When you are craving for some Ilocandia cuisine, you only think of a few restaurants in Metro Manila that offers this kind of food. Good thing that we found one in Pasig!
Inapuyan or "Innapoy" which means "rice" in Ilocos and "Inapuyan" that means "flamed" or "grilled" is where the name itself originated. This is the idea of the Ilocano businessman and Pateros-based engineer co-owners of the restaurant.

Their menu is mainly Ilocano dishes, mixed and modernized by their signature fusions of food.
You will also notice the nostalgic ambiance of the whole place from it's exterior, to it's interior design and even to their staff who wears straw hats (fedora-style) in uniform. It will bring you back in the Spaniard colonial days.
The restaurant only started in July 2016 and it already gained popularity in Pasig. That's why me and my wife didn't have a second thought in visiting them.
INAPUYAN BESTSELLERS
Here are the food you to try at Inapuyan Resto Grill:
- 👍 Bagnet Kare Kare (the best pati bagoong 👍)
- 👍 Sinigang na Lechon
- 👍 Bagoong Fried Rice Omelette
- 👍 Pateros Seafood Express (our favorite)
- 👍 Crispy Dinuguan
FOOD REVIEW
Personally, I love all of the dishes we tried. My most favorite is their Kare Kare with Bagnet! I love the idea and the taste of its base in coconut. It is sweet and very tasty - kumbaga, sabaw palang ulam na! The bagnet was crispy outside but very tender inside. The vegetables complement with the base. The bagoong? If you are a fan of Barrio Fiesta, you will forget about it. Pramis! No kidding. I highly recommend you to try it.
It was also my first time to eat Sinigang na Lechon - YUP! It is the famous Filipino soup in which instead of having the regular chopped pork, it has lechon in it. The lechon? It was so tender where it can melt in your mouth. The soup was sour as expected. No wonder it is one of their bestsellers.
I also love their fusion of their seafood - the Pateros Seafood Express. Why is it called "Pateros"? The co-owner of Inapuyan from Pateros came up of the idea in adding "itlog na maalat" or salted egg in this dish, which is one of the main products in Pateros. I like it when they have it spicy - that's why they added the word "Express" in it. It's a good dish if you are into spicy and seafood.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Here, you can enjoy having the following:
- ✅ fully airconditioned
- ✅ parking space
- ✅ separate restroom for gents and ladies
- ✅ live acoustic band every night
- ✅ they also serve beers/alcoholic drinks
RESTAURANT REVIEW
The vibe of the restaurant can take you to the house in the Spanish era in the Philippines. The whole area is clean and airconditioned. They also have seats outside for smokers and for those who like to chill open air. They have regular live band performances every night. Beers and alcoholic drinks are also available.
TRIVIA: the antique windows hanging in the ceiling are personally chose and bought by the owners, having them as the Inapuyan icon. So whenever you their restaurants, you will notice these unique interiors.
