Sometime early April, I finally found the chance to visit Chef Jessie’s 100 Revolving Restaurant. Chef Jessie Sinsioco of Le Souffle fame got me loving French Onion soup more than I would have and edified me with what a perfect soufflé is, whether savory or sweet. I also enjoyed visiting Top of the Citi and the Rockwell Club.
100 Revolving Restaurant, as the name connotes, is a 360-degree revolving fine dining restaurant that features Chef Jessie’s timeless signature dishes and a variety of international dishes including ones that highlight Filipino ingredients like Alugbati and Dulong. The 100 Revolving Restaurant’s menu offers continental classics as well as an international selection of sushi, salads, pastas and some Filipino-influenced dishes like adobo.

It’s located at the top of the MDC 100 building, where the 100 is supposedly the amount of pesos Mariano Que used as capital in starting the Mercury Drug business. 100 Revolving Restaurant is apparently not the first revolving restaurant in the country but is certainly the only one right now.
It gives a beautiful view of the Manila Bay and Laguna de Bay. At certain points, the view stretches to silhouettes of mountain ranges. It is ideal to visit right before sunset and stay until Manila plunges into darkness for a magnificent view of the Metro’s skyline. It’s been a dinner date venue of many proposals and engagement banquets.
It’s a huge restaurant where the carpeted circumferential area is where the floor is moving. When you get to the portion where there’s no view outside, you get a clear view of their vast kitchen which was also interesting to see.
It takes almost 2 hours to complete one full revolution but you’ll barely notice the time with the view and the table conversation.
