Avenue Plaza Hotel: Café Plazuela
New Menu, New Delicious Offerings

(Awesome Avenue Plaza Series 5)

We received an invitation when Avenue Plaza Hotel’s

Café Plazuela launched its new chef and new menu.

While it was an honor to be invited by the prestigious hotel,

we did not attend it as we expected a large number of city’s

known personalities in the occasion. We didn’t want to feel

out of place, and we are never comfortable interacting with

VIPs so we make it a point to keep away from social events.

We finally had a chance to dine at Café Plazuela,

when we checked in during my daughter’s debut

where we had lunch shortly before checking out.

My young son ordered Pork Ribs and the waiter informed us that the
dish comes in huge servings so my wife decided to share the order
with my son. Indeed, it came in three huge slabs of juicy and tender ribs,
bathed in a delicious sweetish sauce, lying on a generous mound of
Potato Mousseline with fresh veggies on the side. It was very delicious.

My daughter had Salmon Supreme Chassuer, made of grilled
crispy salmon fillet in a bed of Potato Mousseline, served with spring
vegetables and saffron. One should take pleasure and relish this beautifully
plated dish for a while, but that is difficult to do, as the savory aroma
could make you lose control of your intense seafood craving .

Café Plazuela is the home of best steaks in the city, so I ordered
Australian Tenderloin Steak. Served hot off the grill to a juicy,
tender and divinely delicious medium rare perfection . It came with
various fresh vegetables and a generous mound of mashed potatoes.

The hotel patriarch saw us and he came to our table to

greet us and graciously gave us a complimentary dessert .

After dining, we bumped unto my aunt and her husband, both retired US based
physicians, and die hard Café Plazuela fans, who drove all the way from Polangui,
Albay just to dine in their favorite restaurant in Bicol. It has been quite a while when
we last saw them so we took a chance of having our photos taken with them.
