A cold beer and a good steak, always a good idea. A cold beer and a good steak by the beach? Even better...
Pukka Bar is another dining establishment inside the impressive Lio Tourism Estate in El Nido, offering great food, cocktails and ice cold beers with a beachfront view. It's part of the growing mumber of dining and retail establishments at Lio Tourism Estate by Ayala Land, the first eco-masterplanned integrated resort community in Palawan.
An expansive 325 hectare development, Lio Tourism Estate by Ayala Land is the hottest new travel destination in El Nido (for more on Lio Tourism Estate by Ayala Land, see my post on my other travel blog, Discover Lio El Nido...). After a half day of island hopping, a good steak and a cold beer seems just about right to end the day.
Located at the beach, Pukka Bar is ideally situated at the center of the action, with a panoramic view of the beach. Enjoy your ice-cold beer with some live music, and you're in the island groove in no time. After a few rounds of beer, it's time to settle down with some good eats...
Start with Pukka Bar's Nachos Bowl Supreme (P 180), crisp nachos served with a mildly spicy and cheese bean dip...
...followed by crispy deep-fried and battered Calamares (P 200) with a sweet and sour chili dip. After quick work on the nachos and calamares, have another round of beer and pair it with something fresh, with clean and briny notes.
Like Pukka Bar's Kinilaw (P 230), fresh fish marinated in vinegar and calamansi and topped with a sweet and tart mango salsa. Then, you're about ready for the mains...
The Chicken Cordon Bleu with Fries (P 250) combines tender and juicy chicken with a lightly crisp outer layer smothered with cheese for bold flavors.
And here's the beef. Pukka Bar's Ribeye Steak with Fries and Mixed Salad (P 750) tastes as good as it looks, with all the beefy flavors you love in a perfectly grilled and seasoned steak. This and a cold beer...just can't get better than that.
If you're lookig for some pork love, the Pukka Pork Spare Ribs with Fries (P 300) should do the trick. With its mildly sweet and smoky glaze, the juicy pork ribs bursts with flavor with every bite. Another beer? Yes, please...
Pukka Bar also offers a variety desserts to cap your feast on a high note. El Nido's hottest new travel destination has everything you want to satisfy your cravings, right here at the Lio Tourism Estate by Ayala Land.
