There is this quaint new place tucked in Commonwealth in Quezon City that will make every hang out worthwhile. Sessions Bar and Resto is a staple go-to whenever city life begins to get a little too consuming. With its wide variety of food choices and cozy ambience, this is the ideal place to catch up with friends and loosen up from stress.
The comprehensive menu includes a list of the ingredients of each meal, which helps customers choose the dishes they like easier. Putting the promising food choices to test, I tried three things from their menu: Vigan Longganisa Pasta, Vigan Longganisa Pizza and Creamy Salpicao Flakes.
Pizza is always a priority and so I dug in, tasting the freshness of the vegetables at first bite. The garlicky longganisa had a hint of cheese, making it a perfect match. They were so well combined that no ingredient overpowered the other. Also, its soft taco crust is actually made fresh every day, as well as their cheese.
The Vigan Longganisa Pasta is simply mouth-watering. You can’t miss the taste of the local longganisa in every chew, and it does not swim in oil. Guilt free, definitely. The toasted bread on the side, which is usually French bread by default is actually pan de sal; a rightful twist to a modern Filipino dish.
Meanwhile, the Creamy Salpicao Flakes came as a surprise because it is different from the dish I know. The modern twist to the dish made it more enticing. Eventually I figured out that they had to call it “flakes” since the beef is shredded. The taste did not disappoint, and with an empty stomach, I’d definitely call for rice.
To my surprise, the price range is pocket-friendly. The pizza is just P190.00 and the pasta is P165.00. There’s service charge, but you’ve got to pay only on cash basis. The place is fabulous and the staff is very warm to the customers. They can also provide a private space for special dinners that doubles as spot for enjoying an acoustic session. They also have nights where OPM icons like Franco, Sandwich, and Rivermaya play for the customers.
For those looking for a place for dinner or simply a place to hang out with friends, Sessions Bar and Resto will be waiting for you at the Royal Place Arcade, Don Antonio Drive, Commonwealth Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City.
