Gerarda's Restaurant is ranked #9 in the "Ang Pinaka-Yummy in Bohol" list. It is located at #20 JS Torralba Street, Tagbilaran, Bohol.
Gerarda's used to be an ancestral house thus the home-y, rustic feel when you are inside the restaurant.
We ordered their best-sellers - Dinakdakan (Php 180), Adobong Nokos (Php 180) and Ube Kinampay Guisado (Php 150).
Bohol is known for a specific variety of Ube which is Kinampay - and since it was our first time to ever hear of it we wanted to try it. Their Ube Kinampay Guisado is sauteed Ube Kinampay and shrimp. Its sauce is similar to that of a Chop Suey. The kinampay itself is heavy on the stomach mainly because it is of carbohydrate content. We did not really appreciate this dish because we find it nakakaumay. Maybe if they added other greens on the dish or something, I'm not really a good cook to know what's missing hehehe
Next on our plate is their Adobong Nokos (squid). The squid meat was tender and sauce was just right but it was nothing out of the ordinary for us.
Their Dinakdakan uses pork belly instead of the usually exotic pig parts (like ears, tongue, etc) sprinkled with bits of crunchy chicharon. This dish is the clear best seller for us because of its delicious creamy with just the right kick of spicy sauce.
Overall, we recommend dining in Gerarda's for your classic Filipino food cravings when in Bohol.
