“ Went here after searching for restaurant near our hotel in Tagbilaran. The restaurant is situated in a quiet area of Tagbilaran. The ambiance of the restaurant is very cozy. It's a home that was converted to restaurant. There are pictures of their family, which is interesting for us. The place is clean and the staff are nice. We loved the food that we ordered, adobong pusit and mixed seafood. Serving is big and good for two to three persons. Price is same with restaurants in mall. Nice place for eating out with family/loved ones. Would like to try other dishes of we are going back to Tagbilaran. ”
“ Gerarda's Place is the best to go for Filipino Cuisine experience. We had seafood lunch over with my friend from Cebu and we did not regret coming here! I really love the their crabs and shrimp gambas! The service was excellent, the crew were very attentive and they even assisted me when an unexpected issue on my card took place. Overall, this is a perfect place for family, friends and large group of people to dine in. They have air-conditioned rooms too which i love especially during hot afternoon. Come and visit their branch in CPG and in Dauis. PS. Sulot gud imoha gebayad diri! Its worth the penny you paid for! ”

“ My father in-law loved Gerarda's. It feels like home... We always loved the food. The staff is always very kind, hospitable and quick to respond. Food is served fast. Loved that esp whenever we came here hungry. That's why I didn't have the chance to took a picture with all the food. The restroom is very clean. They also have tissue provided. Overall experience is great! All the time! ”
