Gino’s Eats and Beats: Don’t Miss a Beat with the Showstopping Eats

Jupiter Street in Makati is populated with different restaurants that it makes it difficult sometimes to choose where to dine.  If you want a one-stop shop for all your favorite chows that you can never say no to and tangle that with fantastic music –Gino’s Eats and Beats is where you should be headed.

Step into the fresh green and white interiors of Gino’s Eats and Beats restaurant, which was designed by the Team Manila group.  Notice the well-equipped sound system propped in strategic parts of the dining area.  At the end of the hallway is a state-of-the-art kitchen where sumptuous eats are prepared with the best set of cutlery.

Peruse the menu and notice that there are no photos or descriptions that are side by side with the dishes.  Owner Gino Lahoz wants to let the dishes speak for themselves.  No introduction needed as the dishes will introduce themselves by their taste and not one will be left abandoned in distant memory.

On the Table

Roasted Garlic Chorizo and Shrimp PHP 320

Two of the most favorite munchies on the table, chorizo and shrimp sautéed in roasted garlic… this is one wicked bar chow, you will not be able to restrain yourself.

Grilled Sticks Platter (12 sticks) PHP 430

Platter includes Pork Asian BBQ, Chicken BBQ in Peanut Sauce, Pork Pinoy BBQ, Curry Pork BBQ and served with caramelized onions.

I love any grilled items (just don’t make me eat grilled rubber) and Gino’s Grilled Sticks Platter is such a treat since it includes different barbecued meats.  Chicken BBQ in Peanut Sauce taste like Chicken Satay with loads of flavor –same goes for their Curry Pork BBQ.    

Wings Platter (9 pieces) PHP 430

The platter is served with carrot sticks.  You have three batter options for your wings platter: Hoisin Honey, Buffalo, Honey Mustard.  Buffalo wings were definitely a natural choice of preference for most but for variety, the Hoisin Honey and Honey Mustard should also be given a shot.

Longga Burger PHP 150

Yes, they even have a version of the chori burger.

Garlic Beef Tender Tips PHP 220

Tenderloin tips that are soft, they don’t make chewing impossible, very flavorful. 

Grilled Chicken with Mushroom Sauce PHP 245

Enjoy a perfectly grilled chicken breast drenched in irresistible creamy mushroom sauce

Quesadilla PHP 305

Can’t believe it?  Believe it.  They even have a Mexican favorite in the menu.  Lightly toasted tortilla with bell peppers-ground meat filling and splotched with cheddar cheese and sour cream.  Served with screamingly fresh salsa.

–

Eggs Benedict PHP 185

It’s such a comfort to eat the Eggs Benedict.  Eggs and bacon with Hollandaise sauce on pandesal –mm-mmm!

–

French Toast Nutella PHP 120

The perfect dessert to cap off an already sinful gastronomical experience is Gino’s French Toast Nutella.  Get a bite of the soft French toast with generous nutella spread, the tender banana slices and whipped cream!  Mouthwatering it is!  It’s absolutely hard to share 😉

Panna Cotta

For a lighter fare, get the panna cotta.  It’s an equally delicious dessert! 🙂

Great eats and beats –all you ever need in a winsome ambience.  I want to bring my friends and mi chico Bubbalicious to this place to hang and enjoy all the fantastic food and music… and just chill… every single day!!!!  If only Makati is a stone throw away from my place… *shrugs* but hey, I’m actually heading there tonight! 😉
