Katre Mediterranean Restaurant

Oh, this has been a part of my blog lag... anywoo, few months back, I met with some of my High school buddies at Katre.

Katre is a semi-fine dining restaurant in Quezon City, which offers fusion of Mediterranean dishes. There is a quiet ambiance which make it ideal for dates and simple gatherings. Well, as far as I can remember the service was good and courteous, the cost was moderate and the food was good.

Anyway here are some pictures of our food:

Herb Crusted Lamb Chops.P650.00 - With mint jelly served with couscous pilaf
Pasta Putanesca with Grilled Chicken Breast. P275.00 - With fricassee of wild mushroom and sherry


Meltingly Tender Pork Belly Chunk. P285.00 - Braised in onion, garlic, bay leaf, star anise, sherry, honey and shiitake


Beef a la Salpicao.P300- Shredded U.S top blade steak sauteed with olive oil, roasted garlic and shallots, cilantro, tomato and bell peppers
Will come back again- YES.

That's All!

Gilak by hussein

Persiana in greenbelt 3 is gone but another Persian resto took place, Gilak by Hossein.

This is similar to Hossein’s family resto (which is well-known for its Indian, Arabian, and Persian dishes) but with a different name; according to our server Gilak is the place where the owner (Hossein) came from.

The place is prim and soothing with a touch Persian/Indian feel, service is impeccable and food is fantastic, but I'm a bit sneering about the price - a meal with drinks would cost around P800/pax.

Chelou Barg Kebab.P570. - There's something about the Persian food which I truly enjoy.... must be the buttered rice or the appetizing smell of kebab or must be the grilled red tomato. The tenderloin itself was juicy and tasty, it was cooked the way I want it- "medium hotness"; My meal was satisfying, although it could have had much better if it comes with with onion/yogurt sauce...

That's All!

Zigurrat

Zigurrat means food temple... It is a unique restaurant in the heart of Makati (near red light district) which serve diverse cuisines - Indian, Mediterrenean, African and mideast dishes. The place is small and simple with colorful and detailed interiors showcasing of Islamic/Arabic arts.With open area where you can enjoy fresh air(?) or have some shisha/hookah or just enjoy their delectable dishes in their air-conditioned area.

Menu is presented in a gazette (news paper) with amazingly over 300 dishes on it.... Our food adventure starts with Mezzo mezze. P300 - four favorite mezzes served on a special mediterrenean tile includes hummus, mutabbal, jazac, mahroussa and three pieces of khobiz.


Jordanian rice.P90- These basmati rice cooked just right, with butter, vermecelli and almonds - it is simply amazing.

Couscous T*faya lamb.P325- The lamb is juicy; taste like adobo to me with a twist of honey...

Ethiopian Chicken We't.P375 - Chicken dish served in chicken porcelain platter/jar- Cute! These dish is very tasty a little spicy with a hint of butter and curry... YUM!
Small platter. P285 - contains mixed kebabs such as chicken tika and beef kuftemiz with grilled tomato. I would say that their kebabs was really tasteful

Oh, Zigurrat is truly a very nice hangout place and they're open 24 hours. NICE!
