The Cocktail Hour

The Rustic Bistro symbolizes idyllic adventure and profoundly speaks to anyone who discerns the epitome of sylvan charm. It is your countryside watering hole; your sanctuary after days of toiling, chores and errands.

Life in the bistro starts and ends with the cocktail hour. We’re reviving this 20th century tradition: a pleasurable refined moment for rumination on the simple pleasures in the countryside. It’s all about tasting the sweet life: honing your senses and soothing your soul. 

Cocktail hour is the antipode of inebriation. 

In our neck of the woods, the cocktail hour is sacred: a time to lean back, lounge around and unguardedly sip that much needed concoction of spirits, sweets and bitters. It's that protracted moment when you let go of the mathematics of living and just be your debonair self: carefree and unfussed.

Time slows down during cocktail hour. At The Rustic Bistro, you set your own cocktail hour: no rules, no time management. It’s all about you.

The pleasurable art of dining starts with an aperitif, a soothing blend of spirits and bitters to set your mood and appetite. If you’re in a space for a glass of wine, our Tempranillo and Pinot Noir wines will give you their distinct temperamental personalities. 

Cap your meal with our curated lagers, pilsners and signature cocktails inspired by mystical folklore in the mystical mountains of Banahaw and Cristobal. 

And for our guests who prefer our beverages sans the spirits, you can always have these in temperance form (alcohol-free). 

Bring your glass of cocktails and temperance drinks by the view deck and watch the world embrace you. If you prefer an unimpeded view of Laguna de Bay and the Makati skyline, or just to be one with countryside flora and fauna, loll about in our picnic grounds.
