Every time we pass by the Fort Bonifacio area, we couldn't help but notice the crowd Las Flores is drawing. That made us want to try it for quite some time so one evening, we just spontaneously gave it a go.
It's at One Mckinley Place same as Smoper Chicken and Toro Restaurant. It has a very bright and inviting facade. It is very attuned to its name "Las Flores" which means "the flowers". Upon reaching their door, we were quickly assisted and ushered to our table.
The interiors were very homey and cozy.
I love everything about the place: the plate, glass and wine displays, frames on the wall, mix match of cushioned furniture, lighted candles on every table and more.
As I've researched, this is owned by the pioneers of Barcino. Since we've had a pleasant experience with Barcino ever since, we had even higher hopes for this one.
Food
The Complimentary Bread Basket was served as soon as we ordered. Everything on it was warm and moist so we couldn't resist nibbling on them.
Soup/Sopa
We had our Sopa Del Dia split into two. It was a bit watery cream of asparagus. It was an okay starter just to have something warm for the tummy.
Cold Dishes
Ceviche has always been my kind of thing. But, it's my first time to try a Ceviche de Vieiras con Jamon Iberico which is a scallop ceviche with ham. This is by far the best one I've tried yet!
Okay, so I guess I'm into raw dishes in general cause I enjoy having carpaccio too. The usual carpaccio is for meat or fish so I was intrigue by the Carpaccio de Calabacin con Calabaza Asada y Salsa de Pimientos del Piquillo which is zucchini carpaccio stuffed with pumpkin cream and roasted red bell pepper sauce. It delivers a nice one of kind experience I'd recommend anybody to have. It's a bit pricey though. Maybe you're paying for the beautiful plating.
The Buñuelos de Bacalao con Salsa Romesco y Piñones are codfish fritters with romesco sauce and pine nuts. This is good but nothing extraordinary.
Fellow mushroom lovers should not deprive themselves of the Setas Bio en Tempura de Cerveza y Mayonesa de Soja and order it at once. On a more objective note, I enjoyed this simply because it is mushroom cooked in beer batter. Not much ingenuity was applied here.
Carnes y Pescados
The Pollo Asado A La Catalana which is roasted chicken with prunes, shrimp and apricots received a lot of praise that night. I personally enjoyed the fruity apricots sweet notes that matched the tender chicken well.
Rice/Arroces
This is one of the best Paella de Marisco or seafood paella I've ever had. Even Barcino's rendition is pale in comparison. The price is a steal too!
The Paella Negra con Sepia is also delicious but we preferred the Paella de Marisco over it.
I don't usually post the bill but this box is too cute not to be shared.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Las Flores is a good modern Spanish Catalan restaurant to try. We enjoyed our dining experience. For the food quality, ambiance and service, it's definitely worth the price paid for.

As long years of Spanish colonization, I guess its no surprise that we have a special place for Spanish influence in our hearts. From time to time, my family craves for Spanish cuisine and this time that brought us to Barcino Wine Resto Bar at Rizal Drive Fort Bonifacio Global City.
Barcino Wine Resto Bar has already established its name and has six branches all in the country.
Yet, it's our first time to try it out. It has a chiller for cheese and deli items. There is also a gourmet corner for wines, dips and more.
They also have a bar area on the first floor.
But, the dining area is located on the second floor.
This wine display functions as a divider as well.
I love the wood furnished fixtures and the Catalan inspired interior.
Food
Upon being seated, we were served some Complimentary Bread with tomato dip, olive oil and salt. the bread was warm and the zesty tomato dip is very welcome to our growling stomachs.
Tapas
Croquetas are our Spanish favorite. How could I ever resist the Croquetas Setas which are creamy croquetas mushrooms when its got two of my favorites: croquetas + mushroom!
Tradiciones
The Callos A La Madrilena is a tripe stew with chickpeas, chorizo, tripe and beef served with bread. This was bursting with zesty tomato and meaty tripe and beef flavors! I love how tender the tripe and beef are.
The Sopa de Ajo is my mom's favorite Spanish soup. It is a garlic bread soup with jamon serrano, egg white and paprika. This one has a strong roasted garlic taste which we all enjoyed.
Arroces Y Pescano
I'll be honest! Every time we dine for Spanish cuisine, we're really eager for the paella. The Paella De Marisco is a scrumptious seafood paella. Check out the generous portions of mussels and clams, the size of the prawns and the toothsome and soft squid rings.
The Paella Negra is a simply squid ink paella with squid rings and mayonnaise. Although not extravagant in terms of ingredients, in terms of looks and taste, it was impressive.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Barcino Wine Resto Bar offers quality Spanish cuisine for a reasonable price. With its many branches, its cool that you can now enjoy their dishes as often as you wish. I heard they have excellent wine and beer too.
