Old Swiss Inn was the first date place I invited Bubba to. His was Salcedo Market, but that’s another story. It was more like an after-dinner thing. Since he loves cheese, as I do, I decided to order the Waatlander Fondue PHP 650. This is their cheese version of fondue, which is served in a clay pot (seals in flavor) over fire. Small slices of bread served in a basket accompanied the cheese fondue.
We decided to pay another visit to the Inn. Since we were waiting for Michelle Callanta of Gadgets Magazine, we decided to grab some late-night chow at the restaurant around 1030pm of May 28. It was still very much the same as I remembered it. Beautiful oak paneling with log timber accent the elegant setting of this warm and inviting restaurant. Etched glass scenes of Switzerland have created an Alpine look while wait staff clad in Swiss costumes add a striking ambience. Even if the wait staff had costumes on, their professionalism is enhanced by their pride and their enthusiasm.
The number of tables taken at almost 11pm in the night rightfully proves its reputation. Specialties include their in-house cured corned beef and several fondue selections. Not only is the restaurant a traditional Swiss house, it also offers many other varied cuisines.
On the Table:
Fondue Bourguignonne PHP 1040
This time around we ordered the beef fondue, which I’ve been craving to try for months! It’s prime beef tenderloin cubes dipped in hot oil with a carousel of sauces (love the peppercorn sauce!), served with slim French Fries.
Old Swiss Inn is one of the restaurants that will always be sentimental to me. Old Swiss Inn is located at the ground floor of Olympia Towers, Makati Avenue cor. Sto. Tomas Makati City. Contact them at 8180098.
