Restaurant View

My family really loves boodle bundles. As we ate boodle at La Felomina Seafood and Grill. Boodle bundles are really a thing in a seafood restaurant just like at Stone Grill Restaurant of Bato and Maison De Clarke of Hilongos.

The place has many cottages to choose from. You can see some mangroves together with the vast ocean. They also decorate the place when an event is coming like Valentine’s Day.

They recently have a live band that sings at 11:00am. Try to visit the place at that time.

What I really want with the boodle bundle is that it is worth it the price or bang for the bucks. Their boodle bundle consists of shrimp, crab, fish, shells and rice. If you have an allergy though, I suggest to bring your medication. You will be tempted.

We also tried ordering different dishes and what I really love when ordering one is that you can pick the fish and ask them to cook it in ways you want considering the cook knows how to cook it.

Overall, the restaurant’s foods are very delicious and you will leave this place feeling satisfied and full.

Estimated time to spend in the place?

You will spend around 1 hour – 2 hours in this place.
