Don Juan Boodle House Lipa - Batangas

Java rice was really good. Boodle fight on a budget. They had different sets to pick from. And a lot of add ons on the menu are available. Liempo was good.

Thought went into the ambience, which very Filipino, and is conducive for boodle fights, groups/families. There is a selection of combo packages for boodle fights. There is also an attempt to be more environment-friendly by encouraging use of bare hands (it is after all, a boodle house) and use of paper straw. My order was the grilled tilapia solo meal. The price, at PHP 119, was affordable, but the fish itself was hard and rubbery, and was bland. The wait staff, though friendly, were gathered as one group in one of the tables. Though the table was unoccupied, all customers were served their orders, it is distracting to see all wait staff using one of the tables during a lunchtime service.

We are a group of three families, totaling 20 people, who dined here. The atmosphere is very family-friendly, and the staff was accommodating, providing us with enough tables and chairs. We ordered the Boodle meals, which included a piece of tilapia per set, salted eggs, tomatoes, grilled chicken, squid, and watermelon. The Java rice was excellent! Overall, it was a great experience at an affordable price.

The food selection is excellent. The ambiance of the restaurant is peaceful, and they've effectively captured the Filipino vibe with their interior design. The staff is friendly and attentive to the needs of the customers.
