Markt at Swissôtel Clark — Restaurant in Mabalacat

Markt has one of the best breakfast buffet offerings for a five-star hotel, incomparable even to Conrad Hotel in Manila or Henann Resorts in Boracay. They have a warm/hot and cold sections: warm/hot refers to the main meals and dishes they offer (Filipino food fair, Western, Noodle Station, Congee Station, Eggs station, other entrees), while the cold section refers to the drinks, pastries, salads, cold cuts, fruits, and gelato section.

They have a good selection of European sausages alongside American breakfast options. If you want to watch your rice intake, they have oatmeal, champorado (glutinous rice soup), noodle station, and quinoa. Best option for the eggs station is their omelette. Plant-based milk options are also available: soymilk and almond milk.

My favorite from the salad station is their japanese potato salad (add some greens for more crunch). You can also put cold cuts and cheese on the side (check out their gruyere slices and hams). Fruits are sweet, pastries are good (best for me is the pudding), and the yogurts are fresh. By the way, they also have fresh fruit and veggie juices with no added sugar.

For my personal recos, don't skip the hamonado longanisa, maple-flavored bacon, danggit, and okoy. Do not leave without sampling their gelato—ube, matcha, and cheesecake are their best-sellers. Ask for decaf coffee when you're experiencing GERD, put some almond milk, and use splenda.

Shoutout to their very helpful staff, Jasper, who was very helpful with table set-up and in bussing out the used plates, glasses, and utensils. Overall, you will never regret eating at Markt—this is my standard of five-star breakfast buffet, at least, for now.

Definitely a good try, and defo will return (IF THERE'S A CHANCE)...

I go here often and unfortunately feel compelled to leave a bad review until I have a much better experience. The service was very bad and we were ignored multiple times. My steak came out within a few minutes of ordering and I should have complained then, but it's my fault and I didn't. It must have been sitting there already made from someone who canceled as it was warm. Considering it came almost immediately out it should have been hot. My girlfriends meal took another 15 minutes to come out so it was an awkward dinner. Any halfway decent restaurant should time food properly for a table of 2. Even after noticing we were not pleased with the service and food situation they did not try harder and make things better at the end. I asked for the check when we ordered gelato for dessert because we were in rush now because of the earlier delays and it never came. I had to ask 2 more times and they still were slow and handling other tables that came in after us. Overall very awkward and unpleasant dinner for such a nice place. I will return and hopefully our...
