When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went.

French Baker in the Philippines


When you lived in the Philippines for a long time you start missing the bagels back home my sister use to bring us bagels when she had visited us. Now I had discovered places that do sell bagels but the texture is not the same back home. There is nowhere to compare the difference since the taste is almost the same.

Flavors available are Cinnamon Raisin or Plain from French Baker you can purchase them online.




They also carry other bread in which we had missed for example sour dough 


In case you are a raisin bread lover they also have it at French Baker



The one I love eating the most is the soup of the day that comes with bread bowl and it look like this




It is best to ask and call to see what soup they are serving the day you plan to visit or when you have it delivered to your location.

Loaf of bread sold in their store choose from the following:

Whole Wheat Half Loaf


Whole Grain Bread 


Flat Ciabatta


Ciabatta Rolls


We will not run out of bread every time we feel like making our sandwiches at our home.

Note:

I am not selling or advertising for French Baker.
