Plaridel, Quezon

Plaridel is the smallest municipality in the province of Quezon. It lies between the towns of Atimonan and Gumaca, hugging the coastline of the Province alongside Maharlika Highway.

Siain Port used to be an international port in the 1970s to 1980s when residents of Plaridel shipped off copra to Western countries. Now, the port merely serves as a fishing and hang out area for the locals. A lighthouse can be found near the port entrance. The waters surrounding the port is home to more than 100 types of fish. The most common include tanigue, banlug, bulihos, salingasi, sibo, and salasa. What’s funny is that these types of fish take on different names once you reach the town of Gumaca, only a few kilometers south of Plaridel.

This restaurant is one of the pioneers of this town.
Serving mostly Filipino/Asian dishes at really affordable prices.
There is so much room for improvement in the food selection and its amenities and services, but come on, we could only demand so much from a fairly priced eatery.

The place is clean and decent, serves no alcohol and doesn’t allow smoking so it is family and child-friendly.
Sadly, it has no parking space.
But i still drop by everytime I go to Bicol.
Good food with fast service.
