Template — Restaurant in El Nido

If you are in the Philippines or in El Nido, from my experience there aren’t places where when paying bill you find out that there is 20% service charge. I think this is deceptive to superficially present prices to be lower, especially that it isn’t some kind of premium service restaurant. On top of that the food is really very basic. I got beef tapa which was small piece of beef quite chewy, to that I got cup of rice, 1 fried egg and 1 tiny banana. You will find that on this island there are places who want make an easy buck and there are places who will give you your moneys worth....

The wife and I are exploring El Nido and where we're staying doesn't offer dinner, so we've had to venture out - which I'm glad we did. We came across Template. 2 nights in a row, around 7pm, it's fairly quiet and we got seated and seen to immediately. The service was brilliant, really friendly and polite and the prices are good for the quality of the food. I had the bacon and cheeseburger which was delicious (add some tabasco to it for a little kick) & the fries were delicious too. We'll definitely be going back before we move on. Highly...

We were placed near a doorway, people were constantly smoking right in the doorway throughout our entire meal. None of the other tables were available.

Waitress was rude. When we politely asked for more time to look at the menu, she rolled her eyes and walked away.

Chicken adobo tasted terrible. Fish and chips: fish had a bizarre texture and fries were soggy and oil soaked.

Others have also said the Wi-Fi here is good but nothing would load...
