Closed Door Sessions

A Live Recording Session

Capo Manila PH recently debuted a Closed Door event last Saturday, May 14 at Lemmy's Bistro.

This was a unique show featuring a few of the best local bands in the indie music community.

Capo MNL is a budding music production venturing on putting up atypical music events around Metro Manila, Philippines featuring uprising OPM artists. Apart from the artists being involved in the music scene with a live audience, Capo MNL brings the storytelling process to social media platforms for greater reach through live recordings of the performances of these ultimately talented OPM artists.

A storyteller's medium is what Capo MNL aims to continuously be. With the intimate setup concept perfectly fit for the artists' stories they share through music, and the overwhelming respect from the audience - regardless of generation, genre and social differences - to the musicality and creativity each performance exhibits, Capo MNL is envisioning a music industry that is a safe space to express, be listened to, and be appreciated.

Aligned with Capo MNL's advocacy to provide a platform for musicality, creativity and artist-audience rapport, it is their mission to feature uprising OPM artists in a series of intimately curated events where the audience could take a seat, indulge in the homey atmosphere, engage in the storytelling, and acknowledge the unique sound there is from each performing artist.

Artists featured during the Closed Door Sessions.

Be updated with the latest recordings through their YouTube Channel.

Capo MNL and Lemmy's Bistro will be working closely together in bringing good music and good community for everyone. We look forward to be the home of the rising stars in the country.

Raclette Party at Lemmy's Bistro

A Night filled with Cheese, Wine and Good Company

The Raclette Party was hosted by Lemmy's Bistro in collaboration with The French Corner PH, a group created for French Food Enthusiasts and Explorers. The event was held on May 15 and was attended by a mix of good friends, locally and from the expat community.

Raclette is a semi-hard cheese produced in the French and Swiss Alps. Traditionally they are called, Valais Raclette or Fromage. The name Raclette comes from the French word 'racler', which means 'to scrape'. The cheese has a thin, brownish-orange rind and a pale yellow pate with a few scattered open holes. It has a distinctive pleasant, aromatic smell with a creamy texture, which do not separate even when melted. (Definition from www.cheese.com)

The cheese is melted using a machine that comes in several forms. For this event, we used 2 different types. For the half-wheel cheese, we used a heavy duty machine that holds the whole block of cheese under a large heating rod. When the top layer of the cheese starts to look creamy and almost toasted, we used a spatula to scrape it off into a plate filled with a colorful selection of side dishes and greens.

The other machine is the called the spatula party set that comes with a plate on top that serves as a griller for the veggies and other sides. For this type of griller, we had to slice the raclette into thin pieces so that it fits into the spatula to be set under the heating rod until melted. When ready, the spatula is taken out of the heat and let the cheese slide into the serving plate.

This party is one of our favorites because it didn't require too much effort on cooking and hosting. All we needed was a shop that sells all of our food selection, a great staff to help with the food presentations, the perfect wine selection and the right crowd to invite.

Check out this short clip for a glimpse of how the night looked like.

On behalf of Lemmy's Bistro and The French Corner, we would like to thank everyone for attending this special event. We hope that you enjoyed the evening as much as we did.

So, go ahead and host your own party!

We are always available on Facebook, and Instagram.

Wine Night at Lemmy's Bistro

Food Pairing and Over-flowing Wine Night

If you knew us personally, you would know that Lemmy's Bistro is very well into anything involving wine. Hence, one of the first events held at the bistro is a wine pairing event in collaboration with Le Cellier French Wine Selections. This event featured Lemmy's Bistro's menu paired with our Wine Lady's choice of French wines including Costières de Nîmes and Vin de Pays d’Oc – P. Ferraud & Fils.

Lemmy's Bistro represents a Celt Region called Brittany in France where crepes originated from and is known for. Therefore for this event, we have showcased our very own version of the mushroom crepes as the main course for the day. Along with it is our version of the Croquetas de Hamon, farm-to-table Salad Nicoise, and a cheese plate as the event ender.

The special event was attended by wine lovers from all over the world making it consistent to Lemmy's mission to be a friendly place for social gatherings. We are very honored to have been a host for such event and we are looking forward to more special events from here.

We thank everyone for attending this fun-filled wine event. See you all again at Lemmy's Bistro.
