My friend Anna wanted to have dinner with us face-to-face to celebrate her birthday and she suggested that we have dinner at The Loggia by Margarita Fores, which is located in Palacio de Memoria along Roxas Boulevard. None of us had eaten there before so we were all quite interested and excited to try it.

The Loggia is pretty much an al fresco restaurant. While it does have a roofed area, it isn't enclosed. This made for an ideal place for us to meet up since open-air dining still felt safer.
Palacio de Memoria is a museum complex that also serves as an event venue. There are a couple of airplanes in the garden and based on the official website, I think this one that I took a photo of also serves as a lounge.

We decided to order several items that everyone could share; that way, we could try many different items on the menu. We ordered a dip appetizer, a couple of pizzas, a couple of pastas including this Linguine, Prawn, Capiz Scallops, and Tomatoes dish,...

...and the Dry-Aged Ribeye.

Since Anna was celebrating her birthday, the staff gave her a complimentary Lemon-Olive Oil Torta as they sang happy birthday. We decided to order the other two desserts on the menu - the Valrhona Chocolate Torte and this Mango-Proseco Tiramisu.

Everything we ordered was really good, which isn't surprising because Margarita Fores was named Asia's Best Female Chef in 2016. This restaurant is priced similarly to Cibo so it's on the expensive side but I do think it's worth a visit. I'm actually thinking of taking my family here so we can visit the museum, take photos in the museum complex, and enjoy the food.
