Y Road Restaurant

Y Road Restaurant is a family-run Filipino eatery in Lazi, serving everything from small plates to full meals alongside coffee, beer and spirits.

4.6/5 on 281 Google reviews. Y Road is a family-run house north of Lazi centre, at the junction that gives it its name. This is not a tourist table: it is lutong bahay, Filipino home cooking, and that is precisely what sets it apart.

What to order: the lechon kawali comes up most often, described as melting. Then the grilled tuna, the chicken curry, the sinigang, the pancit, the chicken sisig, the sizzling chicken, the chili crab, the spicy squid, the seafood platter. To drink, the cucumber lemonade is named specifically. Beer, spirits and coffee are also served.

Portions are generous and built for sharing. Every review returns to the same point: the quantity served for the price is surprising. No priced menu is published, but the value for money is unanimous.

Cash only. Bring notes before heading up.

Opening hours: be careful. TripAdvisor lists 9am-7.30pm, Google indicates a closure around 5pm. That is a two and a half hour gap and neither source is dated. Do not turn up in late afternoon without calling first: +63 936 830 5267.

Good to know: the place takes a little effort to find, several guests mention it. Takeaway and delivery available, parking on site.
