French Baker at Landmark Supermarket in Trinoma Mall.  Who wouldn’t be attracted with the ambiance this branch has to offer,  cozy ambiance, comfortable couch seats, and with dim-orange lighting.  Imagining the notion of dining there with my family makes me smile.  Good thing hubby is in the mood to dine at French Baker then, and so the experienced began.  We were seated on a very comfortable couch, and then waited for the server to came to get our order.  After choosing the only available dish they has to offer then, we chose the fourth dish before the server told us that that is the only available for rice meal for that night.  We were disappointed, it was only 6pm on a Monday night and they don’t have any choices to offer.

soup on a bread bowl

Soup on a bread bowl (soup of the day: chicken and corn) served in hollowed-out crusty bread.   This is the comfort food i can say for that night.  The taste of the soup is just right not salty nor bland and the bread used is really freshly baked, it was soft and moist.  At the price of P105.00.  A rating of 4/5.

cheezee mac

Cheezee Mac is a cheesy macaroni tossed in Mornay sauce, served with your choice of grilled foccacia or garlic bread.   I find their serving very small for the price of P158.00, but it was good.  The macaroni and cheese blends with the ham topping.  But find the garlic bread not freshly baked for it was hard for me to chew, and it was too oily for my taste.  A rating of 3/5 for this dish.

beef burgundy in casserole

bread and sidedish of buttered corn and carrots

The French Baker’s version of boeuf bourgignon, a robust beef stew cooked in red wine sauce.  In my opinion,  What’s a beef stew without rice?  We originally ordered this dish with rice, but after paying our orders we were informed that they don’t have any available rice to served, and since we have paid for this dish  already we don’t have any choice but to accept the alternative they offer, to serve it with roll/bread instead.  It was hard for me to enjoy this dish without rice, for the sauce of the beef stew is quite salty if with roll/bread.  You can instantly distinguished the taste of the wine used in this dish for it’s kinda sour to my taste.  The beef used was juicy and soft.  At the price at P230.00.  A rating of 2/5 for this dish.

Iced mocca, intended with ice as the name implies.  Unfortunately for us, there’s no ice available.  Having ice mocca without ice was no fun! It was too sweet and it’s as if you’re drinking an instant malt drink that you can easily prepare at home.  At the price of P47.00.  A rating of 2/5 for this drink.

coffee

Brewed coffee, it was not hot when served, milk given as a creamer was truly creamy at the price of P62.00.   A rating of 1/5 for this drink.

Based on my experienced at this particular branch, after our dining experience my Overall rating for French Baker, Landmark Trinoma Mall branch is 2/5.   Some of their branches may be worth a visit, surely not all of them has the same situation.
