Highway Restaurant, Padre Burgos, So. Leyte:
In a small town like Padre Burgos in Southern Leyte, a little effort goes a long way. Highway Restaurant is the first decent dining spot that is family friendly and effectively long-lasting.
It sits on a roadside fish pond and offers view of the pond, with occasional fishes, and the given greenery of the surrounding place.
Select tables are located in the middle of the pond. If you're lucky, you order, they cook, and serve the food immediately. At times, a staff may not get to list your order and some meals will not be prepared, so make sure they write it down, especially if you're with a big party.
A display of local materials are imminent upon entry. Bamboo chairs and tables, shell lamp, wooden beams and floors create one eco-happy structure.
A mini counter has few stock wines and beverages. It's where staff takes calls, take-out or advance orders, and inquiries, with a high stool for client.
Highway Restaurant often plays host to local receptions for weddings, birthdays and various events. There are quite a lot of tables available.

This constantly expanding resto attracts many foreign visitors in the area. An off bridge going to the extension dining tables adds a whimsy touch to the place.
