Bonjour Mabuhay!

After all what happened during the previous storm and despite being the most expensive buffet in Manila, Spiral Buffet at Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila remains the best and the most sought after hotel buffet in the Philippines. Well, I don’t see any reason why not… It offers luxury in every level. The Food is still exceptionally amazing, top notch service and hospitality, ultra modern equipment, and a truly exquisite dining experience.

After more than a year of renovation, the New Spiral Manila emerges stronger than ever and immediately took the crown of being the best, most luxurious and the biggest buffet in the Philippines and probably in Asia. Let me list down some of the major improvements and changes that the New Spiral offers.

• An 11-Million Dollar Upgrade! All Modern Interiors and Facilities.
• A world class wine cellar
• Twenty-one (21) dining ateliers
• An Impressive Cheese Room
• A dedicated Chocolate Room
• 6 Private Function Rooms for your meetings and celebrations
• Total of 452 seating capacity
• An authentic tandoori oven for a better Indian Cuisine
• A Bonnet French stove – a customized oven used by Michelin Star Chefs around the world and weighing one ton of steel.

The new design of Spiral was conceived by Spin Design Studio of Japan. The same team was also responsible for the original Spiral and other world-class projects such as the new restaurants of Ritz Carlton Hong Kong.

While most of us call it Food Stations… Spiral Calls it Dining Ateliers!

1. Salad and Appetizer

Fresh locally grown produce and organic colorful vegetables freshly picked from our garden will be tossed for you by our chefs with your choice of homemade salad dressings.

2. L’Écailler

Jewels from the sea from oysters, salmon, prawns, crabs and other seafood sourced from all over the world prepared with fresh organic vegetables and your choice of sauces from white wine, vinegar or zesty lemons. Indeed, the world is your oyster, this time, its freshly shucked oyster by the l’écalier.

3. Sushi Sashimi

A raw bar with all the fresh sushi and sashimi prepared for you by our sushi chefs. Japanese rituals abound at this cold stone counter. Temakis and nigiri are in abundance.

4. L’Epicerie

Meat and Cheese lovers will be on seventh heaven in this room where one could feast from a wide variety of premium aged hams, charcuterie, smoked fish, artisanal cheese from France, Spain, Italy, Germany and Switzerland creamery products.

Enough Reading!! Now Here’s a feast for your eyes and tummy! Remember my previous post about Spiral, which was probably the most photo extensive post about the buffet ever? Well, if you loved that, you wont be disappointed! 🙂 Ready? Set… Game!

That Was Amazing!! These dishes were served during a Weekday Lunch. Expect a more extensive spread during Weekends and Brunch! I must tell you, you have to prepare your tummy before diving in to Spiral’s Buffet Spread!!

Technically, no one is allowed to take this much photos of the food especially in detail so a big THANK YOU to my 2 Angels who assisted me in taking photos. If it wasn’t for them I would be probably be dragged away by the security! You know who you are!! 🙂

If you want to increase the level of luxury, If you are dining in a big groups or if you just want to dine privately with your officemates, friends or family, you may reserve one of Spiral Manila’s Private function rooms. You must spend a minimum amount to be able to use one of the rooms.
