Real Culinary Art Begins at ISTITUTO CULINARIO

Last Saturday, February 18, 2012 the newest and most innovative culinary institution, Istituto Culinario officially opened its door by celebrating its inauguration night filled with fun, good food, and excitement.

Held at its affiliated restaurant Brasserie CiCou of Celebrity Chef Cyrille Soenen, the party started after guests were given a tour of the campus.  I will dish out some scenes during the party on my next blog post, but for now allow me to share with you my passport and have a glimpse of the training ground of our future culinary maestros.

Mary Grace Cafe, Greenbelt 2

I always believe that aesthetic component of a restaurant adds pleasure to the entire dining experience.  I guess that is why I am a sucker for beautiful interiors.  Yet, there are times when dining al fresco sounds rather enticing.  Sadly not all of my favorite restaurants offer outside dining areas.  But the few who does are all impressive. Take for example Tatung’s Café and Bag of Beans.  Good thing that my recent visit to Mary Grace Café at Greenbelt 2 gave me a chance to have an addition to my short list of restaurants with beautiful outdoor dining area.

I was dead set on skipping an afternoon snack that day since my friend D and I were scheduled to attend a dinner.  Yet, upon seeing how lovely the ambiance at Mary Grace Café, we decided otherwise.
