Top 5 Specialty Food in Philippines

Panglao, Bohol, Philippines

“Got to give place a high up there. The food was amazing, every single dish we ordered. Service was prompt and setting was perfect. It tastes a bit fusion and I’m not sure exactly what type of food but it was all good. The coconut trip was addictive and even the karage chicken and French toast surprised me.”

Sikat Rd, Alfonso, Cavite, Philippines

“It was my second time eating here. The first time there were only four of us so we ordered only 3 viands. This time, there were 20 of us, so we were able to sample more food. Some were very good, like the fresh spring rolls, the red chicken curry, the shrimp hot and sour soup, and a fried spring roll, which I forget the name. The others were just OK for me like the pad thai and the bagoong rice. The ambiance is very nice and the service was excellent. There's ample parking at the back of the restaurant.”

“They serve Filipino food, price is a bit on the pricier side but what do you expect from a Wildflour restaurant. Food for me is good but the service is great! Also, their holiday ham is to die for!”

““To order, please call one of our friendly staff” the menu reads. The only problem is, none of the staff wears a badge to identify whether they are or not. So, I stopped one and asked him if he was friendly. After looking at me as if I’d come from another planet, he pointed out that all the staff in the restaurant are friendly. So, I could take my pick as to whom I would place my order with! So with that out the way, I would say that this is definitely one of my favourite restaurants in Los Baños. The food is good, the staff are super friendly, it’s good value for money. This was my 5th visit and I will definitely be returning plenty of times in the future. Well done SK!”

“I went to Chef Baboy late evening, around 8.30 pm. Since it was around closing time, the staffs were busy fulfilling the customer orders. We chose our sides and meat options, and they served our first order within a few minutes. They should …”

“Really tasty filipino food. Well made. I noticed some reviews said the food was salty, we did NOT find this to be an issue. …”

“This is a very special 25 kg lechon for a very special occasion. Very tasty, crunchy and the meat melts in your mouth.”

“I've been to this place a lot of times already and have tried their cupcakes, bars and puddings. But all those times I forgot to take pictures. Today I decided to be healthy and ordered apple pie to go with my cappuccino. All I can say is this may be one of the few cases were choosing good is bad. I didn't enjoy much the apple pie as compared to the Magic cookie bar or the red velvet. The crumbs topping was a little too thick and hard in my opinion. You'll need to exert extra push to crack it open and get to the apple filling. Also the apple slices inside were not that sweet. To really enjoy M bakery you have to accept the sugar that comes with their cupcakes and bars. Forget apple pie.”

“I come back every time I visit the Philippines. It's still (mostly) very consistent. The only miss was that the bulalo was a little salty during our visit. Otherwise, great all around. One non food related issue is that their parking space is very small, and there's a need to double park at the front of the restaurant.”

N Escario St, Cebu City, 6000 Cebu, Philippines

“My go to place for authentic shawarma in the city. Everything from the ingredients used to the preparation is excellent, I have dined here countless times and the food quality never changes. Although some might say the food is a bit on the pricey side it is well worth it. Their Chicken Taouk Wrap (they even have a healthier brown wrap option), Falafels (various choices but cheesy falafel is a fave) ,Kibbeh, Sambousek and Salads are all a must try and after that you can also try their Kunafa and Baklava as dessert options for the finishing touch. You can never go wrong with this place it is worth a visit as one of the best restaurants in Cebu.”

108 Session Rd, Baguio, 2600 Benguet, Philippines

“We visited in November 2023. This restaurant is just a few blocks away from the bus terminal. We went here around 1p on a Saturday but we didn't have issues finding seats. Food was also served fast which was a pleasant surprise. It was tasty and affordable. If I am not mistaken, the restaurant is on the 4th floor of an old building which maybe challenging for some.”

“I was invited by my friend whose birthday was in September. Therefore, we had 50% discount by using her membership. I love every dishes we had, even the pork one. The salad and the chicken were my favorite. Highly recommended for special anniversary or holidays.”

912 P.Ocampo St., Malate, Manila, 1004 Metro Manila, Philippines

“THEY SCAMMED MY GRANDPARENTS Regular price is 599, but THEY SAID if you are senior the price is 699. They gave their ID to get the 20% discount for seniors, but they gave a higher price???? And their service is so poor that you won't even call it service, it should be called torture. Some customers cooked their meat to our table because some tables have no gas on their stoves”

Maria Clara St, Santa Mesa Heights, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines

“Saw this in another platform. Will add this to our go tos. Food - We loved the taste of their cereal chicken, it's unique! Loved the sauces too for the sticks. Parking - Street parking only, we went on a Sunday and was able to park to the building in front of them as they only have 5-6 parking slots? So it's recommended to go like on a Sunday afternoon. Service - Hmm not so friendly staff, had to asked twice for black vinegar.”

“My go to place for katsu curry. I prefer their recipe over coco ichibanya for some reason. But the kazuya katsu curry is what I always aim for yet its always unavailable, so I settle for the regular rosu katsu curry. The meat is always soft, and delicious. Paired with their unlimited cabbage and kewpie dressing. I like the overall taste. Opt for the brown rice and it was surprisingly soft. Usually brown rice has a tough texture. The miso soup served was a bit salty. I think they forgot to dilute it. Watermelon wasn't sweet nor sour. It was plain bland and yellowish in hue. I think it was not ripe to consume yet. Service was preoccupied. Completely understandable since they have a number of customers lined up and waiting. Atmosphere was neither hot nor cold, temperature was just okay. We sat by the window. Overall vibe, I might have to add that the place smells like a fast food restaurant, if you know what I mean by that. It wasn't entirely pleasant. An air purifier/revitalizer would probably fix that.”

332 H.V. Dela Costa, Makati, 1227 Metro Manila, Philippines

“I enjoyed my lunch experience at this restaurant, which was my second visit. They offer lunch sets that are satisfying in both quality and quantity. The sashimis were fresh and tasty. The staff were courteous and helpful. The restaurant had a clean and modern Japanese atmosphere. They even had a Japanese-style toilet, which was a nice touch.”

Central Square, 30th St Bonifacio High Street, Corner 7th Ave, Taguig, 1635 Metro Manila, Philippines

“The food here is good and decent. Portion size is average, just enough for one. My favorite here are the juices, they taste really great and refreshing; excellent thirst quencher. Service is good and attentive. The place looks really nice and cozy, perfect for brunches and meals where you chill after with family and friends. My only negative comment about this restaurant is that the male restroom’s lavatory faucet is not functional. I hope it would be recitified soon so the patrons/diners can wash their hands before and after eating and most especially after using the restroom. I would’ve rated the atmosphere higher if this was not the case.”

“Blown away by the idea and the ice-cream. Tried both the mix and plain coconut. Had to go back to repeat. Really good dish if you will.”

“Overall: Go here for the ambiance, not the food, service, or value for money. Food: Not worth going back to. We ordered pastries, cold drinks and hot drinks. Their best-selling hot chocolate drink, along with most of the menu items are too sweet, too loaded with sugar! I would recommend asking if you can control the sugar level of your drink. Cost is expensive for what you get, but understandable since the location is far from the city center; if only it were good. Interiors, atmosphere: Superb! It's like being in Baguio but without the clutter. The pine tress and rolling slopes are amazing. The cold breeze was perfect for savoring a hot drink. As with many Villar-owned chains, the interiors are pretty, sadly this doesn't translate to the taste of their food. Service: All their staff were unwelcoming to customers despite it being a quiet/not-so-busy time during out visit. Their workforce would benefit from a hospitality training.”
