Our orders were pretty much their best sellers. Overall, food at SAUTE seem to be a modern fusion of Thai/Asian delicacies. Right amount of spice and tangy-ness on dishes. We enjoyed mostly everything. Couple of cons though, small servings on some dishes, they still do not accept credit cards and not as kid friendly (due to the lack of high chair) for families who'd want to dine with their toddlers.

Overall Satisfaction: 4/5
Promoter score: 9/10

Below is the list of food we've tasted and what we think about it.

Mixed Greens with Mango Dressing - PHP150

My least favorite from our orders. I love salads. There's just something about the dressing of this salad that we cannot seem to place. The wasabi tasting after taste perhaps? Serving was also pretty small - not ideal for sharing.

Tinapa Fish Cake - PHP185

One of their best sellers. Served in 3 patty looking fish cakes with mayonnaise and bagoong and shredded veggies on top. It is very unique tasting, a stand out.




Asian Shrimp Pasta - PHP250

I enjoyed this pasta dish though I don't think everyone else did. Pasta lovers would definitely appreciate the flavors and uniqueness of this dish.

Lemon Grass Squid - PHP399

Definitely a favorite though a little price for 1 fairly big squid. I think this is one of their best selling signature dish in the menu.

Crispy Pork Leg w/ Homemade Liver Sauce - PHP615

The homemade liver sauce used to have a different hard to pronounce name. But I guess they changed it and settled for something more remember-able. This dish a.k.a Crispy Pata is one of the better tasting Crispy Pata I've ever tried. It was perfectly soft and crispy and the flavors are right in to the meat. Really good piece of meat but may be a little expensive if you'd be dining for just 2.

Saute Fried Rice - PHP195

Their take on fried rice topped with scrambled egg. It was normal rice for an average rice eating pinoy. :)


All pics taken from Zomato.com. Pictures from Zomato and actual presentation has a significant difference. For my own pics, taken when we dined in, see links in the dish names. Apologies for the low quality pictures, I was tending to a toddler while dining and taking a couple of shots. :)
