A Tradition of Celebrations at Circles Event Café, Makati Shangri-La

    For the past several years, it has become a tradition for us to go to Circles Event Cafe if we want to hold a special get-together with our love ones.

    This restaurant has witnessed several birthdays and anniversaries, and it was also here where Khris and I had our first breakfast as a married couple. 

    What we like about Circles Event Cafe


    There are so many things to love about Circles such as the homey atmosphere, the friendly staff and, of course, the great selection of cuisine.

    The ambiance


    Despite being in a five-star hotel, Circles Event Cafe has a warm and welcoming ambiance. It's like a big family 

    The food


    At Circles Event Cafe, the meals are exciting affairs that are worth looking forward to. What we like most is the extensive selection of food.

    Steak at Circles Event Cafe

    We would start by getting prawns, mussels, and crabs at the cold section, and would have these cooked in garlic and butter.

    Of late, however, crabs have been absent so it might disappoint those who love this tasty crustacean. As for us, we are content with the large prawns and plump mussels.

    The carving station is another corner that we do not fail to miss. A slab of juicy, medium-rare beef, smothered with gravy or red wine sauce, plus a siding of tasty potatoes, vegetables, and Yorkshire pudding is always a winning combination. 

    For me though, a plateful of steak is not enough so a second helping of this meaty goodness is certainly in order.

    What we also keep coming back to are the fresh slices of tuna and salmon sashimi, as well as rolls of California Maki, are also perpetually present. These dishes never disappoint because quality and taste are top-notch at all times.

    Aside from these, there are a lot of other dishes, ranging from local to international, that cater to a broad range of palates.

    With the many selections, it would be difficult to sample everything though. Moderation is key for those who are on a mission to sample all dishes.

    Desserts


    The dessert station is no doubt another favorite among patrons. Something light? Why not opt for chunks of fresh fruits in season?

    But if you want to indulge, there are cakes and pastries like Tres Leches cake, vanilla pudding with butter, and tiramisu, to name a few. For a cool treat, there is halo-halo, ice cream, and frozen yogurt.

    Coffee and tea


    Alcoholic drinks, fruit juices, and iced tea are billed separately. However, tea and coffee are free. For hot tea, you may choose to get green tea or black coffee. For black coffee, you can request cream and sugar or artificial sweetener at no extra charge. 

    Epilogue


    A visit to Circles is always a treasured moment for us. Nothing can be better than a good conversation with loved ones over great food. We will definitely keep coming back to Circles whenever we have the chance.

      1. Ah, really? That's nice to know. At least you still try to reconnect with your birthplace. Must be nice to experience 2 distinct cultures -- that of the US and the Philippines.
