Restaurant
Ven'z Kitchen is a popular dining spot located on Panagsama Road, just 50 meters from the sea in Basdiot near Moalboal. Despite its unassuming appearance, it's renowned for serving high-quality Filipino and Asian dishes, including fresh seafood, vegan options, and gluten-free meals. The restaurant is run by two friendly ladies who prepare these specialties with flair. Prices are reasonable, and visitors can even participate in cooking classes to learn how to make famous Filipino dishes.
This is our first meal in the Philippines and it was not bad.
Pictured is pork sisig and veggie express, it was enough to feed 2 adults after a day of diving.
Garlic rice was not that flavourful.
Staff are on island time, so just enjoy and relax whilst you wait.

fantastic meal fantastic service!!!! we went there twice and were impressed each time. the prices were also fairly affordable for the area. also, cute dog!!!
One of the best local places in Moalboal. Delicious vegetarian and meat options: with the eggplant and pork dishes a particular standout. Bicol express is a dish for those with an adventurous taste - coconut milk and chillies blended into an addictive mix.
Would definitely eat here every day.
Lovely local restaurant serving Filipino food. Recommend the grilled squid , Kare Kare was one if the best we have had and Lumpia..lovely dinner with nice open atmosphere
Don't miss this restaurant in Moalboal!!! The best!!!
I ordered pork sisig and vegetarian curry. They were absolutely perfect! The best I've tried in the Philippines!
All the staff and the owners are kind and welcoming, making the experience better!
I recommend it and will come back on my next opportunity!
lovely restaurant with great employees. lots of delicious vegetarian & vegan options! yellow curry was my favorite
An absolute joy for the foodie soul especially if you’re looking for authentic Filipino food along the Panagsama strip in Moalboal. Nothing beats local curries and soups that are made fresh everyday in this location. Finish your dining experience with Mango Float - it’s awesome!
First meal in the Phillipines and wow it did not disappoint. Some of the best food we have had in south east Asia, will definitely be back tomorrow !!!

Smooth Cafe Moalboal is a must-visit spot for those seeking excellent coffee and a satisfying lunch. The cafe, owned by a Canadian expat and his Filipina wife, offers a fusion of Eastern and Western flavors. Their menu features inventive twists on local dishes such as the vegan adobo burger made with banana heart, alongside meaty options like the popular chicken shawarma wrap.
They have the best frozen Margaritas in town. It’s perfect the alcohol content and sweetness. Nice place to enjoy with friends, fun place and nice ambiance with live band music. I love also some local foods you must try. Bruschetta also is have an authentic flavors.

Smooth is a great little venue with an awesome vibe. We went on a Wednesday night and they had live music that were excellent. The food was really good, cannot recommend the seafood skewers, tuna ceviche and the Bicol Express enough! Great food and quality. It did get pretty busy with the live music which was great to see so if you need service it was easier to go to the bar and order. Would recommend!
Everything about this place was amazing. We came here when a nearby restaurant was full, which was a blessing in disguise. We ate here on three separate occasions, which included both breakfast and lunch. I ordered Fall Off the Bone Ribs, Sous Vida Ribs and Eggs Benedict. Every dish was amazing which kept us coming back for more. The whole staff was great, the food and drinks were all phenomenal. Thank you to the whole establishment and especially the young lady that served us both nights we were there. Our favorite place in Moalboal and this place is a midday visit for anyone wanting a memorable experience. ✌🏼🙏🏼🤙🏼
Best cafe/restaurant that we have tried in Moalboal, certainly satisfied our food cravings! The pork was well flavoured and meat was tender! If you were to come here by motorcycle, would probably have to park opposite which is paid parking.
During our stay in Moalboal, had breakfast at Smooth Café and it instantly became one of our favorite spots in town. The place has such a relaxed, beach-town vibe, perfect for starting the day slow with good food and great coffee.
Their breakfast options were impressive, we tried their variety of breakfast options, all beautifully plated and really filling. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made.
The coffee was excellent — strong, smooth, and clearly made with care.
The staff were friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was calm and welcoming, the kind of place where you could easily linger after breakfast.
If you’re in Moalboal and looking for a great breakfast or brunch spot with good coffee, Smooth Café is definitely worth a visit.
The food they serve tasted good. They have fairly decent choices of plated meals. Their local coffee tastes great!
I highly recommend this place! The food was delicious—everything we ordered was flavorful and satisfying, with nothing off-putting at all. The ambiance is great and changes throughout the day. In the morning, it feels like a cozy café perfect for breakfast or brunch. At night, it transforms into a lively bar with a live band, creating a fun and energetic vibe.
The staff are amazing—super friendly, and they even let you sing with the band! I was especially impressed that they got my Mai Tai just right, even though it wasn’t on the menu. Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!
Great spot! Had breakfast here and had a couple of great coffees. Was back here in the evening and there was an awesome band on. The craft beer on tap was delicious.

