LOCATED on the streets of Guadalupe is a restaurant that, from the outside, looks like the usual food joint in the city. As soon as one sees its interiors, though, he will find that it is anything but.
Taking its patrons back to the Middle Ages is The Thray, a restaurant fashioned like taverns or inns one sees in films set in the medieval times.
Opened last June, it’s owned by the Palo family. There, patrons can experience what it’s like to dine like the menfolk back in those days from its utensils served by squires in cloaks, while surrounded by fixtures that remind them of such period.
To add to the whole thematic dining experience, the 30-seater place also contains collectibles from “Lord of the Rings” and “Game of Thrones” from the family’s collection. Even the names of some of its food and drinks were inspired by “World of Warcraft.” Look forward to Gimli’s axe mounted on the wall, the sword of Thorin Oakenshield or the sword of the Nazgûl.
When it comes to its dishes, it specializes in steaks and seafood like its grilled USDA ribeye beef steak called The Keep’s Steak, grilled fish of the day called The Squire’s Dish and its pork steak called The Berserker’s Steak.
Diners can also enjoy its two kinds of boodle fight set up both complete with grilled corn, rice and seafood like crabs, mussels, shrimps and clams drenched in spicy herbed lemon butter sauce: The Thrayul Boodle that comes with grilled beef steak, and The Banshee Boodle with grilled pork belly.
Pair it with its bestselling drink, the Anti-Mage iced tea, and dessert choices such as the Elven Brownie and Hobgoblin Delight.
The Thray is open daily from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 to 9:30 p.m. and situated at the Grove building, 2211 V. Rama Ave., Guadalupe, Cebu City.
