*My Favorite restaurant, 5WINS in Madridejos (at the top of the Island) has Closed in late 2008, due to the death of my friend Archie who owned 5Wins with his wife for a number of years.
Our Condolenses & Prayers go out to Archie's Family; we'll miss you.
FIVE Wins Restaurant: 463 Conception Street - landline tel: +63-32-439-8501 & 8502
Located behind the Plaza at 463 Conception Street in the town of Madridejos, is a little restaurant called Five Wins - it’s a small local place with plastic tables & chairs, and the food is great - and very inexpensive.
The menu is extensive (Filipino & some Japanese favorites; beef/pork/chicken) with my personal favorites being the sweet & sour pork - you can get it as an appetizer for P40, or if you ask, they’ll double the serving and make it a dinner, for only P60 - it’s absolutely delicious and totally filling.
That P60 dish at the hotels & restaurants in Santa Fe is about P120/P150+, and all the 5 Wins dishes are priced much lower like that; the food is fresh & cooked to order, with very attentive service.
Better food than any of the local Canterias, and just about as cheap.
How to get to FIVE Wins:
Take the highway from Santa Fe all the way up into Madridejos at the top of the Island; aprox. a 40-45 minute motorcycle ride.
…stay straight on the main road all the way into Madridejos and you’ll eventually come to their huge outdoor “Plaza” (park) which will be on your right hand side.
…take your first right past the Plaza, then your next right, and Five Wins is located all the way down the street, on the left.
