Unfortunately, the function room in my condo is booked. Only option for us is to find a restaurant in Makati which do not charge Corkage Fee. I was surprised that some restos would charge as high as Php 750 per bottle! ... I persevered and finally found Pepato in Greenbelt 2!
Why you should try Pepato (GB2)?
- they waived the Corkage Fee for 2 bottles of wine
- the staff were friendly
- the waiters didn't rush us when we were taking a long time to decide what to order
- prices of the food are reasonable (they have "tasting" size and regular size) ... we only paid around Php 550 per head
- the food is great - i especially love the pastas and salads
- ambiance is perfect for business dinner
Just to give an idea, here is a list of how much is the Corkage Fee on other Restaurants :
- Elbert's Steak Room (Sagittarius Bldg HV dela Costa) : free up to 3 bottles
- Mezzaluna (the fort) : Php 450 per bottle (normally can be waived for 1 bottle)
- L'opera (the fort) : Php 600 per bottle
- Chateau 1771 (GB5) : Php 300 per bottle
- Carpaccio (Yakal St) : Php 700 per bottle
- L'Incontro (Reposo) : Php 300 per bottle
- Aubergine (the fort) : Php 750 per bottle
... Elbert's Steak Room and Mezzaluna would have also been good choices except that their food are quite pricey ... unfortunately, due to the cost cutting measures, we would have a difficult time if we'd reimburse an exorbitant amount for a Team Dinner :)
