    If you haven't tried yet, I found Green Dining in Valencia quite agreeable (for dinner on weekends better make a reservation) and worth the money; even if you're not a fan of fried stuff, give their lumpia's a go as a starter.
    More expensive but quite good is Thalatta resort in Zamboanguita.
    Also good but exorbitantly expensive (for the Philippines) is Atmosphere resort in Dauin
    Mama Mia in Dgte is rather nice, but not sure if they have reopened yet (have been closed for most of the pandemic).

    I went there this afternoon and I have to agree. Great food and probably the best service I've had in the Philippines. After being in this country for so long it was almost unnerving to have the owners, chef and staff be so attentive. They seem to truly care that you are enjoying your time there.

    Two appetizers (pumpkin soup and mackerel) two main courses (shrimp and the daily special, which was a chicken dish), 3 or 4 alcoholic beverages, 3 or 4 non-alcoholic beverages, one dessert (butterscotch). Satisfied with everything. P1900 + ~P200 tip.

    Went a month ago or so, still at airport, best tex Mex in town. Easy parking, hope it hasn't moved. As I've posted before, long time ago when we first went, "the owner is from the US ??" "No Sir, he's from Texas.."

    Added note, after staying away from Don Atilano for years due to terrible timing in the kitchen, went last weekend, mostly local clientele. Great food, main courses arrived together and AFTER the appetizer. Back on the list, can get chicken adobo at special request (from old menu)..

    Also tried Jan's new Arbour, also on Hibbard. Great, highly recommended.

    ARBOUR by Jan is worth a try. @ the northern end of Hibbard

    Jan was the chef at Casablanca for a while at the end of 2021 and made an excellent Thanksgiving lunch. He has just opened and is trying to have food completely different from the normal offerings here. European background and a proper chef.
