I try to sneak inside Makati some Sundays or Saturdays, not that I’m declared as a persona non grata in this city, in fact I had a Makati residence for a while back in 2006-2007, but it’s the heavy traffic and clogged streets I try to avoid. About 2 Sundays ago after biking at UP and Ateneo, off we drove to Makati to check out an art gallery slash restaurant. 2 months ago, we traveled all the way to Tagaytay to visit an art gallery café there. I’m so glad Makati was just a half an hour away on a Sunday.
In the midst of the red light district stands Le Café Curieux. The eye on its logo is befitting its name and has become the object of curiosity along the alley of gentleman bars. For those interested in French home cooking but veers off due to the hefty price it’s usually associated with, Le Café Curieux will again pique your interest.
Inside is a small dining area with the bar taking most of the left while the paintings on the wall pan your attention to the right. Wine barrels are used for décor and tables.
We were ushered in the al fresco area, which was a good spot to watch and listen to the light rain while waiting for our orders. The outdoor dining area has somewhat a garden-style vibe.
