The Manila Hotel’s The Lobby Lounge Reopens on May 24, 2021

 

The Manila Hotel Lobby Lounge in all its splendor reopens its doors to the public after ECQ.

With the easing of restrictions allowing more travel on roads, beginning May 24, 2021, The Manila Hotel is reopening its Lobby Lounge after temporarily closing due to ECQ. The reopening of The Lobby Lounge gives valued guests a perfect opportunity to enjoy its perks again: great food, meeting and endless conversation with both friends and business partners, excellent service and fast free WIFI internet connection; all they have been missing out on since lockdown was put in place on March 2021.

Lobby Lounge's famous Hal0-halo is enough to beat the summer heat!

Le Fleur Cafe PH A Dainty Instagram-worthy Coffee Shop in Fairview Quezon City

Let's admit it, most of us would go to franchise of foreign branded coffee shops to grab our cup of joe or we would prefer to linger over our chai latte while we chat with friends or scroll through our social media feeds. Luckily, there are coffee shops that can offer more than just free Wi-FI connection but a local cafe that had something more than just hot beverages and pastries. I recently discovered this little gem of a cafe called Le Fleur Cafe PH. They satisfy both your caffeine and Instagram addictions.  And bookworms will also be delighted to know that they can read some best selling titles here too for free as they sip their coffee?

Le Fleur in French means "The Flower"  Le Fleur Cafe is airy, quaint and full of light. As you enjoy Le Fleur Cafe PH's signature brewed coffee or their fantastic tea leaves, you can take photographs of the colorful flowers and lovely decor by the windows. The photo opportunities are limitless. They have rustic-chic decor. It maybe small  but it adds more character to this coffee hub as it combines the different elements of quaint and a unique touch to a cozy spot.

When it comes to nailing the perfect brunch spread, while being Insta-worthy at the same time, Le Fleur Cafe PH truly excel. Located in the heart of Fairview (strategically located at the back of FEU-Nicanor Reyes Hospital), we've recently discovered this dainty and cozy cafe. 

Whether you're after the perfect breakfast bowl or a warm cup of freshly steeped tea or a cup of joe, the lovely interior design of this cafe with an indoor garden vibe, Le Fleur Cafe PH has perfectly curated your next Instagrammable brunch. Basically, your feed will never look better. Thus, you really have to visit Le Fleur Cafe PH and add this to your must-eat and must-visit list immediately. 

Le Fleur Cafe PH is nothing short of spectacular. Although it has feminine interior design accents, it gives off a super-elegant feel, perfect for special occasion brunches or even a 'treat yourself' moments. This cafe-meets-garden is the definition of 'urban oasis' with its white wicker detailing, abundance of plants and pretty floral ceiling. An abundance of roses pretty foliage and plenty of light cute accents, Le Fleur Cafe PH feels like an easy breezy and visually pleasing holiday from real life. No wonder it's becoming a favorite shooting location among leading TV shows (Trivia: Alden Richards' ongoing TV series, "The Gift" had some of its scenes taken at the cafe.) Despite of the bustling location, Le Fleur Cafe PH with its decor, it easily transports you elsewhere and provides for the perfect mid-day coffee break. 

The vibe here is relaxed, comfortable and exceedingly well-decorated, leaving you feeling like you're brunching at the home or garden of a good friend with an excellent taste in decor. 

As for the coffee enthusiasts, serious coffee-devotees as well as tea lovers will be happy to note that they have here freshly steep and brewed tea leaves and coffee respectively. Le Fleur know how to make a good brew. " We steep our tea leaves and brew our coffee only upon order," says Ms. Chelsea Quiambao, the pretty young proprietor. 

Known for their strong blends, if you're feeling adventurous, you can try their signature blend. But me and my friends quickly fell in love with their specialty teas. It was love at first sip for me when I've tried their Sunrise Brew and Blossom Tea.  My friends who were with me also loved it. I guess their teas alone is enough to make your trip to Le Fleur Cafe worth it. 

Chelsea, the owner, who coincidentally is my fellow alumna from La Consolacion College Manila (I get it, yes, she's way younger than me!😊) said she started out by baking impeccably delicious pastries during her college days and sold them among her friends and also online. Eventually it was but natural for her to think of something and together with her mom, they came up with Le Fleur Cafe PH. They have created a dreamy space in which to enjoy a scone or a decadent cake with your tea or coffee. 

As for the grubs and chows, they also have awesome menu to choose from: Pasta (Creamy Carbonara, Chicken Pesto, Meaty Spaghetti, Spanish Sardines and Baked Mac), Sandwiches (3-Cheese Grilled, Egg Sandwich and Spamwich), All-Day Breakfast (Eggs, Sausage, Waffle and Hashbrown combo, Waffle, Champorado with Cornflakes). for snacks, they have Mozarella Cheese Sticks, Smiley Fries, Brownies ala Mode and Le Fleur Fondue.
