Coast Bar & Restaurant also we where will they serves your complimentary Filipino breakfast. We ordered the following dishes for diner: Sisig- It was mostly the fat part of the pork and it was to sweet for my liking. Grilled Squid- Squid was fresh, sweet and tender. Crispy Pata- This was excellent. The skin was nice and crispy and the meat was moist and tender. Bangus Sinigang- Bangus was fresh, but I like my Sinigang a bit sour. Pinoy Salad- Fresh steamed vegetables dish served with salted egg and bagoong. Delicious. Dessert- Halo Halo Service was friendly but a bit slow. Our drinks and alcohol didn't came until after our food arrived. Overall food is good to ok.

Big Bro and GodNiece spoke highly of their empanadas. Really, I just wanted a drink, but their shawarmas looked too dang appealing! And for the bargain price of P47PHP (less than a US dollar) I had to have it! Meat was tender and seasoned awesome. The veggies were the exact amount of counterbalance. Whatever they gave me was a bargain. Keeping this on top of my Baguio snack stop list.

The place wasn't busy when we came in. But no employee on site to sit us down. It took about 5 minutes before we could be tended to. We ordered each a plate. It comes with rice, protein and vegetables. Food temperature was good and tasty but portions are not generous. We were not able to fully enjoy our food because it was warm. They didn't have enough fans to accommodate their customers. Sigh Public facilities are upstairs. Not well lit. Limited parking.

Had to order first, then chose a table. Tried their pork overload... It had half a deep fried pig head, deep fried pork belly, deep fried pork intestines, and other pig parts I didn't recognize. It was initially good, then the fatty taste started overwhelming the palate. Soy sauce with chili and calamansi (Philippine lime) did not help.... Figured this was going to be a rare occasion due to the fried taste. Prices very reasonable but again, a rare occurrence. Don't know if I'll come back !!!!

An absolute gem in La Union. Filipinos across the…read morePhilippines will tell you that they love Halo Halo de Iloko and for good reason. They serve 5 different kinds of halo halo as well as traditional Filipino and Ilocano dishes. I personally recommend the Buko Halo Halo (their most popular item), especially on a hot day. And their palabok is the best I've had in the Philippines so far. Absolutely check out this awesome, famous spot if you're in El Yu. Very groovy vibes. Keep in mind the wait can be long during the lunch brush. And, prices here are expensive for Filipino standards.

The property itself is quite large, with plenty of local shell chandeliers, old furnitures, and antiques to look at while you wait or wander. We tried the Fiesta Halo-Halo, and to be honest, there was nothing particularly special about it. We even made a special trip just to try it, but it didn't quite live up to the hype. At ₱181, it felt a bit pricey for what we got.

It was my last night in the city and I invited my family members for dinner…read more We were a party of 13 and we chose to sit outside since the wait inside is 25 - 30 minutes. We ordered a lot of food enough for the whole village but we needed more. Waiters are no where to be found and so I have to keep on going to the receptionist to order more food. I did this for a couple of times and I wasn't shy in opening my mouth to them. I would understand it if it is busy but it was not. Even my family members noticed it and they were complaining about the service too. Customer service that night was so disappointing. Nobody checked on us or even cleaned our table to give space for the food that we order more. I have no complaints about the food and the surroundings but just the service that particular night. I hope this will not happen in the future. I am a generous tipper but my family was not happy with the service - they said not tonight.

After traveling 8,000 miles to serve as Guest of Honor and Speaker at Union Christian College, San…read moreFernando La Union Philippines, we were invited taste the culinary delights of Ilocandia at Natalna Grille and Restaurant. The restaurant is along the main highway and as you enter the building, you are immediately in view of the sea while stepping above the breakwaters ... the floor is made of bamboo with tables and furnitures that are naturally locally sourced, too. Organic and naturalist underrated and breathing the humid yet fresh sea smell is a bonus ambiance that makes you feel like dining in the middle of the sea. Our main course was seafood; grilled milkfish (Bangus), locally caught squid with tomatoes, onions and other aromatics. The fish was excellent which to me defined what I've missed for more than 20 years of studying and working away from home. The squid was oh my, chewy but smelled like fire and aromatics in one, garnished with tomatoes, onions and a stench of a little soy sauce. What's interesting was their Borodebod with mushroom ( we call it dinengdeng, for Ilocanos), a locally sourced assortment of vegetables: squash, okra, patola, mushroom etc... with fish sauce as part of its soup base. If you haven't had such dish, go to Natalna and enjoy such delight, it's not only delicious but wil keep you loving for at least 10-15 years longer. I do prevention programs in Los Angeles and cannot stress this more than anything. The Sisig was equally delicious, it had a crunchy component which is an edge away from others that we've tasted as I landed a few days back and on our way to this province. We had other dishes but perhaps having you drop by this restaurant would be best instead of my long descriptive and equally boring narrative about my return to this part of the world. Don't forget to come to this part of the world with an open mind, an empty stomach and a willingness to appreciate the beauty of other culinary dishes from what you've been used to.

Prices are a bit higher than competitors in the area, but the location is in the heart of a high traffic / tourist zone. I could only imagine that rental space is much higher. You're also paying for the experience. Clean restrooms, showers if you enter from the beach, photo booths, entertainment, and multiple seating areas. You also have dessert, bars, night life, & the OCEAN all within walking distance. They totally scored the space at the end of the building facing the beach. Parking lot is small and only fits a few cars but there's a garage located under the San Juan port building not too far away.
