Sentro 1771


Serendra at the Fort has always been a favorite eating spot--nice atmosphere, good company and well, easy parking. My niece Nini had her birthday celebration at this Filipino restaurant last weekend and we were pleasantly surprised to find out that it was affiliated with some of our old favorites, Chateau 1771 (Ortigas) and Portico (Adriatico). With well-appointed interiors and good comfort food, the aroma of crispy pata (their boneless specialty) greeted us as we entered the restaurant. For starters, you can try the corned beef tamarind soup; this was definitely a twist to the usual sinigang fare. Their beef with bagoong was tasty, and the commonplace galunggong was prepared in a way that elevated the status of the fish to a new level. The only comment that came to mind was that I found the washroom to be a bit cramped (I am a fan of spacious private areas). Everything else was a good dining experience. Prepare to spend in the range of P600-P800 per head. Delightful!

We were seated right next to this this colorful painting; it added a sense of family & togetherness!
