Dinner at Breakfast at Antonio's: A Meal to Remember

Finally!!! I get to eat at Breakfast at Antonio's! I've read about it over and over again and I guess it's about time I get to experience it myself, and that's thanks to our business partner, Mam Beth Lacson, for making this possible!

Welcome to Breakfast at Antonio's

I'm all about first impressions so here's what I thought about the place.

Breakfast at Antonio's reminds me so much of a "Bahay Bakasyunan". It has high ceiling, very open space so it feels so relaxing, dark wood floors, netted windows and hanging and potted greens everywhere.

Reception/Waiting Area

Potted and Netted

But though it felt old school, the furniture are so not. Just look at this chair. Who would have thought wires that keep trespassers away can make a chair look cool?!

Style and Comfort

But what blew my mind was the uniform of the staff. Look how old school our lady server's clothes are. So cool.

Coolest Outfit

As for our orders, it took us newbies quite a long time to decide what we really, really, really want because there were so many uncommon choices to choose from. I mean, it's not every day you see these in your menu: Roesti, Bleu D’ Auvergne, Gruyere, Sauerkraut or Horseradish. We have to be careful what we order or we might end up just wasting it.

But, finally, we decided on the Bacon & Swiss Cheese Roesti Over Easy Eggs (P320); Bacon, Mushroom & Cheese Fritata (P400); Portabello Tagliatelle with Truffle Cream Sauce (P495) and Beef Stroganoff with Gherkin Mushroom Sauce just to name a few.

Bacon & Swiss Cheese Roesti Over Easy Eggs (P320)

For those who are not familiar with Roesti (like me), it's pancake made from Swiss potatoes done the extra crispy way. Topped with as crispy bacon, every bite was a mouthful, and a very unhealthy one at that. Clogged arteries here we come.

Beef Stroganoff with Gherkin Mushroom Sauce

The Beef Stroganoff Pasta was very filling and creamy. The person who ordered this was not able to finish it but had it wrapped to go.

Bacon, Mushroom & Cheese Fritata (P400)

The Bacon, Mushroom and Cheese Fritata I ordered for myself and I did not regret it in every single bite (I just had to drink tons of tea after). The bacon wrapped inside the 3-egg omelette was super crispy, and the mushrooms taste super good.

Portabello Tagliatelle with Truffle Cream Sauce (P495)

But aside from these amazing and sosyal-sounding dishes, you can also buy fresh veggies from their store.

Veggie Stall

They also sell bread and pastries which I am so tempted to buy because I've heard are good. They also come in cute paper bag.

Fresh Bread also available

As after a great meal, I felt very fulfilled because 1) the food was great and definitely worth the price though I'd only go back for special occasions 2) the place is refreshing, something different from your typical restaurant and 3) the staff were very courteous and polite even when we complained about the tiny cockroaches that kept wandering to our table (we were told they came from the plants so at least they're clean?)

Thanks for reading and Happy Eating!
