"This is a pig that is cooked over hot coals until the skin splits open and then served with liver sauce. If you want to try Lechon, then Elar’s Lechon is a great place to eat."

Maida Pineda

"The entire pig is spit-roasted over coals, with the crisp, golden-brown skin served with liver sauce, the most coveted part. In Manila, folks can get their piggy from Elar's Lechon."

Grace Baja

"Elar’s Lechon. This was a big hit amongst the foreign chefs and delegates! And of course, I went back for seconds for that delicious Elar’s Lechon! I must say, the skin remained crispy throughout the night!"

"At the first glance, one might think that the skin is tough and chewy, but that fairly thick (but still very crunchy!), smooth skin has a generous layer of fat underneath which results in a wonderful explosion of flavors and textures after only one bite."

"What: An entire pig spit-roasted over coals, with the crisp, golden-brown skin served with liver sauce. Where: Elar’s Lechon, Quezon City, Metro Manila."

Jane Go

"Nothing beats Elar’s Lechon."

M. Paramita Lin

"Elar’s Lechon has been cooking highly rated lechon for over 50 years."

Kathryna de Bustos

"One of the go-to lechon joints in Metro Manila. Rest assured you won’t regret getting that last piece of crunchy skin. Fun fact: Elar's prides itself on the fact that it has served several presidential banquets at the Malacanang Palace."

"The skin on Elar's lechon is a tempting sight for roast pig lovers: perfectly roasted, bronzed, and with a nice orange hue. The smooth skin is crunchy in most parts, with an oily sheen that covers the roasted skin and a thin layer of fat hugs the skin from the bottom."
