    This is worth the drive from Manila. The best food I had by far. Serving is huge, presentation at it's finest, dishes simply delicious. Chef Dennis prepares the meal right infront of you and personally serves the food to the table. We went for lunch, an 8-course meal that started with freshly baked bread-crusty on the outside, soft and warm on the inside paired with dip of olive oil with fish flakes - not the regular bottled or preserved store bought fish flakes but cooked fresh from the kitchen's catch of the day. The summer salad is colorful-beautifully nestled on top of fresh greens are slices of dragon fruit, apple, ripe mango thinly sliced singkamas, pinipig crunch topped with sweet and creamy dressing with a hint of what I think is juice of pineapple. The salmon is served with crispy skin and caramelized sugar that cracks like crème brûlée. The pasta is mixed with sauce of pork sisig-another uniquely delicious meal. The braised beef melts in your mouth, so soft you can just lift this meat with a toothpick. The pork liempo is perfect, the crispy skin separates from the meat, making it even more appealing. The coffee jelly dessert will keep you awake after a much satisfying meal. I recommend calling way ahead to reserve a table. If you want to impress your family, your neighbor, your foreign guests or your boss, your classmates or friends.. bring them here, you'll be proud you did.

    SUPERB food!!!! A very informative chef. Well, he is a friend from San Beda College. Hahaha. Oh not that our Bedan brotherhood had any impact on this review. As a chef myself, I will never compromise my taste and food experience simply because of our Bedan relation.

    Best value for money for an 8 course meal! The serving sizes are huuuuuge! We even got to take home the left overs. Soft drinks are on the house. The staff are very well trained, you'll always have water or drinks in your glass. The interior is also pretty interesting. Bring a permanent marker if you want to leave a mark on their wall ;) There are parking spaces for 2 cars.

    Food is definitely great and unique. A bit pricey, but worth it. The chef is very accommodating and answers everyone's questions, which makes the experience better. Reservation is required in this place, and a bit difficult. Better to book at least 1-2 months in advance.

  • 5/5 Kissa P. 6 months ago on Google β€’ 74 reviews
    It's almost impossible to book this place but once you get a slot, take it. The food is unique but does not taste unfamiliar. Everytime you book, the chef asks how many times you've been in his restaurant. He then changes the menu for you. There's also a minimum number of guests which is 12. Pros: 1. excellent service 2. interesting, rustic atmosphere 3. great private dining experience 4. good food 5. kids eat for free 6. casual dining Cons: 1. no aircoditioning units 2. limited parking space I have to say though that the pros REALLY outweigh the cons. It's a must try when in pampanga.

    The meal from start to finish was simple and unpretentious. The meal had a clear progression that enticed us more and more. The last few courses in general were indulgent and last meal worthy. Would highly and easily recommend to friends and family.

    We were here for lunch mid November. By chance, we were able to book (as the available slots were in Jan 2024). Everything was 5 stars. Thank you Chef Denlim for the unforgettable experience!
