The Manila Hotel broadens its culinary offerings with an enriched selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes now available across all dining outlets.
Led by executive chef Konrad Walter, with the support of consultant Riza Shanti Lim, the initiative reflects the hotel’s commitment to inclusive, ingredient-driven, and sustainable cuisine.
“Our menus are rooted in freshness and balance,” said Chef Walter.
“We focus on seasonal produce and non-processed ingredients to create dishes that are not only nutritious, but also full of flavor. We’ve seen guests try them out of curiosity, and walk away surprised at how satisfying and complex vegan cuisine can be,” he added.
From light bites to full-course meals, the hotel’s restaurants now offer a wider range of vegan and vegetarian dishes inspired by global flavors and classic techniques.
At the renowned buffet restaurant Café Ilang-Ilang, guests can enjoy a rotating selection of vegan dishes, primarily available at the Halal station, with additional vegan-friendly offerings thoughtfully incorporated across various stations.
Champagne Room, the hotel’s premier fine dining restaurant, elevates the vegan experience with a Vegan Degustation Menu that changes monthly. Each rotation showcases a refined selection of meat-free courses, crafted to highlight seasonal produce and elegant presentation.
At the hotel’s Chinese fine dining restaurant, Red Jade, meat-free dishes take center stage with a Vegetarian Set Menu featuring Vegetarian Peking Duck, Hot and Sour Soup with Vegetable Dumpling, Braised Potato Eggplant, and Chilled Coconut Jelly with Avocado, to name a few. A la carte dishes like Vegetable with Bean Curd Soup and Stir-Fried Vegetables and Mushroom in Crispy Taro Ring further expand the meat-free repertoire.
At the Lobby Lounge and Tap Room, diners can enjoy vegetarian favorites such as Pizza Bello Giardino, Vegetable Samosa, Spring Rolls, and Fresh Grilled Tofu Salad. Vegan options include Whole Wheat Penne Primavera, and a hearty new addition, the Vegan Portobello Mushroom Burger.
At the Delicatessen, guests will find a line of handcrafted vegan pralines in flavors like strawberry, mango, peanut butter, and fruits and nuts. These are joined by the luscious Vegan Almond Chocolate Cake, a sweet yet guilt-free indulgence.
For guests who prefer to dine in the comfort of their room, In-Room Dining also features an existing array of vegan and vegetarian options, including Vegetable Spring Rolls, Pizza Bello Giardino, Vegetable Maki, Vegetable Samosa, Mezze Plate, Matar Paneer, Tofu and Vegetable Chopsuey, among others.
