"LE BISTRO is a novel concept in casual dining. It features the latest trend which is SUSTAINABLE FOOD. Le Bistro offers a special sustainable food menu which ensures that food products support earth-friendly initiatives and help sustain local farmers.
The flagship place is centrally-located in Salcedo Village, Makati at the heart of the country’s premiere business district. Sharing the façade of Fraser Place serviced residences, Le Bistro allows a panoramic views of the bustling metropolis.
The other stores mainly feature sustainable coffees harvested from Philippine farms and other coffee and tea concoctions. The most prominent branches are in Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 of Ninoy Aquino International airports. There are other kiosks in entertainment centers of gaming areas across the country."
Whenever I stay with mom in the hotel, I would always try restaurants within Salcedo village. A lot of the metro's coolest restaurants (plus weekend markets) surround the hotel. Most are quite expensive. But heck, for great food, service and ambience, the money is always worth it.
For some weird reason, I never thought of trying Le Bistro Vert immediately after it opened. The location of Chef Sau del Rosario's resto used to be Capones Bistro, now located in A.Venue.
I was able to try their Eggs Benedict for breakfast a few months back. Mom asked them to deliver it to me, so I guess they can bring you food if you stay at Fraser. Had it not been of Jared, who wants to eat organic food lately, I would be too lazy to eat at the restaurant since I know that I can ask them to bring me up the food, hehe! Good thing, I tried eating at the restaurant since Jared wanted to visit the organic garden as well.

The location is perfect, I can probably eat every week there (if I have extra money or if mom will treat me again). Main entrees would cost around 300-500. But I tell you, it's super worth it! You get to dine with Makati executives and socialites. Ambience is very cozy. They have very friendly staff members (or just because they all know my mom, but I guess not). And of course, you get to eat sustainable food!
"Here at Le Bistro Vert, we want to share with you the joy of eating sustainably …by eating healthier, and enjoying an abundance of fresh, wholesome, locally grown produce. We try to source most of our ingredients from local farmers and producers, community groups, small organic farms or those which do not use any chemicals that are toxic to the environment.
Today’s dominant form of agriculture relies on synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides, large amounts of water, major transportation systems and factory-style practices for raising livestock and crops. Artificial hormones in milk, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, mad cow disease, and large-scale outbreaks of potentially deadly e.coli are all associated with this industrial form of food production.
Le Bistro Vert offers a special sustainable food menu which ensures that food products support earth-friendly initiatives and help sustain local farmers. The food on Le Bistro Vert’ s table involves food production methods that are healthy, do not harm the environment, respect workers, are humane to animals, provide fair wages to farmers, and support farming communities."
See you at Le Bistro Vert!
