L'Elephant Bleu Restaurant was ranked #2 in "Ang Pinaka-Yummy in Bohol" list so we had to try out their food even knowing that it may be expensive.
We walked our way to the restaurant and one would probably miss it if not for the bright blue elephant sign along the road. The exterior of the restaurant was dimly lighted, anyone would think twice to come in thinking that it might be closed.
The restaurant was cozy and rustic with wooden furnishings. They even have a mini courtyard where you can lounge in their sofa.
Most of the items in their menu are alien to us so we asked our waiter for food suggestions. I don't recall the exact names of the menu items though because I was not able to take a picture of their menu.
For our appetizer, we ordered their Mixed Tapas (Php 180) which is Spanish for appetizers. We don't know what's in it but we both loved it. Their greens and tomatoes were fresh, bruschetta were crispy and whatever toppings it had was so savory.
And for our main course, I ordered their Chicken Cordon Bleu (Php 280) while my husband ordered their specialty for the day, Prawn & Garlic Pasta (Php 420).
Their serving of Chicken Cordon Bleu was huge. I can even suggest this one good for sharing. The side vegetables were buttery and tender (I don't like the string beans though because it was stringy). The fried potatoes were flavorful. As for the chicken, its breading was quite tough for me and cheese inside was still firm. I was kind of expecting the cheese to be oozing out once I cut it.
And finally, the Prawn and Garlic Pasta also came in huge portion. The penne had just the right firmness and the prawns were sumptuous. The tomato-based sauce however was not garlic-y as we expected it to be. This dish was surprisingly expensive because of the tiger prawns.
Overall, we'd love to come back to have their Mixed Tapas again and maybe try out their other dishes.
