Inside the bustling metropolis of Makati City shrouded in towering skyscrapers where shopping, business, partying and dining envelopes the area, it’s good to know that there is a place where you can put your mind and body to relax and savor the appetizing selection of provisions only at THE SPECTRUM, located inside The Fairmont and Raffles Hotel.
Freshly-baked breads served daily!
Spectrum's awesome Pizza station! Choose from their offerings, they'll prepare one for you in a solo serving plate! Hefty and yummy!
Executive Sous Chef Gregory Georges preparing a fresh brick-oven pizza!
Tandoor Station -- cooking the right and fresh way!
Although I'm not much a sushi fan, I dared myself to try just one because it looks scrumptious! From the preparation to the final product, I told to myself that I should it and to my joy, it was real yummy and wonderful!
Roasted Turkey and Pork Loin! On some days, they serve prime ribs, lamb chops etc.
While I was entering the halls of the restaurant, I noticed on one corner a bizarre-looking rectangular box and saw that there are tiny movements inside. Considering the low-lighting of the room, I walk nearer to it and I realized that there are bees inside -- and they are alive! I was startled because I might knock off the box and the bees might fly everywhere. But they assured us that it is super safe. A honeycomb with the bees and the queen might scare the wits out of me but the wide variety of honey selection from that honey table sure made Winnie the Pooh jealous.
Mango Station -- YES! Mango everywhere! Spectrum believes that the Philippines holds one of the most abundant mango producers in the world and thus, the wide selection of mangoes! Everything from this photo are my favorites!
Chef Didier Derouet amazed us with his special banana toffee crepe with toasted marshmallows! Our favorite moment? The blowtorch moment!
Ice cream, sorbets and halo-halo using their flavored ice!
From the dining experience to the most welcoming and courteous staff I've encountered, let me simply put it it this straight to everyone --- it was worth it! Imagine the feeling I got when my tummy was fully satisfied together with the warm and welcoming ambiance of the restaurant and the people everywhere inside. I'm proud and happy to dine at Spectrum, and I am definitely going to dine out more in the future with them!Price starts at Php1,300+ for breakfast, Php1,500+ for lunch and Php1,800+ for dinner.Spectrum Cafe and Restaurant