I had a wonderful experience at Chili Bar. The coffee was excellent, and the friendly staff made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The stunning view of the ocean created a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. The menu offers a variety of options including pizzas, pastas, and other dishes. This is a must-visit spot in Moalboal, whether you're looking to unwind during the day or enjoy a lively evening by the sea.
Ben C — Google review
Chili Bar is located near the shore of Panagsama Beach which is a good location to hang out after spending time on the beach. The pizza was good as it had the toasty burnt flavour on its crust. The fried chicken was typical and okay but the mojitos were the best! For the price we didn't expect for the mojitos to be a large size.
The view of the restaurant is relax as it is on the sea shore where you can chill and unwind.
We had a beer. Simply fine, it’s hard to do it wrong just serving a beer. It could have been colder though. Really nice sunset view from this point.
We ordered pizza for our snacks. It was served hot and tasted good. Their place is good for relaxing specially after lunch with full view of the sea.
This bar is the most famous club in the city. The majority of tourists come here to party and have a drink. The is very nice and commercial so it’s easy to make friends and interact with locals as well. It is a very warm atmosphere.
Fantastic sea views and a comfortable vibe. Reasonable prices. The Pork Adobo was good but slightly salty. A great overall experience.
Pictured is burger + fries combo, as well as filipino dish sinigang (sweet / sour soup with pork belly).
Bread was a bit dry on the burger but otherwise the meal was yum, with a good view.
An average place with a great view but by far the most comfortable place to do solo sardine run without extra fees. Leave your things there... enjoy a cold beer or whatever and dive...!

walkable beach from moalboal tree shade
got various bars restaurants dive centers vendors and tour shops (snorkeling, turtle / sardines)
clean water, highly recommend for sunset
Gracy B — Google review
NOT really a beach at all. Almost all rock. Tho great for renting your own snorkel gear and jumping right in -- skip the tours at first!
Amazing beach where its practically guaranteed to swim with sardine balls and other sea creatures! Many can find turtles as well! Parking and environmental fees are here but not much :)
Had a great experience here. The sardine run and turtle watching is great. With 500 pesos, you get a guide to help you swim with the sardines. The place is pretty crowded with lots of restaurants to choose from. Room accommodations are also cheap but don't expect a 5-star feed on some. This is a must place to visit when in Cebu Island.
Nice beach, a great place for safe Snorkelling.
The beach looks plain upon first glance but what's underneath is what matters. Our guides are super nice. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to swim, they will go with you under the water and lift you after. Just remain calm and savour the experience.
It will be a 5 stars beautiful spot, if everyone acknowledged to keep the garbage out of the sea, not just only small groups’ responsibility.
It’s not a beach! It’s a rocky zone with little sand here and there
Warning!
Sellers everywhere, greedy to sell and follow me to try hard!
They want to sell, but not clean the water.
There is no police, locals do whatever they want.
It’s a shame a beautiful place mismanaged.
Here, there are also lots of young women, 8-12 years old selling souvenirs on the beach and street.. trying so hard and following girls for the bracelets, necklaces, etc.
Hate this environment…
There are still some turtles and sardines but no corals… all destroyed and no supervision ..

The cafe's vibrant ambiance, adorned with native designs and colorful artwork, provides the perfect backdrop for Instagram-worthy photos. In addition to their famous smoothie bowls, Shaka offers an array of healthy and delicious options including power bowls, smoothies, coffees, teas, and fresh cold-pressed juices.
The size of this bowl OMG it was truly amazing! The texture, colors, the ladies there were so kind to me!! Literally in the main road in front of the beach, you should come here before living Moalboal 🫶🏻
Carolina V — Google review
This is the go-to smoothie bowl spot that everyone on the internet recommends, and it’s good, but it didn’t quite live up to the hype for me.
Don’t get me wrong it’s not bad, but for the price I felt like it lacked a bit in toppings. They were generous with the peanut butter though, which was nice, but it was an additional charge.
This is a chain and there are locations all over the Philippines, and I think they are a good option in a pinch but I had way better and cheaper bowls elsewhere in the islands.
Atmosphere is good! Open air and laid back vibes. Was a nice choice post-dive overall.
Got the Tropical Smoothie Bowl. Definitely expected more because of the hype and reviews, though it fell short of expectations. Still pretty ok overall.
Staff were friendly especially considering that it was by closing time.
A lovely spot for a drink/food! The menu has plenty of options to suit your needs - but as importantly - not too many options!
Although the kitchen had run out of my first choice, what I ended up having was very tasty and relatively health (kasbah wrap). We also had the kale and quinoa avocado bowl which was tasty, especially with the walnuts and raisins.
Service was really good - prompt and friendly, it was clear the staff had had a busy morning!
It’s always a 10/10 for me. I love their peanut butter salted caramel smoothie bowl. The servings are generous. I couldn’t finish an entire bowl because I was so stuffed. The staff are also attentive and kind.
When I wanted to order, the cashier was on her phone even though I've already said hello. I ordered a smoothie bowl and gave a 1000 note, and I've received a wrong change without 500 note. Be careful....The smoothie bowl was good.
Love the smoothie bowls but the rolled oats was so hard to chew and they did not banana as part of the bowl when I ordered there. Nonetheless, great place to chill and stay occupied.
My friends ordered the Bom Dia Bowl while I had the PB Salted Caramel smoothie bowl. It tasted good. Nothing special about it. It would be nice if there were a build your own option. The smoothie bowl is not icy/creamy/solid in consistency like an acai bowl would be, (a little runny/watery) maybe the hot weather can be a factor. A good place if you want to chill and have something on the healthier side.

