Txanton - Niles

Just loved the food and so far have never gone wrong with the wine the 3 occessions we had dinner there. Thanks Marivic for sharing the place

First and foremost, you don’t come here to skimp. Rather you enter through the doors of Txanton expecting to be treated, to be indulged, and to be immersed. Admittedly, the food and wines are the stars here: for food always get their Jamon Iberico (my favorites are Extremadura and Pedroches , Gambas Al Ajillo (perfectly cooked, plump, sweet , Chorizo Picante a la brasa, and their immaculate Wagyu rib cap (best piece of steak in Metro Manila, hands down! . I was a bit adventurous during my last two visits and tried some of their seafood dishes (i.e. Sopa De Pescado and Txipirones Rellenos and I was pleasantly surprised as both were executed quite well. For wines, well you’re spoiled to pick from their collection of excellent French and Spanish wines; I’d always go for their Ribera del Duero reds (particularly Valbuena 5 años ‘08, ‘09, and ‘10 . But going back, it’s always about the service for me. Besay, Marjon, and the rest of the team assure that every visit is a special one. They are knowledgeable, they are pleasant, and they are accommodative. As the saying goes, “food without great service is just another meal.”

We had gambas al ajillo, chorizo picante, the jamon tasting experience, and wagyu rib cap with a 2009 Pol Roger

My first visit to Txanton unexpectedly became somewhat an educational experience! I wouldn't say the menu has limited food selection,but rather a specially crafted one that allows you to explore your taste buds with jamon/cold cuts and an impressive selection of wines and chocolates present. A first few steps into the place may send off some level of exclusivity (niche and specialization),but the friendly and attentive staff will make you feel at home in no time. A good place for those starting their journey into the world of wines.

First of all I don't like Jamon or cold cuts in general but I love wine so I really went here for the wine. To my surprise, i liked their Jamon! : we tried their Jamon Experience Tasting (1st last photo 6 different kinds of jamon and each paired with a glass of wine! The combination of the jamon and wine was superb!!! My favorites 1.iberico 2.iberico bellota pedroches 3.iberico bellota jabugo.. their service was also great.. servers were kind and they educated us too : ambiance was nice but I guess we were lucky that we went on a Thursday : Oh and they gave free appetizers dip was so good that I bought some to bring home (3rd photo .. by the way we also tried their huevos rotos con jamon and its delicious as well (2nd photo : giving this a very high rating and I'm planning to visit them again soon.. : price is worth it understandable: Downside: Sign not visible on the building itself plus chairs not so cozy but I still love it there :
