Avenue Plaza Hotel Launches New Menu of Cafe Plazuela


Naga City - Avenue Plaza Hotel (APH), the most awarded hotel not only in this city but in the Bicol Region has taken it's toll in providing world class experience to its patrons both local and foreign guests. Over a year ago of the same month, APH re-launched the famous Afternoon Tea after being originally launched for the first time back in September 2013. Behind the re-launched Afternoon Tea were two Global Chefs with decades of culinary experience in the name of Chef Paul Oraa (Pastry Chef) and Chef Rudy Velasco (Executive Chef) (Read HERE for their BIO). Avenue continues to invest in people with real talents and skills to provide world class culinary experience at the comfort of our home city, Naga. The Avenue Plaza Hotel  now on its eight year of providing the good life to guests is indeed a milestone. Happy anniversary!

Lingers to your soul. The Café Plazuela is always beautiful  the whole year-round.  The whole ensemble of the restaurant consists of the lights, chandeliers, chairs, ceramic tablewares, exquisite glasswares. Beyond the physical attributes of Café Plazuela the most important aspect in a restaurant is always something produced by people, the courteous and smiling servers, live music being played by talented musicians and the chefs behind the meal you are about to partake.



Around the world kind of menu but never leaving out the goodness of Filipino Dishes. Today, the NEW menu of the Cafe Plazuela is now open to the public and loyal guests of the hotel. It's an all around the world kind of menu for everyone to experience right here in the Heart of Bicolandia. Now many of the dishes might be word-class but rest assured that Avenue does not leave out the goodness of Pinoy food. Cafe Plazuela will be perfect for your special occasions and cherished moments. Remember, that even if you're not checking in at the hotel, the restaurant is always open to serve you.

Last weekend, together with the Bicol Bloggers and Nagayon Team, we were privileged enough to have a taste (just a few dishes) of the new menu. While Naga City Deck Facebook turned 20k Likes a night before our staycation at the Avenue, everything felt like it was destiny. I'm back home to the very first brand who supported my advocacy. I'll keep you posted for the separate article regarding our staycation at the Avenue. Now let's take this all around the world trip right here at home, shall we? There are numerous dishes on the new menu, so everything you’ll see here is just a sneak peek.


A separate blog post will be dedicated to the hotel's amenities. 
Everything just won't fit in one blog post if it's The Good Life Experience.

Everything is not enough in one blog post. These are just few of the wonderful creations of the Chefs of the Avenue Plaza Hotel. There's many for us to try but as for me, I have a limited storage in my tummy, coming back to Cafe Plazuela will be a very good idea. If you have guests coming to Naga anytime soon or this coming Peñafrancia Festival, bring them to Cafe Plazuela and they will experience the good life and the best of Bicolano hospitality. It was a lovely night with my blogger friends and I may sound exaggerated but it was really an around the world journey of culinary creations. We're very grateful to your generosity, Avenue! Cheers to eight wonderful years and more, Cafe Plazuela and Avenue Plaza Hotel!
