Bistro Coron


Bistro Coron was a top listed resto from the word of mouth of the locals of Coron Town. Bloggers who had been in this side of Luzon, also overrated this Bistro as one of the must place to eat when in town.



We followed our appetite and took hold from trying out this resto up until our last night when we had enough of local delicacies and started to miss the city menu which Bistro Coron specializing on.



It was an odd, tiny structure in the center of the small town. I even saw some laundry clothes hanging on the 2nd floor, one night we passed by.







At this point, we were already craving for the usual city junks_ pizza, ice cream, burgers, pasta, etc. The menu was loaded with everything we were looking for, at a price as costly as the city prices.
I figured that Coron Town's restaurants were expensive, opposite from  their low profile structures they seemingly sported. Fairly enough, it was surprising to find good, sophisticated foods in a tiny town. Credit it to the rising popularity of the town's tourism industry.



I was not sure if it was an isolated case, but we had experienced  a very low quality customer relations, courtesy of the waitress who served us that short night at Bistro Coron. It was a very unbecoming experience in the town which until that particular server of B.C., I was so impressed how tourist friendly everyone was. From the owners of the establishments down the tricycle drivers . This one from B.C. was quite odd!









We might had tried other food from the menu but the ill-tempered server short listed our order down to one drink each and a namesake pizza.
The server must rubbed the ill mood to us and we lost appetite to stay and finished our pizza. Another thing that turned us off was the presentation of the pizza. It was served bare in an old, seemingly abused tray. While the cheeses were flowing down the dirty tray. eeeekk.
Now, I couldn't share how the pizza rated cos I hardly took a bite of it. We asked for it to be taken out and the server charged us for the to-go-cutlery (plastic) . Even when we asked for ketchup/hot sauce. the server charged us. Whew! We ran as fast as we could from the place and tried to find some place to compensate for the thumbed down Bistro Coron.
p.s. : we donated the left over pizza, which was still a whole lot, to the vendors we saw first in street.
