Chefs Du Partie at Rockwell
Chefs Du Partie or CDP is a partner restaurant of its neighbor Mamou. They seem to have a
Parisienne concept going on.
They
have a nice selection of appetizers including salad, soups and cheese. They
have some meat available but if you’re looking for steak, they only have Angus Frites
available.
We
ordered my favorite French Onion Soup(Php295).

| French Onion Soup |
I
felt that the cheese was a little burnt and the bread was soaked already. Other
than that it was fine. (Bizu still wins in my tastiest French Onion Soups list).
 |
| Duck Confit |
The
Duck Confit(Php880) was okay. The paella was tasty but the duck leg was a little hard
and dry.
 |
| Short Rib Poutine |
The
Short Rib Poutine(Php990). The meat was really soft. Eat it with the cheese to make it
more tasty.
 |
| The Triade |
For
dessert, we had the Triade(Php455) which was what the waiter recommended. The concept was eating
it from light to dark (panna cotta first, then salted caramel, then the
pudding) but feel free to eat it however you want to. I personally liked the
chocolate pudding the most.

When
the waiter asked us about our food, I just casually said I felt that the onion
soup was a little burnt but other than that everything is fine. I looked at his face and I felt like I said something taboo.
He said he’ll
bring it up with the manager, but we said there was no need. It was a mere
comment. A few moments later the manager came with a panicked look on her face and asked us about our food again. I said the same thing I said to the waiter and she apologized and her panicked face became even more panicked. (I was getting a bit embarrassed at this point. Maybe I should have just kept
my mouth shut). She offered free salad, but we declined and said it was really
okay.
I thought it was over but BAM! A wild owner suddenly appeared!(No she
wasn’t wild. That’s a reference to how pokemons suddenly appear out of
nowhere). She approached us and asked about the food again. We just said the
same thing to her again. Then to our surprise, she took the French Onion Soup off our tab! Woot woot! (At this point, im
thinking, maybe we should’ve accepted the salad too. Hehe *greedy face*).

It
is a really small place, maybe just enough to fit 50 people at most. When we
went there, there were only a few tables occupied but I can imagine the place
filled up on weekends.
OVERALL: (1-5)
I
would give them a ~4~ just because of their great customer service. The food we
had was so-so. It was a little expensive too. A dish will cost at least Php400
or more and the serving is really small. Kudos to their staff though. They were
really attentive and knowledgeable about their menu. The ambiance is perfect for a nice date too.
