New Harvest of Chilies from Diklum Farm

The Plots with lots of peanuts growing around to keep the soil healthy



Getting great yield from these small plants that we sprouted on the balcony at the restaurant! The fertile soil of Northern Mindanao is prime real estate for vegetable propagation. We will expand 0n our selection once seeds arrive...

We just got back from the farm at Diklum and our chilis are growing very well and about 20 plants are producing kilos of chilis. We have some pretty nice seed production so we will have more plants in the ground in the next few weeks. We picked some beautiful green chili that we will pickle at the restaurant for some upcoming new pulutan specials...extra spicy to pair with extra cold beer! Our first harvest of red chilis has already been made in to chili sauce and it is more potent that previous batches and....WE LIKE IT LIKE DAT!!!

Mardi Gras Celebration!

So our Mardi Gras celebration went off like magic or should I say VooDoo! What would you expect with 50% off menu items and a close out extravaganza with UTOPIA performing live in the courtyard. We have a lot of pics to upload but no time for that now. We got an awesome write up from BusinessWeek Mindanao, Thanks Shaun! and met a whole bunch of new guests. The purpose of our promotion was to reach new guests. Everyday we meet people that haven't heard of the restaurant or have not had time to stop in. Well, they took advantage of the mardi gras and seems like they told the world because the good people still keep coming in. Like we've said from the beginining, we are not here to force anything, just make good soul food and share a bit of New Orleans with the good people of Cagayan de Oro. We will update this post with pics soon. Thanks again for all those that came out!

Google Maps

We are not the most techno savvy but we are now on GOOGLE MAPS! Please tell your friends and if you have some good things to say, please do and give us 5 stars! Thank you all for your continued support! We are working hard to recreate the flavors of New Orleans using all locally sourced ingredients. Our staff is super attentive and happy to serve all those hungry people of Cagayan de Oro.

Bourbon St. Bistro Chili Sauce

We started making our own chili sauce when we opened just for fun. A local farmer in Libona, Bukidnon had some amazing chilis that Chef Drew really adores. Since it's inception the amount of inquiries about it being for sale became a demand rather than a question. You can purchase a 250ml bottle at the restaurant for P165. Currently we are adding a ribbon and to/from card for the holidays so it can be used as a stocking stuffer.

The sauce is the perfect accompaniment to any dish. It can not be over used. It pours thick like ketchup and adds a smooth spice that warms you as eat. The flavor is pure. We brine the chilies and puree them so that you get a distinct salty, fresh chili flavor. Each batch is hand made and hand bottled. We don't call it hot sauce because hot really depends on the consumer and we are more into elevating the food rather than blowing your mouth up so you can't taste anymore.

This is quickly becoming Chef Drew's passion. Please stop by and enjoy our delicious food and amazing chili sauce. Currently we are in the process of making a hotter chili sauce but that is available on a request basis only.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Holiday French Macarons

Chef Nikki has been very busy making some delicious French macarons here at Bourbon St. Bistro. They are quite unique for Northern Mindanao and very technical to make. Her flavors are Strawberry, Blueberry Cheese Cake, Espresso, Chocolate, Lemon, Pistachio, and Cappuccino. She perfected her craft while at The Thompson Beverly Hills. She is constantly testing and creating some complex flavor combinations and executing them in a very humid environment. Making macarons is an art and Chef Nikki has perfected that art so that our guests in town can taste something truly amazing. They are available in gift boxes: 5pc (P170), 8pc (P265), and 24pc (P795).
