If you’re done with your Gigantes Island tour, one of the best stop over before you head back to the city is Dafalong’s Garden Cafe to try their Chicken Pecho Inasal. Inasal is an Iloilo term for “char grilled” or roasted meat”.
Trust me, if you’re looking for a great chicken meal around Iloilo you’ll thank me later. The cafe also has an exquisite garden that you can explore for a minimal fee!
✨The cafe is 3 hours away from Iloilo City and people visit it mainly for its beautiful garden. It’s an hour and a half from Bancal Port where Gigante Island tours usually take off.
✨Most of the inasal options around Iloilo city are either a food chain or those that serve native chicken. What sets Dafalong’s Garden Cafe is the size of the chicken and the flavorful play of the dish. Nothing too experimental, it just hits the right spot.
As of writing this inasal plate goes for P205 (for Paa or thigh part) to 215 (for Pecho, or breast part).

Other Details:
✅ The meal was homey plus it has a relaxing view of rice ponds and mountains.
✅ We actually first noticed the place when we were on our way to the port for our Gigantes Island Tours and noted the name for reference on our way back.
✅ We especially loved their landscape of flowers, it was lie a slice of paradise in an unassuming spot hours away from the city.
Parking Availability And Tips:
You may park on the side of the road as the area is not too busy.
We’ve tried a number of places that offers inasal around Iloilo City as we were kind of expecting that maybe since Iloilo is just a boat away from Bacolod (known for chicken inasal), we may find an inasal gem that’s truly worth noting.
It was only when we check out this place after our Gigantes Islands Tour that we were truly satisfied! Most of the chicken inasal options in the city served native chickens which were small in size.
You can find the menu of Dafalong’s Garden Cafe here. It would be best to message their Facebook page to check for the current prices and schedule.
We also loved their Chorizo Pasta!
TIP: Waze and Google Map may show you a number of Dafalong Gardens, but it would be best to look for Dafalong’s Garden 2 to find the cafe and to check, see if it is around “Brgy. Bagacay, San Dionisio, Iloilo City, Philippines”.
