P250 for P500 worth of food at The Cuisinier Brasserie

France has graciously loaned three things to the rest of the world: wineable grapes, Audrey Tatou, and words that end with a silent but deadly x. Admire the taste of a tradition that has lasted well beyond the Eiffel Tower's original shine with today's Sweet Deal: P250 for P500 worth of food at The Cuisinier Brasserie.

The kitchen holds a trove of treasures for the food connoisseurs. Before jumping head first into the meaty goodness of your meal, Sweet Deal holders may want to try the Soupe a L'Oignon (P190), a caramelized onion soup with sherry and red wine, or the Bouillabaisse (P345), fragrant fish soup originated in Marseille region. Before the main dish is served, pass the time singing lullabies to the Coquilles Saint-Jacques Mornay (P220), baked half shell of scallops, piped potato and gruyere cheese sauce; Cassolet de Tripe (P220), sautéed ox-tripe with cream sauce covered with puff pastry; or their Prosciutto en Melon (P260), skewed of melons and shrimps with prosciutto and arugula. To salivate the gobstopper holder, a couple of menu items that would do the job would be the Boeuf Bourguignon (P720), a chuck eye-roll Angus beef braised in Bordeaux wine, served with steamed potatoes and croutons; Canard A'la Orange (P760), roast magret of duck valette served with orange and grand marnier sauce and pomine croquettes; or their Fillet de Boeuf Wellington (P880), a lovely fillet stuffed with mushroom duxelle and wrapped in pastry..

The Cuisinier Brasserie boasts of a relaxed, intimate dining experience in a sophisticated atmosphere, using everything from cazuela to fine bone china, but at prices that won't break the bank. Sweet Deal holders walk into a softly lit restaurant with a dramatic ceiling that serve fresh and seasonal French and Mediterranean cuisine.
