Baker J

If you’re missing traveling and the joys of exploring the finest culinary offers of international destinations, look no further than Baker J.

Baker J brings the best and the fullest of the French culinary experience with the opening of the restaurant in Alabang and now, straight to your home or office.

Aside from their baked goods featuring classique and nouveau French offers, Baker J also boasts of an extensive menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Inspired by the restaurant’s philosophy, the J in Baker J stands for “Je suis”, which means “I am” in French. The menu reflects the diners’ cravings and moods, like Je Suis Comblé (I Am Satisfied) for the French main dishes, and Je Suis Reveillé (I Am Awake) for the gourmet breakfast selections.

“At Baker J, we take pride of the French culinary experience — from sourcing the ingredients to the way the food is being prepared and served to the culinary artwork of our French chef Nicolas Pasdeloup to the different types of cheeses and wines used in cooking. Everything else is taken in at its highest level,” Mr. Montenegro explains.

Opening as early as 6:00 a.m., one can start the day right with Baker J’s all-day breakfast menu such as Eggs Benedict, which you could enjoy with sautéed spinach (Eggs Florentine) or with smoked salmon (Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict); tangy and savory Shakshuka, which is a meaty iteration featuring our house-made Spicy Beef & Lamb Sausages; and of course, the French pastries that Chef Nicolas and his team has perfected: crisp and flaky Croissant, Pain Au Chocolat, and more.

Some of the must-tries from the menu is Chef Nicolas’ take on the classic French dish Coq Au Vin from Burgundy, which beautifully showcases the exceptional wines of the famous wine region; rich yet light Quiche Lorraine from the region of the same name; Baker J’s signature Confit de Canard made with duck confit croquettes and served with green lentils and mizuna leaves in balsamic vinaigrette; the healthy but satisfying Pan-Seared Salmon Steak with Ratatouille; and the ever-favorite French breakfast Tartines, which includes the Salmon Tartine with Avocado and Goat’s Cheese and the brunch-perfect traditional Croque Monsieur with Grùyere.

To wash down all the delectable food, you may choose from a wide range of Baker J signature beverages — from refreshing detox options to cold brews.

At the helm of Baker J is Crimson Hotel Filinvest City’s Executive Pastry Chef, Nicolas Pasdeloup. Born and raised in Paris, Chef Nicolas has studied and lived the heart and soul of French cuisine. Graduating from the prestigious École de Paris des Métiers de la Table, he worked in various capacities in some of the finest and largest hotels and restaurants in France, Saudi Arabia, Norway, Egypt, China, and around Asia. He also established and grew his own catering business for a decade before going back to the corporate world.
