Chelsea Grand Cafe, located in The Shops at Serendra, in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) is one of our favorite casual dining spots, with a variety of gourmet dishes served in an open and airy room, decorated with a bright and inviting style:
As we sat down and ordered drinks, my partner chose the Passionfruit Margarita (295p), a mix of Cuervo Silver Tequila, Passionfruit purée, and Cointreau, served in a very large glass that had her dizzy before the meal was done. ![:)]()
I went with the Electric Lemonade (295p), a mix of Limoncello, Absolut Vanilla, Southern Comfort, and enough fresh lemons to add just the right amount of sour:
Drinks were served with complimentary fresh-baked bread and roasted garlic:
For our appetizer, we selected the Prawn Gambas (520p), served in a rich Chorizo-Parsley Butter with Roasted Garlic Confit.
The prawns were tender and exquisite in the melted butter:
We also tried a plate of wedge-cut Kilfer fries (150p):
For her main, my partner selected Crispy Pork Belly Confit (595p) Pork Cracklins', Apple Bacon Chutney, Wild Rice Pilaf, and Garlic Greens.
The pork was cut into thin strips and so tender and flavorful:
For my main, I went with the Char-Grilled Norwegian Salmon (595p), served with Salsa Verde, Toasted Pine Nuts, and Glazed Country Vegetables, served on a bed of Olive Oil Mashed Potatoes.
The salmon was grilled to perfection, moist and tender, with the salsa providing a nice kick for extra flavor:
Chelsea is known for their fresh-made desserts, so we couldn't leave without trying one of their house specialties, Oven Baked Warm Brownie "S'Mores" (295p) served warm with Graham Crackers, Walnuts, Mantecado Ice Cream, and smothered with Caramel Syrup. The brownies and marshmallows both had a warm gooey texture, making this dish extra fun to eat:
My partner was smiling as we shared the last bites. ![:)]()
