Pig Tales Gastropub

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while exploring the San Juan area outside of Manila. The atmosphere was great, with both indoor and outdoor seating, creating a casual and relaxing setting for dining and drinks. Our party of five enjoyed sharing a variety of dishes, all of which were delicious. Standout items included mozzarella balls wrapped in bacon, seafood marinara, and the infamous Pig Slab.

I was brought to this restaurant by a friend who treated me. We tried the pig slab, which was delicious - soft, chewy, and not overly sweet. The nachos were decent but could have been better. My friend's son ordered the pan-seared chicken and thoroughly enjoyed it along with his herb rice. The only disappointing dish was the calamari, as the batter was not up to par. It would be great if they could improve on that.

I discovered this restaurant on Booky Manila and decided to give it a try. Located in San Juan, not far from Rockwell, I visited on a Sunday. The food at this place is amazing, with great options for both bar snacks and dinner. We ordered Mozzeralla balls wrapped in bacon, beef balls in tomato salsa, spicy chicken wings, and the "pig plate" which was delicious and perfect for 2-3 people. One person in our group had a burger which was delightful, while another enjoyed the Linguini. For dessert, we tried the Bangoes - ice cream with caramelized bacon, and it was absolutely fabulous. This unique dish is a must-try and truly to die for.
