It looks like we've found our new favorite in Calbayog City.
After hearing some positive rumors about this new restaurant - the Ormoc-based chain came to Calbayog in November last year - we tried it out today and were really, absolutely, totally pleasantly surprised. They...serve classic filipino food in a modern, elegant setting (the main pieces of decoration are two Gallic looking cocks, indicating the source of their specialty). Between the nine of us we shared quite a variety of items, from crispy pata over their flagship dish, chicken inatô, to beef kare kare, to name just a few. Everything was perfect (and finished to the last bite), except the nondescript pancit Macau (which was mostly left over and packed in a doggy bag).
The service was flawless and fast, and every five minutes or so someone from the kitchen came by with a big rice container because rice is unlimited, a fact well appreciated by some of my young male relatives. And, last but absolutely not least, in contrast to other traditional restaurants in Calbayog (Kamayan or Marcial's) they serve fresh juices and shakes. Bravo!
We were so happy with everything that on the spot we made arrangements for an upcoming graduation party next week.More
