Bordeaux at the Burgos Circle

The enoteca concept has gained popularity among the night-out set in the last two years or so. While Barcino has been considered one of the more popular and successful of Manila’s wine bars, we think that Bordeaux is slowly become a force to be reckoned with. Having been in the dining scene a little less than year, Bordeaux is already slowly but surely gaining a following from the wine and dine set.

We were lucky enough to be invited by Nuffnang to check out what Bordeaux has to offer, and yes, by trying the set menu that they had for Manila’s Signature Dishes for 2010 (sponsored by Unilever Food Solutions, Casillero Del Diablo and BPI), the place does have a lot to offer.

First dish we had was Gambas ala Rochelle in olive oil and oyster sauce. What we initially assumed to be an odd combination actually turned out to be a party for our palates. Who would have thought that oyster sauce would add to the flavor profile of the traditional shrimp tapas dish? This appetizer was so delicious indeed that we even asked for a side order of bread to mop our plates with.

We also had pork tenderloin in mustard demi-glace cream sauce. The star of this dish had to be the sauce which was flavorful, delicate and rich.

Our other main course was Boeuf Bourgignon. It’s quite difficult to find fault in a dish made of beef slow-cooked in red wine, so we’ll leave it at that – it was awesome.

Lastly, for dessert, we had mango jubilee. It was the perfect end to our fantastic dinner.

We also got to try other dishes from this enoteca. Here are some of these delicious dishes…

So, when in the Burgos Circle in the Fort, why not give Bordeaux a try? It’s definitely worth it.
