The family had a big dinner here a few years ago and that was my first time at the Granary, which…read moreis located in the Richmonde hotel. I'll be honest, that dinner with the family was quite nice but I can't really point to anything memorable, other than I liked the table settings and presentation of the food. We were a party of 40?? And they were prepared. But in staying eight (8) nights at the Richmonde for a vacation to visit family, I'm so glad we opted to pay extra for the buffet breakfast. I know, I know - Anthony Bourdain states that we should grab a meal far away from the hotel, but I actually liked it here. If you're not seated in the main dining area, by the kitchen, you'll be seated in the bar area. That's what I call the Business Class section. You may have to walk a little farther for your food, but it's not as busy and you can have a quiet conversation. As for the food, I really loved the omelettes which are made to order - I usually just asked for everything. There is a wide variety of breads, rolls, cakes (calorie counting??, not anymore), jams, cereals, there's just a ton of carb choices. My favorite was the Champorado - which is a chocolate rice porridge. Yes, this was a childhood memory in a bowl, topped with condensed milk. For protein, there was a lot of that too - longanisa sausages, beef tapa, and pork Tocino. There was a lot of fresh fruit too, and unlimited bacon. One warning, the coffee was not strong enough so have the hot chocolate instead. It was a pleasure to come here every morning and I had extra family members join me and they don't charge it to your room, so bring your credit card with you.

We opted to add breakfast as part of our hotel booking. They have an extensive menu both Filipino…read moreand western food. The service is great, they remove our dirty dishes right away. The size of this place is not too big nor too small but I think for the amount of their clientele they could use a bigger space.

Great food and ambiance! Free wifi, no minimum amount needed to avail the internet connection…read more It was my first time to visit the cafe. Who better to ask about the house specialty, but the owner herself, Aradelle . Suggested the fried and rolled lasagna...yes! Very interesting way of serving...delicious! Finished the whole plate! Also had the cafe latte. It's ok. I like my drink to be super sweet! It's kind of pricy for the pasta lasagna but its worth every cent. Overflowing meat sauce and melted cheese. Surprised to bite bacon, rolled in the pasta They also serve all day breakfast, cakes and sandwiches. The location is inside a building complex. Got lost the first time. Interior is inspired by nature and for beach lovers. Dine in a surf board‍ Haven't tried the cakes or homemade ice cream. I'm pretty sure to come back!

We came here to try the very local Media Puro (strong black coffee), and added some Muscovado sugar…read more(tasted and smelled like molasses) to sweeten this incredibly bold and intense coffee. We were later told that they prepare it by boiling the grounds for a long time. Unfortunately, the high acidity and caffeine turned out stomachs and we suffered the rest of the day. We had some Suman, which had tender sticky glutinous rice and a grated coconut topping with unrefined sugar syrup. It was delicious. The Puto was spongy, slightly tangy and fragrant. It would have been perfect with Dinuguan (pork blood stew) which I eyed greedily as someone at a table beside us had ordered it and seemed to be enjoying himself. I had ordered Tapsilog as well, but our server said it was not available but highly recommended the Corn(ed beef) silog, which turned out to be exceptional. The egg was perfectly fried with toasted edges and a slightly runny yolk. Rice had perfect grain texture and slightly slick with garlic oil. And the corned beef was velvety without having any oil runoff! Yes, the vibe is uber local, and old timers adore it here. Come for an authentic experience.

The chicken à la king did not taste like the actual dish. Their coffee was not arabica, even if there was 2 shots. It was not as close as the actual food, but great vegan options. Service was fast and friendly

Been here once before, and recently walked in and walked out after inspecting the buffet, smelling…read morethe air, and sensing it just another mediocre formulaic half-effort at good food. I've made a move to eat here several times because the new megaworld mall across the street is short on good eateries, but I just can't bring myself to lay down a peso for this stuff. This last brunch included waffles with sticky high fructose syrup, cold fish and stew platters, and sticky glop after all the whatever had been carried away. Seemed just too usual, or unusual, for me to spring for it. Decent-looking venue along the boulevard, but distant parking's still a hassle as construction continues. Oh well, won't return. Just not all that appealing!

I was told that Troi Oi has New ownership but the Vietnamese food is still very much so legit…read more Also, I'm not aware of any other Vietnamese restaurants in Iloilo so they have sort of a monopoly. The location is perfect too, after your meal, you can take a nice walk on the River Esplanade. Clean, safe, well-lit, and a pleasure to get a little exercise, after a big meal at Troi Oi. They have an extensive menu and I'm sure it's not 100 percent authentic but I do enjoy their chicken wangs, deep fried shrimp, goi cuon (fresh rolls), Bahn mi (baguette with beef sandwich) and their Vietnamese coffee (cold). The pho broth wasn't as nuanced and it certainly lacked the scent of cinnamon. But the catfish in a clay pot is a Vietnamese requirement and that was very good.

