Parilya

Parilya is a must-visit restaurant, especially for a delightful evening dining experience. The captivating view of the surrounding lights from nearby establishments and the beautiful lighthouse at Il Corso adds to the enchanting ambiance. Though we couldn't get a table inside due to the crowd, dining al fresco turned out to be a pleasant surprise for my post-birthday celebration. The staff's attentiveness was impressive; they were always just a call away when needed. I can imagine that lunch at Parilya would be equally enjoyable with its location right across the sea. I highly recommend this restaurant and gladly give it a perfect 5/5 rating.

I was introduced by a friend to this restaurant. I was set to go to Lantaw, and place I've been to a lot of times, and I am really glad I listened. They serve high quality, well presented and delicious authentic Filipino dishes at a very reasonable price. The place was packed including their patio, so the servers were running about and not very attentive to our table, but was gracious enough to snap a photo of our group.. I enjoyed this dining experience.

The food was A chicken bone in which is flavorful and the rice is warm and wrapped in a banana leaf with achara as our sides and green mango shake for dessert. Loved it! The place is perfect for family gatherings, meetings, or just about anything. The view is amazing as you are greeted with a great ocean/sea view. Overall it was worth it.

This is my 1st time visiting Parilya at Il Corso... Of course my 1st time as well to visit the Il Corso area. My wife and I were looking for just affordable eats in the vicinity but my wife wanted to see the whole area first before we dig into foods. As we get excited with "The Stellar" which is the dancing fountain of Il Corso mall, we noticed that quite some people had flocked into this certain restaurant near the dancing fountain and that's where we see Parilya. We took the table outside the restaurant cause we want to have a breath of the sea breeze and we're pretty much fed up with air conditioned spaces in city restaurants and even at home so so we settled in and and thought of getting the menu so we can start ordering. Food rates are quite enough to compensate for our overall experience with the place. Their menu would range from a la carte serving, combo meals, and even group meals. We ordered adobong nokos (squid), sinigang shrimp and baked scallops for our mains. We also have their fruit bowl (slices of watermelon, pineapple, mango) and mango otap for dessert. At first I thought the taste of the dishes were bland but I was convinced when my wife told me that the dishes showcase the natural taste of the food enhanced with natural flavors and not with artificial seasonings such as MSGs and the like. Butter has elevated the taste of the scallops with a little bit agar-agar (gusô) and spices on the side. The squid's flavor is dominant, so as the shimp's. On the flip side, my wife's sinigang is tastier. I wish their sinigang was a little bit tangy with either ibâ or sampaloc elevating that flavor. What's also glaring was how the squid was done... I would think its "rubber-ish". The fruit bowl is just adequate: watermelon and pineapple are sweet. But the mangoes both in the fruit bowl and mango otap were sour. I wish they could've tasted their mangoes before putting it in. The mango otap at 120p with only the condensed milk giving sweetness is a flop. It could've been better it was cream or just lactose-free milk. Nevertheless, I like that their service water is not a tap water (because it doesn't suggest any chlorine-like taste conpared to other restaurants' service water). Lastly, coffee americano and the kapeccino are something that I can recommend...good taste even without cream or sugar. The staff were fine, but not proactive at all. We have to ask one of them to wipe the table we're at because it was wet from the recent rain. The ambiance of the place is a plus for me. It is well-lit and spacious with long tables fit for groups and large families. The menu were available at the main entrace but no staff was there at all to hand these items or perhaps welcome the guests. Leaving the place with almost PHP 2k on our bill is just fine but not really remarkable. I may come back to this place to taste other food items on the menu but I may not really crave to be back soonest.
