Jo's Chicken Inatô — Restaurant in Dumaguete

Jo's is just one of those Dumaguete staples, and indeed the restaurant started in Duma then branched out to other places. The food is affordable and esp the chicken inato here is great. I always enjoy comin here and in fact this is one of my partners favorite places.
