If you’re a foodie who wants to wander off the beaten path, there’s a special place just for you.
Nestled inside Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria, Seven Corners offers a culinary experience that transcends borders. This restaurant is a haven for food enthusiasts, presenting an eclectic buffet of global cuisines under one roof.
Just imagine excitement and anticipation as we, a group of eager foodies, embark on three gastronomic adventures – breakfast, lunch and dinner at Seven Corners as part of our #AWeekendThatNeverEnds experience.
Dining in style and comfort
The setting certainly helped to spotlight the artfully arranged dishes in their respective stations. We noted that the recent renovations have given the space a refreshing, airy feel, with sleek furniture and stylish lighting accentuating the modern décor. The welcoming and comfortable atmosphere makes it the go-to place for families, creating an inviting environment where guests can relax and enjoy their meals. The spacious layout ensures that whether you’re dining with a large group in a private room or enjoying an intimate meal in a window-side booth, there’s a perfect spot for you.
A flavorful journey across seven delicious world cuisines
The concept behind Seven Corners’ buffet is as impressive as it is diverse, featuring seven unique stations that celebrate the richness of world cuisines. Each station offers a distinct culinary adventure, showcasing the expertise and passion of the chefs.
Salad Station
We were welcomed into the restaurant by the Salad Station, a vibrant display of fresh greens, sliced vegetables and fruits, as well as a variety of nuts and dressings. The importance of balancing our meal with lighter, refreshing options was evident here. The assortment of crisp, colorful ingredients enticed us to create our own salads, setting a healthy tone for the feast ahead (or at least minimizing our guilt from indulging ourselves later in the meal).
Pizza & Pasta Station
The Pizza & Pasta Station, across from the salad station, is where the aroma of freshly baked pizzas fill the air. The customizable pasta dishes were a highlight, with chefs preparing pasta to order right before our eyes from our selections of pasta noodles, sauces and toppings. The delightful variety of breads, cheeses, jams, and cold cuts off to the side added to the experience, offering a taste of Italy’s finest.
The four-cheese pizza, with its rich and gooey texture, is another highlight.
Japanese Station
The Japanese Station, on the other hand, was a sensory delight as well. From the delicate slices of sushi and sashimi to the freshly made crispy veggie, fish and shrimp tempura, every dish was a work of art. The meticulous presentation – from the displays of sushi boats and the preparation of Torched Cheese Salmon – enhanced our dining experience, making it as visually pleasing as it was delicious.
Indian Station
The Indian Station introduced us to a world of spices and bold flavors. Dishes like Baingan Bartha, Aloo Curry, and Gobi Palak Masala tickle the palate, complemented by various chutneys that go perfectly with freshly made buttery naan. Each bite is a celebration of India’s rich culinary heritage.
Asian Station
At the Asian Station, we find a delectable array of Chinese, Southeast Asian, and Filipino dishes. The Filipino favorites such as Crispy Pork Belly was a standout, embodying the rich flavors of the Philippines. The make-your-own Singaporean Seafood Laksa experience was a must-try, as well as selecting fresh crab and shrimps to be sautéed in a special garlic butter sauce or oysters for baking upon order.
Western Station
The Western Station offers a taste of with American and European classics, such as grilled seafood, roasted meats, and the ever-popular US ribeye steak. The Roast Porkloin in Tarragon Gravy, Roast Chicken with Coriander and Lime, and Mediterranean Baked Fish are just a few of the tasty dishes that showcase the diversity of Western cuisine.
Dessert Station
No meal is complete without dessert, and the Dessert Station at Seven Corners does not disappoint. The wide variety of cakes, cookies, fresh fruit, and ice cream cater to every sweet tooth. Unique offerings like the chocolate fountains and a section of Filipino desserts such as Taho, Puto Bumbong, Bibingka, and other kakanins added a festive touch to the end of our meal.
Diverse culinary traditions in one place
For a foodie like me, nothing beats the joy and satisfaction of exploring diverse cuisines in one place. Each station offered a unique experience, showcasing the culinary craftsmanship and passion of the chefs. The meticulous preparation and presentation of the dishes reflect a deep appreciation for global cuisines, making each bite a memorable one.
Of course, the friendly and helpful attention paid to us by the servers made our meals here even more enjoyable. From anticipating our requests to imparting some niblets of interesting information for our posts, and even gamely taking our group pictures, the staff certainly went all out in ensuring we had a great time.
I’m happy to say the quality in food and service has been maintained throughout the three meals that my friends and I enjoyed here during our stay.
