Feasting on Cold Cuts, Cheese and Sausages at Le Gourmet

I was introduced by a friend to Le Gourmet at Shop Wise - Harrison Plaza (back of De La Salle University, Manila). The eating place is right inside the Shop Wise Supermart, beside the bread section.

The place is an innovative mix of "turo-turo" (point to what you like) and sit-down meal. Costumers are asked to order the cold cut of choice (offered at Le Gourmet), sold at a minimum of 100 grams per order. And they do have a wide array of cold cuts - from the simple (and cheap) to the more exquisite (and pricey).

The bread, drinks, spreads, and other food items - which are available in the supermart - can be purchase alongside the cold cuts. - meaning, you can pay for these items at the cashier of Le Gourmet. If you wish, you can even order veggies and mayonnaise. The staff will heat the bread and slice the cold cuts for you, serve these in a platter, and voila you have an instant stomach-filling merienda (snacks)

I brought my family at Le Gourmet when we were in the vicinity of Harrison Plaza. We ordered 100 gms each of sweet ham, hungarian sausage, meat loaf and cheese, bread (breakfast rolls), three bottled drinks and 2 cups of brewed coffee. Five of us shared the meal (total cost about P300.00 or P60 per person). My son, Geof enjoyed the cold cuts so we ordered more for take-out. Apple plans to buy the sweet ham here for Christmas.

With this kind of service at Le Gourmet, you can taste different kinds of cold cuts and cheese - Hungarian, Austrian, German etc - without spending too much. By the way, you can also "make your own sandwich." The staff will prepare your sandwich, according to what you want to put inside, and you only pay for the exact amount of items you take.

At Le Gourmet, you can enjoy good quality cold cuts and bread at a very reasonable price. (Seating capacity is limited, though). I hope there are also Le Gourmet in other Shop Wise branches.
