Visited KRI Restaurant on Tuesday and was pleasantly surprised. On entering the place I didn't realise the main dining area was at the rear. It is decorated in a modern chic/urban style (reminiscent of a Gallery Bistro concept) with an open view to the kitchen/food prep area and a nice covered outside seating area for smokers.
Food is excellent, presentation top-notch and portion size is fair. The attentive staff are friendly and helpful. Menu is a mix of Grills, Seafood, Homemade Burgers, Pastas, Local Fayre etc. As the dishes are relatively cheap (individually) it is easy to 'pick & mix' various appetisers and entree's to create a varied taste/dining experience. Soft, well conceived lighting and delicate music compliment the atmosphere.
TOP TIP(01): Not on the menu - but shown on a picture high above the reception desk - Homemade Lamb Burger (cooked to your liking) - DELICIOUS!
TOP TIP(02): Tapioca & cheesecake desert (served in a glass) - Mind-blowingly addictive!
Total cost for 4Pax (8 dishes + 3 desserts) + plenty of homemade fruit smoothies & beers - PHP2,400.
Recommended to try.
