When it comes to a true Bohol experience, Astoria Bohol is the place to stay at. Not only does our resort offer a breathtaking view of the pristine beaches and lovely horizon, but it also gives you an unforgettable culinary experience at its very own restaurant, Pamana.
Pamana is where local flavors come alive — offering an array of traditional Filipino dishes. Here, it is not just about great food; it is about experiencing the rich culture of the island through every bite. Whether you are a food enthusiast or simply in search of delicious comfort food, our restaurant will take you on a gastronomic adventure you will not forget.
Here are four must-try dishes from our cafe:
Pork Humba
Humba is a Filipino favorite that is rich, savory, and packed with layers of flavors, and is often referred to as the “Filipino adobo’s sweet cousin”. The pork is cooked until it practically sips in all the flavors and bursts in your mouth, and the sauce is so flavorful, you will find yourself scooping up every last drop. It is the kind of comfort food you crave after a long day at the beach or a busy afternoon exploring the island.
Rellenong Talong with Chorizo De Bohol
Another dish you simply must try at Pamana is the Rellenong Talong with Chorizo De Bohol. Rellenong Talong, or stuffed eggplant, is a staple in Filipino cuisine. But Pamana elevates this dish with a delightful Boholano twist by adding Chorizo De Bohol, a local sausage known for its rich, savory flavor. The beauty of this dish lies not only in its plating and presentation but in its simplicity and how the ingredients come together to create something extraordinary.
Pesto Pasta
While local cuisine takes center stage at Pamana, there’s also a surprise for those looking for something a little different. If you’re craving something light, fresh, and full of flavor, you should try asking for our Pesto Pasta. This dish is not officially on the menu but can be made upon request.
It is the kind of dish that feels like a special treat, like you’ve unlocked a secret only the most discerning guests know about.
The award-winning Astoria Bibingka
No meal at Pamana is complete without indulging in the Astoria Bibingka. This Filipino rice cake, traditionally made during Christmas, has been given a unique twist by Astoria and has been made available all year round. Whether you are enjoying it as a snack between meals or as a dessert to cap off your meal, it is the perfect way to wrap up a delicious Boholano feast.
From the savory Pork Humba and Rellenong Talong with Chorizo De Bohol to the fresh Pesto Pasta and the delectable Astoria Bibingka, the restaurant offers a range of flavors that cater to every palate. The unique blend of local and international dishes makes dining here a true culinary adventure. And what makes it even better is that you get to enjoy all of this while surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the resort — a place where relaxation meets gourmet dining.
Whether you’re here for a special occasion or just a weekend getaway, Astoria Bohol promises a memorable experience, not just for your eyes but for your taste buds too. The resort is more than just a place to stay, it is where food and culture blend seamlessly, offering guests the chance to savor the authentic flavors of Bohol in a warm, welcoming setting.
