tymad bistro

this is an authentic french restaurant which also sale homemade pastry. it definitively my favorite french restaurant in cebu.  you can also go there for a pastry a coffee , or a glass of  house wine?

the huge plates made it difficult for us to fit all of our orders on the table,we forcibly had to consume our appetizers to have space for our main dish. but overall the food was great,champagne was good and the envt very comfortable indeed

ambience:: 3.5/5 place is well light and able to accommodate a fair amount of customers. there is an al fresco or inside dining, whichever suits you.

food & food presentation:: 5/5 where to begin? if you love french food, almost everything here will delight your palate. my favourites - (1) escargot! absolutely fantabulous!! (2) apple tatin, this is heavenly! (3) saint jacques provencale. plate presentation is clean, pleasing to the eyes. not too elaborate but enough to make your mouth water just in the right amount.

service & staff:: 4/5 service is good and fast and attentiveness to detail is there. there aren't a lot of tables to look after which is good means your service is more personalized. the chef is the owner and every so often he will come out and personally ask customers how the food is. he also will take your order if the kitchen is not that busy :) (simple & humble - a good combination).

value for money:: 4/5 absolutely worth every penny!

excellent service.

menu is well thought of and several to choose from from meals to desserts.

very friendly staff and management.
silent and orderly environment.
good for formal hangouts.

price is slightly expensive but is indeed worth it.

nice small place so cosy, parking is ok. foods ok but i expected better. bistro steak was over cooked and marinated with too much spices - can’t taste the beef. escargot was drenched with butter and blunt taste. i enjoyed the smoke salmon salad thought. cordon bleu crepe had lots of cheese which is good but also blunt. i’ll be back for the pastry, as they are all very appealing. overall dining is good as the place has good air conditioning.

service here is the worst. we were the only ones dining yet all the waiters were talking in one corner. it was hard just to call their attention. all the icecream are freezer burned and they taste like ice.

this is the answer to my insatiable craving for french food. they capture the flavours of french cuisine and serves those with only the best wine selection. i ordered their escargot de bourgogne and tymad smoked salmon. what won me over were their cakes. the best cakes in cebu. i tried their copper sphere. it has the smoothest, richest, melts in your mouth swiss chocolate on a bed of crisp peanut and chocolate feuillitine. it's dessert that looks like zumbo's creations. for those who know me, you know how i have an unpopular opinion on chocolate. i am not a fan! but this, i would go against my own taste to have this anytime. i also had their strawberry shortcake (not in photo). it had a light vanilla sponge with mascarpone cream. what won me over were the big pieces of strawberry. they may have placed half a dozen in it, gave the acidic punch and freshness on the plate.

the best french restaurant in cebu. definitely a must go place for people who can appreciate excellent, high quality food. tymad also has some of the yummiest desserts that can send any sweet tooth to heaven on earth.

if you really want the best croissants then tymad bistro is where you will get it. not only do they have delicious pastries but their food is also yummy. their crepes are the bomb along with their pasta and salads. plus the owner is the nicest guy ever. he always makes you feel at home. great place for good food whether it’s dinner or dessert or both! :)

tymad bistro is a pricey restaurant for a frugal person like myself, but it's worth spending a little extra money on!

i'm just so glad we found this place! we went here 2 nights in a row!

i haven't tried a lot of desserts in cebu but i already want to say that this is the best! just because i haven't had such delicious cakes that are also very affordable in the philippines.

i'm not a big fan of sweets but i couldn't stop ordering and trying more of their cakes. every cake has its own character in terms of taste and texture.

we also loved their crepes! am sure we'll love their other menu items if we had more time to try them out.

this is the place i will always come back to when i visit cebu.

awesome job to the owner and chef, and staff!

ambiance is nice, went there around 4pm, not too crowded, people do come in and out, waiters are attentive and courteous, it was a quiet time to relax and enjoy their food.
the croissant was super nice, i had it heated in the oven and you can eat it as it is, value for money--ok.
also had their vanilla strawberry cheesecake, the cheesecake itself was heavenly but what i loved the most was the crust, crunchy, chewy, perfect blend to the thick cheese cake, the blueberry puree (i think) on the side complimented the cheesecake, value for money--worth. it.
ordered crepe royal, you'd think it's just a crepe and you won't get full, but i think their serving size is good for sharing, the size as big as the plate, they didn't scrimp on the ingredients, good food. value for money--👍

this restaurant serves french & other international cuisine over fine wine & coffee. what i like this place because it is fine dining & they serve different cakes & pastries which i appreciated their different cheesecakes. i feel their cheesecake is their trademark & edge among other cheesecake shops. really love the level of sweetness & texture of their blueberry cheesecake!😊 bring in your partner over dinner or friends on a quick chill over coffee & cakes and definitely you will have a good time.😉

never really tried the food but the desserts are the best! 😍 their chocolate cakes are just to die for and among rest there speciality. among other things you should taste their desserts and there assorted crepes.

this is one of my fave places in cebu for a hearty breakfast and coffee. attentive staff, delicious menu thats artfully arranged. a gustatory feast for the eyes and tummy. bon appetit! :)
