Fil-Manila

Very good food, we had two soups, squash with coco nut milk, and chicken noodle, had just arrived in Barcelona by ferry from Rome, my son was not in the mood for heavy food. Waite staffs was very helpful and pleasant, and the price was right.

This place is a hole in the wall but their food is authentic homestyle Filipino food. Nothing fancy, just really good food. The staff is friendly too. I had kare kare, lumpia, and longanisa, with rice of course. None of these items were on the menu but I asked if they had them and they did. If you’re craving homestyle Filipino comfort food this is the place.

Had a craving. Filipino food in Barcelona? Yep. Filipino working in the hotel suggested this place. He was nice, but he was wrong too.
The food was mediocre. I’ve been to the Philippines many times, and I know what the food should be. This wasn’t it. Also seemed they didn’t really want us there. We should have walked out, but junior was hungry and it was getting late. They didn’t seem eager to serve us, and when my wife asked for halo halo they said they were out (but shortly after served it to some folks that came in after us).
A very disappointing and annoying experience. I can put up with a little annoyance if the food is good enough, but it wasn’t. Go someplace else. This place has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

I hate to give a low rating but I think it is necessary. This place was recommended by the hotel where we stayed. The place is nice. This is the first time I encountered that the restaurant was trying to rush their client to order. When I heard the server say «You need to order now because the kitchen is going to close», so that meant that we are the last customer. I feel bad that we’re causing them to be late to be with their family. But my daughter wanted to eat halo halo so much because the weather that day is warm. So I decided to stay. That is the first thing she ordered and I follows the BBQ, lomi and chop suey. After around 20 minutes our food arrived. She served the BBQ, lomi and last the chop suey but not the halo halo. I thought she will serve that last since that is dessert anyway. A few minutes before she served our food here come two customers asking for halo halo. No question asked, they served halo halo. We are in the middle of our meal here’s another customer, and ordering meal. Really? I thought the kitchen is closing so why were they still taking another order? The worst is at the end I asked for my daughter’s halo halo. She replied «sorry no more ingredient, tomorrow». Wow! We ordered first but we didn’t get it. The kitchen is closing, after 30 minutes still accepting order. What a lie! The BBQ pork is mediocre. The lomi has not much flavor need to add Patis and pepper to give the body. Chop suey, well I can’t be a liar, I like their chop suey. But I don’t think I will come back to this place. I hate liars. I found better places with better food around and at a reasonable price. They charge for the rice! It’s normal for Asian restaurants to include rice. Their initial price is not too bad, but it’s an incomplete meal. If you want to complete your meal with rice I can say it’s no longer reasonable, it’s a bit pricey.

restaurante encantador con una muy buena relación calidad precio, tardan un poco en servirte pero para mi eso es buena señal, la comida es casera y la hacen al momento, especialidades filipinas que están brutales, os recomiendo el Crispy pata que se sale de madreeeeee y luego los fideos filipinos (pandit) no tienen desperdicio, calamares, carnes… adobo!!! yo os digo una cosa si estas por el centro y quieres sorprender a alguien de verdad, restaurante filipino al canto. ahhhhh y la decoración se sale, son todo de cuadros de barcos que los traen los tripulantes que vienen a Barcelona, los propietarios una pareja encantadora.
No es fashion. no es cool… pero para mi tine la esencia de lo que es un restaurante y por eso le pongo 5 estrellas.
