Sobremesa: Mucho gusto!

We may know the continent for its football players and beauty queens but one exciting element from South American culture to be introduced to Filipinos is its cuisine. Mucho gusto! Sobremesa by Chef Benjo Tuason dishes just that!

The restaurant’s atmosphere is welcoming, perfectly complementing its name, which takes inspiration from the Spanish tradition known by the same term where family and friends share stories or anecdotes over a hearty meal. And if the heartiness of stories shared at  the table depends on the heartiness of a meal, diners must be prepared to stay for hours on end.

From simple Seafood Ceviches, delicately flavored with citrus and sweet peppers then served with red onions, sweet corn kernels, and crisp lettuce, to plump, juicy Peruvian Roast Chicken seasoned with herbs and spices and Chef Benjo’s signature dish, the delicious, “fall-off-the-bone” tender Bulalo Estofado, Sobremesa will fill you to the brim.

“Prepare with care, cook with love, [and] serve with pride,” is Chef Benjo Tuason’s food philosophy, and the attitude he cultivates in his staff. At Sobremesa by Chef Benjo Tuason, it doesn’t matter when you get here – lunch or dinner – or how long you decide to stay; it’s always the best meal of the day.
