“To enjoy life, we must touch much of it lightly.” — Voltaire
Celebrating 365 days of joyfully popping champagne bottles, overflowing wines and serving excellent dishes inspired by the French Fashion Food company of France, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon is the country’s upscale dining and lounge haven Society Lounge. It is nestled at the heart of the bustling Makati Central Business District. General manager and chef Patrice Freuslon is at the helm of Society Lounge’s success as it continues to be the destination of choice of the country’s most iconic and influential personalities for various occasions.
In celebration of its first anniversary, a plush gathering was held to honor civic leaders and friends: the affable Catholic Women’s Club (CWC) former president Mimi Valerio, Aficionado and Joel Cruz Signatures president and CEO Joel Cruz, Inner Wheel Club of Manila president Minerva Tanseco, Dr. Vicki Belo of the famous Belo Medical Group, the svelte CPA and Philippine Cancer Society’s Best Dressed awardee Salome Uy and the country’s legendary dance icon and president of Dance Sport Council of the Philippines Becky Garcia.
Each received tokens of appreciation from chef Patrice Freuslon and his team. The heartwarming celebration was capped off with the raffling of artwork by Ivan Acuña and a toast to the next fruitful years of Society Lounge as it continues to become the popular spot for people who celebrate the beauty of everyday life.
Congratulations to chef Patrice Freuslon and his team for a magnificent first year! Cheers to the next anniversaries!
(Society Lounge is located at the ground floor of the Atrium of Makati, Makati Avenue corner Paseo de Roxas, Makati City. For reservations, call 408-1852.)
