Old Manila at The Peninsula Manila Reopens with a New Chef and a New Menu

The Peninsula Manila will always be a place close to my heart because this is where we held our church wedding reception last year after holding out for two years due to the pandemic. During this period, some of its restaurants had to keep closing and reopening because of the various restrictions being imposed. But one restaurant in particular was always on our mind because it remained closed from 2020 to 2022. Thankfully, Old Manila has finally reopened this 2023, showing off a brand new chef with a brand new menu to highlight its rebirth.

Old Manila is located on the ground floor of The Peninsula Manila’s Ayala Tower. This is a more private area within the hotel just past the very popular and busy lobby lounge where most of the Christmas activities are being held. The Hungry Kat was invited last week to rediscover the charm of Old Manila and to taste the wonderful flavors of their new menu.

Accented in art deco-inspired geometric patterns in gray, cream and black, and complemented by large-scale photographs by Filipino-Spanish photographer Francisco Guerrero, the contemporary interiors of Old Manila are the perfect backdrop for its unmatched bistronomy and grill menu and the extensive wine selection inside The Peninsula Manila’s 47-year-old signature restaurant.

Old Manila has served as an exquisite meeting place for the refined dining crowd of Metro Manila. Aside from the main dining hall, they also have semi private areas for small groups and families.

Our lovely dinner that evening was hosted by Mariano Garchitorena, The Peninsula Manila’s Director of Public Relations. We were also having dinner together with the Koppes who are always fun and entertaining companions.

The new chef at the helm of Old Manila is the talented French Chef de Cuisine Gaël Kubler who brings a new culinary flair to this iconic restaurant. He explained how he is learning more about the Filipino palate during his three months in the country and he is continuing to develop new dishes and ideas for Old Manila.

For tonight, Chef Gaël will be bringing out some of the most popular items on Old Manila’s new menu. We started with a choice of breads accompanied by rum raisin butter. This pair alone gave us a tasty preview of what else is to come.

We were also given an amuse bouche consisting of Tartare and Eggplant Caviar. The tartare was a delightful mix of flavors while the eggplant caviar was a surprise with its creamy texture.

Here are a few of the special appetizers on the menu. The Fresh Irish Gallagher Oysters (P1,690) look like they were just plucked from the ocean. These high-quality imported oysters are served with red wine and shallot mignonette.

The colorful Ahi Tuna Carpaccio (P1,490) comes with raw tuna prepared with calamansi gel, pickled mango, ginger oil and coconut dressing. This is a good starter that can be shared with the group.

What really blew me and everyone away was the Jerusalem Artichoke Veloute (P1,290). This is honestly one of the best soups I have ever tasted. The creamy and very fragrant broth is made with guanciale, hazelnut, and truffle. You can taste the truffle flavors balanced with the creamy ingredients which make it such a heavenly bowl.

For the main courses, you can choose something light like the Green Asparagus Risotto (P1,790). This is made with amaretto, roasted pistachio, pancetta, and Parmesan.

Another optoin is the Tasmanian Salmon (P2,690) with cauliflower puree, herb oil, and iodized sauce. This is what Chiara ordered, something simple yet elegant that even kids will enjoy.

There's also the Atlantic Turbot (P2,890) with its delightful combination of prawns, oyster mushroom, bok choi, potato, and ginger beurre blanc,

I ordered the Tournedos Rossini (P3,190) simply because I love anything with steak and foie gras. This has a thick cut of black opal wagyu topped with a luscious duck foie gras on a brioche bun and served with truffle mash on the side. The combination was just perfect with the tender wagyu giving way to the delicate but generous slice of foie gras.

Look at how big these Jumbo Tiger Prawns (P2,890) are! These are three huge pieces of juicy tiger prawns cooked fresh off the grill. You can have a full dinner with just these prawns.

But the highlight of our dinner at Old Manila is definitely the Jack's Creek Wagyu Tomahawk MB5 Steak (P11,990). This is a 1.2 kilogram wagyu steak cooked with its bone gloriously hanging by the side.

