A Taste of French Dining in Manila: La Mère Poulard Opens in SM Aura - Food & Travel

From puffy omelettes to pan fried jumbo scallops, La Mère Poulard in SM Aura offers comforting French flavors to local palates.

Located in the historic monastery island of Mont Saint-Michel and surrounded by blue skies and seas, the original inn operated by Annette Poulard in 1888 offered a comforting taste of simple French food to weary travelers. Her cooking made use of ingredients local to the region, from butter, fresh eggs and poultry from nearby farms to various seafood. The dishes were served in locally-made copper equiptment. Madame Poulard’s reputation in France and around the world earned her the title “La Mère Poulard”—a title given to the best French female cooks at the time.
