For the past few years, Sofitel Philippine Plaza is on my bucket list because I wanted to eat at Spiral but we all know that their buffet rate is not cheap. We are not rich so I won’t spend thousand of pesos just for one meal. It is true that our dreams can come true if we just believe and if we find ways to make it happen.


Two months ago, we celebrated our wedding anniversary at Sofitel Philippine Plaza and part of the room package is complimentary buffet breakfast for 3 (2 adults and 1 kid) so I was so happy that I finally cross this out on my bucket list. At last, we can experience dining at the famous Spiral Restaurant. When we arrived at the hotel, my son immediately noticed the staircase, the spiral staircase is indeed an eye-catcher.

Spiral 21 Dining Ateliers 

Salad and Appetizer, L’Ecaillier, Sushi Sashimi, L’Epicerie, Hot Japanese, French Stove, Rotisserie, Wood Fried Oven, Churrasco, North Indian, Asian Noodles, Peking Duck Oven, Steam Basket, Chinese Wok, Filipino, Thai, Korean, La Boulangerie, La Patisserie, Chocolaterie, and Creamery.


When we entered the restaurant, the staff immediately ushered us to our table and ask for our drinks. I did not waste time and I checked the different ateliers, I was really amazed by their offerings because it is very different from other hotels that I’ve tried. I thought madami na yung sa Café Ilang Ilang of The Manila Hotel, pero mas madami dito.




The food selections are overwhelming, mabubusog ka na agad sa pagtingin pa lang. In my previous staycations, I always see an egg station but here in Spiral, you can order egg at different ateliers. They have their own specialty so it depends on your preference. Graben noh, sa itlog pa lang ang dami ng recipe.




When it comes to food, they have a lot of choices, like sa juice, bread, spread, pancake toppings, parfait, sausage, cheese, cold cuts, ice cream, and ice cream toppings. Ikaw na ang mahihirapan mamili sa dami ng choices. They have cold cuts and cheese room too, I’m not even familiar with the other cheese so I did not try it.




What I like here, even there are a lot of diners, you won’t feel that it is crowded because there is enough space for you to walk and even bike. Bike, because someone is riding a bike around the restaurant, she gives out the newspaper. Nandiyan din si Manong Magtataho who roams around. There are also entertainers for kids, I saw a guy making balloons for kids.


The service is good, the wait staffs are approachable, helpful and fast in service. Sa sobrang bilis nila, even I'm not yet finished with my food, nawawala na plate sa table. Kinukuha na nila, feeling siguro nila tapos ka na kasi tumayo ka na. It happened to me when I accompanied my son to get his food and when he went to the comfort room. When we get back, wala na yung kinakain ko. Hehehe! The staff also gave us a detox juice. Wow, pambawi sa dami ng kinain.

Start your day right! It was our wedding anniversary and we just had a sumptuous breakfast at Spiral. Even I was limiting my carbs and sweet intakes, I have to put it off para masulit ko ang buffet experience ko.
