I just want to make a disclaimer first before I start telling you about the Kinilaw. This article is not a paid advertisement for Bistro Coron. Their Kinilaw is just simply mind blowing and I couldn’t get over it.
We started looking for a nice affordable restaurant right after we found the hostel. We walked around and found out that the nearest carinderia was not as cheap as we expected and they didn’t have any seafood during that time. We decided to go to Bistro Coron instead.
We ordered De Mare or Tuna and Calamari Pizza. I just got this information from another blog and the author was raving about it which aroused my curiosity. A small one is around 8 inches in diameter and will cost you around P199.
My bud ordered Tanguige Fillet in Buttered Herb and Lemon Sauce and I forgot how much it cost.
And I ordered Kinilaw which cost me P145.
The Tanguige tasted ok. Not really amazing but just ok. The flavour of butter complimented the tangy taste of lemon and saltiness of the fish.
The pizza was great. I didn’t get to taste the calamari though for some reason I don’t know.
And came the Kinilaw. I was never a big fan of Kinilaw. But I’ve tried it a couple of times in the past and it was just ok. So I wasn’t really excited to try it because I was expecting that it would just taste like the other Kinilaw that I’ve tried in the past. But I was wrong. My mind was blown away by the flavours. I couldn’t even describe it. The spiciness of some chilli peppers complimented perfectly the flavour of coconut milk and vinegar. The meat of the fish was just perfectly cooked by the vinegar. It was indeed “heavenly.”
That was definitely the perfect start for a nice vacation.
Make sure to look for Bistro Coron when you go to Coron, Palawan and try it for yourself.

bistro coron is the worst place in coron… they threat their dogs better then their staff… they dont like filipino people….the food is not fresh at all…… don’t ask for friendly since they don’t know the meaning of friendly….. they suckssssssss talaga….
di ko naman sya napansin nung andun ako… thanks for your feedback…
Wasn’t able to drop by this place, but I remember you suggesting this place. Next time in Coron I wont pass the chance to try this place.

nagutom ako!!!
mouth watering..

calamari pizza sounds great. and the photo of the kinilaw. argh, nakakagutom naman itong blog carnival topic!
haven’t been to coron, but will surely check this out if i have a chance to go there 
nakakagutom kapag naalala ko
ang sarap lang magfood trip at maglakwatsa … i miss coron
mukhang masarap yung kinilaw… nagugutom na ako
sarap ng kinilaw nila !!!
Sarap! naglalaway na ako! It’s always best to have kinilaw right from the source (for freshness). Whenever I get the chance to go to Davao or GenSan or Zambo, Kinilaw is always my appetizer. Great with san mig light too!
I had the kinilaw because it sounded good — and went through the same explosive feelings you had for it. In fact, I came back a second time and just ordered it. I’ve got to try to make it at home now!
really amazing food
