Located on the 3rd floor of SM Aura is this 2 piece concept composed of a Bistro and a cafe located along the hallway of the mall, both serve an equally great experience. More than just burgers..
The Cafe portion is more than just an extension of the bistro, it functions as the drink and dessert station for both. The cafe area has a max capacity of 36 people with a diverse layout of long and circular tables, the long bench and padded chairs provide a relaxing place for a post-meal lounge session.
The Bistro on the other hand is a geared towards a quick meal setup with the hard seats encouraging a faster turnover. The Chef's Gallery is much more visible than their first branch at Net Park, which was obstructed by the bar. Overall a chill place to have a hefty meal.
Wise Burger (395 PHP)
Reyjohn decided to be healthy when he ordered this chickpea (veggie) burger or was he not wise enough to read the description, regardless of that he still prefers the moist version from green pastures. Grind's chickpea patty is certainly a hefty piece and will fill any hungry tummy with ease. The bundled potato chips were crisp and the side salad made from local greens and dressed with their secret sauce actually delighted Reyjohn much more than the actually burger itself. Their burger buns are simply amazing, soft yet sturdy enough to handle and forgiving enough on the bite.
Pork Chop (495 PHP)
The hefty tomahawk piece you get here will satisfy most hungry tummies. It's lean meat issous vide and seasoned to a delightfully light salty flavour, texture wise a nice meaty challenge to slice, minimal fats and if any are thin enough not to notice.
Chocolate Shake (200 PHP)
Thick and dark chocolate made from their very own artisan ice creams. It pairs well with their meaty USDA burgers and other meaty dishes.
Ice Coffee (120 PHP)
A light coffee drink that's smooth with a decent mix of caffeine.
Overall a solid experience that's worthy of many revisits. read more
