What to Order at Nonie's — The Dishes Worth Flying to Boracay For

An honest, specific guide to the menu — written like a friend's recommendation. The kare-kare, the sticky ribs, the pandan pancakes, and everything in between.

People ask us constantly: what should I order? Usually while standing at the host stand, menu already open, and we've got about twenty seconds to answer. This is the long version of that answer, for anyone who'd rather know before they sit down.

Start here: The Kare-Kare

If you order one thing here, make it the kare-kare. It's a three-day process — slow-simmered peanut sauce, oxtail and vegetables cooked until they barely hold their shape — served with bagoong on the side. If you've never had kare-kare, this is a fair place to start. If you have, you already know.

The Sticky Ribs

Sweet, lacquered, falling off the bone. The sticky ribs are the dish that makes people take a photo before they eat it, then finish the plate before they remember to post it. Served with a small side of pickled vegetables that cuts the sweetness.

Breakfast: the pandan pancakes

Part of the breakfast buffet, and the thing most guests mention when they come back. Pandan-infused batter, cooked until golden, served with local honey and a small pat of butter. Lighter than they look, and gone faster than you expect.

The kombucha

Brewed in-house and on tap. Flavours rotate, so ask what's on today. The house blend leans floral and slightly dry. If you're used to the sweet commercial stuff, expect a surprise.

Happy Hour (2:00 PM – 6:00 PM)

Fifty percent off classic cocktails, every day. The bar team knows what they're doing: get the sour if it's just you, the margarita if the table's sharing.
