The flavors of Switzerland

Swiss Ambassador Andrea Reichlin was the guest of honor at a dinner celebrating all things Swiss at Marco Polo Ortigas Manila.

Cocktails at the Connect Lounge preceded the wine dinner held at Cucina, Marco Polo Ortigas Manila’s refined and fashionable all-day restaurant located on the 24th floor.

Marco Polo Ortigas Manila general manager Frank Reichenbach welcomed the Swiss ambassador and her diplomats to the dinner that featured a special four-course set menu highlighting the flavors of Switzerland.

Guests were in a jovial mood against a backdrop of a splendid spread of authentic Swiss cuisine and spirits.
