Who doesn't enjoy flying and dining 38,000 feet in the air? Well you can at Air Summit Gourmet in Quezon City (minus the flying part). You can't miss the airplane-themed restaurant as it's an aircraft clearly visible from the road, perched on a hill, almost seeming and yearning to take flight.
Your airline dining experience begins after you park your vehicle. As you enter, you're welcomed into the reservations lounge area where you make your selection from their menu. There were six of us and we ordered fried calamari, baked potato soup, penne arrabbiata, and beef and pork entree. The portions were large enough that we could share. After you've ordered and waited a while, your name is announced on the PA system (just like at an airport) and you're escorted by a flight attendant on board the plane and to your seat.
If you're an AvGeek like me, you're boarding and dining on board a Boeing 737 which is a short to medium range twinjet narrow-body airliner. Having toured Boeing in Seattle, Washington (USA), "If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going!" So, all the more reason to dine at the only airplane restaurant in the Philippines, diba?
Since we were the only ones dining, service was attentive; there were at least 3 or 4 assisting. We forgot how much we ordered because it seemed like the food kept coming. Everything was good and the ambiance was incredible. This is definitely one-of-a-kind in Quezon City. read more
