  • Luna Rossa Vegetarian Italian Restaurant in Bohol: Al Fresco Dining and Veggie Delights
  • Luna Rossa Vegetarian Italian Restaurant is one of the few vegetarian restaurants on Panglao Island. It features an al fresco setting, perfect for dinner.

    While the restaurant offers a limited variety of food, you can expect the offerings to be inventive. They have the usual Italian offerings such as pasta as well as desserts. They also have a selection of wines that you can choose to accompany your meal.

    Upon being seated, you will be greeted with their complimentary starters that are originals made by the restaurant’s chef. Try this eggplant paste and potato over bread served with flowers. You can eat everything on the plate as the flowers are edible!

    Try their Spring Lasagna (Php 350), a delectable treat with al dente pasta, mixed veggies, and the perfect blend of sauce. If you’re not so sure about which dish to try first, we suggest you try the lasagna!

    Up next are Potato Skewers (Php 300), a dish that’s part of their second-course menu. If you are a potato lover, this dish is for you! The soft texture of the potato and the eggplant cream perfectly give a totally unique flavor.

    Palm Grill in Quezon City: Discover the Bold Flavors of Zambasulta Cuisine
    Palm Grill in Quezon City is a one-of-a-kind dining destination that brings the authentic cuisine of South of Mindanao to Luzon. Established in 2017, Palm Grill proudly serves the rich flavors, vibrant culture, and storied history of the Zambasulta region—Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi—offering diners a rare opportunity to explore Southern Mindanaon dishes without leaving Metro Manila. Known as the only authentic Southern Mindanaon restaurant in Luzon, Palm Grill goes beyond simply serving food. It showcases culinary traditions deeply rooted in Tausug and Zamboangueño heritage, highlighting ingredients and cooking techniques that are not commonly found in mainstream Filipino restaurants. A must-try for first-time diners is the Dulang (Php 1,119)—a specialty tray traditionally served during royal banquets. This curated sampler features a variety of Palm Grill’s signature dishes, making it the perfect introduction to the bold and layered flavors of Zambasulta cuisine. Presented generously and meant for sharing, it reflects the communal spirit of Southern dining. Another standout is the Tiyula Itum (Php 560), a striking black beef soup from the Tausug community. Cooked with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, garlic, onions, and pepper, its distinctive dark color comes from burnt coconut meat, which imparts a deep, smoky richness. Often described as “Bulalo 2.0,” it offers a comforting yet complex flavor profile that surprises and delights. For something hearty and satisfying, the Beef Satti (Php 300) delivers skewered beef served with a flavorful sauce that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes. It’s a beloved Southern staple that captures the bold personality of Mindanao’s cuisine. Through its thoughtfully prepared dishes and dedication to authenticity, Palm Grill continues to champion the culinary identity of Zambasulta. For diners in Quezon City seeking flavors beyond the usual Filipino fare, Palm Grill offers an immersive experience—where history, culture, and cuisine come together in every bite.
