Business Set Lunch Offerings at Vask Tapas Room, Bonifacio Global City, Philippines

Lunch menus are all the rage nowadays. Restaurants offer "tasting menus" or set lunches which are smaller servings of their ala carte dishes, so you don't actually get to save money since you get what you pay for (they cut back on the serving sizes) and sometimes even less. We fell into that same trap when we saw Vask Tapas Room offering a 3-course business lunch set. Thinking that perhaps this place would be a bit different and it would be nice to try out a new place; we decided to schedule our lunch here.

At the lobby, we found some interesting sculptures.

Vask is located at the 5th floor of the Clipp Center which is easily accessible by elevator.

We made reservations for 12:30pm but seeing the place almost empty even during lunch time when we arrived, it was apparent that there was no need to. One advantage of that is I get to take better looking pictures of the place.

The walls were covered with interesting fixtures and the ceiling too was eye catching.

Here's a shot of their lunch menu*.

Snack Bites at Cafe Via Mare, Greenbelt 3 Makati

This is a follow up to the Li Li Lunch post. 

After watching the Wizard of Oz play, everyone in the group decided to have a late snack (merienda in short). With the hot & balmy weather, we wanted something simple and light.

After much debate, it was decided that Cafe Via Mare was the way to go.

Being newbies to their merienda menu, we left the reins in the capable hands of  the regulars (K & C). 

With the wicker-looking chair design, blue cushions and blue-green tables, they seemed to be going for the comfy-simple style.... and succeeding.

3 for 3 at TRES, SM The Block

A last-minute lunch run to SM The Block resulted to us going back to our regular Filipino/ Spanish haunt, Tres.
