In-Yo's a relatively new old-house-turned-resto serving "fusion cuisine." It'd make for a great date place--romantic and cozy, nothing too fancy, but not too casual; not food-court-budget level but not anniversary level (when people are "expected" to splurge) either. The house/resto is set back some meters from the gate, leaving some parking space out front. The resto itself occupies two floors; the area on the second floor (where we stayed) must have been a bedroom once.
It's been so long that I can't quite remember what we ordered and I seem to have misplaced my notes--as far as I can recall, I had gindara with some honey sauce and it was pretty good--sweet and tender. H had salpicao, good but nothing spectacular. The place is interesting though in that they often change their menu, we were told. So drop in every few weeks or so to see what's new.
From top: In-Yo at night...OK, so it looks a bit like a haunted house in this picture, but it's actually quite pretty. There are vines dripping from a big tree bedecked with lights (that is, if it held up against Milenyo); water runs under a little bridge you have to cross to get to the entrance. Gindara on a bed of mashed potatoes (they kinda look like little footprints, don't they?). Salpicao served with rice and fried egg.
In-Yo is located at 66 Esteban Abada Street, Loyola Heights, Quezon City. Contact them through (02) 426-0301 or 0920-9607202.
P.S. I heard Cafe Xocolat also opened in the area, also in an old converted house. Maybe head over there for dessert afterwards--a fondue for two, perhaps?
