For Gastronomic Adventures:
Slate District
Named after the finest grained foliated metamorphic rock, Slate, which became a beautiful canvas in presenting its delicious dishes as a plate, Slate District serves choices of mouth-watering specialties at super affordable prices such as its Pork Sisig Sarap, Jackslate Chicken and Grilled Herb Pork Steak. There’s even a dish for pescatarians, as it offers its Orlando Fish Burrito.
