Voted many times as the best restaurant in Western Visayas (the most recent of which was during the Regional Tourism conference in Bacolod City last November), Breakthrough slowly but surely broke the monopoly of its more famous neighbour, Tatoy's. Now a destination itself, its main dining area and cottages along the seashore offer a relaxing ambiance.
As far as I can remember, it started in an obscure location before having this famous seaside branch and expanded in foodcourts. They had their first branch inside the Lopez arcade more known as the Don Benito hospital. I can still vividly remember peering out and seeing its signboard whenever the jeepney passes the area.
That's as far as I can recall back then and then it just came out of nowhere and became a landmark in the seaside district of Villa.
Having been there countless times, our lot always include a fish called "managat" (wherein its head is made into a soup while the body grilled), sizzling crabmeat, grilled scallops and lechon. They serve like turo-turo style when you order then presents it hot after 15minutes. Gives you time to enjoy the view and take pictures before enjoying your meal. Packed mostly during lunch and dinner especiall at weekends, its nice to have been there during its offpeak hours like 3pm.
Around 30minutes from downtown taking Calumpang jeepneys along Ledesma Street or just aound 90 pesos by taxi from downtown and SM city areas.
Their newest branch is a restaurant named DAPLI (ulam) located at La Salette Building in front of SM Delgado. A much more convenient place since its right within the heart of the city. Its turo turo style with a wide variety of dishes. Peak hours start around 1130 to around 130pm. My order usually includes pata or KBL. Or both as shown below.
