Since it's nearly Valentine's Day, I'd like to share a romantic dating place where you can consider bringing along your date. Hidden within El Pueblo at Ortigas is a restaurant bar named Wine Bar 1771, one of the restaurant concepts of the prestigious 1771 Group of Restaurants.

I was surprised when I reached the second floor because it was completely different from the fun, bright and airy Cafe 1771 beneath it. Wine Bar 1771 felt like a cozy old European mansion with its beautiful chandeliers, classic leather chairs, hanged paintings, display cabinets, large draping curtains and blotchy bricked walls.

Wines
As the name implies, the Wine Bar 1771 has a dark wine cellar where they store their wine selections.
They also have a few wines stored in wine coolers outside the wine cellar too.
After touring the place on my own, I went to the long granite table allocated for the Eat's a Date event. Once everyone has arrived, we were introduced to the marketing manager Mr. Cyrus Cruz who welcomed us with warm hospitality and dined with us. He shared that the Wine Bar 1771 was established to cater to the old patrons of Chateau 1771 which was once in Ortigas but was transferred to Greenbelt 5. He also told us that during the day, Wine Bar 1771 caters to private functions such as wedding receptions and the like.
Side Story: When I heard Chateau 1771, I thought the name was familiar. When I went home I found out that Chateau 1771 used to have a branch here at Malate. My mom said my sibling and I used to love their Cheese Fondue but I don't remember it anymore.
