We had an amazing night celebrating a 40th birthday at Pyesta! The food and service was outstanding, they went above and beyond for us! The karaoke was great fun. A real hidden gem. We will definitely be returning and spreading the word about how fab this place is!

This was our first time visiting Pyesta, it certainly won’t be our last, from the moment we arrived the staff were fabulous, attentive, knowledgeable and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, the ambiance was delightful. We all had a wonderful evening.

First time here and had a great time. Food was lovely and drink not a rip off which only added to a great night out. Some of the karaoke singers were excellent adding to a great atmosphere. We will certainly be returning soon.

Had an excellent meal at Pyesta on Sunday evening. The staff were friendly and the food excellent. The Bicol Express was especially good. Just a shame it was so quiet - there was no-one else in the restaurant and it was a real shame. Hope it's normally busier!

My husband and I visited Pyesta on a Friday night for a change after reading the reviews and we were not disappointed. Friendly and attentive service, delicious food and thoroughly entertaining karaoke (and I don't do or enjoy karaoke!) Everyone was out for a good night and certainly got it. We were there for the food and loved all of it. We'll definitely be back (although slightly earlier as the kitchen closed before we could order desert. We were seated by 8.15pm).

It was so nice to have lunch in a relatively small but lovely friendly restaurant. It's not often you look at a menu these days and see items that are genuinely new to you. We opted for a selection of starters because we wanted to try so many. They were all tasty and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

All of our food came at once - starters mains and desserts despite preordering. No room on the table for it all so uncomfortable to eat. Several of the dishes were cold and some were over cooked or very bland. No one came to take drinks orders and we had to chase someone every time we wanted to order drinks. The karaoke part was outstanding though and a great atmosphere - I would probably come again just for that but the food and service were mediocre. First time eating Philipino food so maybe that’s just how it is.

This was our first visit, only became aware of this, due to Facebook knowing i eat out a lot. We had the chicken skewers, chicken adobe, pork belly, mango salad and rice. Now, normally when you try somewhere new, the odd dish isn't to your fancy. All of these were fantastic, so tasty and we'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite. Lovely evening, will definitely be back.

The food was very good. The staff were welcoming and friendly. As it was a Saturday we were unaware of the karaoke night. Service was very difficult after that. We waited 40 minutes to be able to place a dessert order. Would recommend

We ordered from the lunch menu. Two Adobo one pork and one chicken. From the breakfast selection, a longganisa and a tocino. They came with a refreshing manga manga salad. The food was very tasty. We hadn't had Filipino food before but would recommend trying it here. The mural on the wall was beautiful. Very colourful.

This was our first visit to Pyesta and it won’t be the last! The food was delicious, fresh-tasting, full of flavour. I could happily have eaten anything on the menu! And the waitress was charming, fun and attentive, but not annoyingly so. Nice comfortable chairs too. We thought it was very good value.

Spent the early afternoon from 6-8 at Pyesta for my wedding anniversary. Loved the food, some great tasting dishes and the staff are all friendly and conscientious. A great restaurant with great vibes. I've been before and stayed later for the karaoke which was really fun too!

Had a lovely time here, food was amazing and the owner(?) was really friendly and passionate about the food which was so refreshing! Great decor and looking forward to going again! Only marked down slightly for service (as it was a Sunday lunchtime so a bit slow between courses but understandable!) and value (but everywhere is about the same at the moment! Maybe a lunch deal option would be a good idea). Thank you for an amazing meal!
