Buffet at BEST WESTERN PREMIER F1 Hotel

Hotel buffets. Don’t we just love them?

Amidst all the hotels offering their ever tempting buffets, a new player enters the league. Best Western Premiere F1 Hotel, the first ever hotel to open at Bonifacio Global City in Taguig Metro Manila has now joined the buffet arena through their signature restaurant, F. Located at the 5th Amenity level of the new building, diners can enjoy the view of BGC skyline while feasting on fusion of local and international cuisines buffet spread.

Recently, together with some foodie friends, we visited F1 Hotel to try their dinner buffet.

I was able to take a peek of some of their rooms, but I would have to reserve that on a different post. Meanwhile, let me just share with you my experience during our dinner buffet.

Open-theater Kitchen

Sophisticated yet comfortable. A classy atmosphere that does not intimidate, rather it invites. In every corner lies different tables and chair set ups comfortable enough for one to linger even minutes after savoring such gastronomical experience. F Restaurant has as much ambiance as good food. Their open-theater kitchen gives their guest a view of their skilled chefs making their way in creating delectable fusion dishes that graces the buffet spread.

I can go on and on raving about the food that we have sampled on the buffet spread until I ran out of words to describe everything, but I'd rather not because seriously there are plenty of food presented. So let's just go visual, shall we?

The appetizer section boasts of different canapes, seasonal fruit selections, choices of cold cuts, different salads, varieties of sashimi and sushi, crabs and prawns.

Cold Cuts, Sashimi, Sushi

Varieties of main dishes were beautifully spread right where the open-theater kitchen is located. There were other diners during our visit, most of them frequent the buffet spread but the food attendants were quick to replenish everything.

Some of the main dishes on the buffet table were Beef Broccoli in Oyster Sauce, Roast Beef in Mushroom Sauce, Garlic and Ginger Squid, Vegetable Panache, Salt and Pepper Pork Ribs, and Steamed Fish Fillet Soy Sauce

Some of the dishes that I really enjoyed were Mixed Seafood in Chilli Garlic, Baby Back RIbs, and Mix Seafood Au Gratin

There are plenty more main dishes to choose from.

They also have Chinese soup and dimsum section, and create-your-own-pasta section

One of the things that F Restaurant boast of is their Jamon Serrano. We were told that this gorgeous creature cost 1500 Php. But now, anyone can have a slice or two or even more of Jamon Serrano upon availing of their buffet.

I love how I wouldn't have to leave my table just to have a taste of the Peking Duck, Roast Beef, and Suckling Pig because they are delivered in every table.

Although new to the scene Best Western Premiere F1 Hotel buffet offers an impressive line up of food which are all great tasting and filling. I am impressed with its beautiful ambiance, but the next time that i'll be back, i'll try dining at the pool side right outside the restaurant.

When availing of their buffet, I suggest that you should not miss the strolling food attendants armed with their carving knives and whatever it is that they offer such as the Jamon Serrano, Peking Duck, Roast Beef, and Suckling Pig. These alone are worth the money you'll be paying for. Baby Back Ribs and the Sea Food Au Gratin should not be missed as well for they are the best tasting dishes I've tried among the main dishes. While I love everything on their dessert section, the Amaretto Ice Cream was the one which gives my dinner buffet experience a sweet and pleasant ending.

Until December 30, 2011 you can avail of their buffet breakfast for only Php 788 Nett., and Php 1088 Nett for their lunch and dinner buffet.
