Exploring the Enchanting Gubat QC

Gubat QC is a must-visit destination if you are a nature lover and enjoy dining in a unique ambiance. I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant ever since I first heard about it. Situated in the heart of Diliman, this hidden gem offers an extraordinary dining experience inspired by the tranquility of a forest.

Upon stepping into Gubat Restaurant, you are immediately transported to a serene oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The restaurant is surrounded by lush greenery, with a make-shift “pond” at the center filled with swimming fish and a turtle, creating a peaceful and enchanting atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. The inviting outdoor seating area allows you to immerse yourself in nature while enjoying your meal.

Kamayan Style

Gubat QC

It was fun eating here because of the Kamayan style. For my non-Filipino friends, it’s a traditional Filipino way of eating wherein we use our bare hands.
