A new food hub for foodies has been slowly growing in the eastern part of Bacolod City. The development of the New Government Center and its up-and-coming projects like an esplanade is giving opportunities for more restaurants to set ground and improve their business, and one of them is the seafood market restaurant strip. The locals call this spot because of the long stretch of seafood restaurants lined up in the area. A few of them are Scarborough Seafoods, Enting’s Seafood Restaurant, East Pala-Pala Resto Grill, and Jak’s Seafood Place and Car Wash, and the venue’s variety makes it a perfect place for a food trip.

Want to feel like you are in a seafood festival while you enjoy your lunch? Then Diotay’s Eatery is the ideal place for you.

It feels like you are in a fiesta not just because of its festive, bright, and alive interiors but also because of its bustling and fun atmosphere. Diotay, in the local dialect, literally means “few,” but don’t get the restaurant wrong – they actually have large servings that will probably leave you in a food coma afterwards.
