“ Understated and homely place with kind staff. The nicest chicken adobo I have tried with sweet potato. The pork rib soup was also very tasty ”
“ An incredibly authentic and good restaurant. With much love the food is prepared here and the friendliness of the staff is overwhelming! Rarely in the Philippines get such a good meal, the ingredients are fresh and the preparation sensationally good. Was here several times for breakfast as well as dinner. Always excellent taste. The prices are more than good for Port Barton. Probably one of the cheapest restaurants in this area. Didn’t pay more than 300peso for a dish and tea. What I definitely recommend is anything with fish! Simply outstanding. Otherwise, the cheese garlic baguette stands out as well as the pancakes and the fresh mangos. A big thank you goes out to the owners who are so friendly and accommodating and advise you on all your needs! Will miss this place as soon as I have to leave Port Barton. ”
