About
The menu of Vietnamese cuisine under the direction of the popular chef is gorgeous here. It's easy to find this restaurant due to the great location. Good salads can be eaten here. Delicious piña colada is among the tastiest drinks to try. The appealing staff welcomes visitors all year round. But many guests who use Google didn't grant District El Nido a high rating.

Today we tried a recommendation from another traveler outside the restaurant. The meals were good and delicious BUT the portions were too small. It’s definitely too expensive for that what you get. The flavour is not all. There must be a good relationship between the price and the food. So we payed for all three portions about 20 EUR (~1200PHP). And we were still hungry after that visit. That’s a pity. Especially we ordered extra fries… . Service Dine in Meal type Dinner

Pretty authentic Pho, but not when it comes to the size of the portion. Good and tasty cocktails, quite cheap during the long happy hour. (Buy one, drink two). Free WiFi.
Wow, I have not ever experienced a meal so bad. I am not in the habit of writing reviews good or bad but this one needs to be written. We ordered what we thought might be 2 Vietnamese dishes. Chicken salad and Tofu with minced pork with veggies. What they brought out was a sweet soup like concoction with floating bits of pork fat and tofu? The chicken salad was chopped cabbage, very dry with little or no dressing or sauce or flavor to speak of, with dry pieces of boiled chicken. We immediately asked to cancel the rice we ordered as they had not delivered it to the table. We then asked for the bill as we could not eat anything. They came to the table and apologized but presented us with the bill for the whole meal including the rice that was never delivered to the table. We paid the bill and left. They did not handle this situation well at all. We were fine paying for what we ordered but at least they could have removed the rice from the bill. Please do your restaurant a favor and remove the Vietnamese items from your menu. Its hurting your business. I can NOT recommend this place for the Vietnamese food. Hopefully they might have other menu items that would be better.
The best cocktails we’ve had on our whole 3 week trip in the Philippines, particularly the mango daiquiris. We will definitely be back to try the food next time!

This place has amazing food! Might be slightly pricey for the amount of food, but totally worth it give the quality and flavor. Highly recommend the kinilaw, grilled and sizzling squid and spicy calamari/prawn tempura. Great vibe as well! Live music some nights. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
While the staff was friendly, we found the place lacking any real appeal. The disco/ bar. Was very loud. And very empty, 4 nights in a row. It just doesn't have that wow factor. Which we experienced in other restaurants/ clubs. ElNido is a place of long-lasting positive memories and adventure. District reminded me of a restaurant in Hong Kong. Where we hammered out business deals. Would not recommend. Not unless you in ElNido to settle contrats Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
Absolutely beautiful fresh seafood meals. The grilled squid was magnificent. Staff were friendly and happy hour bonus. We are looking forward to returning for the seafood platter. Enjoy Service Dine in Meal type Dinner
Definitely some of the best cocktails I had in Philippines. Some staff came from hotel backgrounds. Great starting point before moving onto clubs.
Coming from someone who has eaten Pho in 50+ restaurants all over the world, including Vietnam. This is by far the worst Pho i’ve tasted.
