First Things First

Grand Hyatt is the highest structure in Manila located on the corner of 8th Avenue and 35th Street in Bonifacio Global City.

We were serenaded with “Climb me to the Moon” as the elevator went up to the 60th floor.

You’ll fall in love with The Peak lobby inspired by traditional Filipino tattoo patterns, with interiors designed by Tokyo-based international design firm, Nao Taniyama & Associates.

 

The Peak Bar

Best to go before the sun sets. Go up and hang out at The Peak Bar on the 62nd floor.

You can enjoy your choice of hors d’oeuvre with champagne or cocktails to pair with your sunset experience.

You can have artisan farmhouse cheeses with bread, cracker, dried fruit, nut, chutney.

I like my cheese with honey and mustard.

Sunsets are perfect with cured ham: Pata Negra, Jamon Iberico from Spain, Jamon de Bayonne from France and Culatello di Zibello from Italy.

The best part of The Peak Bar is you that can order the best oysters—Fine de Claire, Belon or Irish.

We loved this velvety smooth Chateau Cap de Fer, Magnum 2016 red wine.

You can hang out on the open deck to watch the sunset and revel in the cool breeze of BGC.

This is the perfect spot and height to enjoy the skyline view of Bonifacio Global City.

 

The Music Lounge

The music lounge features international bands, DJs and other musical performances to entertain you throughout the night.

Manila’s top bartenders serve you the best cocktails.

The Peak is initially featuring The Legacy Band with Lucile Bannholtzer and Michele Lurili, Clifford Myers, Thomas Gilbert and Rustein Merriweather.

You can also settle on the upper level of the music lounge for more privacy and intimate conversations.

You can hear the live performance and get a bird’s eye view of the stage.

You can also find the Smoker’s area on this level…

… with a view of the Uptown Bonifacio neighborhood.

 

The Peak Grill

The main restaurant is a grill steakhouse set with an open kitchen centerpiece surrounded by private rooms and a romantic open deck.

It’s like having an open kitchen in the Penthouse and you can see how your food is cooked by Chef De Cuisine Manuel Baenziger and team.

Check out The Peak Grill Menu perfect for your Christmas get togethers and reunion celebrations in Manila!

Coquilles St. Jacques, baked US scallop, mushroom, gruyere cheese

This was the best dish of the night with succulent scallops and the perfect amount of mushroom and melted gruyere.

Tiger Prawn, garlic, herb, lime

Prawn grilled just right, with a smoky taste.

The charcoal grill is smoking hot but because of a good exhaust system, you won’t smell like one.

You can have your Grilled US prime beef tenderloin the way you want it.

Pair your steak with Round Hill Cabernet Sauvignon 2016, Magnum from California, USA with a 3.4 rating in Vivino.

There are a lot of private dining areas you can book for your special celebrations.

On a good December evening, this is the most romantic place to dine in.

Reserve the private corner spot on the open deck with the Rockwell skylights as your backdrop.

Since this is still a hotel restaurant, you can expect a higher level of cleanliness and privacy from their comfort rooms.

 

The Whisky Bar (Room 1)

To cap the night, you can hang out in the communal Whisky bar table.

Grab a handcrafted Manhattan or Old Fashion.

You can order some pica-pica of seared US scallop with parsnip puree.

You can also go for a more romantic mood with these leather seats.

Relish in the mood with your choice of boutique Whisky from Scotland, Ireland or Japan.

Celebrate with a hand-rolled cigar to enjoy with your friends.

 

The Whisky Bar (Room 2)

This room has a spacious lounge, a main dining table for 14 and its own private kitchen.

I can imagine celebrating your milestone birthday with your closest friends here with Duval Leroy Brut, Champagne.

You can end the night with Grand Hyatt Manila’s signature Chocolate Florentine Cake.

 

Final Thoughts

Congratulations to Grand Hyatt Manila for the awesome The Peak roof deck penthouse dining concept!

Best to hang out here with your loved ones from sunset until midnight, starting with cocktails, followed by a steak dinner, then entertainment in the music lounge before the wind-down at the whiskey bar.

The quality of the food and the wine are quite good but we have to go back to have a proper dinner at The Peak Grill.
