Chef Tonyboy Escalante, the mastermind behind the illustrious Antonio’s Group of Restaurants, has always held a torch for breakfast. “I’ve always considered breakfast as the most important meal of the day,” he calls it. For nearly two decades, dedicated food enthusiasts have journeyed to Tagaytay, drawn by the cozy, casual allure of Breakfast at Antonio’s.
While calls for a city-based outlet were loud and clear, Chef Tonyboy had yet to find the perfect spot. “Sure, there have been urgings and discussions to have another outlet closer to the city, but somehow, I couldn’t really pin down where,” shares Chef Tonyboy. That is, until Robinsons Magnolia – one of Metro Manila’s premier shopping destinations – presented him with an offer he simply couldn’t resist.
This May, Chef Tonyboy and his team are happily answering the call to bring the experience to Manila, as the launch of Breakfast at Antonio’s in Robinsons Magnolia is really happening. “We are eternally grateful to Robinsons Mall’s management for giving us this once in a lifetime partnership that allows us to bring the ‘Antonio’s Experience’ to Metro Manila.”
For those who have been craving to savor Breakfast at Antonio’s signature dishes – such as Twice-Cooked Adobo, Housemade Longganisa, Classic Pancakes, Grilled Ensaymada, Roast Beef and Monte Cristo sandwiches, and more – the new Robinsons Magnolia outlet provides a delectable alternative to the beloved Tagaytay location.
The new restaurant, nestled within the serene Central Garden of Robinsons Magnolia, will be housed in a standalone bungalow-type structure with Filipino-Spanish design elements that encapsulates the essence of Antonio’s brand. Along with the acclaimed service that the restaurants, including the flagship Antonio’s, Breakfast at Antonio’s, and Balay Dako, are known for, guests can expect the same elevated sensory experience at the Tagaytay location.
The doors of Breakfast at Antonio’s at Robinsons Magnolia will swing open seven days a week from as early as 7 a.m., offering both indoor and al fresco seating. While the classic favorites from the Tagaytay menu will be available, the culinary team is also stirring up some comforting new additions. The menu will feature Arroz Caldo with an array of condiments, and servings of nourishing Taho from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Plus, global breakfast dishes like Eggs Royale, Turkish Eggs, Shakshuka, Chorizo Scrambled Eggs, soft Boiled Eggs with brioche fingers and Egg Cocotte,and more will make their appearance.
A journey to Breakfast at Antonio’s wouldn’t be complete without a little takeaway. Pedro the Grocer, a venture started by Chef Tonyboy and his eldest son, Basti Escalante, will offer a corner of deli meats, sourdough breads, croissants, baguettes, artisan pastries and more baked goods, fruit jams, and other delightful treats, encapsulating the Tagaytay experience in the heart of Manila.
