Chateau 1771 Greenbelt 5, Legaspi Village Legaspi Street Makati, Metro Manila Philippines Tel: +632 729 9760 www.chateaugroup.com

Having moved from its former location at Ortigas Centre in Pasig City to its current swankier premises, Chateau 1771 is accordingly more polished. Its tall ceilings, coupled with lush drapes and impeccable cutlery, exude an elegance that is matched by an equally stylish menu. There are familiar favourites like the raclette and French onion soup, new creations like salmon Rockefeller, and classics like salad Lyonnaise and pork scallopine. Few leave without sampling a slice of executive chef Vicky-Rose Pacheco’s famous coffee pie. A dessert that both comforts and wows, some say the magic is in the crust, while others swear it is in the crunchy toffee bits. Either way, it’s a sweet ending to a fabulous meal.
