From Chef Robby Goco of Cyma, Chester Villas of Akulturado Vancouver, and Jon Balangay of Le Monet Hotel comes 1950 Restaurant.
 |
| 2nd Floor Dining Area |
1950 Restaurant takes its setting in a 2-storey American Contemporary house of the Santaromana Family which offers a spacious dining area and sufficient parking.
It delivers a warn and vintage vibe brought about by the merger of newly furnished interiors with the old furniture and fixtures.
Food
The food fare in is 1950 Restaurant Modern fusion inspired from the travels and familial recipes of Santaromana family. You'll surely find the menu selections quite intriguing.

| ♥ Kale Soba (400 php) |
While the Kale Soba makes used of the Japanese Green Tea Soba (or buckwheat noodles), it is depicted like an Italian Pasta. Thus, the Soba is engulfed in cashew cream Alfredo sauce and topped with wild mushrooms. The flavor was sophisticated yet wonderfully pleasing!
 |
| Caesar Salad (400 php) |
We found that there's not much distinction with 1950's Caesar Salad from the usual fare. The grilling process was not evident in terms of taste and texture.
Land
 |
| Buttermilk Fried Chicken Bites (300 php) |
The Buttermilk Fried Chicken Bites is a levelled up version of the popcorn chicken. It comes with spiced honey and brown butter gravy to boot.
Sea
 |
| ♥ Grilled Octopus (325 php) |
The Grilled Octopus is a work of art. Somehow the subtleness of all components highlighted the tender Grilled Octopus.
 |
| Lobster Bisque (600 php) |
The Lobster Bisque delivered a foretaste and aftertaste of cream rather than lobster or crab which made us wonder if we didn't mix it enough.
Filipino Classic
 |
| Baked Hipon and Laing (375 php) |
The Baked Hipon and Laing had a a rich and creamy coconut milk with a light spiciness. Some of my companions were yearning for the sharp spicy kick. Well, we reckon the interpretation here is more on harmonious blend rather than dominant spiciness.
 |
| ♥ Adobo Classics (350 php) |
The
Adobo Classics offers four (4) kinds of adobo:
Adobo Classics sa Gata,
Chicken Adobong Tagalog,
Pork Belly Adobo sa Dilaw and Adobo sa Flakes.
Sweets
 |
| Bavarian Cake (280 php) |
The desserts at
1950 were all very pleasing to the eyes. But, it failed to followthrough for the other aspects. When it comes to pastry, it is a given that the texture was too bring comfort. Well, the
Bavarian Cake like the other desserts we tried were all too dry.
 |
| Molten Lava Cake (280 php) |
The Molten Lava Cake looks really impressive. However, it wasn't oozing with molten lava as we cut into it. It was too dry for our liking.
 |
| Baked Alaska (280 php) |
This is the loveliest Baked Alaska we've ever encountered. Those who love sweets will definitely appreciate the fluffy meringue that shelters the strawberry ice cream and chocolate crumble. The sourness of the strawberry and blueberries offered a great contrast to the sweetness. While the strawberry ice cream complemented the chocolate crumble well.
 |
| White Chocolate Blondie (280 php) |
The
White Chocolate Blondie was our least favorite among the desserts. It was a huge chunk that was dry and tough to chew.
 |
| Toasted Ensaymada (80 php) |
This is the first time we encountered an ensaymada that did not captivate us to finish in one seating... The Toasted Ensaymada is better when dipped in the hot chocolate and topped with candied bacon bits. However, even then it isn't anything spectacular.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Oh
1950 Restaurant, the concept seems fun and timeless. Yet, it wasn't so evident in the execution of the dishes. Perhaps, we need another visit to know you better...
