Siargao
🍜
The best farm-to-table dining on the island — Chef Kevin works directly with Siargao's local fishermen and farmers to build a daily-changing menu of elevated Filipino dishes. Think freshly caught kinilaw (Philippine ceviche), grilled liempo, and ube halaya desserts made from scratch. Book ahead; only 10 tables.
🍜
An open-air beachside restaurant specializing in the freshest seafood the island has to offer. Whole grilled lapu-lapu, spicy squid adobo, buttered prawns, and a superb sinigang na hipon (prawn sour broth). Sunset dinners with your feet almost in the sand are the signature experience.
🍜
A stylish take on the traditional Filipino carinderia (canteen), serving generous tuyosinangag (garlic fried rice with dried fish) breakfasts and hearty lunches of adobo, caldereta, and pakbet. Incredibly affordable for the quality. A local favorite that also welcomes visitors warmly.
