Fev's Diner — Restaurant in Iligan

The Filipino-style ceviche and leche flan with dinosaur egg salt were seriously delicious — hands down, a must-try! Some of the best I’ve had. 😋

We placed our order at 12:49 PM, and according to them, the serving time was 20–40 minutes. But by 1:32 PM, we still hadn’t received our food, so I ended up messaging their page instead of going back upstairs to follow up — I was honestly too tired to move around. 😅

To be fair, when I messaged, their waitstaff responded right away, which I appreciated. Still, just a small suggestion: if the wait is going to go beyond what was promised, it would really help if they could inform the customer in advance, just to manage expectations, especially for groups who might have seniors or are coming from sensitive situations — like in our case, my aunt had just come from the hospital.

As for the ambiance, lunch downstairs is definitely better — it’s air-conditioned and more comfortable. But it seemed like the lower floor wasn’t available for just anyone? Not really sure why, but it would be helpful if they explained that to guests.

One more suggestion: it would be great if staff could accommodate arriving guests more proactively, even if they show up carrying plastic bags or don’t “look the part,” haha. My aunt and uncle brought quite a lot with them that day — we had to call out to get someone’s attention to order.

That said, we still left satisfied overall — mainly because of how good the leche flan and Filipino-style ceviche were. Seriously, drool-worthy. 🤤 Would definitely come back...

First time eating here and the food did not disappoint. The place of a bit small so when large groups of people come to dine in, the place is a bit cramped.

As for their customer service, the waiter was very friendly and he was informative about the menu. He took the time to welcome us and explain what are the best sellers on the menu which i highly appreciated so kudos to him.

As for the food, it took a bit of time for them to serve our food, but it was worth the wait. I specially liked their kare-kare and their Cajun chicken although the pieces were a bit small, but the flavor was just bursting in your mouth. The bulalo soup lacked a bit of seasoning though and the platter of rice was a bit small. 1 platter would only feed 2 people; one if your really hungry. And as for their Leche flan, it was indeed the best tasting Leche flan I tasted in Iligan City. A must try indeed. Will definitely come back...

Dropped by for lunch on our way home to CDO. Heard the Carabeef Randang is the bestseller and I'm so glad it did not disappoint. If we had a much longer time, we would have stayed a lot longer and enjoyed it slowly. I also wanted to try the other bestseller - Leche Flan but it was not available during lunch time or at least when we were there. Probably a good reason to visit again ?

Another thing that deserves a good review is the service. Everyone was approachable and felt like each member of their team moves with intention which comes off as warm, friendly and just a good...
