10 Dove Street

I've heard about this place a year ago and I've been really wanting to visit since then. I would go over every site where I could take glances of the beautiful place. Even photos could make you fall in love at the restaurant, its being super unique and vintage style, the ambiance, especially by how their foods is presented.

    (10 Dove Street, Banilad, Cebu)

Just weeks ago, I've heard they no longer operate in its address inside Sto. Niño Village in Banilad, Cebu. I was a bit depressed. #char

But to my surprise, they just moved their lovely restaurant to a more accessible location at Oakridge Business Park. Seeing their new location with a feel of Pastel pushed me to finally take a visit.

It was the last day of our summer class. Taking final exams, I cannot concentrate a little because my mind has flew to Banilad already U

Going to Oakridge Business Park would take us 2 rides of jeepney from the busy streets of Colon. We rode 13C jeepney that would bring us to Gaisano Country Mall. The other ride which is any jeepney that would pass by A.S. Fortuna Street would bring us right in front of Oakridge Business Park. Riding a taxi is also possible but students like us should be practical :D Driving your own personal car also would not be a problem since there is enough parking space in the location.

Finally! We're here... I'm here!!!

(Very picturesque! <3)

We reached there at around 4:00 p.m. As soon as we opened the door, a lady attend to us. We noticed that the tables accommodate two to four persons only and there were six of us. The lady told us that they have one table that seats six persons on the second floor but is reserved for 6:30 p.m. Luckily, they allowed us to dine but reminded us that it is only up to 6:30 p.m. Being in the place already, we had no choice.

(TIP: If you plan on dining there, you should call for reservation.)

Though they transferred to a larger, two floors place, they could still accommodate limited diners.

So then, here we are scanning their menu.

(They're my college friends except for the guy who is my friend's friend.)

They have variety of foods that we could choose from. They have this full meal course where we could have Soup, Appetizer, Main Course, and Dessert. Isn't it interesting?

(Cafe Menu)

I so love their menu. I think I can have everything. The 10 Dove Street Experience is inclusive of Soup, Salad, Sandwich, and Dessert and Kitchen Favorites covers Soup, Entree, and Dessert. You can choose your choice of drinks separately. Everybody chose the Kitchen Favorites except for me. I chose the 10 Dove Street Experience, because aside from it is cheaper, I really wanted to try their Harvest Apple Salad. 

Everything is perfect aside from the serving of the foods. It takes too long for us. So while waiting...

And then finally, the Soup came followed by my Salad, their Entree and my Sandwich, and lastly and the most awaited part, their to-die-for-Cakes! 

My choices: (10 Dove Street Experience)

(Broccoli and Cheese Soup) 8/10

 (Harvest Apple Salad <3) 10/10

 (San Antonio Sandwich) 9/10

(Decadence <3 <3 Isn't that lovely?) 11/10

Their choices: (Kitchen Favorites)

(Jobeth's: Cream of Corn Soup, Strawberry Mousse, & Amazing Burger Steak)

(Kert's: Cream of Corn Soup, Decadence, & Hearty Chuck Wagon Burger)

(Shenna's: Crab and Corn Soup, Speckled Cake, & Roast Beef Dylan)

(Karen's:Broccoli and Cheese Soup, Strawberry Mousse, & Sausage and Slaw)

(Diane's: Broccoli and Cheese Soup, Decadence, & Amazing Burger Steak)

We had a quick dinner but we enjoyed every bit of it and surely, we were more than full. Their foods are SUPERB! Two thumbs up (y) (y)

Thank you, 10 Dove Street for an awesome dinner experience! :)

La Vie Parisienne

It was one very hot noon time on April 7, monday. Instead of going to school for the first day of summer class, me and my ultimate bff, Bethy, end up chillin' at La Vie Parisienne.

It has been so long since we heard of the place but never had the chance to visit. We always get to pass by but didn't have the courage to drop by because it seems for us, just the ordinary/middle class people, a very lavish one.

But now, we've finally gathered some courage, after lots of research of the place so that we would not be ignorant, to finally visit.

The place is located at Gorordo Avenue, Lahug, Cebu City. Beside is also a french pink house restaurant, La Maison Rose. 

Getting there is very convenient since lots of public vehicles pass by like jeepney's; 04L, 04H, 17B. Or driving there would also be possible because they have parking area, but is only limited.

As for us, we rode the jeepney 17B since we were in our school, University of San Jose-Recoletos. Fair was only Php8.00. As we reach the place at around 11:00 am, there were only about 3 customers dining in, compared to late afternoon and the evening I see on posts on SNS, where the place is a full house, perfect timing for us. The only problem was that, the sun was shining so brrrrightly, it hurts! haha!! 

(the place during the evening. note: photo not mine)

We chose the cheapest in the store since our wallets are malnourished. (I am really just after for the place and the photos)

(Bethy with her basket)

 (wide variety of freshly baked goodness)

We picked Croissant, Chocolate Bun, Choco Stick, and a Four Seasons Juice. (pretty thrift huh!)

(croissant - Php45.00; chocolate bun - Php25.00; choco stick - 25.00)

(four seasons juice - Php 35.00)

Here are some of our selfies at the place..

(note: the trees are only artificial but as you can see it looks so true on photos. CHERRY BLOSSOMS!!!)

As we are about to go out, we took a quick stop at their wine cellar and ofcourse, took photos..

 (wines of different kind can be found. price ranges Php200.00-Php2,000.00)
