Place is very nicely decorated. Love it. However, the food is nothing to write home about. For the price you are paying, it should be cooked fresh. Unfortunately, it appears to be microwaved as iit is served to you about 2 minutes after you order it. Such a shame as this could easily be the best restaurant in Dgte if... More

Whenever I have guests, I usually bring them to this unique and interesting quiet respite. Most often than not, one gets to enjoy an array of dishes--from chicken, pork, beef, fish down to mouthwatering desserts--which is a welcome thought in a city that is bedecked with fastfood chains. Personally, my favorite is the Oriental shrimp noodles which is a witty... More

The hubby dragged me here gleefully skipping along the way. He couldn't stop raving about the adobo and after taking a bite, I must say it's really, really good. The twice-cooked chicken adobo was tender, juicy and flavorful. The sauce was packing the flavor. It's one of those dishes where you can't help but order extra rice and say "sauce... More

Hmm..the food is great especially when you are with someone or in groups...the place is so unique and awesome since the owner of it are somehow in half spanish blood and the family are artists so everything looks artistic! The food served would please you so much although it comes with a bit high price. http://tablespoonofflavors.wordpress.com More

I've been here often and most of the time I've enjoyed the food. The Asian Fusion is one of my favorites as well as the mini burgers. As mentioned by others, the service is often not very good or not at all. Even when you order say a bottomless drink, they never come back to see if you need a... More

I realizedit when... More

Thanks to TripAdvisor! Gabby's is a piece of the US in the PI! Great decor and atmosphere, the place is well frequented by locals . . it's simply the best eating experience in D'gte. A lot has been said above, I agree entirely. Just don't miss it, if you're in town a while, chances are - you'll keep going back! More

Gabby's Bistro is named after the young owner/chef Gabby del Prado. I think Gabby is a very experimental chef when it comes to his food. This resto has been one of me and my boyfriend's favorite. Being a very young chef I think Gabby has introduced an alternative cuisine to the locals because he gives his food a twist in... More
