French National Day Specials at Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila

DSC_0007

C’est Trop Bon!!, it means delicious in French, it’s the word that we learned for this month and thanks to Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila for introducing to us an another gastronomical experience featuring their French National Day Specials in observance of a French celebration called “Bastille Day”.

The new set of French food that are served at Sprial Manila’s European atelier will be available from the entire month of July 2016.

So if you want to try French cuisine in a French brand hotel, then you should be here at Sofitel and explore the taste without going to France.

If there’s cheese, the best to pair it is with a good fine French wine

Will edit this – I forgot what it was called, it’s a welcome wine drink.
