I could say I’m one of the first frequent visitor of
Eastwood, way back in year 2000 when building and condominium started sprouting
like mushroom. I saw how the whole Eastwood evolves and became one of the favourite
tamabayan of the people. It also became the spot for BPO offices because of its
accessible site.
I was able to become familiar with the entire
restaurant and hang out places with my kids, since it’s the nearest place to go
from our residence. As the kids started growing, it also means that I’m closing
to my midlife crisis (crisis talaga). Well as I age, I choose the places to go
to and I usually stay away from pub and bars since I’m not an alcohol drinker.
I usually associated pub and bar place with noise and smoke and dark lights and
stools
And then Rue Bourbon comes along, a New
Orleans inspired pub and restaurant located at the EastWood City Walk; you
cannot miss this 2 storey. I found out
that this is the 3rd branch own by Maya (Jodi Sta Maria) of Be
Careful with My Heart and I definitely love her character and I want to get to
know her insights with regards to Rue Bourbon. The place has a Mardi Grass feel,
with cosy couches and lovely chandeliers.
The lighting is just right (Hindi
masakit SA mata and enough to see the faces of the people and your food). The
high stools have cushions and makakarelax ka talaga together with the music
that are being played by acoustic artist.
I was hungry and I was happy that they serve real
food that’s not only good in my eyes but with my tummy as well.
I started with my Clams and Shrimp Chowder ( P160).
The soup is just right, not to liquid and guess what hindi sya puro soup, it
got lots of clamps and shrimps and other ingredients that makes the soup a meal
of its own.
My table mates order some appetizers as well, like
The Bayou ( P 475), it's actually good for four persons so hindi ko masasabi na
sya ay pricey. There's crispy fish, shrimp and onion rings and delicious dips
on the side.
My brother orders a Roast Beef Hash (P350). Its
Angus Beef Belly cooked just right with fried potatoes and buttered vegetables.
The meat is tender plus the potatoes are not soggy. This is one the best seller
in the house; you can have this with rice or with bread.
I got to taste the Spicy Seafood Agli Olio (P390).
The pasta is al dente and the way they cooked it with olive oil and garlic chilli
makes it more appetizing. It’s not oily and I love every bite that I made.
I love nachos and the good thing about Rue Bourbon
is; I got to choose between beef and chicken. Normally when you say Nachos,
that means beef but at Rue Bourbon; they have chicken as well with Barbeque
sauce as topping Rou Nachos cost P450 and it's good for 6 people. A good deal
in my pocket.
Since we are a large crowd, I was able to get a
glimpse of the other dishes and my friends told me that they are satisfied with
the order they had made... I wasn't able to get the all the names of dishes but
tried them anyway.

This is the one that really hold my heart and tummy,
The Baked Fish (P370), the creamy dory with pesto herbs is a sure winner. Even
my table mates love it.

For dessert, you can choose between Bourbon Cheese
Cake ( 195) and Choco Lava ( P255). Both have the sweetness that you will love
after having a sumptuous meal.
As for the drinks, they say you to try their famous
caramel beer (P280)
They also have fruit shake, like this ripe mango
shake (P 130) that I ordered
.
There was also a showcase of different flavour beer
in shots
Try some strawberry mojito (P230) for a change
All in all, I had a wonderful time and didn’t feel
out of place. I will surely recommend this place to women with my age bracket (45
yrs old. Don’t be afraid to try and came inside the Rue Bourbon because there
is more on what you see and hear inside the Rue Bourbon Pub and Restaurant.
