Florentine in Grand Hyatt Manila: Offering European Delights On-the-Go
Grand Hyatt Manila is home to diverse food and beverage places—it has something for almost all types of food you may crave. The Grand Kitchen, for example, is the all-day dining venue of the hotel while The Cellar is the place for wine, cocktails, and small plates and tapas.
You don’t need to go far if you’re looking for an on-the-go place for coffee and pastry, too! Located at the lobby of the hotel beside The Grand Kitchen is Florentine, a patisserie outlet for European-inspired pastries, specially-crafted coffee, and deli food.

True to its name, Florentine’s signature offering is the Florentine cookies. Florentines are not like your ordinary cookies. Instead of flour and eggs, these are made with nuts and candied fruits, giving the cookies a unique texture and flavor.

To complement your pastry of choice, order their special coffee blends cultivated from Benguet like the Itogon Coffee and the Grand Hyatt Bloom Coffee with a blend of La Trinidad Benguet Coffee.
