About Saboroso Bistro
Saboroso Bistro brings a distinct regional Filipino experience to Ottawa, focusing on the cuisine of Iloilo — a province in the Western Visayas region of the Philippines with its own unique culinary traditions. Unlike other Filipino restaurants in the city, Saboroso's kitchen centres on Ilonggo flavours, giving Ottawa diners a rare taste of this regional style.
The restaurant grew out of a downtown Ottawa food stall, expanding into a full Kanata kitchen as its following grew. Today, Saboroso operates inside a CHICHA San Chen shared dining space on Eagleson Road, where guests can enjoy its signature Iloilo specialties in a casual setting.
What to Order
- Chicken Inasal — The Iloilo classic: grilled marinated chicken with its signature annatto-and-citrus flavour.
- Sizzling Plates — Served hot off the grill on cast iron for a dramatic presentation.
- Sisig — The crispy, savoury Filipino favourite.
- Rice Bowls — Hearty bowls built around Saboroso's signature proteins.
