Father’s Day is just around the corner, and The Manila Hotel is marking the occasion with a monthlong selection of dining experiences and indulgent treats designed for family gatherings and meaningful celebrations.
Leading the festivities is Café Ilang-Ilang, which will offer its popular international buffet on June 21. Lunch is priced at P3,888 nett per person, while dinner is available for P4,988 nett. Diners will also receive a complimentary glass of draft beer or Shirley Temple, paired with either a brownie or a Willy the Bear keychain.
Those looking for a more intimate affair can head to the Champagne Room, where a special Father’s Day set menu will be available for lunch and dinner from June 19 to 21. Priced at P6,888 nett per person, the experience begins with a choice of tartare of fresh Norwegian salmon or Parmesan panna cotta with Parma ham, followed by either beef oxtail consommé or three onion soup. Guests can then choose between pan-fried garlic prawns and spinach ricotta ravioli before a blackberry sorbet palate cleanser. Main course options include roast US beef tenderloin or oven-roasted miso-marinated gindara fillet. Dessert comes in the form of caramel hazelnut praline torte or a selection of French artisan cheeses, accompanied by macarons and coffee or tea. A glass of sparkling wine and a Manila Hotel tumbler complete the experience.
