patio isabel

favorite go-to unliplacebefore. i love how quaint theirplaceis, medyo old filipino/spanish style ang interior. their food choices is limited but delicious! i love their karekare and grilled pork. i also love their krispy kangkong.

what i dont like about it is their bottomless iced tea. it tastes like water, i think too much tipid, not worth the money.

overall, the iced tea is my only problem. the rest is great. theplaceis a bit hard to find since it's not where most vehicles pass by but still super worth it.

goodplaceto dine with your family and friends. good ambiance, classic or vintage look which is cool and good food. good customer service experience.

thisplaceis a hidden gem. they offer filipino cuisine and take note, it's buffet. i love their palabok and you get to make your own halo-halo. theplaceis antique-y and i love it. it's a nice setting for special occasions.

amazing authenticplaceto dine in, price is good , food is well cooked, what i love there is the crispy fried kangkong, nothing beats! unlimited drinks for 35p only !

savor your favorite classic filipino dishes here at patio isabel. its an eat-all-you-can family restaurant serving dishes like kare-kare (my favorite), menudu, pancit canton, nilagang baka, and for desserts, halo-halo.

the atmosphere of theplaceis also great. its like you're eating inside a haciendero's house while being served by very attentive and courteous waiters.

for only p250 you can eat all you can. just don't leave leftovers. they also sell unlimited iced tea to compliment your food fest.

**buffet price as of sept. 2017 is p240 without drinks. bottomless iced tea is p50.**

place:
open the doors and you will find yourself transported into the spanish era- old frames, antique decors, carved wooden chairs and tables, that homey ambience. clean and presentable. yep, it's instagrammable.

service:
the waiters were very polite and attentive, i have no complaints.

food:
my favorite was the lumpiang shanghai and my least favorite, the crablets. the former was served hot and crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside. the crablets were crispy too, except that it tasted bland and needed more salt maybe? ugh, i hated it. all the other filipino dishes were okay -not the best, but good enough for it's price. i was satisfied with the viands. the dessert? not so much. there really wasn't much, just two lousy looking little squares (biko and maja) and a do-it-yourself halo2x which was mehhh.

here are the reasons for my deducted points:

-1= disappointing dessert. if they'd add icecream to the halo2x, i'd reduce it to -0.5.

-0.5 = theplaceis inaccessible to the riding public. i mean sure, you can walk going there but when we went out at 9:30pm, the street was already dark and scary (the other side is a residential area, and i'm not talking about a classy one if you know what i mean). thank heavens there's uber.

thank you for reading. hope it helps.

greatplaceto take your special someone one on a date if they aren't picky of the food. their food aren't really special but they're delicious. buffet style serving filipino dishes. thisplaceto me is really underrated.

a buffet which offers filipino cuisine. a college friend of mine celebrated his bday with us here. theplaceis really great since not many people know the place. the food is great, especially the bistek tagalog. the refills are very fast too. :)
