They include top multinational corporations, local and international celebrities, and members of the expatriate and diplomatic community. They proudly confirm the restaurant’s philosophy that Filipino cuisine is at par with the world’s best.

Bistro Filipino by Chef Laudico serves Filipino fusion food and there are sort of food that could take off in the international scene. You can saw a lot of expats and sossy people eating because dining that would costs you around P1, 500ish easily. The Filipino fusion food by Chef Laudico and the desserts by his wife, Jackie! These are the kind of food that won't make you feel bad spending that much. The interiors are designed by their mom with contributions from the family which made the whole establishment a true family affair.

The interiors are lovely: Draping curtains with chandelier all around... Wooden tables... long couch attached to the walls... diamond checkered flooring. The mirrors are antique looking and if you were to make a reservation, the best tables are those adjacent to the big mirrors on the wall.

Bistro Filipino by Chef Laudico is restaurant who offers delicate Filipino cuisine. I’m really proud to say that the people behind the successful of the restaurant are Filipino. There a lot of things that you could enjoy while dining with this kind o f restaurant. The ambiance is very warming and reminiscing. In terms of their service they are much of giving the quality that the customer deserves. I personally recommend these restaurant if you want to taste Filipino delicacies.

Here are some of their best seller food that would make you feel like heaven.

For Appetizer:

Ubod Spring Roll

Crispy Lumpia cone filled with Chorizo, Prawns, and Heart of Palm topped with Spicy Sinamak Sorbet.

For main dish:

Milked Fish Souffle

Smoked Milk Fish and Keso de Bola Souffle in Whole Tomato served with Salad Greens in Paksiw Vinaigrette topped with Fried Bangus Belly.

The Bangus belly is not overpowering and has the right salty taste. This would have been perfect if the Bangus Belly was boneless.

Pacific Gindara

Grilled local Gindara fillet in Banana leaf served on grilled vegetables and crab roe sauce with Lemon Zest.

The crab roe sauce is heavenly and sinful at the same time so this dish was wiped out in a second. The fish serving is very generous and it is good for two.

Foie Gras with Adobo Overload

Seared Foie Gras on Steamed Pork Adobo Sticky Rice in Banana Leaf topped with Chicken Adobo crisps and Adobong Kangkong.

One should have a share of the everything in a spoon, its Adobo Pork Machang with a slice of the melt-in-your-mouth Foie Gras with the crispy adobo chicken flakes and adobong Kangkong to really appreciate..

For dessert:

Mango Dayap Sans Rival

Layers of Dayap Meringue and Creme Caramel on chilled mango soup splashed with Orange Liquer.

Everybody loves Mango and it was a genius combining this with Merengue. You won't feel guilty about the calories of this dessert but you will feel guilty about ruining its beautiful presentation.

Molten Chocolate

Belgian Molten Chocolate Cake with Carabao Vanilla Ice Cream Center.

This is another fabulous presentation. It looks like the apple melts directly into the plate and the same is true for the chocolate cake.