The LAST FILLING STATION Restaurant in Moalboal is a popular spot known for its Thai and Filipino cuisine, as well as its delicious pizza, sandwiches, and Italian pasta. The restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere with no sea view but great food. It's noted for its brick oven pizza and calzone, which are described as huge and delicious. Despite some delays in food service, the reasonable prices make it worth the visit.
Nice little restaurant. We came for dinner as we were staying in the hotel nearby. Staff was super nice and attentive. Food was good, service fast. Here I had my first calamansi juice in Philippines - super tasty and refreshing (I ordered it cold).
Anna H — Google review
Had dinner and the food was ok, a little bland but not bad. Breakfast was much better. The Farmers omelette was amazing!! We will definitely be back for breakfast since you can order it all day!!! Prices are good considering the location. They only accept cash.
We had dinner at this restaurant when we had our vacation this August 2025. The food was tasty. The staff was accommodating and the ambiance was relaxing. Nice restaurant to try when you are in this area.
Attentive staff, pizza serving is big enough for us and cozy atmosphere. Pizza crust is a little salty. Fruit salad and mango juice are
good too
Really calm atmosphere here with soft music that we enjoyed. We ate here two times and the french breakfast and banana shake were really nice! The margerita pizza, pasta alfredo and chicken pita were okey/good. The service is great and the staff is nice. You also get free service water.
Would be helpful to train staff to scan their tables, periodically make contact and ask if anything is missing. It seemed that everyone last night was trying to get the staff’s attention, half full restaurant.
A top 5 go to place in Moalboal.
4.0 average is not realistic here, it’s a really nice environment, very good food. Delicious pizza, lasagna, and shrimp dish. Breakfast is great too.
Great Chef’s Salad and Lumpia. 5 Stars!
Great chill place, love the pizza here especially Boss Pizza. Other favorites are also the sweet and sour fish, basil & coconut milk chicken, schnitzel with fries, and tuna spaghetti. Generous portions and good value for money. My kids love the banana split. There is a great separate seating area by the cliff overlooking the sea. The owners are super friendly. 👌🏽
Good food, excellent atmosphere plus a nice bar. Recommended.

When visiting Moalboal, make sure to stop by Hungry Monkeys for a memorable dining experience. The restaurant offers decent and vibey ambiance, making it a go-to place for many visitors. The Filipino food served here is phenomenal, with generous portions at great prices. Don't miss the Chicken Halag Halag and Chicken adobe, followed by the delicious mango float for dessert. The cozy and tastefully decorated restaurant provides warm and friendly service from attentive staff.
Everything we ordered was a hit for us but their Bicol Express was our FAVOURITE. The portions served here were also very generous :) great ambience, fully packed on a Monday night. We were there around 7pm and the service was really quick! We got our tables within 15 mins of waiting (there was a queue of 4 tables in front of us) and got our food within 20-25 mins of ordering 👌🏼 very acceptable considering the number of patrons there! Highly recommend! :)

Amazing and authentic Filipino food, the servers were really friendly and nice❤️ I got the Fish Paksiw Sa Gata for the first time, I was worried it was too sour to my liking but the waitress offered me a free taste test before. So it was truly amazing!!
They have other dishes available that are inclusive to different cuisines and dietary restrictions👍🏼
We got a free shot too from supporting them🥂, highly recommend to people!☺️
The food was absolutely delicious — flavorful and well-prepared. The servings were generous, definitely worth the price. On top of that, the staff provided excellent service, making the whole experience enjoyable. Highly recommended!
The food is super delicious! The fresh juice is amazing too! I came here two days in a row. I found this place on TikTok, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Highly recommend if you’re in Moalboal!
It was the best restaurant we've been to in Moalboal. It's upstairs which is a nice change away from the loud scooters. Lots of food options and cuisines especially Filipino food. Mango Float for dessert is a must!
The food was delicious, service quick and helpful. Pad Thai too sweet for my taste but everything else we ordered was yum! Particularly loved Chicken Halang Halang 🤤
We were seated in the no footwear zone, apparently, directed there by the waiter who just said over there and pointed in a general direction. No problem. Took off our slippers and moved along. The appetisers were okay, the chili fries were low on fries and to much chili. But okay on flavour, not too spicy. The pork afritada was mediocre at best, dry bits of pork, store bought carrots and potatoes, flavour was decent at best. The beef rendang was worse, there was too much tamarind or the spices were burned when the paste was made. Acidic and not appealing, small blocks of beef, no substance or notice of a braced beef. Disappointing after all the positive reviews. Tourist trap? No. Just a mediocre joint.
Food was subperb! The pricing was quite fair and serving was more than sufficient. We should have asked about the recommended serving size for each order, as we each ordered individually. However, it turns out that one order is sufficient for two people, leading to some leftovers.

