Las Casas Manila by Margarita Fores: Bataan's Heritage Town Has Come to Quezon City

The Philippines has a long history and culture to showcase.  Did you know that there are many ways to discover its stories?  Las Casas tells the tale of Filipino history and culture through its heritage homes.

I was fortunate to have visited the first Las Casas in Bataan.  It was were my cousin held her premuptials.  I was truly amazed!

I've been wanting to share the experience with my family for so long.  But, my mom doesn't want to leave home for so long because of our six dogs.  

Then, a miracle happened as Las Casas decided to open here in Manila, specifically Quezon City!

While it did not occupy a vast land, it surely did not have less flair in terms of interior to the Las Casas in Bataan.

My favorite part is the spiral staircase overlooking the dining area and the outdoor pool.

 

It leads to more rooms on the second floor.

The best room is the one in the first floor.  If you've been to Bataan, you'll see a resemblance.

From this, you can see how high the ceiling is.

Table set up is way better than in Bataan.  I guess that's what the touch of Chef Margarita Fores can do.

Wherever you dine, you are free to roam around the place.

There are lots to see...

especially if you appreciate antiques.

Food

The highlight, of course, is the dining experience with Chef Margarita Fores at its helm.

Mains

Enchanting place well-matched with enchanting dishes.  Price is within the usual range of a  Margarita Fores restaurant.

♥ Rabo de Toro (680 php)

Menu is limited but there's more than enough to feel fulfilled.

♥ Beef Tenderloin Salpicao Mushrooms (650 php)

Everything was excellent.

♥ Chuletas de Cordero, Salsa Verde (890 php)

My top pick would be the Chuletas de Cordero, Salsa Verde.

♥ Chuletas de Cordero, Salsa Verde (890 php)

Flavor was so clean yet rich.  The meat so tender and juicy.

♥ Paella Valenciana

I am a huge fan of paella.  I could say that I have a specific preference in terms of flavor, stickiness, crisp and so on.  This Paella Valenciana has passed my standards.

♥ Tres Leches (180 php)

Isn't this Tres Leches, the most beautiful dessert you've ever seen?

♥ Tres Leches (180 php)

This Tres Leches gives you a sweet and refreshing finish just like spring after a hot summer.

Others

Since Las Casas also caters to events, here are sample of its cocktail treats.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Las Casas Manila by Margarita Fores is definitely a must try.  You already have two reasons to go: (1) ambiance (2) food.  More comes with the unique experience.  It is similar but different to Las Casas de Azucar in Bataan.  Another factor is the convenience that it is at the heart of Manila.
