G Hotel Manila’s brand of truly personalized service extends to its dining facility. Café Noir, located on the ground floor of the hotel, is considered an interactive coffee shop with a lifestyle concept. The restaurant specializes in Asian and international fusion cuisine served a la carte and can seat up to more than 30 people.

With executive chef Marcelo Tesalona’s culinary expertise, Café Noir offers a vibrant interplay of cultures and tastes with a lineup of delectable recipes that depict an attractive blending of Southeast Asian flavors (Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese and Filipino dishes).

Chef Marcelo, who has almost 20 years of culinary experience, says consistency is key to making his gastronomic delights. “Having satisfied guests is the key to gaining their loyalty. I make sure that every dish presented is cooked to perfection and prepared with the same amount of ingredients, time, temperature and lastly, consistency and constancy,” he says.

Among the dishes that will surely tickle guests’ taste buds are East-meets-West (grilled pork belly with Thai-style fried rice and sweet soy glaze served alongside pork tenderloin on green apple and bacon risotto drizzled with aged balsamic), Sunrise (minute steak with ranch eggs, hash browns and gravy), Kari ayam (chicken breast fillet and potato in Indian curry sauce flavored with pandan), roasted duckling and calzone. Café Noir’s signature dessert Black Secret (tall glass coated with hot fudge filled with dark chocolate ice cream topped with almond flakes and whipped cream) is as sinful as it can get. “Our menu selection was specially designed to give our guests a one-of-a-kind all-day dining experience,” furthers Benhur.

At G Hotel, all details are double-checked to assure guests that they get more than what they expect. As Benhur sums it, it is their pleasure to give pleasure.