The Isla Bar exudes elegance with its sophisticated ambiance. Patrons can take advantage of a fantastic promotion where they can buy one item and receive two. The music selection leans towards the energetic beats of house music, creating an upbeat atmosphere. The attentive and friendly staff are always within reach, ready to serve with a smile. The cocktails are crafted to perfection, offering a delightful drinking experience. While the pizza is satisfactory, some may find it lacking in comparison to the other offerings.
Great service, varied korean food choices and varied drinks

Lots of table. Not too crowded at 9pm. Closed windows by 10pm. Good music. Cheap cocktails (buy1take 1!!) and taste good. Love their amaretto sour.
The bar is known for strong happy‑hour deals (like buy‑one‑get‑one cocktails) making it a favorite for budget‑conscious backpackers and night‑owls alike and the atmosphere is described as friendly and fun, with reviewers praising the welcoming staff and the vibrant mix of locals and tourists. I’d like to the staff who entertain us especially MARISS❤️💋

Nestled in the heart of Moalboal, The Pleasure Principle Resto-Bar stands out as a must-visit dining destination for both locals and travelers. This charming eatery boasts an extensive menu that caters to diverse palates, featuring an array of fresh seafood that highlights the region's culinary delights. The atmosphere is a delightful blend of laid-back vibes and vibrant energy, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring.
I liked the fact that this restaurant is quiet compared to other restaurants around the beach. It is what we prefer when we have our meals. However, I would have loved some light music in the background.
The waitress was very kind, however, I think because of her English conversational skills, it was a little difficult to communicate, and this is why we haven't received our drinks. But they gave us a welcome-appetizer, a very yummy spring roll with red sauce. That was a very nice touch while waiting for our food. However, we would have loved to receive service water, but I think it is not a thing there, none of the places serve that, you have to buy it yourself, but it would be very nice for customers.
The food was very delicious, we had Green Curry and Capriciosa Pizza. Both super delicious and tasty. The curry had the right amount of spiciness and the pizza was with a thin crust and super crunchy. Definitely recommend.
Prices are okay, average "beach-tourist-restaurant" prices.

Just amazing!
Here in Moalboal there are so many nice places to eat, but for me, The Pleasure Principle is the No. 1.
Food is delicious, it's perfectly clean and the owner wants you to feel like eating at home.
Amazing breakfast and great service. I had the big boy boom boom breakfast which apart from the hashbrowns was excellent. I'm sure the hashbrowns were great too but I just don't like those little oil sponges.
Brewed coffee was as good as it gets here (which is not as good as it gets when I'm home, but was good).
Added bonus was the addition of bacon not mentioned on the menu - Woohoo. The art work is interesting in this resto :-)
Definitely a must-try restaurant when you're at Moalboal. The adult themed ambiance is certainly interesting and it ties perfectly to their menu. Food portions are generous especially when you don't have a heavy appetite. Sharing is definitely recommended so you can try their various dishes. Price is a bit high but the quality of food and portions are enough to justify it. It wasn't so crowded when we were there and the service was excellent.
Principle respected, pleasure was indeed there with a friendly staff, a quite remarkable cuisine, and original images on the wall!
The appetizer sets you for the journey, a simple but good lumpia, vietnamese style. The Sinigang was generous and tasty while the Seafood thermidor was a surprising mix of fresh seafood respecting the thermidor principle. Everything cooked at the moment.
Freshly reopened after the pandemic, we already selected from the Carte what will be out next meal. Mix of French/world/Filipino cuisine, the Carte reflects the mood of this place's owner. Highly recommended, just seat and enjoy good food!
The banana pancakes are delicious - more like a crepe though (see photo). The Kano (americano 😂) breakfast is a good serving size, comes with real drip coffee and OJ too! The Filipino corn beef is authentic says my Filipino friend I was with (: photos taken September 2018.
We visited this place twice. For the first time, I shared with my friend the beed rendang. It has many pieces of beef and comes with both rice and a naan-like pita bread. It's really delicious so do give it a try. The 2nd time, someone recommended their sandwich so we went there for lunch and it was indeed quite good! The bread was tasty and nice on a hot afternoon. We quite like their iced tea and had it on both occasions. The staff are polite and nice too.
Mediocre plate of their special house platter. Everything was fried. Wasn’t bad but pretty average for fried food. Coconut rice was better than their fried platter.
Typical tourist trap announced with Travelocity awards dating years back.
Should have gone across the alley and had a view of the ocean and crashing waves.

