"Oh I only have good things to say about this place; all the taste of delicious traditional Filipino food without the street "ifiness" in matters of hygiene. They have a delicious artisan draft beer as well, yummy desserts and sitting outside, where you can go for a vape, if that's your thing, or simply appreciate the view at Manila's BGC gentrified district. A must for expats and other foreigners."

"We booked this place for a birthday celebration. The waiting time wasn’t too long, as they began serving appetizers right away, followed gradually by the rest of our orders. I enjoyed most of the dishes—they offered an elevated take on classic Filipino cuisine. One downside, however, was that many of the dishes were quite oily, which was a bit off-putting. Still, in terms of flavor, everything was really good. The service was also commendable."

"I recently visited Locavore BGC for a quick merienda and had a fantastic experience. I ordered their champorado and gabi chips, and both left a strong impression. The service was fast and smooth, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The gabi chips were a standout, perfectly crispy with a savory dressing and a delightful smoky aftertaste that kept me reaching for more. The champorado, however, stole the show with its sheer size! As a solo diner, I was shocked by the generous portion, clearly meant for sharing. The dish itself was exceptional, with a rich, comforting flavor. The addition of evaporated and condensed milk on the side allowed me to customize it to perfection. The dried fish floss topping added a savory, slightly salty kick that beautifully balanced the dish’s richness. Overall, Locavore BGC delivered bold flavors, generous portions, and excellent service. I’d highly recommend it to anyone craving elevated Filipino comfort food"
