I simply love eating, I mean who doesn’t? I am also adventurous when it comes to food and would love to try different dishes as well as different cuisines. That is why I am excited when I was invited, along with mum blogger friends, Jem {of esupermommy.com} and Levy {of mommylevy.com}, to visit the newly-opened Al Qaysar Restaurant and Cafe in Ermita, Manila and sample their Mediterranean cuisine, as well as their other delicious offerings. I have not tried Mediterranean food before but I read somewhere that they are rich in olive oil, select seafood, as well as wheat and other grains, hence making them very healthy and ideal for anyone to try.
Dining at Al Qaysar in this busy street of Ermita, Manila is like traveling to another continent and the restaurant’s facade gives a very fair introduction of what to expect inside. The owners, the warm and gracious Ms. Let and her Sudanese husband, have a keen eye for details and they made sure to include a lot of Mediterranean elements into their beautiful restaurant.
Before trying out the many mouth-watering food in their menu, Ms. Let toured as around and among the many things that piqued this mum’s interest include the beautiful painting that adorned one of their walls, depicting a Mediterranean landscape complete with the desert and camels, the clean and organized kitchen, the charming washrooms, and most especially the tables to the right, which are designed for a more intimate dining experience for bigger groups of people. These are perfect for birthday celebrations or for business meetings. There are 3 different table set-ups and the dining patrons can choose from the more formal regular chairs, Japanese-styled lower chairs, and the uber comfy bean bags! We had the chance to sample each of these and the bean bags won me over, hands down! 😀
