To those who always eat out with family and friends inside malls, or in fast-food restaurants, please try eating inside hotel restaurants too. Here is an example of our dining experience, and here are some reasons why you should try:We were just going round and round inside Newport mall since we almost ate at the good restos there. So we tried eating inside a hotel restaurant. Belmont is a nice hotel, with friendly and accommodating staff at their doorstep and inside the resto itself. The restaurant is welcome to everyone, even walk-ins like us. The restaurant caters to more than 100 guests, but at that moment (weekend dinner), they were just accommodating 4 parties (including us). Anyway, we ordered the following:Seared Salmon Fillet (390.-) Green tea and sesame seed coated Norwegian salmon fillet in beurre blanc sauce served with poached haricot, carrots and steamed rice. Lechon Kawali (360.-) Popular Filipino pork belly dish, simmered til tender then deep-fried until golden and crispy. Perfect with chicken liver sauce. Blue Marlin Steak (390.-) Pan grilled and accompanied with mango salsa and garlic rice. The items that we ordered were perfectly cooked, well seasoned, served hot and last but not the least, matches its price. Would ce back for the Salmon - it's crispy skin and not overcooked meat. Again, please try to dine in at hotel restaurants! More spacious and almost-noise free! Like dining-in with class lol. ✌🏻️😊

Cafe Belmont is Belmont Hotel's flagship restaurant, where the breakfast buffet is set up. Green and deep mocha chairs are paired per table. It was almost empty during our visit, save for 4 other patrons occupying 2 other tables. Interiors were standard hotel finish, but lacking some warmth in some blank walls since it has no natural source of light.
