Don Juan Boodle House

Around Manila


Adjacent to the Taal Market, Don Juan specialises in boodle – a shared banquet served on a banana leaf and comprising variations on adobo and Taal regional specialities such as sinaing na tulingan (native mackerel) and tawili (freshwater lake fish). If you're not in a boodle-fighting group, go for one of the rice dishes or inahaw (grill) plates.
