Paupatri Restaurant

Reviewed By HoonyK

This review may not be accurate because my knowledge/experience towards Philippino food is not sufficient. So this is how I felt.We ordered Ginataang Gulay, beef tenderloin in soya sauce, sinigang fish and 2 garlic rice. The portion was more than enough for 2 people.They tasted great, though some food felt a bit salty for me. The servers were friendly and took a real good care of us. The whole atmosphere was very exotic, felt like a king in a south east country. If you wanna try something local and want to spend some bucks into a find dinning, Paupatri is a must go place. Fyi, it is a little hard to find because our tricycle driver didnt know where it is. Its right next to Boracay Summer Palace and a hospital.

Coming here felt like coming home. Their meals are so simple yet exquisitely done and extremely flavorful. Who knew you can whip up something gourmet with just a handful of backyard vegetables without using sophisticated spices. Ken, the Chef and Owner, and his salad and side dish recipes made me appreciate the rich taste of coconut oil as vinaigrette mixed with local vegetables. We had to order some of the meals twice because it's just that good. Also, I will not forget the dessert they served us. It's one of the best healthy desserts I could eat and eat all over again. If I got it right, it's a mixed of overripe "lakatan" bananas, topped with thick coconut milk sauce, homemade berry jam, and garnished with toasted coconut milk curds. Few ingredients and still very flavorful. Just sharing here the dishes that I remember by taste makes me salivate! Ughhh. Before I stop functioning here trying to relive those food moments, let me tell you how good they prepare their fishes. You will forget pork and beef. That's it. Do me a favor, have your breakfast, lunch and dinner here in order to fully understand the whole experience. So far, this is the real and authentic "sustainable, and locally sourced" concept in the food and beverage industry in the Philippines. Everything is affordable and so fresh. I can't wait to be back and try their other dishes.

Tatoy's Manokan and Seafoods

Reviewed By edwintclee

The seafood, especially oysters are famed in Iloilo and this is one of the best places to have a good seafood meal with good service. You choose your dishes from a central display counter that exhibits the samples of some of the popular dishes. The waiter then comes to take your orders for drinks and service is prompt.

Hoy Panga Boracay

Reviewed By jehsee

Their danggit is too salty and not as crispy as the perfect danggit that I’m used to. Their bacon and egg pancake sandwich has tasteless bacon and flaky pancake. Maybe I’ll give them a chance next time at lunch of dinner. But for breakfast food, go somewhere else.

Dining at Subo Boracay was a plesant surprise. Dishes were familiar Filipino favorites with unique and intersting twists! A must-try for foodies!

Reviewed By iamgholda

During our stay in Boracay, I was looking for a good restaurant where I can celebrate my birthday and also good ambiance, delicious food and child-friendly. And it so happened that I saw good reviews in Tripadvisor for this restaurant so we gave it a try. First, the way going to the restaurant was a bit difficult and slippery. There’s a big truck along the way so we need to be careful as we are also carrying a child. It was located in the roof top of the Ferra hotel. The ambiance was very cozy and romantic. I need to say that all of the staff was amazing. They were even playing with my daughter. Food was great specially the Nasi Goreng. After our meal, I was surprised when all of the staff were singing happy birthday with balloons and cake. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! Hi iamgholda,Thank you so much for sharing your experience here in TripAdvisor. We are always grateful and happy to celebrate our guests' special life events :). Thus, knowing that we made your birthday a special one, we are the happiest!We did enjoy playing with your child as well. So adorable making every staff loves it :)Will make sure to inform the entire team as well how delighted you are with the Nasi Goreng. As one of our best sellers, we would want our guests to try this whenever they come at Ruf.We would also like to apologize for the inconvenience you had going here. We would like to inform you that the road is good already. You can now enjoy walking without worrying about the big truck or muddy road.Thank you again for the commendations, and we are looking forward to celebrate more special moments with you :)

Stopped by for a quick lunch and ahd the liquid sunshine cold pressed juice, no sugar, and it was deliciously refreshing after drinking local fare for the past few days. the chicken drumstick in the Adobe was cooked perfectly and red/brown rice was good enough I didn't even need the sauce.