The two times we've been here, it's been marginal at best, but really, we won't return!…read more Not only are we trying to avoid the nutritional shortfalls - high fructose syrup, white flours and sugars, stale lettuce and food-coloured papaya strips - but to taste something that remotely resembles a decent American breakfast seems impossible: * Only the steamed eggs were as they should be. * The tough cold bacon had been re-heated after asking for it fresh and crispy. * With no toaster in sight they can't toast bread: found myself using a stiff waffle as toast to eat my eggs. Another guest tried to use their untoasted bread but left her eggs and bread on the plate. * The limp salad garnish on at least four plates was left untouched. * My wife's boneless bangus was passable but greasy and almost tasteless. * A thin slightly-hard stale weird potato-like mini-patty masqueraded as 'hash browns'. * The cook tried to present the meals well, but the actual food is more important. We won't ever go back to eat drek, and won't recommend it to you! Unfortunately, we don't know of an alternative in Iloilo anywhere, and so it's simply better to buy your own bacon and eggs, make your own hash browns, and toast some pretty good Nicolette Bakery bread at home.

I don't remember yesterday's server but today was Tammy. Both servers were absolutely fantastic. Attentive, polite, friendly, I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Yesterday my husband had the Hungarian pizza and I had the pasta Muelle. Tonight he had the beef tenderloin and I had the chicken adobo pasta. Everything was delicious, the flavor superb, the service excellent. I wish I lived here that we could go more often. Highly highly recommend.

I have not tried their bread but I have ordered several things from here including their pasta,…read morebeef dishes, pork dishes, pizzas, and their salmon. Prices are a bit on the high side compared to other restaurants inside the mall but I can say the quality has been consistently good. I have eaten inside about 3 or four times and the only food that wasn't very good was the salmon. It was a bit on the dry side. Everything else has been flavorful. As I have mentioned, I have not tried their bread but both my mom and dad always ask me to buy their multigrain bread for them whenever they know I am planning to visit. Whenever I get too lazy to go out because of the brutal heat (Philippine weather), I order via Grab. Tip your rider, people. I saw several wait for 20-30 minutes for orders while I was eating there.

Got to follow up on this review. I overrated it by 2 stars on my initial review…read more Why? The breads have fallen seriously off after the covid breakout: even my favourite multi-grain is less substantial. The 'sourdough' bread has no starter in it (the premix fermentation process that makes is sour and nicely-flavoured), and therefore is NOT sourdough bread at all. This dishonesty factor alone put us off! The meals have never been that good. I think owner Buboy the owner tries, but their slab-bacon breakfast is just fried fatty pork belly instead of smoked bacon. The huge black Angus burger looks great, but on the third time it just wasn't that tasty (maybe a different cook), and the other dishes are off. The only pasta we like is olive oil and garlic, but at home I can easily equal it. As well, the meals all are pricey compared to what you get. As I've found two better places for bread, we now don't go there for anything (you know, honesty does count for something!).

Great service yummy food traditional to Iloilo. Just love it. Stopped by for lunch & what a great…read morehomecoming for me. Brought backed fond memories of my childhood. Ordered Crispy Pata, Kare-Kare, Fresh Vegetarian Lumpia, Ube Sago (Boba). Crispy Pata is pork leg with skin & bones boiled till tender & deep fried, crispy, so tasty. Be careful of bones tough on your teeth. Kare-Kare is beef stew with peanut sauce, thick & creamy with Pechay, like Bokchoy. Fresh Vegetable Lumpia is veggies wrapped in crepe like wrapper & rolled. Lumpia is not fried a healthy option. It comes with tasty sauce. Ube sago is more like Ube ice cream shake with Boba tapioca pearls. Ube is purple yam, Also good as a dessert drink. It's so rich, creamy & delicious. Nice ending to a great meal. Needless to say I rolled out of the restaurant with leftovers for my next meal in tow. The restaurant is in Robinson shopping mall with parking available. Free WiFi is available. This is my family's favorite traditional ilongo restaurant. Anyone visiting Iloilo must come & try this restaurant.

They have several…read moresavory fried chicken,crispy pasta, Kare-kare, pinakbet, apan -apan (Visayan sauteed kangkong--a vegetable side dish). They serve tons of refreshing juices like Kalamansi juice, mango juice, fresh coconut juice. They also have special menu that's good for a party of 4 posted all around for a fixed price-all good for sharing. Just ask what portions best suits your party. The crispy pata is very good that has some crunchy skin and that perfect umami saltiness. This is located in the province of Iloilo where my in-laws are from. A very nice, upscale resto and oh, you can bring your own liquor and drink there even if it's a black label. They allow it and will even provide ice if you like that. It's a trendy place, clean, wonderful staff. I liked this place and all the foods we had. If you know your Filipino food like i do? I highly recommend this for a nice special dinner. This is a good place.
