice: saffron.

Western Flavors 

Buttered Tilapia Saltimbocca (350 php)

I'm very particular with fishiness so I often steer away from the tilapia.  But, the Buttered Tilapia Saltimbocca is surprisingly clean-tasting that I'm surprised it is actually tilapia.  It is served with vegetable pilaf asparagus sage tomato sauce and grainy cream mustard sauce.

Grilled Bacon Wrapped Pork Medallion and Foie Gras (695 php)

Upon seeing generous chunks of foie gras, the Grilled Bacon Wrapped Pork Medallion and Foie Gras has already won over me.  I'm very biased towards dishes with foie gras.  I'm so in love with it.  The dish is delicious!  It is also served with macaire potato, sauteed vegetables, mushroom ragout and merlot sauce.

Merlot Braised Veal Cheeks (550 php)

Another dish that I found simply irresistible is the Merlot Braised Veal Cheeks served with crushed garlic potato in olive oil and marinated vegetables: beets, beans, potato, carrots and mushroom ragout.

Pan-Seared Boneless Chicken Cream Emince (350 php)

The Pan-Seared Boneless Chicken Cream Emince is a dish that will surely please mushroom lovers like me.  It has a rich mushroom flavor with a wholesome creamy texture that complements the moist chicken fillets well.  It is served with baked potato, bacon, peppered asparagus and french beans.

Asian Inspirations

Spicy Terraz Corned Beef Adobo (495 php)

An interesting clash of two Filipino classic favorites: corned beef and adobo is the Spicy Terraz Corned Beef Adobo.   Seriously, this is one of the best corned beef and adobo dish I've ever tried!  Even the sides were surprisingly awesome!  I loved the garlic pumpkin, sweet mashed potato and kesong puti which are fried and buttered like chicken nuggets. 

Dessert

Crepe Zamurai (150 php)

We all wore puzzled faces when the Crepe Zamurai was served. We could only identify the caramel sauce and cinnamon sugar on top of the crepe.  What lies under is still a mystery.

Crepe Zamurai (150 php)

As soon as everyone got to try the Crepe Zamurai, we all had smiles plastered on our faces as we kept spooning for more of its addictive mango and banana bits in a pool of caramel sauce and Cinnamon sugar. 

Pavlovaz (150 php)

The Pavlovaz which is a meringue filled with light cream, cherry and berries was good too.

Drinks

Ginger & Mint Lemonade (130 php) and Strawberry & Mango (120 php)

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
I've so glad I've discovered Terraz Meetings & Bistro, Makati's hidden gem!  It offers a one of a kind experience at reasonable price.  I definitely want to try more of their menu selections.
