Between Edsa and Ayala, a secret garden of earthly delights
Edsa is chaos and tension, multitudes packed into a single road, baking in black fumes.
But right on the corner of Edsa and Ayala, hidden away from the careworn populace, is a garden.
And in that garden is the most charming French restaurant.
The food is wonderful, intense, soaked in butter. We had the snails, foie gras, a salad with smoked salmon, braised oxtail, salted caramel chocolate cake and coffee. The liquor ban was on so we couldn’t have wine. Cost of the meal for two: Php3,300. It was worth it (Since we’re not likely to eat there daily).
Lunch was so fabulous, we could not insult the memory of it by eating anything else for the rest of the day.
Maria Luisa’s Garden Room is located at the Makati Garden Club on Recoletos Street, just outside the Urdaneta Village gate off Ayala Avenue. Southbound on Edsa, turn right on Ayala and right at the first corner. You’re there.
