Take your taste buds to Spain with this new 5-course menu in Ortigas
If you're craving a taste of Spain without leaving Metro Manila, then Cantabria by Chef Chele Gonzalez is the place to be.
The Spanish restaurant has recently welcomed Chef Álvaro Romero-abreu Raya as its new Chef de Cuisine. Born and raised in Cádiz, Spain, Chef Raya brings years of experience working in Michelin-starred kitchens, including the world-renowned Mugaritz in Spain.
He now continues the culinary vision of Gonzalez, blending traditional Spanish flavors with a modern touch.
One of the best ways to experience Raya's expertise with Spanish food is through Cantabria's new seasonal five-course set menu.
The menu starts with Tiradito de Atún y Gazpacho, a refreshing mix of tuna, Andalusian gazpacho, pickles, and confit tomato. Then comes the Terrina de Pato y Mermelada de Mango, a rich duck terrine paired with mango chutney, pistachios, and toast.
For the mains, enjoy the comforting Arroz Negro y Mero al Vapor, a creamy black ink seafood risotto with steamed grouper, and the flavorful Solomillo y su Demiglace con Calabaza Asada, a perfect slice of tenderloin steak served with roast pumpkin purée, pickled pears, and fondant potatoes.
To end your meal on a sweet note, the Sobao Pasiego, a specialty cake from the Cantabria region, is served with berry coulis and cheese ice cream.
The five-course menu is available for lunch and dinner at Cantabria by Chef Chele Gonzalez, located at The Westin Manila in Ortigas, Mandaluyong City. It's priced at P2,900++ per person, which comes with tapas amuse bouche and a glass of signature cocktail.
