It’s actually only in Beijing do we indulge ourselves with these kinds of treats because normally, back in Manila, this would cost a fortune (not to mention fewer choices and lack of quality).

Being one of the voted Best dining experience if I recall correctly, Mare had proved to us how deserving it is in the best-list. For one, the dining experience was superb, notably the surrounding will make it “fine dining”. With silverwares to match, you would feel elegant dining here.

Mare offers a Spanish dining experience. They have lunch sets (which is a good choice for us since we were still on a budget, plus it’s value for money!) that offer an appetizer and main course or main course and dessert for about 40-50rmb.

I would always order the one with appetizer and main course because the dessert I like wasn’t in the choice of desserts for the set. The best order I had was the Seafood Risotto ! You could also order the Seabass or Lamb which are also good.

We spent our after-Christmas lunch so it was nice to see a big Christmas tree inside. It would be a perfect place for a Christmas Eve dinner except that the prices will shoot up to the roof!

Although I’m not satisfied with their service, it’s one of my favorite restaurants and what keeps me coming back is the Choco Lava Cake dessert! Seriously, this is the best I’ve tried. Match it with Hazetnut ice cream, you’re in heaven!
