Food Post: Uno Restaurant

12.20.2013 by Leah // 2 Comments

Because we rarely find ourselves in Quezon City (or simply ‘QC’), AJ and I are not very familiar with the restaurants to try there.  The last time we ventured QC just to try a new restaurant was last year, with Crazy Katsu (read my food review here).

Thus, on the day we watched the matinee of Maxie (The Musicale) 2 Saturdays ago, we left Makati earlier than usual so we can have lunch somewhere in Tomas Morato Avenue.  We do not have a specific restaurant in mind to try, and already decided on Amici (we are suki at their branch in Don Bosco compound in Makati) when I saw this restaurant across it.

It looks so inviting, I pulled AJ here instead hehe!

The restaurant is called UNO Restaurant, and I was immediately smitten by the interiors.

The use of big glass windows allowed for lots of natural light to come in, while the warm grey walls added depth to the space.  The immaculate white tablecloths pretty much balances everything, giving this restaurant an upscale look, without being intimidating  =)

Their Christmas decors are simple, but chic.

We were immediately served warm french bread upon settling on our table.

Because we only have an hour left before the scheduled 3 pm matinee show, we skipped the soup, starters and salad, and went straight to the pasta and entrée.

What I had:  Truffle Cheese Macherroni (P320.00).   It has a wonderful aroma and interesting flavor.  It’s my first time to taste truffle cheese, and its earthy, complex flavor is indeed striking.  I devoured this pasta without any bread, because I wanted to savor every cheese bits there is in this comfort food dish.

AJ had Poussin (P390.00), which is a pan roasted lemongrass and blackpepper whole young chicken with harissa hollandaise.   This dish is simply divine!  Fresh chicken meat, amazing flavors and big serving (it also comes with garlic rice).

The menu at Uno Restaurant is generally affordable.

Had there been more time, we would’ve loved to try the desserts – especially the Cheesecake and Chocolate Cream Pie!

We really enjoyed dining at Uno Restaurant, and will surely be back here for a complete lunch course!

Note: we weren’t able to check if it accepts credit cards now (we paid in cash), and I’ve read mixed information in the web saying that it accepts credit cards and it does not.  To be sure, please check with the restaurant.

I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and sur I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and surface purifier last year. It's the only air purifier in the market with proven technology to kill 99.96% of Airborne and 99.98% of Surface SARS-CoV-2 👍 I had it placed in the office so I don't need to bring anymore my portable UV sterilizer and portable plasma ion purifier. With Manila on extended GCQ and the vaccine roll-out still being finalized, we cannot afford to be complacent. Mas lalo pa dapat mag-ingat with various new strains coming out, too 😬 Safety should be our top priority 👍 @freshairpurifiers

Same as last year, we will celebrate it at home dahil may #covid_19 pa rin. You will remember that last year, yours is the first birthday we celebrated in quarantine. I just came from Baguio (for work) and  someone from our group tested positive. Hindi na tayo nakapagpa-picture dahil puro nasa #covid_19 ang attention natin. We miss you, daddy! I hope you like your flowers today, mas marami na green leaves kaysa flowers. Just the way you like it. 💚💚 #theoriginalplantito

It taste of home, with warmth and love in every bite! 💕 It's great for breakfast or even as dessert. Best eaten warm with  vanilla cream generously poured on top! 😋

It's so spacious and so safe in there. I wore double masks (KN95 and fabric mask from @quins.ph) and my favorite scrub cap from @unisol.ph_ with buttons on both sides for the mask ear loops. It kept my ears from hurting and kept my hair intact too. Never mind if I look more like a nurse than a patient here 😁 Safety first over porma 😜