Café Cebuano is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal with its stunning sea view, making it an ideal place for watching the sunset. It's popular among couples due to its romantic ambiance. The menu offers a variety of Filipino dishes at reasonable prices, including delicious clubhouse sandwiches. Visitors can also unwind all day while savoring refreshing pineapple juice and fresh seafood like fish and chips.
Great place to chill all day and relax. Excellent location to see sunset with water front view. Pineapple juice is great, fish and fish chip, and the fish seem fresh, burger is not bad, fries are well made, club sandwich is a great portion
Eric C — Google review
Nice view. We waited a very long time before our ordered to be taken and we also waited a long time before our dessert arrived. The homemade ice cream was good.
We also tried the breakfast - the banana pancake was good but avoid French toast it looks more like a deep fried toast and you can’t really taste the cinnamon
Nice location on the seafront you can enjoy a sunset there. Desserts were good. Drinks also but it took them a long time to take our order, the service was disorganised. We came back for a breakfast and it was a bit of a disappointment, French toast were deep fried... no French toast are not supposed to be deep fried.
An ideal place to unwind while dining. The restaurant has a sea view and a perfect place for sunset watching. It's kinda romantic place for couple😍.
We ordered clubhouse for our afternoon snacks and it was so good. They also offer some Filipino dishes with a very resonable prices.
I will surely be coming back here again!
Nice place to be. You are sitting on the sea side and have your food and drinks in a silent place. Their pizza is self made and also the other dishes taste good.
The place is clean, relaxing, very nice view and they have kids high chair which is something very important for tourist's with kids. The service was ok. However, the food was disappointing. We ordered veggie and prawn tempura and pizza, the batter was thick and specially for the veggie tempura the vegetables were way too thick.
All in all, i think this place is good for drinks and just relaxing.
Very Good. Had a delicious meal that was served really quickly with friendly great service. Was sceptical at first because of some reviews but wasnt bad at all. Definitely recommend. We had chicken mango salad YUM and chicken fillets (could use a sauce but still good). Thanks
The place has a nice atmosphere and beautiful view for the sunset. But the food is mediocre at best. So hard to find good food here. Entree and appetizer was 400p.

Veranda Kitchen & Bar offers a spacious open seating area with beautiful wooden furniture and a stunning open-air sea view. The tables are strategically placed to provide privacy for couples, while summer hits play in the background. The restaurant's name is fitting as it provides a commanding view of the sea, making it perfect for taking in the sights at noon or dusk. While slightly pricier than local options, the food is delicious, with generous portions and a diverse menu.
I’ve at twice already the Tuna with mango sauce, and I still not find the right words to
Describe the taste, I Loved it so much, I could eat this dish everyday for the rest of my life.
Just perfect.
Furthermore the view is amazing.

We are a group of 4. The staff are complacent and you have to request each things like water, glasses. We had to ask for butter. No jam. Bacon overcooked. Bad timing and slow food came out twice (We had BF twice due to nice scenery and ambiance). Food came out for 3 person but forgot the 4th one. This happened twice. It was not busy so no excuse. If you want customers to come back, please improve your service. I would love to come back but put off by the bad service.
We ordered pizza but no plates or cutlery were provided, making it very inconvenient. The staff were slow to attend to customers and seemed more focused on chatting with each other than serving. Very disappointing experience.
FIRST AND LASTTTTTT!!!!!!
I usually bring my family and friends here when visiting Moalboal, primarily for it's location. The food though can be a hit and miss. One time it's really delicious and the next, it's just ok. The beer is always cold. There's also free car parking about 50 meters away which is a major plus in this area.
Very tasty food and drinks they served here! Was literally eating lunch here everyday with the seaview seats. My friends enjoy their pork sisig very much!
This place is called veranda for a reason and it commands a great view of the sea (see pictures taken at noon and dusk). Beside is the assembly area for some diving activities.
Their food is good, a bit pricier as a local but tasty. You can order fresh buko juice and request the coconut meat scrapped after for dessert. Staff are very patient and polite.
There's no parking area so if you're coming here with car, ask locals where you can park.
Maybe a suggestion: though understandable that they're also making a living, but please advise souvenir sellers not to swarm diners especially they haven't made an order yet or taken their meal. The resto is open so they can freely get inside the area and it's quite bothersome.
We had lunch here over the weekend and loved their food! They had generous servings and really good food. Prices are not cheap but are reasonable. Will eat here again should we travel this way in the future. They had quite a lot of items on the menu so you have a lot of choices. Want to try something else when we go back but the seafood mix and garlic shrimp was mmmmmmm! Yummy! Also, the view was fabulous!
Nice vibe and great beach views. Service is a bit slow, especially to pay. The sandwiches were massive but very good. Natural watermelon juice was ok.

