Review of The Tres Bistro

The Tres Bistro

This particular day, a Sunday it was closed

Classy touch

I really don't know how to characterize The Tres Bistro, but I guess maybe a combination of Italian and Filipino food I would say. It's located not far from the Silliman University 5-10 min by motorcycle from Rizal Boulevard. The ambience here is nice and welcoming and the interior has a classy touch.

A mix of Italian and Filipino

Italian and Filipino style

The Tres Bistro offers different kind of meat, pastas, soups and salads in an Italian and Filipino style. They usually have many guest so obviously it's a popular place.

Pasta ​Tres Putanesca

When I was there a couple of days ago I ordered a Chicken Cordon Bleu but since it was not available I finally ended up with a pasta instead. It was the Tres Putanesca, spaghetti with meat sauce, anchovies, olives, mushrooms and capers. The portion was not really big for me, I could have eaten more since the pasta was very delicious. The spaghetti was "al dente" and the meat sauce had a rich and tasty flavor and had not the sweet taste which is so common here in the Philippines. On the other hand the two slices of garlic bread served together with the pasta had a rubbery and hard texture.

Conclusion

The food was great aside from the two slices of bread. Despite the two slices, my impression was that they use good and genuine ingredients for the food. The service was ​meticulous and they had more stuff on their menu that I would like to try. So I will definitely come back. I would have given a 5 for the food if it hadn't been for the two slices of bread accompanying the pasta.
