Breakthrough Restaurant along Villa beach combines good food and good ambiance that makes it one of the first pitstops in Iloilo City's dining scene. Lunch and dinner times often makes this restaurant full to the brim as Ilonggos and tourists alike converge in this (mainly) seafood restaurant to enjoy one of te best things Iloilo can offer - good food at reasonable prices. That's why Breakthrough is among the top on my list of must-visit gastronomic places in Iloilo City.
And indeed those whom I e-guided do make it part of their itinerary and share almost the same sentiments after having a Breakthrough "experience". My most recent visitors had lunch at Breakthrough (after their 4 churches visit down south of Iloilo) and shared these photos. They even ordered my recommended food items!
Shrimp kilawin made it to the top of their list then sizzling crabmeat which "came back" everytime they burped (lol). Grilled scallops is also a staple order but I agree with them that the baked scallops at Tatoy's is much better. Nonetheless, Breakthrough offers more than good food but a good ambiance having to dine along a beach with the sound of the sea and a view of Gumaras island.
