Taste the Philippines at River Village! 👌

🌴 River Village Resort & Restaurant – A Foodie Escape by the River in Bolinao 🌊 If you're looking for a peaceful riverside retreat in Pangasinan with great Filipino food, stunning natural views, and a few fun outdoor activities — River Village Resort & Restaurant in Bolinao checks all the boxes. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the calming sight of Ilog Malino, lined with coconut trees and gentle waters perfect for kayaking. But let’s be honest — it was the food that stole the show! 🍽️ What We Ordered 🥜 Kare-Kare Thick, peanuty, and served with a generous helping of vegetables — this kare-kare was comforting and flavorful. The bagoong on the side? Salty, savory perfection! 🦑 Crispy Calamares Perfectly golden and crunchy outside, tender on the inside. Topped with fresh scallions for that little punch. We could’ve easily ordered a second plate! 🦐 Seafood Cajun A bold, saucy mix of shrimp, crab, mussels, corn, and squid — tossed in a sweet-spicy Cajun glaze. It was messy in the best way and full of flavor. A definite must-try if you love seafood with a kick. 🥦 Beef with Broccoli Savory and saucy — a comforting classic elevated by the resort’s house-style seasoning and crunchy fried garlic bits. 🚣‍♀️ Kayaking on the River - After the feast, we went kayaking along the calm river — peaceful, scenic, and super Instagram-worthy. It’s a great activity to do before (or after) your meal. The lush greenery and palm-lined banks made the whole experience feel like a tropical getaway. ✅ Overall Experience Food: 10/10 – Everything we tried was flavorful, well-portioned, and beautifully plated. Ambience: Laid-back, natural, and family-friendly. Service: Warm and accommodating. Activities: Kayaking, fish feeding, riverside lounging — simple fun that hits the spot. 📍 Final Thoughts River Village Resort & Restaurant isn’t just a place to eat — it’s a whole experience. Whether you're there for a quiet meal by the water or some light adventure with friends or family, it offers something that feels both homey and special. Pro tip: Come hungry. And maybe pack an extra shirt for kayaking. 😄 💡 Best for: Seafood lovers, families, barkadas, and couples looking for a quiet escape. 📍Ilog-Malino, Bolinao, Pangasinan
