When we arrived, since it was raining, the staff escorted us and give us umbrellas The food may take so long (30-40min waiting), but it tastes so good. The staffs are so kind, they let us bring our pet thank you Genaro's
Located in Baclayon and their landmark is a Carabao statue. Once you enter the place there are parking space for cars and motorcycle. The staff were friendly and have smiles on their faces which was really pleasant. My parents are their regulars so they already know them as well. They have lots of choices from isaw, seaweeds, pork, chicken, seafood. And a choice if you would like it to be grilled, fried and cooked as a soup. They have a lot of table seatings under a roof and you can also request to be in their open area and enjoy the star gazing. They also have a little fireplace if you feel cold. There is an acoustic band which will play while you eat your food. Food wise, it’s heavenly. The taste of grilled isaw with sauce , wherein you cannot taste the bitter part of it was . The pork bbq as well as tender. The seaweed branch (as what i call it) - i did not expect the serving to be like a lot for me . The panga (fish) was also good! Soft and grilled to perfection. The squid was also cooked perfectly and the pansit was really good! I have to add more on my plate since it was juicy, tasty and screams for more.
The food is very good and the service is very attentive. However be aware that there is always karaoke (at least the times we were there) and the volume is very loud. You will be forced to choose between the acoustic torture if you seat outside or being frozen in an aircon room. We found ourselves in that type of situations also in other restaurants in the Philippines. Luckily, although the volume was loud, the people sang extremely well and we enjoyed our dinner there :)
My father celebrated his birthday in Kusina Genaro. I have nothing but positive feedback in terms of good ambiance, generous portions, delictable food and the staff’s attentiveness. They take great care in both the quality and presentation of their dishes. Overall, a wonderful place for anyone looking for a great meal at an affordable price. Huge parking space is also a plus! Highly recommended!
Hands down the best Filipino food in Bohol! Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors, cooked to perfection, and served with a warm smile. The customer service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. If you’re looking for a true taste of Filipino cuisine combined with exceptional hospitality, this is the place to be. Can’t wait to come back!
First time to visit here... I love the place it's so chill and cozy... Good for family with kids because it's "smoke free". The food is good. And serve very fast. Love the feels that the singers give while eating. The staff we're very kind and hospitable! I would love to go back here during day time, to see how beautiful the entire place is. Minus one star only because the restroom is dirty. I'm very particular to hygiene that's why I always check how clean the restroom whenever I have a chance.
During our educational trip, we had the pleasure of having lunch at Kusina Genaro, and it was a memorable dining experience. The food was delicious and satisfying. A standout dish was the Pancit Baclayon, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The Sinigang had just the right balance of sourness, warming and comforting, while the Barbecue was tender, juicy, and well-marinated. Overall, Kusina Genaro offered a great meal that added to the enjoyment of our trip. Highly recommended for a hearty local dining experience!
Kusina Genaro in Bacalayon is a must-visit! The outdoor atmosphere with live music creates the perfect vibe. Choosing proteins from the bins to grill adds a fun twist, and I always go for the Marlin and pork skewers!! Service is impeccable, and my son adores their play yard. It's always our first stop in town!
