Richmonde’s signature sweet indulgences

MANILA, Philippines - The pastry counters of Richmonde Hotel’s Lobby Café in Ortigas Center and The Lounge in Eastwood City have been a favorite go-to place for the sugar fix of many sweet-toothed office workers and residents in the respective areas.

Offering decadent and freshly baked breads, cakes, and light snacks, these quaint cafés boast of delightful menu selections with sizeable servings and full flavors for an unbeatable great value for money experience.

There are a number of “must-try” items but Richmonde’s signature pastries are tried and tested standouts. Hailed as one of the best desserts in the metro, the Richmonde Chocolate Cake is packed with chocolate-y goodness and provides rich, super-moist, velvety textures with a light, not-too-sweet taste.

Another signature item is the oversize Richmonde Ensaymada, which blends the perfect harmony of soft bread, a heaping layer of light butter cream, and generous toppings of grated cheese. This classic Filipino delicacy is ideally enjoyed with a hot cup of cocoa or espresso. Whether plain, ube-flavored or topped with salted egg, Richmonde’s take on this local favorite is always a sure winner.

The Richmonde Chocolate Cake and Richmonde Ensaymada are priced at just P150 nett (four-inch size) and P95 nett (plain) per piece, respectively. Advance orders may also be made for six-inch and eight-inch sizes of the cake and bulk orders of the ensaymada.    

Aside from these divine signatures, Eastwood Richmonde Hotel’s The Lounge and Richmonde Hotel Ortigas’ Lobby Café also offer other mouthwatering pastries and delicacies that are baked to perfection.

The Lounge’s Bannoffee Pie (P120 nett/slice, P900 nett/whole), Blueberry Cheesecake (P180 nett/slice, P700/six-inch) and Choco Chip Banana Bread (P180 nett/loaf), and the Lobby Cafe’s Nutty Fudge (P80 nett/square), Pistachio Cream Cheese Bread (P210 nett/loaf), Banana Walnut Bread (P245 nett/loaf) and the extra-large Chocolate Cream Puff (P75 nett/piece) hit home with distinct flavors you will crave for again and again.
