We got lucky when we got our table at the peak of lunch time. Their serving sizes are pretty decent. I was surprised to learn that their food is so affordable. The name and building structure looks intimidating and expensive, but they're actually not! Tasty food indeed! I will definitely go back here!

Nice place to visit when you are in Dumaguete. The interiors are very cozy, like a classic family home turned restaurant. I ordered the Sopa de Lentejas. It is a single serving soup but very hearty. I needed something light but substantial for dinner and this was the perfect choice. Of course, I also tried the Sans Rival. I only gave 3 stars for service because I felt at times that the servers are challenging to call. I was seated at the room, not the main hall. Servers would come through the door and into a small bussing station with their backs to the customers. Perhaps rethink the layout of the space so when servers use the bussing station or go through this space, they will be facing the customers seated in the room.

Lovely Bistro in a great location with super service. Food is tasty, freshly made and great value for money. We tried the pesto lasagne but unfortunately can't recommend it as it looked reheated by microwave. Everything else was great and especially the dessert options, of which there are many so save some space!

I recently had the opportunity to celebrate my despidida party at Sans Rival Bistro with my DOST Negros Oriental PSTO colleagues. We had a great time at the restaurant, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and affordable meal in a cozy and intimate setting. We ordered a variety of dishes for our party, including the bistro signature tapax mix, grilled malasugi, grilled barbeque spare ribs, and some other main dish. We also ordered mango mouse torte as dessert, and tropical fruit cooler as drinks. All of the food was delicious, and the portions were generous. I especially enjoyed the tapax mix, which was a unique and flavorful dish. The mango mouse torte was also delicious, and it was the perfect way to end our meal. In addition to the great food, we also enjoyed the excellent service at Sans Rival Bistro. Our server was attentive and friendly, and he made sure that we had everything we needed. He also took the time to answer our questions about the menu and the restaurant. We exclusively dined in a room on the second floor good for 10 persons. It was the perfect place to celebrate my despidida party. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Sans Rival Bistro. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal in a cozy and intimate setting.

Superb food. I was expecting to get a bill of more than 2k thinking about Manila prices but suprisingly the cost of food in Dumaguete is lower 🤗 paid less than 1500 for an appetizer, 3 full meal and a slice of cake. Service wise our food came all at once, which is great. No awkward moment of staring at someone's food while waiting for yours. Nice to start eating all the same time. Dont trust my photos 🤣 im not good at taking food pics, they look way better and bigger in person

The meals are a little plain for me and the serving is too little. But, the dessert and the atmosphere is commendable.

I like the place. A must eat and you have to buy their Silvannas to bring home as pasalubong. I love their outside area to chil land eat because the view is the boulevard and the sea.

Food is good Slow service Almost half of the menu is unavailable You'll need to wait for an hour for the food to be served. But if you're patience are enough you'll be rewarded with tasty food that melts in the mouth. Service can improve though
