  • Pirates Bistro in Subic: For people with a roaring appetite
  • This pirate-themed restaurant in Subic will let you enjoy eating by the sea on a whole new level. Everything inside Pirates Bistro is an allusion to all things pirate and adventurous. It is located right next to Alava Wharf, and at the back of the restaurant you may get to see huge naval and cargo ships docked at the pier.

    The food at Pirates Bistro will make you go aar!

    A station for hungry pirates.

    Even the food offered at Pirates Bistro is fit for mighty pirates. If you’re not a pirate but got a roaring appetite of one, then you would certainly enjoy Pirates Bistro! Their dishes are all cleverly named after pirate characters and places. Take for instance one of their best sellers, Captain Teague’s, named after Jack Sparrow’s father who’s also a notorious pirate in the Caribbean.

    Captain Teague’s is a big serving of baby back ribs smoked and glazed with barbecue sauce, crunchy chicken wings, and mixed seafood on a wooden platter. It is served with your choice of four side dishes: plain rice, garlic rice, coleslaw and/or potato chips. Captain Teague’s meal can feed a hungry crew of three to five persons.

    The Shipwreck Cove is another reference to a location in the Pirates of the Carribean movie. Pirates Bistro’s interpretation of Shipwreck Cove takes on a form of a taco-style pizza, loaded with beef, vegetable toppings, and gooey cheese.

    Gotta love all those toppings!

    Their Pirate King, meanwhile, will make all nacho lovers go arr! Looking like a cake that pirates would certainly approve, the Pirate King is a big pile of nachos that looks much like a pie. It’s topped with sour cream sauce, chili con carne, and different types of cheese, with the salsa sitting at the center.

    Other highly recommended items are Calypso, a pasta dish with assorted seafood in pesto sauce, and Wicked Wench, Pirates Bistro’s own version of Oreo cheesecake.

    Wicked Wench (Php 129)

    Here at Pirates Bistro, you’ll regret nothing—ever. That’s what Captain Jack Sparrow would say!

    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.
