Old Swiss Inn - Manila

I rarely give a perfect score. Tonight’s meal at Old Swiss Inn Paco branch deserved it. The personal touch on the service was exceptional, and all three items we had were stellar! The price points here are on the high side but justified with the quality of the dishes. Mia and I had a taste of beef, pork, and chicken mains. What impressed me most was the house specialty in Fresh Corned Beef. More than the tender meat is a well-seasoned brisket complimented with sautéed cabbage and boiled potatoes. For varied taste, go ahead and dip the corned beef in either horseradish or mustard. I also love the flavors of both the Chicken Forrestiere and the Zurich Geschnetzeltes. The former is grilled chicken with mushrooms and peppered gravy in a bed of buttered linguini while the latter is shredded pork tenderloin in mushroom cream sauce, accompanied by lovely roesti potatoes. I will be back to visit you soon, Old Swiss Inn. I’ll likely go to your Makati branch instead, given its proximity.

The place is pretty dated, but i guess its part of its charm. The cheese fondue is good, it'll be nice if they added the option of adding different items to dip into it. The zurich is a must try

Really appreciated the food and ambiance. The steak I ordered to be medium rare came a bit more rare than I wanted, so docking some points off for that.

The most appealing thing to me about food is combining and layering flavors, tastes, and textures. And eating with cheese is the best element to that. So, when I knew about Old Swiss Inn serving Raclette and now Scamorza, I told my cheese-lover self that I needed to drop by any soonest date. It was just befitting when the Fat Girls Day Out invited me to join them for the launch of Old Swiss Inn's new menu which apparently is also a partnership with Pinkie's Farm.

I really love Old Swiss Inn. Everytime I think of this, I remember childhood favorites like their Fresh Corned Beef, Gnagi and the fondues. We went to their Paco branch to sample a single serving of Raclette (P548), Black Seabass (P690), Vegetarian Roesti (P200) and for dessert, their famous Dark Toblerone Chocolate Fondue (P650 and free with zomato gold being 2nd highest priced). Everything was magnificent and makes me want to visit again, not just for the food but for the impeccable service accorded their patrons.
