Handout</div>The City of Stars is surely embellished with dining destinations that take pride in their menu offerings, aesthetics, and gimmicks.For diners whose tastes seek not just a culinary extravaganza but also an experience that can be seen with the eyes and touched with the hands, options abound.Set along Quezon Avenue, an unlikely stretch for fine dining, The Grand Hausse by fashionista Micah Shi greets guests with an interior steeped in high fashion — designer furniture, sculptural lighting, stylish tableware and fashion elements such as garments, curtains and magazines.Dining at The Grand Hausse, according to Shi, is like stepping into a high fashion movie that is full of textures and colors.“Since the label itself is ‘grand,’ we must live up to it. The idea was to truly bring grandeur to Quezon City, where guests&#x27; eyes could be fed by stylish objects that surrounded them while they dined. Aside from the fact that we do sell clothing on the ground floor of the restaurant,” Shi told ABS-CBN News.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766017716665image1 (2).jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766017750264image3.jpeg" style="width:960px;display:block;height:auto" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Luxurious and stylish interiors greet guests. Handout</div>Luxurious tables and chairs, soft lighting, elegant focal points, and curated corners combine to create a space that&#x27;s both Instagrammable and deeply comfy.“It&#x27;s glam yet not stiff — elegant but homey,” she said.For Shi, fashion goes beyond appearance. Her creative approach transforms each collection into a form of self-discovery and authentic expression, celebrating life through bold, maximalist designs and vibrant colors that encourage confidence and liberation from external validation.Drawing from her fashion-forward imagination, the owner curated a menu of over-the-top dishes presented with the flair of a runway — where food takes center stage.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766017795587image5.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Handout<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766017817124image7.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Handout</div>Five-star lechon croquettas, ribeye wealthy tray, pistachio kare-kare, mystic handkerchief pasta, divine mushroom ravioli, cosmic pistachio carbonara, and fiery aligue lobster bisque pasta are among the star dishes. They also serve creative beverages with names such as &quot;Clarity Tastes Better Than Him,&quot; &quot;Love Me or Exit,&quot; and &quot;Healed: Not To Be Tested.&quot;They&#x27;ve developed a cult following for their &quot;designer&quot; pastas, which feature rich sauces simmered for hours, noodles cooked to perfection, and one-of-a-kind ingredients piled like a fashion piece.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766017860847image8.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Handout</div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766017874728image10.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Handout</div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766017893185image11.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Handout</div>Between courses, diners can browse a carefully curated selection of apparel — from elevated basics to statement classics — turning the space into both a retail experience and a dining destination. It’s a lifestyle concept that feels current and thoughtfully executed.<div> </div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766017906666image13.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Handout</div>When asked about her inspiration for combining fashion and food, Shi told ABS-CBN News, “My profound desire to create something truly transformative — something that leaves a lasting impact not only visually but also emotionally — led me to the unusual concept of combining fashion, art, and cuisine in one store. I&#x27;ve always thought that art, in all of its forms, has the ability to uplift and inspire the spirit, and my vision was to create a space where guests could not only wear but also taste fashion.”She added, “I wanted to create something absolutely original and intriguing, something no other brand has done before, while also communicating the brand&#x27;s concept.”<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1766017926184image14.jpeg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Micah Shi talks about fashion and food. Handout</div>While The Grand Hausse appears to be highly intriguing to new diners and outsiders, Shi believes it communicates a message that anybody can unveil their inner grandness, daring to be brave without fear of being judged.“Go big, be bold, and show the other part of yourself. There&#x27;s nothing wrong with being over the top,” she ended.

Luxurious tables and chairs, soft lighting, elegant focal points, and curated corners combine to create a space that's both Instagrammable and deeply comfy.
