Just steps from crystalline waters and hidden within a lush tropical garden, The Bistro at Discovery Samal offers a refined retreat for those who seek both serenity and sumptuous flavor. Perched beside a tranquil villa pool, this new dining destination marries island ease with global sophistication, where every plate is an invitation to slow down, savor, and delight in the moment.
A Symphony of Flavors, Elevated
The Bistro’s menu unfolds like a curated art exhibition—each dish thoughtfully composed, each ingredient chosen for its provenance and personality. Begin with delicate artisanship in the form of USDA Prime Beef Carpaccio or scallops crowned with a golden cheese gratin. From there, venture into pasta theatrics with tableside cheese wheel carbonara or a luscious Portobello and cream-cheese lasagna that feels both familiar and entirely new.
A Feast for Every Craving
Whether your appetite calls for land or sea, The Bistro answers in grand style:
Taste of Italy Classic Cheese Wheel Carbonara, Cream Cheese & Portobello Lasagna
Gourmet Plates Surf & Turf: Lobster Tail Thermidor paired with USDA Prime Tenderloin From the Sea: Atlantic Salmon Fillet, Pacific Cod Loin Beyond Beef: Sous Vide Pork Chop, Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb, Herb & Feta Chicken Roulade
Curated Meats A global selection of chef-grilled steaks and slow-roasted specialties, each cut designed to showcase peak flavor
Desserts & Decadence
Conclude your culinary journey with a flourish. Indulge in Rose Water Chocolate Mousse or the theatrical Flaming Baked Alaska, and don’t miss the Malagos Chocolate Lava Cake or the timeless Crepe Suzette. These sweet finales are crafted to be as memorable as the sunset glimpsed through palm fronds.
The Perfect Pour
No dish stands alone—The Bistro’s wine list traverses Old World elegance and New World vibrance. Sip a chilled Moët & Chandon Brut to awaken the palate or explore the rich fruit layers of a Cuvee La Migoua Bandol Grenache. Each glass is selected to complement the menu’s artful balance of textures and tastes.
