Cafe Fleur

Served together with spiced squash, chickpeas and lamb jus, is this fall-off-the-bone lamb shank. The meat is cooked perfectly and prolly the most tender lamb I have tried. While eating it with the squash and chickpea tends to push the taste to the sweeter side, the roasted baby potatoes on the side gives it another dimension creating a more balanced flavour profile

Enjoyed this dish a lot, should be one of their best sellers lol

Really generous and highly-varied salad. Probably the most colourful dish I had recently as well

This dish is comprised of Quinoa, Beetroot, Sweet Potato, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Red Onion, Carrots, Artichokes, Dried Figs, Almonds with Ginger-Honey Yogurt. The ingredients, individually, didn’t excite me (non-veggie lover 🙋🏻‍♀️), but the combined output is surprisingly likeable

Cannot really comment price-wise as, again, I do not order salads often. But this can be shared by a group, and it somehow neutralizes the palate from the rest of the savoury dishes so I still reco to order

Last but definitely not the least among our apps is the aligue gambas with shrimps sitting on the sauce of crab fat

Shrimps are fresh and plump, while the sauce is thick and creamy. Enjoyed this dish, though you might wanna check your cholesterol level after 😋

It’s beautified with garlic confit, coconut, radish, and some coriander

Fresh oysters with spinach, parsley, and mornay and cheese. Loved that the oysters were fresh, but it’s a tad bit salty (from the cheese) for my liking. A squeeze of lemon can save the day though!

Have seen reviews raving about Café Fleur’s crab cakes and gave it a try though we are not crab cake type of diners

What we got were soft yet crusty crab cakes, packed with evenly shredded crab meat, with little to no hint of grease at all (big +++ as this is my main reason for not being too inclined to order it lol). It was served with calamansi aioli and some petite salad

Enjoyed this dish esp with the tangy hint from the aioli, but still not converted to order crab cakes often 😅 I think the price point could be adjusted as well

Kicking off my recent PH trip ~spam~ posts with this butternut squash soup from Café Fleur. Filling soup, served with well-baked foccacia bread on the side

It is hearty and rich (but not the jelak/umay type) with sweetness from the squash. On top are pumpkin seeds, drops of basil oil, and coconut milk/cream froth, all adding the oomph to the soup. Enjoyed this dish a lot that we opted to have it again on our second visit here

Serving is on the bigger side and can be shared by two (see second photo for the halved serving from our second visit)

Have highlighted that it could be served warmer and they delivered on our second visit :)
