A food haven for bacon lovers! *Restaurant is permanently closed*
Tucked along Wilson street in San Juan is Pig Tales Gastropub, a casual and cozy restaurant that prides itself for its bacon-infused dishes. From the name of the restaurant itself, you’ll get an idea that most of their dishes cater to pork-lovers. And with pork, comes crispy-fried bacon.
The rustic vibe, neutral colours and the geometrically-designed logo exudes a friendly ambiance. It’s a great place for quick lunch-outs with your workmates or for excellent grub and drinks after hours with your friends.
They reinvent classic comfort food dishes, mostly with bacon. According to the owner, 80-90% of their menu consists of bacon-inspired courses, but they also want to cater to people who can’t eat meat. Because of this, they have now added a few healthier options to cater their other customers.
Here are a few of their bestselling specialties:
Mozzarella Balls
Mozzarella wrapped in bacon with pomodoro