Yummy, ordered 3 dishes for 2 person and we finished everything, wiped the sauces clean! Got the Shakshuka, eggs&bacon toast, mayim pancake, iced cappuccino and iced latte. No beach view from this location but it’s still a nice open space.

Although it was small, I enjoyed my shakshuka - very flavourful and the toasted sourdough bread was great! Although you can't see the ocean, the space is large, airy and quiet. It's located inside of the gate (open it and walk in) for a resort and hidden behind some trees.
My husband had the burger and I had the chicken Alfredo. My husband said after tasting my food it was more delicious.
The chicken Alfredo is definitely 10/10!
Don’t know why, but there was nobody else there than the two of us. This wasn’t a problem for us, we still very much enjoyed dining here.
The food is incredible. We went a couple of times and had the shakshuka, pancakes and the pasta and they were all amazing. The drinks are also great and the price is good. We would 100% recommend.
Wow! A proper hidden gem in Moalboal. Their food is impeccable! We tried a couple of other places with 4+ stars on Google before this place but once we went here we saw that no where else even comes close to the quality of food you get here. We then solely ate here for the remainder of our stay, 5 days, literally, breakfast, lunch and dinner here it was amazing every time. The staff are incredibly nice and provide a 5 star service. I really miss this place, they certainly deserve their flawless 5 star rating here. It's a little out of the way but not far at all well worth the walk, the scenery and breeze is lush when you arrive.
BEST BREAKFAST IN MOALBOAL! Had an amazing shakshuka and smoothie and there were lots of other options I would have liked to try if we'd been in Moalboal longer. A little further down from the main strip so it's nice and quiet. A must visit.
The food and accommodation are superb. It’s the quietest place around the Panagsama area. So, if you want a peaceful vacation, head to Mayim Beach Bar.
Good Shakshuka however the beachside restaurant is already not available since the storm 2 years ago. The restaurant now is inside the retreat center and there is no view of the beach like before.

The restaurant provides a cozy setting to enjoy heartwarming meals with loved ones. With a picturesque ocean view, the spacious atmosphere is ideal for savoring their extensive menu featuring Philippine dishes alongside various cuisines at reasonable prices.
As a Swede I didn’t expect much from this restaurant, but as I really miss Swedish food I decided to give it a try. Let was extremely surprised and impressed over how good it tasted.
We tried the meatballs and the “planka”.
The meatballs with its brown sauce and lingonberry jam tasted exactly as home, which I’ve never experienced abroad before. It felt like I was sitting in my mums kitchen.
The plank was a tiny bit different in flavor, but it was still really really good. The meat was amazing, the bearnaise-sauce tasted as it should.
I can really recommend this place for someone that wants to try real Swedish food!

Food:
Pizza - the pizza was okay. The crust was thin but not crispy. Has various cheese which made the pizza tastier. The size is big, perfect for 2-4 people
Mango shake - was okay too.
Service:
It took a while for the pizza to be delivered to us. Drinks came first before the pizza, the soft drink was not cold when the pizza arrived.
Service water - we asked for service water and came with big chunk of ice which is great.
Atmosphere - spacious and no one was smoking when we dined in.
Overall - pizza here is much okay than other pizza nearby.
Good food and service. For the price and the serving size, this place is already very sulit. They also have a lot of options so if you're a big group, there's most likely something for everyone here.
Mediocre bistro bar. Food is a little expensive vs the taste. We ordered a meal that was supposed to be good for 2 but it includes only 1 rice. Maybe its for someone who eats half rice only. The chopsuy taste good i can give them that but the pork was dry and rubbery i feel it was cooked frozen dried and brushed the sauce after.
Good option for casual dining esp given that there aren't many options along the stretch that opens late for dinner. Cordon bleau and calamari was great, drinks were decent at best with some cocktails tasting diluted. Would probably only return for drinks during their happy hour. Decently priced with accommodating service crew.
Lovely place. I highly recommend. The food is wholesome, simple and tasty. Filling and healthy with veg. Well cooked.
The owners are wonderful. Really lovely.
The mangoe mojito was done with fresh mango and tasted so amazing!!!! I came in for a quick drink and some food, stayed for too many mango mojitos and considered seconds on the food front.
There isn’t a lot of food places around. I highly recommend visiting this place and enjoy the cocktails and food
Very nice little restaurant. The food is good and reasonable prices. We love the pizza, is so good. Moalboal don't have many spots to eat but this one we definitely recommend.
Also the staff is great, they are always with a smile and super friendly. Good service.
Food was good services was slow. Had to order drinks at the front just to see the waiter on his phone. Think they'll do great if they can up their service. Then atleast we would want to put money in their tip box.

