We went at this place for dinner in a week day. There is only a set menu with 4 dishes + an appetizzer.
You have the choice between 3 starters and 4 main courses.
I have chosen the scallops and the duck  leg. The quality of the food and the different tastes were extremely good. My favorite was the lobster bisque we had between the starter and the main course. The dessert was very fine and not too sweet. This restaurant offers cuisine similar to gourmet restaurants in France. Plan a budget of 5000 pesos per person...

Wonderful fine dining restaurant, with two choices of set menus, attentive and friendly service, and a small and tasteful interior decor.

All of the food was very tasty, and there was an extensive wine list to choose from as well. They also have a sister restaurant in Greenbelt too (Sala Bistro), if you are looking for somewhere more casual, but I would recommend coming here for the full experience.

Thanks to Sala restaurant, we were able to enjoy a perfect year-end dinner. The Carpaccio and octopus we ordered as starters were very fresh and tantalizing. Although we thought the portions were small, it wasn't an issue. The steak was well-cooked and perfectly grilled. The pasta could have been better if the tomato flavor was stronger, but it was still delicious in its own way. The Lavender Crème Brûlée we ordered for dessert was uniquely delightful and provided a pleasant conclusion. The chocolate tart was also delicious.

The staff kept our ordered wine chilled, ensuring we could enjoy it continuously and served it at the right moment. Unlike other restaurants, the service water here had a pleasant citrus fruit aroma.

I highly recommend visiting during the year-end, as the Christmas decorations are very luxurious and beautiful.

A quaint little place near the hustle and bustle of greenbelt. Prices are a little higher compared to the more common places in the area but the quality totally makes up for it. Staff are attentive and professional. Great service from everyone. The foie gras terrine is awesome (make sure you ask for extra bread). The lamb cutlets also fantastic! Pigeon is succulent and not at all dry.

The overall ambience at Sala is intimate and cozy as the restaurant only fits about 40 people. The fitout is modern and tastefully done.
