If you want to experience a truly elevated dining experience, you should check out Tio Julian's Restaurant located at San Fernando, Pampanga. Recently, I've been craving for some paella but since my hubby doesn't have time off from work and my big belly just won't allow me to venture into restaurants alone, I went to check on some of my notes which I got from Tio Julian Entrante when they invited us bloggers during their launch, to check if they cater to go orders and yes they do. They entertain customers dining in, ordering to go, catering and they're also open as an events place. By the way, I owe Tio Julian an article last year when I attended their event so let me blog about them before getting my order. :)
One of my blogger friend told me that Tio Julian's Restaurant's Paella ni Elena was hailed as the best paella in town and they still stand with their decision until now.
Sadly I wasn't able to try their Paella but they provide great quality food on their lineup during the launch.
Appetizers were served while we're waiting for the program to start.
I especially like the ambiance of the place a sit looks like a first class restaurant but their line of food was affordable. The program started with a little introduction by Sir Jonas Manahan, the owner of the restaurant.

I admit that I had difficulty in posting this event because I lost my photos and fortunately they're recovered so I want to extend my apologies to Tio Julian and Sir Jorge. I also have problems with my blog and I'm thinking of shifting to a different layout this time so that it would be faster in dealing with blog posts. Nevertheless, I'm inviting you all to try Tio Julian which is located at Km 72 MacArthur, San Isidro, San Fernando, Pampanga. I'm sure you'll be delighted with the food and place. They're also open for events and such!.

Everything looks damn yummy. Specially the appetizers!!
ReplyDeleteI actually appreciate the appetizers more haha. But everything's delish tho.
DeleteLamb, pasta and the dessert - I want to try it.how much are these btw?
ReplyDeleteThese were the menu for the launch so they're exclusively given to the guests. No price were indicated though.
DeleteMouth-watering! At first I got scared cause the ambiance already tells that the food is going to be expensive :D
ReplyDeleteYou're right! I also had the initial thought when I first entered the place that it's such an expensive place. It looks so posh and high end but tbh their food (when I checked their menu) was really affordable for the service and the taste. Totally worth it! Actually planning our next visit :)
DeleteI must say, I love your new header! The resto seem to serve fresh food, and it really caught my eye. Good place in Pampanga!
ReplyDeleteYes. They did and everything's yummers! Thanks. Just got my new layout last Sunday.
DeleteThat salmon looks amazing! I love to get fish when we are at a restaurant because I can never cook it right. It always ends up over or under cooked.
ReplyDeleteTry using Philkraft! It's so great that you'll save yourself up from overcook or undercook food. :)
DeleteFood, food, glorious food!!! <3 All of them looks scrumptious. The seared salmon and the rack of lamb with mint jelly looks (and sounds) very interesting to eat. :)
ReplyDeleteThose two are love. The lamb fells off the bone! Definitely a must-try!
DeleteThose food really looks expensive and mouthwatering. I wonder how much they cost.
ReplyDeleteExclusive for the event sis but they're super good!
DeleteEverything looks delish! You are right, the place looks posh. You should try their paella on your next visit.
DeleteI will. Actually planning our next visit.
DeleteI need to go to Pampanga now and check this place. Food paradise! The Rack of Lamb with Bordelaise Sauce and Mint Jelly on Potato Mash, Caramelized French Beans and Carrots is just heavenly! :)
ReplyDeleteEvery place in Pampanga is food paradise. I have shared more food getaway in this blog about resto in Pampanga. I hope you can check that out.
DeleteI am planning to visit Pampanga soon. Maybe,i will going to check this restaurant. Do you know the price range of their menu?
ReplyDeleteJust the regular cost from the normal type of restos ranging from a 100 to 500.
DeleteThe food looks yummy and has elegant presentation. The restaurant indeed looks first class but you said it is affordable, I wonder what are their food price range?
ReplyDeletePerhaps if I can visit the place again, I will share another blog post from them.
Deleteall the food looks really appealing! Of all the dishes here, that Nena's Delight is what I love the most! I will definitely keep this place in mind anmd hopefully I'll get a chance to visit Pampanga soon ^_^
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot to explore here in our province. You can message me anytime for queries once you're here. :)
DeleteThe food here looks like something you would get out of a 5 star restaurant! The rack of lamb with mint jelly and Nena's delight are a couple of things I'm looking forward to check out! How much is the average price of dishes here though? Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteThe menu present during the launch are exclusive for the guests.