Amazing food and a decent variety on the menu. The best part of this resto bar is the hospitality from the owners who manage it. I highly recommend this for those stopping by Moal-Boal.
Love this place! Been coming here everyday for breakfast and dinner. Lovely, friendly owners and the food is fantastic!
Great Western food that tastes like home as well as utterly delicious, traditional Filipino dishes.
If you're in Moalboal make sure you come and check this place out!
5/5.
Great food and atmosphere. The owner and the staff are super nice and friendly. Highly recommend the fried ice cream, chicken poppers and the milkshake.
Fish and chips were awesome! Vegetable curry was good, tons of veggies. Peanut butter shake was delicious and CUTEST little kitten I've ever seen that the owner rescued. Forgot to take a picture of the food as we were STARVING

Stumbled across this place..owned and run by a lovely girl Cherry who although is Philipino has an English accent.Her and her English husband have recently opened this place..It was a friendly place with good food.We had a mixture of Philipino and English food to cater for our wee daughter.Hope this place gets the trade it deserves...Cherry makes it as she is so accommodating and friendly...definitely worth a visit... also it had jerk chicken on the meal which was really nice!
Wonderful gem in Moalboal! Tasty Filipino food and great vegetarian options. Staff are very attentive. Absolutely love the omelette, the vegetable curry, spring rolls and the San Miguel light beer! Warren is a friendly and super accommodating host! Thanks ☺️
Delicious food, great staff, cool atmosphere. Just rolled in to town, checked into a hotel, and walked here. Waitstaff was attentive and sweet, fish and chips were spot-on and the veggie burger was outstanding-perfect slight crunch outside, not too dense inside, and wonderfully spiced. Owners were super nice and helpful with info about Moalboal. Prices are very fair with nice portions. Will be back!

If you're exploring the vibrant nightlife of Moalboal, Haze Bar is an absolute must-visit. Nestled near Panagsama Beach, this hidden gem requires a little adventure down a small pathway to discover its charm. The bar boasts an elegant interior with ample seating that creates a cozy and inviting ambiance. During my visits, I was treated to lively entertainment; one night featured a DJ spinning fun tunes while another showcased an impressive live band that set the perfect backdrop for enjoying delicious cocktails.
Nice, larger bar in the second row. Typical buy 1 get 1 free (same cocktail). Very good taste of the cocktails compared to the other bars on site. Good pool table for free. Music sometimes very loud.

Good bar yet to be discovered. They have pool table, beer pong, amazing cocktails and the interior looks amazing!
We came here almost every night for drinks! They play house music on weekends which is great, and I looveeee their cocktails I needed to try them all 😂 Also personally love the interiors/aesthetics of the bar. Great service too 💯
We only went for early cocktails, which were tasty! Nice aesthetics in the business.
It’s just off the main road, which makes it one of the only businesses without a lot of passing traffic.
Slightly annoying were a pair of children, who were playing a sad role with sad stories, selling small worthless items to put you in a position to get money of you. It took a while for them to give up, and I’d say the business should not allow them in. Recommended place!
Best cocktails in Moalboal for sure! The bartenders really know their craft. Had a small issue last time but the staff and owner were super kind and handled it so well. Amazing vibes, great music and fun stuff like pool, arcade games, and beer pong. So glad a bar like this exists in Moalboal!
The best bar in this area for sure!
If you look for a place to dance after dinner, here is the best choice.
You can have high quality drinks, feel great atmosphere, and can listen to sophisticated music!
And of course very friendly owner and staff and customers!
Highest recommendation!
I only popped in tonight for a couple of beers, nice design and friendly service. They serve Corona, my favourite beer. Great music, and not too loud. Next time I will try the food.
>update<
I did go back last night, and tried the quesidillas, which were excellent!
Visited this place one day after they opened. They are currently on soft opening.
I ordered their highball called Moalboal Fizz, and it tastes so good!
They also have a food menu with Tex-Mex cuisine. They served us nachos, on the house! Highly recommend y'all to check this place out!

The Nomad Music and Art Bar in Moalboal is a hidden gem just off the main street of Panagsama. Despite being overlooked, it offers authentic and delicious Mexican food including tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. The atmosphere is relaxed and private, away from the noise, with friendly staff who make you feel welcome. Visitors can enjoy fun activities like quiz nights and games while waiting for their food.
The bacon wrapped burrito is worth all the hype. Bacon was so crispy. The salsa is delicious, I had to ask for extra I loved it so much. Good music and the staff was so friendly. Can’t wait to eat there again.

