Manille Bar LIO

Cannot understand the negative reviews here! We ate here NINE times sampling several dishes and never got sick! Identifying exactly which food(s) caused the poisoning is VERY difficult given that we all eat at 2-4 places by the time symptoms appear! By ANY standard, their salads are excellent as is their BBQ pork, chicken dishes, tofu dish, etc. Shakes are also quite good. I'm not a big drinker/alcoholic so cannot speak to cocktails but other reviewers seem to like them.

Didn’t order food but I had a coffee and two whiskey sours that were very good and price was ok too. Wife had a shake that was more like a slushy but it was refreshing.

Good good, Amazing cocktails and great staff.
We had Sigi Tofu and it was very good. So, you guessed it, vegetarian options. :-)
Lio beach is awesome by the way, by far the best beach North of El Nido.

Good portions, friendly staff
Great cocktails

PWD Discount: this establishment honors the discount card and excludes VAT as prescribed by law for the items ordered by the card holder. The establishment also issues official receipts.

Friendly server, good food, nice ambience.

I liked the fried red snapper which was the 'Catch of the Day' (Php300) and their pastas which our group ordered. Damn that fish was huuuge and I couldn't eat it all up.

Our table of 10 was served in 30 minutes which is a decent amount of time.

A few mishaps on the order taken --- we were served more pasta than we ordered. Thankfully my group accepted the excess platter of anchovy aglio olio IIRC so the staff were not in trouble. We also had to accept a red snapper order which was mistakenly grilled instead of fried. My companion liked it anyway although the fried fish was much much better. A friend mentioned the chicken inasal being tough. Apart from that, nothing much that detracts from the experience. We were a hungry lot and appreciated being served as the sun set.

I'm giving this 5 stars as I feel like this establishment deserves to get more stars. Although personally i feel like they're 4.5. Appreciating the PWD discount and courteous waitress a lot, so here goes extra points.

Would I come back? I'm effin' broke and got dragged here but if I had money, sure~ fried fish and pasta would be nice.

Very tasteful food and excellent service. The waiters were very courteous and efficient. They had a very extensive menu with vegetarian and vegan options. I had the pork satay sticks which was an entree but with rice it made a main. They have quite a broad cocktails menu also. There is a nice atmosphere sitting out on the deck with the music playing watching the sunset. Very nice place.

Music is good. Feel relax.

Genial

Went here for lunch, Ordered the Chicken Inasal, Pork Sisig, Halo Halo.

The Chicken Inasal looked Sad and unappetizing, my cousin said that it did not taste like Inasal but rather more of Adobo, the Sisig was quite good, the Halo Halo was Refreshing.

Overall it was a Good Lunch, served by friendly and attentive servers plus the amazing Beach Ambience of Lio.

Good coffee nice spot for a drink. Chicken tenders were very tasty.

The food was ok and the price average. Maybe the other places are better would try them forst

GOOD

Estas en la zona y te apetece buena comida? Manille Beach es una buena opción, encontraras comida típica y alguna internacional con un toque Filipino. Te recomiendo que no te marches sin probar los nachos, tienen un toque dulce, pero la mezcla de sabores es buena, dale un toque de sal si te gusta más salado y a disfrutar, el el cerdo con sal y pimienta esta para chuparse los dedos, vienen con salsa de soja y ketchup, los fingers de pollo con salsa miel y mostaza también están muy buenos. El servicio muy rápido y atento, y que decir del local? Bonito y tranquilo. No te vayas de Lio sin cenar ahí, no te arrepentirás.

Staff are reasonably friendly. Ordered happy hour cocktails, barely any alcohol in them although they did taste nice. Ordered the nachos. They had something bright orange I think was meant to resemble cheese but it was hard to tell. The tortilla chips were stale. I wouldn’t bother visiting again. The views of the beach are the only thing that make it worthwhile.

Had the nachos here and the buffalo chicken, the food was average but the ambiance and service was decent

Food was really not good. The chicken tenders were the most palatable of the three food items we ordered and they were rubbery and served with regular mayo. The bar charges top shelf prices for bottom shelf liquor. Was mixed ok, but paired with the lousy service, will definitely not be going back.
