Recommendations for foreigners:
1. Afriques
*Italian food with a touch of Ilonggo-ness.
2. Roberto’s
*Iloilo’s oldest homegrown fastfood restaurant. Delicious siopao, pansit and burgers. No foreigner leaves Iloilo without eating here.
3. Deco’s
*Newest Batchoyan on the block. Established in 1938, it is one of the best tasting Batchoys ever since Ted’s.
4. La Sallete Building
*Choose your pick of some of Iloilo’s native restaurants.
5. Breaktrhu
*Chosen as the best restaurant in the region during last year’s WV Tourism Assembly. Eat native chicken, seafood and other delicacies beside the beach
6. Tatoy’s
*Ilonggo classic. Truly one of the best.
7. Mang Inasal
*The most successful Ilonggo fastfood chain ever and is currently the country’s number one chicken barbecue chain. They also offer free rice refills.
8. Coffeebreak
*The most successful coffee chain of Iloilo. Has branches all over the city and at Boracay. They offer free Wi-fi.
9. JD Bakeshop and Cafe
*Personally recommending this. The best in Ilonggo cuisine and very much affordable for all.

WOW!!! That video made me feel homesick, and of course…H U N G R Y!
The government of Iloilo is vigorously promoting our culture and heritage thru this video production.
I would say Ilonggo dishes are quite unique and distinctive compared to other Filipino dishes. While watching the video, I realized that there are so many young, “serious & professional” Ilonggo chefs around to carry on with the legacy. They featured an array of Ilonggo dishes but they forgot one of my favorites, a very distinctive one, the LUMPIA Ubod.
Few months more and I will have the chance to graze on authentic Ilonggo delicacies! And of course, I’m eyeing on those restaurants listed in Explore Iloilo website. Thanks for the work well done, Marcos!
