Buddha-Bar Up Close and Personal

Buddha-Bar Manila is located at Picar Place along Kalayaan Avenue, Makati City. The three-level complex has a chic, tent-covered, terrace deck framing a shallow pool. This is the perfect place for a late-night or early-morning chill-out, with the nearby bar serving a wide range of cocktails. Buddha-Bar had really raised the bar dining and entertainment in the Philippines with its concept.

Buddha-Bar features the iconic Buddha, a boutique and a bar and restaurant, that will enchant stylish and hip Filipinos with an atmosphere that caters to all the senses. Buddha-Bar Manila can accommodate 525 seats guests. It is said to be the biggest Buddha-Bar in the world.

The first “Buddha-Bar” in the world was opened in 1996 in Paris, France with the concept and idea of belonging to Raymond Visan, now operating George V Entertainment. Buddha-Bar Paris is famous for its mystical, exotic music and delicious menu.

Buddha-Bar has a unique restaurant concept of food and music operating in largest cities of the world: Paris, Beirut, Dubai, Cairo, Kiev, Monte-Carlo, Manila, Mexico, Prague, Washington DC and now, Manila.

Luckily, I got invited to try Buddha-Bar's Asian fusion menu. One will enjoy the gastronomic delights with beautiful mesmerizing lounge music on the background.

The Asian fusion menu is quite delicious, and, better still, not too expensive. The managers are all from Paris, where the original Buddha-Bar is located.

BAR DOLCI: Life is Sweet

BAR DOLCI: Life is Sweet.

One rainy afternoon we drove all the way from our house in far away Q. C. to Bar Dolci in Burgos Circle at The Fort, Taguig. I'm giddy with excitement because I read somewhere that Bar Dolci serves the best Gelato and French Macarons in the Philippines.

I was so mesmerized by the taste of their espresso! I love the creaminess and the vanilla yogurt on top of my coffee. You ought to try this! Drool!

The salted caramel macarons are sooooo delicious! Hangsaraaap! It is chewy, crispy meringue flavored with sweet caramel with a bursts of salt. This pretty macarons is simply the best in the market today! The next time around that you are in Burgos Circle, don't miss the salted caramel macarons. They're to die for!

These are the peanut butter flavored macarons, they are light and delicious according to my friend. Yes, I'll be honest I wasn't able to taste these. It is a good thing I was able to take pictures of these macarons.

I love their quiche! Especially the Spinach and Bacon Provolone, Tomato Basil with Mozzarella Cheese and Quiche Lorraine. Quiche Lorraine is my favorite! It consists of bacon, onion and gruyer cheese. But I don't like the quiche with blue cheese, Roquefort Broccoli. Sorry, it is so strong for my taste bud. I think it is an acquired taste for moneyed people. This is my friend's favorite. She said she and her family always buy molded cheese from Santi's. Hindi ako sosyal kaya di ko siya carry. Ha ha ha!

Quiche is a French word. Quiche /ˈkiːʃ/ KEESH is a savory, open-faced pastry crust dish with a filling of savory custard with cheese, meat or vegetables. There are many variants of quiche,'coz there's also a wide variety of ingredients available that can be incorporated to this pastry. Quiche Variants are named descriptively in French, like the following: quiche au fromage (quiche with cheese) and quiche aux champignons (quiche with mushrooms) or conventionally florentine (spinach); provençale (tomatoes) and so on.

This ice cream burger reminds me of what we used to eat as a child, pandesal ice cream sandwich. This time around though at Bar Dolci, they call this Gelato Burger.

I was able to taste the burger with Ferrero Gelato filling and it did not disappoint. I love it! Yum yum! My only complaint is that the bread is mabuhaghag, but I bet the management will improve this, after all they always listen to suggestions and customer feedback. I super love this!

This is Bar Dulci's Turkey & Brie with cranberry chutney sandwich. The ingredients went well together. Yummy! A must try!

Honeyed Porkloine with gauda cheese and apple. This sandwich tastes just right.

Strawberry Ricotta Bruschetta is so yummy. I want more! Ha ha ha!

Freshly made Mango Yogurt Sorbet (Gelato). It's ice cream, really, really good ice cream. Creamy and not too sweet not salty. Next time I'll try the Pistachio flavored Gelato. I heard they're so good and yummy! Awww! Tulo laway na ako! Ha ha ha!

Bar Dolci has more than eighteen different flavors of Gelato available at one time. Ranging from the basic strawberry to the more complex flavors like Salted Caramel Gelato, Pistachio, Ferrero, Thai Tea, White Chocolate Wasabi, Walnut and Dark Chocolate.

When you visit and buy a cup, tell the server to write your name on the board. Every time you visit and buy a cup, ask them to mark your name and when you reach ten (10) you'll get a cup for free. Bar Dolci is such a happy place to be!

These Gelatos are available for take out! Bar Dolci are generous with their servings, they fill the cup right to the brim so it's certainly worth the money. And they come up with two (2) new flavors every month.

Date Night at Bar Dolci every Monday night from 6pm to 10pm! Enjoy our BUY ONE TAKE ONE Gelato with some candlelight and great atmosphere!

Bar Dolci has Ladies night every Wednesday from 7pm to 10pm! Ladies get a FREE Bar Dolci Salted Caramel Macaron with every purchase of a cup/popsicle of Gelato!

The facade looks cool. And I love their signage. Thanks to Mae Ilagan for giving your slot to us! I've never meet you in person yet, but you're really nice to me and I thank God for your good heart. Hugz!

Thank you very much for the wonderful welcome, Mr. Full of Talents Nicholai David Go! I love your photos! Well done! You deserve a pat on the back, your parents must be very proud of you!
