Vanderlust Bistro + Patisserie<\/strong><\/span> is a hidden pastry shop and restaurant in Tomas Morato<\/a> serving up unique European pastries and dishes inspired from the owners’ honeymoon in Europe. Taking their inspiration from three countries they visited (Germany, Italy, and Spain)<\/strong> they’ve created an immersive European dining experience for Filipinos to enjoy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fun Fact:<\/strong> The \u201cV\u201d in Vanderlust stands for Valerie<\/strong> and \u201cA\u201d stands for Anthony<\/strong>, the names of the owners. Vanderlust is also how Germans would pronounce Wanderlust<\/strong>.<\/pre>\n

<\/p>\n
With their three signature pastries each taking inspiration from a stop in their honeymoon<\/strong>, below is their dessert roster that takes inspiration from Germany, Italy, and Spain.<\/p>\n
Schneeballen<\/h2>\n
Their signature pastry, and one you have to work for to enjoy. From their honeymoon stop in Germany<\/strong>, their Schneeball takes inspiration from the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber where the pastry is served as a specialty. Recommended flavors include the Peanut Butter Ball<\/strong>, Hazelnut Kiss<\/strong>, and Strawberry & Cream<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Insider tip:<\/strong> Make sure you're physically ready for this dessert! The schneeball\u00a0requires you to smash it<\/strong> with a hammer to break it into bite sized pieces!<\/pre>\n

Italian Cannoli<\/h2>\n
Representing the Italian leg of their honeymoon<\/strong>, these pockets of sweetness are inspired from the owners’ trip to the region of Sicily. Stuffed with an assortment of fillings and decorations, recommended flavors include Earl Gray<\/strong>, Lemon<\/strong>, and\u00a0Chocolate Pistachio.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Fun fact:<\/strong> Cannolo, its singular form, means \"little tube\"<\/strong>.<\/pre>\n

Pastas<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Continuing the European motif, their pastas are influenced from many different nations in the region. Below are some of the dishes\u00a0we recommend.<\/p>\n
Cacio E Pepe Mushroom Truffle<\/h3>\n
An Italian pasta dish, which means Cheese and Pepper, this variety comes in a mushroom truffle sauce that is light and flavorful.<\/p>\n
Insider tip:<\/strong> You can also get your Cacio E Pepe in different flavors such as Basil Chicken<\/strong> and Prawns & Lemon<\/strong>.<\/pre>\n

Mains<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Probably tying with their dessert menu, their main dishes are a definite must-try. The owners took their favorite dishes from their Europe trip and revamped them to fit the Filipino palette<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Butcher’s Steak with Blue Cheese & Potato Gratin<\/h3>\n
7oz in size, this dish got its name because butchers would often keep this delectable cut of meat for themselves rather than offer it for sale. It’s served with a Cabrales inspired condiment – blue cheese butter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Pollo al Funghi sul Riso<\/h3>\n

From calda<\/strong> (hot coffee) to fredda<\/strong> (cold coffee), their drinks are some of the most unique in the neighborhood. Taking European inspirations into every drink, they also serve wines and beers from the region.<\/p>\n
