Diamond Hotel's The Lobby Lounge Revisited

I've posted about my experience in Diamond Hotel's The Lobby Lounge before, and this time I brought D with me for him to give his seal of approval.

I wanted him to try Diamond Hotel's famous Truffle Fries (P200) which I first discovered at The Cake Club in Fort.


What I love about their Truffle Fries is that they remain crispy all throughout. The smell of truffle is there after every bite and the only thing I hate about it is the carbs, calories and extra pounds I get from finishing a whole order. I honestly am not a fan of fries but I think I'll make truffle fries an exception. 

Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli (P455)


I missed to try this during my first visit so I decided to order one for us. The ravioli were stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese which tasted very light yet filling. I love that they included more spinach on the side and chopped walnuts for added texture. 

Zucchini Cream (P250)


I remember how I enjoyed Lobby Lounge's Zucchini Cream with the Parmesan Cheese Crisp on top, so I ordered one for D. He said it was good but I noticed that it was different from the one I had before. This bowl looked pale in color and the cheese was not crispy enough either.

Lamb Burger (P510)


The moment D was waiting for.. Diamond Hotel's Lamb Burger- Morrocan spiced lamb patty, feta, Parmesan cheese and harissa yogurt with onions, tomatoes and lettuce with a side of crispy fries. 

The lamb patty was so thick and juicy, D devoured it in minutes. Looks like he really enjoyed this one.. he mentioned how good it was several times. 

For dessert, I ordered for Ispahan (P280)- a macaron-based dessert with lychee, raspberries, cream and rose essence. 


Since we still got room for more dessert, we also had some Genmaicha and Super Moist Chocolate Cake Ice Cream (P180/2 scoops) 


We both liked the Genmaicha with its distinct roasted brown rice flavor. The Super Moist Chocolate Cake on the other hand has this bitter-sweet taste with some chocolate cake bits in it.

Diamond Hotel's Lobby Lounge Menu:




Overall, D enjoyed the Lobby Lounge so much especially their Lamb Burger. Their menu may not be that extensive but that just shows how they perfect each dish to make it special.

    the food looks good, except for the lamb burgers. i would never it sheep meat. lamb is even worse because it is sheep's baby. Vegan burgers would be so much better.
