Tucked along the roadside in Sorsogon, this small open-air restaurant is a delightful stop for travelers and locals alike. Its location is highly accessible, making it an ideal place to grab a satisfying meal whether you’re just passing through or exploring the area.
One of the standout features of this spot is its spacious seating. The open layout gives a relaxed, casual vibe perfect for a laid-back dining experience. While the parking area isn’t very large, it generally isn’t a problem since most customers don’t stay too long—making room turnover manageable.
What truly sets this place apart is the food. Each dish bursts with flavors that highlight the rich culinary tradition of Bicol. Two standout dishes I highly recommend are Bulalo (beef marrow soup) and Baluko (pen shell meat)—both flavorful and deeply comforting. The Bulalo is savory and hearty, perfect for any time of day, while the Baluko offers a more unique, local taste that seafood lovers will surely enjoy.
It would have been nice to have complimentary cold water, but that’s a small trade-off considering they offer bottled options for sale—understandable from a business standpoint.
As for the pricing, it sits comfortably in the middle—not too cheap, but not overly pricey either. It’s fair for the quality and portion of the food...

Though a bit far from the city proper.
Highly recommended for...
