From reflection to celebration: Lent and Easter at Newport World Resorts

Black Truffle & Seafood Noodles at Happy 8, Thai-Style Fried Pompano at Silk Road, and XO Clam Udon at Victoria Harbour Café, Newport World Resorts

As the season moves from the quiet observance of Lent to the joyful arrival of Easter, Newport World Resorts, the Philippines’ premier leisure and lifestyle destination, invites guests to mark both occasions at its table. Across its five international hotel brands and restaurants, a thoughtfully assembled collection of dining experiences and festive celebrations offers something for every guest—from mindful Lenten meals to lively Easter Sunday festivities for the whole family.

Lenten table
Six restaurants across the property—Happy 8, Ginzadon, Victoria Harbour Café, Silk Road, the Greatroom at Holiday Inn Express Manila Newport World Resorts, and Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill Philippines—present seafood offerings thoughtfully suited for a season that calls for more mindful dining. Across the first five, Lenten selections are available until April 30, while Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill Philippines extends the experience through seafood dishes featured in its 48-Minute Lunch Express Menu. Lent holds a distinct place in Filipino culture, drawing attention to reflection and the shared experience of a meal prepared with care, where seafood, long woven into the fabric of Lenten observance, is enjoyed together across the table.

Located on the third floor of the Garden Wing at Newport World Resorts, Happy 8, known for its Cantonese culinary heritage, serves the Black Truffle & Seafood Noodles, where glass noodles and assorted seafood are wok-fried in a rich black truffle sauce.

For guests looking to mark the season with something distinctly refined, Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill Philippines presents its 48-Minute Lunch Express Menu—a curated selection of modern British cuisine available Mondays to Fridays from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

The broader menu also features lighter starters such as the Crispy Crab Cake & Caviar and the Watermelon Salad, alongside a selection of hearty mains and desserts including the Salted Peanut Butter Mousse and Homemade Cannoli.
