Dinner at Metronome in Makati

OMB


November 9. 2021

Tonight’s parents’ night.

Oyen brought us to Metronome, the new dining sensation making a name for itself. Armed with her work experience at the French restaurant Robuchon, chef Miko Calo, with her partners Elbert Cuenca, RJ Galang, and Alain Borgers have succeeded in titillating the discriminate palate of Manila’s who’s who.

This French restaurant is named after an ancient Greek device called metronome. It is commonly used by musicians to guide them to produce regular beats.

Sarap ng tulog nya.  He was oblivious to the movements and noise around him.
Cozy café corner with plants and a cat bed.
Oyen booked an early dinner,  a smart thing to do these days— to avoid the crowds, to avoid the heavy traffic, to be first in the parking lot, not to feel sleepy while at dinner.
Elegant restaurant seating with white tablecloths and beige chairs.

j  We’ve dined in many restaurants in many cities and countries.  We somehow could tell after two dishes if the restaurant is great or not.

Marami dyan hit or miss.   For example  out of 5 dishes,  only one stands out.  In Metronomes case,  majority of the dishes were very good, and the rest were good.

We had one each of this fresh Mozzarella Blanc Manger.

This night was a hit.  We felt comfortable eating indoors because not many people were there yet at 6:30 pm.  We were pleased with our menu choices.  The Metronome staff and owners noticed that we were enjoying ourselves.

It was only Edmund who ordered wine. He got GLS 2019 Joseph Drouhin, and coffee afterwards.  Oyen had Camomille.

We’re coming back soon.  Edmund and Oyen are craving for the Entrecote.

Tables are always full especially for dinner so better book well in advance.