The steak was cooked perfectly medium, giving it a juicy and tender texture. The flavors of the beef were highlighted with every bite. All items from the grill come with your choice of sauce including bearnaise, red wine, green peppercorn, and ginger beurre blanc.

It also comes with two side dishes like the Grilled Green Asparagus with dill dijonnaise and fried leeks. You can also choose the Coconut Fried Rice with green curry, calamansi, and red chili.

The Dessert selection at Old Manila (P690 each) is also not to be missed. The Banana and Toffee comes with tuile, crémeux, and rum raisin ice cream.

There’s also the Pear and Hazelnut with spiced moscato, sponge, and salted caramel ice cream. All the dessert items look quite elegant with their presentation.

The Lime, Basil, and Strawberry come with sorbet, berries gel, and lemon crumble. Everyone’s favorite dessert turned out to be the Chocolate and Raspberry with fondant, ganache, and coulis. It was shaped and presented like a tree with soil and branches which makes it quite a popular item for photos.

We would like to thank Mr. Garch and Ms. Grace of The Peninsula Manila for hosting our fantastic dinner at Old Manila. We’re so happy that this dining institution in Makati is finally open once again to give the well-discerned foodies of Manila another venue to explore these culinary offerings. See you at The Pen soon!

She will be singing the hits of Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys, Roberta Flack, and her original compositions. She will be accompanied by her musical director Adonis Tabanda and the band Day One. Tickets are prices at P3,500 and inclusive of a two-hour long open bar.

The Turkish Embassy and The Peninsula Manila are mounting a Turkish Food Festival in Escolta Buffet Restaurant from May 23 to 27, 2023. Shaped by more than a thousand years of diverse cultures and traditions, social heritage and stories, Türkiye presents its exquisite and diverse flavors to the world through the “Turkish Cuisine Week” food festival. On the occasion of the centennial anniversary of the Republic of Türkiye, “Turkish Cuisine Week” will be celebrated throughout the world for the second consecutive year from May 21 to 27 and aims to introduce Türkiye’s rich gastronomic culture to a broad global audience through the embassies and consulates of the Republic of Türkiye.

This year’s special menu consists of local dishes from the city of Antakya (with the ancient name of Antioch) in Hatay province, which is included in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network and renowned for its diverse cuisine. Boasting more than 650 dishes, Hatay’s gastronomy is a Mediterranean cuisine characterized by its use of fresh vegetables, quality olive oil, legumes, and cereals. As Hatay’s cuisine is the showpiece of this year’s Turkish Cuisine Week, Escolta’s different buffet stations will feature mouth-watering Biberli Ekmek (flatbread with red pepper paste), Zeytin Salatası (green olive salad), Hummus (mixed chickpeas and tahini dip), Mucver (Turkish zucchini fritters), Muska Boregi (spinach and cheese filo parcels), Tepsi Kebabı (oven-baked kebab), and Kayısı Tatlısı (stuffed dried apricot with clotted cream and walnut), among many others. The buffet selection will also showcase other regional Turkish dishes that will be prepared using local ingredients and traditional cooking techniques. It will showcase all aspects of Turkish cuisine, including Turkish coffee, Turkish tea, and the most quintessential of all Turkish sweets – Turkish Delight.

Escolta’s Turkish Cuisine Week will not only feature authentic and unique recipes but also highlight the philosophy of sustainability of one of the oldest and richest cuisines in the world, which emphasizes natural healthy local products and a waste-free palate. Those eager to experience a taste of Türkiye can dine in Escolta Buffet Restaurant from May 23 to 27. Lunch rate is at P2,600 per person while dinner is at P3,000 per person. The Peninsula Manila Turkish Food Festival would not be possible without the generous support of the “Turkish Cuisine Week” partners – Turkish Airlines and The Peninsula Istanbul – who are donating a round-trip ticket to Istanbul and a two-night stay at The Peninsula Istanbul for guest diners to win. For inquiries or further information, please call The Peninsula Manila at [phone] (trunk line), extension 6691 and 6694 (Restaurant Reservations), e-mail Dining [email protected], or visit the website peninsula.com/manila.
