Discover the culinary gem of Subic Bay, where Magic Lagoon Bar & Grill offers a delightful dining experience with scrumptious food and swift service. Nestled by the water, this eatery presents a perfect blend of ambiance, taste, and hospitality that won't break the bank. With a picturesque setting and a menu that caters to diverse palates, Magic Lagoon is a must-visit for food enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.
When faced with the choice between the upscale Subic Bay Yacht Club and the more wallet-friendly Magic Lagoon, the decision is often guided by budget considerations. For a group pooling together a modest sum, Magic Lagoon emerges as the clear winner, offering a satisfying dining experience without the hefty price tag.
Upon arrival, guests are often greeted by the local wildlife, including geese that add to the charm of the place with their quacks and playful antics. For the best experience, diners are advised to choose a seat by the lagoon during twilight to avoid the midday heat. Proximity to the water does mean the occasional encounter with insects, but the restaurant is well-prepared with insect repellent and strategically placed blowers to ensure comfort.
Magic Lagoon's menu is a testament to its commitment to quality and taste. Popular orders include Filipino favorites like sisig, kaldereta, tuna steak, and salpicao, all served with a smile—a courtesy that is not always guaranteed in other establishments in the area. The Greater Subic Tourism Bureau (GSTB) might take note that such simple gestures can significantly enhance the dining experience.
One of the hidden gems on the menu is the Kinamatisang Talakitok, a dish that has been described as heavenly. Meat lovers will also appreciate the superbly prepared salpicao. The owner, Romy Tagle, is often present to ensure that guests' needs are met, adding a personal touch to the service.
For those seeking a more interactive dining experience, Magic Lagoon offers the unique opportunity to catch your own fish meal directly from the lagoon—a thrill exclusive to this establishment in Subic Bay. Moreover, the restaurant's 24/7 operation ensures that guests can enjoy its offerings at any time, day or night.
After an hour and a bill of 980 pesos, the verdict is in. Magic Lagoon is a place that deserves recognition for its exceptional food, ambiance, service, and value for money.
