Manila’s Most Expensive Buffet!! Filipino Fine Dining!!

I would pay $90 to eat there. The atmosphere, the variety and the service seems great. Most of the food looks delicious and the presentation is sensational

For the seafood section (e.g. lobsters, crabs), you can ask them to have it buttered or roasted with cheese. You can also request to have them cooked in coconut cream. They cater to almost any request with no additional fee, it's included in the price 😅

Asked for a vegan pizza last time I was there.. Wasn't expecting the French chef made me a whole vegan pizza.. I was impressed.

My wife and I just went last week for dinner. Definitely worth the price with the amount of service and choices you’re provided. One thing they don’t mention til you get there: unlimited foie gras

Somethings wrong with the thumbnail,(the flag position,red is in the top,it should be blue)(Philippines is not in war)

Sonny is so hilarious because the second half of his sentences are never what we expect: "It smells like....rich people" 🤣

Sonny, don't deny it....the Philippines is your favorite place in Asia..welcome back again and again and again

The buffet in Manila, Philippines, typically offers a diverse range of traditional and international dishes. Guests can enjoy fresh seafood, delicious Italian pasta, and Filipino specialties like adobo and lechon. The atmosphere is often cozy and comfortable, creating an ideal setting for a varied and exciting culinary experience.

My friend is a chef here, and I think he is the one featured in 7:11. I can honestly say, out of all the buffets I have tried in the Philippines and Sydney, this is the best. The variety and quality of the food in Spiral are amazingly insane.

The security was looking for tupperwears 😂

You can never go wrong spending that much to experience binge eating in this buffet restaurant. The presentation and the taste of the food, together with the sublime ambience of the place will put you in awe, that a place like that really does exist. I have eaten there multiple times and I can't wait to go back again.

For us filipinos it's expensive but you as foreigners it's already a steal deal compared to western buffets that costs the same price in sofitel but the food isn't as delicious. I'm glad you've covered this blog to unveil how sofitel's buffet is superb and delicious!

I did contract work in Africa with a bunch of French dudes. The one night they pulled out a wheel of cheese, cut the top off, scraped the cheese loose on the inside and filled it with wine. So it turned into a cheese and wine soup in a cheese wheel. Then they dipped french bread in it and ate the contents like a edible fondue. No idea what it was called and didn't want to interrupt their dinner but couldn't stop staring either 😂

I swear Sonny was genetically engineered to just be so enjoyable to watch. There is no way he is a real person!! Just the chillest dude ever

I have very fond memories of this hotel. Me and my wife (colleague back then) worked in this exact buffet restaurant for years, my wife was even one of the first batch of regular staff that the restaurant had - and let me tell you, being a regular staff is a huge deal in this in this hotel because of the amount of sheer number of competition that you have for the job. Sofitel Manila is very discinct in how it does it's service - it's all about 'cousu main' service or 'service with a heart'. In all our years of hospitality career, we've never worked with people as well-trained or passionate to this day. We've since moved on to managing a tavern in Western Australia but we still look back at Sofitel Manila and the Spiral Restaurant with nostalgia.

As a frequent customer of the Spiral, I've got suggestions for maximum flavor + bang for your buck strategy on The Spiral. 1. Go for the roast pork, beef, duck, and lamb. Ignore the chicken. 2. After that decadent start, go for the Miso soup. 3. Now go abuse that cheese room and ask for more prosciutto. 4. Then, navigate to the seafood section. The lobster is to die for and if you think you can handle it -the paella. 5. Cleanse the palette with Miso soup again. 6. It's an acquired taste (you can skip this part) but go with the foie gras. 7. Slow down with the Korean section. 8. If you can still handle it, take a deep dive on the Japanese section. 9. Dessert.

Interesting fact. In the USA, white chocolate flipped back and forth on actually being chocolate because there was a time when the only thing that could be called chocolate had to have cocoa solids. Since white chocolate only has cocoa butter, it was no longer referred to as chocolate. Ruby chocolate is a relatively new fourth type of chocolate and I wish it became more popular.

🎉🎉🎉🎉 welcome to Manila!! 😊

That kind of wide selection of international dishes, with lots of premium finds, the cozy ambience, the engagingly interactive staff, and the whole delightful gastronomic experience? PRICELESS! That's why even if it is indeed quite pricey, the whole experience is all worth it! And satisfied customers keep coming back!

That is my dream RESTAURANT in my life. I will go with my wife and kids to eat there for our entire holiday in the Philippines. Excellent just Excellent and I have never heard of it before. I just got back from Bali and going back home to the Cook Islands to see my Mum. Next holiday is in the Philippines. From a Cook Islander
