Ak Bistro - Niles

Situated in the upscale business district of One Rockwell in Makati, AK Bistro (from the team behind Angels' Kitchen in Connecticut St., Greenhills) offers a modern yet cozy ambiance. The restaurant is adorned with wooden panels and furniture, creating a warm atmosphere with a color scheme of brown, beige, and white. One corner of the restaurant displays their bottled pasta sauces, baked goods, and popular products like lemon garlic tinapa and adobong tuyo. The second level of AK Bistro is particularly charming, featuring a staircase wall painted with a quote from Ina Garten of The Barefoot Contessa. The restaurant has recently expanded their menu to include a variety of breakfast options available from 7:00 AM to 10:30 AM, Tuesday through Sunday. The reviewer enjoyed the Gravlax dish, learning that its name originated from a Scandinavian term for fermented salmon. The mustard dill sauce was a standout for the reviewer. For dessert, they tried Angel's Kitchen's Rustic Apple Pie, which was praised for its generous apple chunks, cinnamon flavor, and butterscotch sauce. The addition of sugar, cinnamon, and pecan nuts created a delightful texture. Overall, AK Bistro aims to provide a modern yet comfortable dining experience, reminiscent of being entertained at home in Angel's Kitchen. Despite not being the typical choice for a refined dining experience, the food was genuine and evoked feelings of home and familiarity.

Hmm, I enjoyed it very much.
