Novotel Manila Araneta Center Executive Chef Massimiliano Pauletto shares his kitchen's all-time favorites allowing loyal customers to bring the Novotel Manila experience home. The Novotel Classic (P 420) is the best way to get acquainted with Take Me Out by Novotel Manila, a hefty burger with two pure and juicy Australian beef patties for that one-two punch of smoky notes from that off-the-grill finish and robust, savory beefy flavors.  

The double cheese burger combo with two Australian prime beef cut patties along with ripe tomatoes, sweet onions and garden fresh and crisp lettuce come together for multiple layers of bold flavors with each bite. The double beef patties deliver a beefy savory richness layered with hints of smokiness from the grill followed by the tart notes of fresh tomatoes, the bite and sweetness of onions and crisp lettuce for that perfect finish. Change the pace with some fries and go for another bite of the The Novotel Classic.

That day, my sumptuous sampler from Take Me Out by Novotel Manila included a pint of Nutty for You, a rich and creamy gelato made with peanut butter. The dense and packed texture of the silky smooth gelato drapes the palate with an indulgent richness and the peanut butter comes through kicked up by chunky chips of Reese's.
