    The wine list features a wide range of prices, from wines by the glass (Php 350 to Php 500) to bottles (Php 1,200 to Php 107,000), with bottle keep service available.

    As for their main dishes, Dr. Wine invites you to try three dishes that will surely make a mark when dining in. First, sample Dr. Wine’s Confit de Cuisse de Canard, a French classic, featuring tender duck leg slow-cooked in its own fat to create a rich, savory meat with perfectly crispy golden skin.

    It is served with pommes anna and porcini mushroom sauce, making it a standout dish that is highly recommended for anyone visiting Dr. Wine.

    Next, you may also indulge in Dr. Wine’s Agneau 7 Heures, featuring lamb shoulder slow-cooked for seven hours, resulting in tender, flavorful meat.

    It is served atop a bed of sweet potato purée, French beans, garlic confit, and a touch of lemon zest. The extended cooking time allows the lamb’s flavor to meld beautifully with the wine and herbs, creating a rich, aromatic gravy that enhances the overall dish.
