Paseo de Bahamas

   Located at the ground floor of the new Midtown wing of Robinsons Place, Paseo de Bahamas is a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy good food.

   Spanakopitta. Spinach and feta cheese in filo pastry. Filo pastry is paper-thin translucent sheets of pastry commonly used in Greek, Eastern European and Middle Eastern cuisines. It is delicious by itself but I’m not really fond of eating dry things. A dip should probably make it more enjoyable. I suggest salsa, my favorite.

   Sole fillet parmigiana. Parmesan crusted sole fillet with fetuccine pomodoro. I now know that soles are flatfishes of various families. That’s what I call educational eating. I could not and would not believe that the crust is parmesan. It tastes like simple batter. The parmigiana could do better without it because it only made the fish makunat. I could not decipher what the yellow sauce was. 

   Pasta marinara. Instead of the usual mussels, squid rings and shrimps on marinara pasta, we found bits of salmon, shrimps, and squid. Bits. Only your tastebuds can recognize them. Pleasant surprise though. You can skip the bread. They are soggy anyway. The serving size is not meant for sharing unless you eat like a bird. 

   Iced tea that is wanting in flavor. My guyabano juice that captures the flavor of real guyabano. 

   The staff are friendly and the ambience is good. A bit of advice though. Do not go to this place starving or all hell will break loose. Only four tables were occupied including ours but service is painfully slow.  

   The food are reasonably priced so recommending the place is easy.  It also has free WiFi.
