Cafe 1771: New Kid on the Pueblo

Cafe 1771 Welcome

March 17, 2010 – Cafe 1771, Ortigas Center – I love Chateau 1771 – well, in general. There have been a few misses, but none of which had been enough to prevent me from coming back for more. When not in the mood for experimental, Chateau 1771 at Greenbelt 5 is always a safe bet. The mood is lavish without being ostentatious. The food is always well thought and the flavors deliberate. I am a fan boy.

Working in Ortigas definitely has it’s challenges for the epi-curious such as myself. It’s an area inundated with call centers and fast food. Cheap. Fast. Single-serving death in a plate. Hardly any of the established sit down restaurants already in the area impress. There are some notable ones that I’ll talk about later, but for the most part, it’s a culinary wasteland.

Cafe 1771 is the latest, curious project from the Chateau Group opening in (Thank you, God!) El Pueblo, and I can’t wait to find out what they have to offer.
