Bourbon Street: Iloilo’s American Bistro At Its Finest

Last Saturday I joined other 3 fellow bloggers in a luncheon courtesy of Bourbon Street.  Bourbon Street is an American Bistro in Iloilo that serves scrumptious American favorites. It is located along the strips of the night spot center of Iloilo, Smallville Complex in Mandurriao. They had been listed in the recent compilation of Philippine Tatler as one of the best restaurants in the Philippines in terms of service, food and price along with other two Iloilo Italian specialty restaurants, Amalfi Cucina Italiana and Al Dente Restorante.

Original Buffalo Wings

During the tiffin of four we got the choice to order whichever we desire in the menu, as I thought we will be served with what they have prepared for us. Then on, we decided to order and have a taste test of Original Buffalo wings, House Special Pizza, Grilled Chicken Pesto pasta and a 15-hour Pork Belly, but unfortunately it was not available, instead the server suggested to have their special treat of the day, the Snapper Florentine.  Of course the meal would not be completed without savoring Bourbon Street’s famous racks of Ribs which is the specialty of the house. The Buffalo wings are just awesome and it tasted so well, dipped in a special sauce mix. The House Special Pizza is a must try with premium toppings of spicy beef, andouille sausage, olives, mushrooms and capers. The Grilled Chicken  pasta in Pesto is also good. The snapper is one of the best in the table; Braised Snapper with Shellfish Cream Sauce, really scrumptious that won a nod from us. Fetching up the meal we indulged in the mouthwatering grilled tender pork ribs served with a bold Bourbon BBQ Sauce and really, it did not disappoint us. Overall, the meal was quiet heavy but we still have ordered desserts. So we feasted on the Million Layer Cake or the so called Millionaires Pouch, flambé of apples and oranges wrapped in Phyllo pastry served with vanilla ice cream. We also tasted the Walnut Turtle Pie which is a gooey caramel on cookie crust with chocolate and walnuts. To wrap up the junket I settled with my Mango Shake while the others had iced tea.

Before all the eating happened we had deferred our cravings for the delectable grubs on the table as we could not resist coddling in taking photos. They were all picture-perfect that took us almost an hour for the picture taking and left the food in a colder state. But still we did enjoy so much the food, the place and the company of each other that served as an avenue for us to hang out with the accommodation of Bourbon Street.

When in Iloilo you must try the food at Bourbon Street, they are really worth trying and for sure would keep you coming back for more. Enjoy the best dining experience in an airconditioned setting or in an alfresco. Have the best party at night in its bar beneath the resto with popular guest DJs to set your mode while you savor the finest wines and bevarages Bourbon Street has to offer.
