Flavors of El Nido: Go For A Winning Pair at Lio El Nido's Pair-A-Dice Burger Bar

A burger and salad, a cocktail and appetizer, whatever pair you choose, the odds are always good. At Pair-A-Dice Burger Bar...


Pair-A-Dice Burger Bar is one of the new dining establishments located inside the new Lio Beach Village in El Nido, offering a wide range of signature burgers and cocktails and everything in between for a winning pair. A cool cocktail, a hefty burger, and a sunset by the beach in El Nido, just can't get better than that...

Ayala Land's newest travel destination in El Nido, the Lio Tourism Estate is an expansive 325 hectare development with hotels, resorts, retail shops, residential communities and dining establishments built to blend with nature. Elegant accommodation can be found at Casa Kalaw (L), located at the heart of Lio Beach Village.


Ditch the five-hour drive from Puerto Princesa and fly direct to El Nido via Air Swift, and get your El Nido getaway started as soon as you board the new ATR42-600 twin turbo-prop aircraft.

The impressive Lio Tourism Estate by Ayala Land includes their own private airport (L) with a shuttle service to take you to Lio Beach Village in mere minutes. A sea port, transport terminal and jetty will soon be completed in the next few months. And in a few blinks, you've finally arrived at Lio, El Nido... 

The first eco-masterplanned integrated resort community in Palawan, with hotels, resorts, retail and dining establishments and residential communities, each one guided by principles of sustainability and inclusive growth with the least impact to the environment. It's the ideal base for your eco-adventures in El Nido. And when the sun sets, it's time for a cocktail and some good eats...


...and Pair-A-Dice Burger Bar is one of many new dining establishments with a front row seat to El Nido's epic sunsets (for more on Lio Tourism Estate, see my post on my other travel blog, Discover Lio El Nido...). Creative handcrafted cocktails, sumptuous burgers, and a beachfront view paired with a cool vibe, Pair-A-Dice Burger Bar gets you in the tropical groove in no time. Start with a refreshing Dirty Martini (P 250), the classic gin-based cocktail with vermouth, perfect with the sunset.


Feeling adventurous? The Pacquiao (P 300), a soothing cocktail with a knock-out punch blended with peach schnapps, blue curacao, coconut rum, tequila, pineapple juice, orange juice, cherry vodka, grenadine and spiced rum is the one for you.


The Banana Mudslide (P 250), with vodka, banana liqueur, milk, chocolate syrup, and sugar, is an indulgent sweet cocktail that's smooth and easy.


The classic Tequila Sunrise (P 200), with tequila, orange juice, and grenadine...


...and the Frozen Margarita (P 200), with tequila, lime, lemon, and triple sec, combine for a perfect tipple by the beach. With 23 cocktails to choose from, including the wittingly named Shark Attack, Victoria's Secret, Rip Tide, Jungle Juice, The Crazy Monkey, and Icy Igloo, plus a selection of beer, shots and whisky, Pair-A-Dice Burger Bar is the spot to enjoy a round or two with a satisfying meal in Lio, El Nido. 


Pair your cocktail with Pair-A-Dice Burger Bar's appetizers, including the Fried Mozzarella (P 450), served with a tart marinara dip, creamy bites with a crisp outer layer...


...and the refreshing Pair-A-Dice Salad (P 390), with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, peanuts, raisins, black olives and cheese. The peanuts and raisins add both texture and flavor to the salad, just one of the many surprises you'll discover in your El Nido getaway.


And if you're really hungry...


...the Party Platter (P 490) should do the trick, with French fries, onion rings, fried chicken, dynamite fingers, and dipping sauces. Time for another round of cocktails at Pair-A-Dice Burger Bar.


Light yet flavorful, the Mozzarella Tomatoes (P 350) is another tasty option at Pair-A-Dice Burger Bar, with baked tomatoes topped with mozzarella and fresh basil.


And here's the beef. Pair-A-Dice Burger Bar takes pride in their inventive burgers, mixing their own meat, baking their own bread, and creating their own sauces. The Pair-A-Dice Burger (P 450), a juicy beef patty topped with bacon, fried onions, sour cream, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, and BBQ sauce, bursts with a range of flavors with every bite, from smoky and savory, to creamy and tart with a subtle sweetness.


The Tokyo Teriyaki (P 390) is another playfully inventive burger creation by Pair-A-Dice Burger Bar, with grilled pineapple, fried onions, cheese, lettuce, tomato and teriyaki sauce. The sweetness of the pineapple and teriyaki sauce play well with the savory richness of the beef, capped by the creamy cheese and garden-fresh lettuce and tomato.


Drawing inspiration from Asian flavors, the Blazin' Asian (P 390) combines unique Asian notes in a seamless blend, with coriander leaves, cumin, curry powder, cayenne pepper, and mango salsa. Layers of mild sweetness and just the right level of spice coats your palate, becoming even more intense with the second and third bites.


Craving for a burger with a cool tropical vibe? The Hawaiian (P 390), with bacon, cheese, grilled pineapple, lettuce, and secret sauce is Pair-A-Dice Burger Bar's answer. Pair it with  smooth Pina Colada, and enjoy the sunset.


The Magician (P 390), a personal favorite, with bacon, mushrooms, mozzarella, onions, tomatoes, and secret sauce is another burger with complex yet balanced flavors. The nutty mushrooms, the bold notes of bacon, and the creamy mozzarella weaves its own distinct hints in another tasty burger creation at Pair-A-Dice Burger Bar.


Pair-A-Dice Burger Bar also offers a selection of Grilled Paninis, like the Chicken Bacon Ranch (P 390), with grilled chicken and crisp bacon draped with creamy ranch dressing and topped with cheddar cheese...


...and the Tuna Cheese Melt (P 390), with chunks of tuna layered with cheddar cheese, sweet onion sauce, cucumbers and tomatoes for a light yet satisfying meal.


Cap your feast with one of Pair-A-Dice Burger Bar's signature Shots to celebrate another sunset, and another perfect day at Lio, El Nido. The raw beauty of nature, the eco-masterplanned integrated resort community, and tasty bites combine to make Lio Tourism Estate the hottest new travel destination in Palawan. When in El Nido, make it Lio El Nido...
