Flame Restaurant — Restaurant in Makati

Flame restaurant truly offers something for everyone, with such an impressive variety of dishes that choosing just one is a delightful challenge. Helmed by the talented Chef Luis Chikiamco, the menu showcases his culinary expertise and creativity, offering a dining experience that is both refined and approachable.

I started my meal with the scallop ceviche, which was a perfect balance of freshness and flavor. The portion was just right, leaving me fully satisfied without feeling overwhelmed.

The Wagyu nuggets, however, stole the show early on. These bite-sized treasures are like a sophisticated twist on chicken nuggets, designed for adults with a refined palate. The nuggets were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the dipping sauce paired so seamlessly with them that each bite felt like a perfect little indulgence.

Next up was the Josper grilled chicken and the Take Out Lobster Fried Rice. The chicken was cooked to perfection, moist, tender, and beautifully grilled. But what truly elevated it was the tamarind purée. It was so flavorful. I accompanied the dish with a side of their heavenly potato puree and Mac and cheese. Both were excellent choices.

Then came the pièce de résistance: the Take Out Lobster Fried Rice. This dish was nothing short of divine and was presented in an adorable Flame branded takeout box, adding a touch of whimsy to the experience. Packed with lobster, chorizo, prawns, and a medley of other delicious ingredients, every bite was an explosion of flavor. Honestly, it was almost too beautiful to eat, but I managed, of course.

The portions were generous, so I happily ended my meal with leftovers to savor later. Throughout the evening, the service, led by Chantelle, was impeccable, attentive without being overbearing. Combined with the spectacular city views and the restaurant's modern yet cozy ambiance, it struck the perfect balance.

To top it all off, my cocktail, the Thai Colada, was flawless. It had just the right mix of tropical flavors and a refreshing finish. I would have ordered another if I hadn’t been so wonderfully full.

Executive Chef Luis Chikiamco and his team have created a dining destination that is truly exceptional. Flame is a must-visit, whether you're looking to entertain guests or simply enjoy a lovely solo meal like I did. It's a place where modern sophistication meets warmth and comfortable. I already can’t...

My husband and friends wanted a nice steakhouse to celebrate my friend's birthday for our last night in Manila. The restaurant is located on the 16th floor of Discovery Primea hotel. The views are wonderful during the day and night. There's also indoor and outdoor seating available. My friend decided to choose this spot since we saw that they had oysters, foie gras, and all that good stuff. For appetizers, we ordered Steak Fries, Crispy Salmon, Duck Gyoza, XO Oysters, and Grilled Bone Marrow. My husband and I didn't care too much for the fries and crispy salmon, but we definitely enjoyed the duck gyoza, grilled oysters, and the bone marrow. I really wanted to try the scallop ceviche and snapper crudo, but we were hesitant on trying anything raw since we were from out of the country.

For our entree, my husband and I shared an Excel Ribeye from Colorado topped with seared foie gras accompanied with a green peppercorn and brandy sauce. We enjoyed our delicious steak with the foie gras, but we didn't really care for the green peppercorn sauce. My friend and her fiance ordered the Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass and the Prime Tenderloin. We ordered our steaks with a side of Truffle Cream Mac N Cheese and Pan Roast Mushrooms. Both sides were fantastic. So good! We had leftovers and had the 3 items again for breakfast, and they were still amazing! The mushrooms were especially my fave - that sauce? Mmm, chef's kiss.

Now, onto our desserts. My husband and I ordered the Panna Cotta, while our friends ordered the Pineapple Consomme and the Miso Cheesecake. All the desserts were beautifully made. They were literal works of art. The panna cotta didn't feel like a panna cotta to us - not sure how we would describe it since the white part of the dessert had a firmer texture than the orange part. The pineapple consomme was very different. It was cut up pieces of fruit, with some kinda of pineapple juice or sauce poured over it. Similar to a fancy fruit platter. However, the miso cheesecake was definitely the crowd favorite. Loved it.

Overall, I would definitely recommed this spot if you're craving some kind of steak. The service and quality of everything was immaculate. Super glad my friend...