Of course don’t expect the best Mexican food, is the Philippines. Bearing that in mind, good quality for a reasonable price. Nice and chill environment by the time we went.
Great Food! 5/5
Pad thai was very good freshly cooked
Quesadillas was just so so so
Calamansi drink 5/5 perfection citrusy
Very attentive staff although the atmosphere might need some upgrade 😅
BEWARE THE BEANS!! We were hoping to have a lovely Mexican dinner however we unfortunately were given baked beans on everything, baked beans on the nachos, baked beans in the veggie taco and baked beans in the chicken quesadilla. If you’re a bean lover you might love it here but sadly we weren’t keen. The staff did kindly re-make the chicken quesadilla free of charge without the beans but as you can see the vegetarian taco couldn’t be saved.
I’ve been here many times already, and it’s perfect for burrito fans! They make the best Bacon Wrapped Burritos in town, which are really tasty and something special you can’t get elsewhere. The atmosphere is artsy and cozy, with live acoustic music adding to the relaxing vibe. It’s a great spot to enjoy good food and live music in a chill setting.
You should eat here when visiting moalboal.
First of all the place is packed with games to play until you get the food, and is located in a main street with a fiesta around every night (basketball games and gambling all over the street).
We were 2, sharing the Nachos with all the toppings on the side, a vegetarian pad thai, and a chicken burrito.
The food was delicious, the burrito was huge and packed with rice, chicken and sauce.
The pad thai sauce was amazing!! Sweet and spicy, just great.
Have eaten here 3 times because its just so nice. A relaxed atmosphere with good music. Very friendly staff making surprisingly good food and the beer is ice cold. What more could you ask for lol. Its away from the busy area and well worth the walk.
Value for money. Good serving of food. 3 orders in their menu is already good for 5 or 6! Micah is also a nice host. Definitely a must go if you’re in Moalboal! :)

The ambiance of the place is incredibly cozy, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The interior design and decor added a touch of elegance, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal.

Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, it was a healthy and satisfying choice. It's evident that the restaurant values high-quality ingredients and pays attention to the details, which made the salad even more enjoyable.
The staff at Black Summer was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about their dishes. They were happy to provide recommendations and catered to my dietary preferences without any hesitation.

Good breakfast food!
3 stars for 3 reasons
1. Cornsilog is really good and worth trying here! Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see anyone here. The pork sausage is also good but a bit salty.
2. Cheap food 210 peso or roughly 3.80 US dollars.
3. The portion is decent for what you get!
Minus 2 stars for numerous reasons
1. Not very clean at all! The floors could be cleaned or mopped!
2. The seevice is incredibly slow.
They are indeed open 24 hours but do not respect LGU Moalboal ordinance of low volume and quiet time between 10pm to 6am. On weekends it’s supposed to be 11pm to 6am and they don’t care if people around them get no sleep. Very inconsiderate!
This place was great the food was delicious and they were very friendly, The place is stylish and contemporary and they said they're open 24 hours, We didn't try the bar but it looks really nice.
Pretty good spot. From USA, I went several times during my stay in Moalboal.
Always accommodated everything we needed and the drinks were always cold and prompt. For your viewing pleasure, I have attached a video of me singing a goofy song after about 6 red horse
The place is good, very elegant, the owners and staff are nice very accommodating. Everything inside is beyond perfect. The food and drinks are worth its price. Loving the ambience of Black Summer ❤️
Had longsilog and pizza, food was really good but it took about an hour.
I was very disappointed about the portion size. I ordered raviolis and risotto and they put almost double the food size in salad and too little of the actual plate. The food was good, but expensive in my opinion for the real portion they put.

I had a truly memorable stay at Wild Monkeys Hostel in Panagsama, Moalboal. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. They always greeted us with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. One of the most heartwarming experiences was being invited to their homes during the local fiesta they offered us free food and treated us like family. It was an unforgettable cultural experience that really showed how kind and generous the people are. The hostel itself has great amenities, perfect for travelers looking for comfort and community. It’s a wonderful place to meet fellow backpackers while still enjoying a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend Wild Monkeys Hostel to anyone visiting Moalboal. It’s not just a place to stay, it’s a place where you feel at home
Wonderful Stay – Thanks to Jane!
I had an amazing stay here, mainly because of Jane – the incredible person who made me and my friend feel truly looked after from the very start. She was always available with a warm smile, spreading great energy and creating such a welcoming atmosphere that we instantly felt at home.
The facilities were always clean and well-maintained. Honestly, the bed was the best I’ve had since arriving in the Philippines – completely silent when moving, super comfortable with two pillows, a towel provided, great lighting, and thoughtful touches like hooks for organizing things. Everything was well-designed and cozy, making it such a pleasant place to be.
Highly recommend – and thank you again to Jane for making it so special!
Wild Monkey Hostel was the perfect Moalboal stay! The whole place was super clean and had such a nice, chilled vibe. It’s v close to the sea, and main walking street. The staff were absolutely lovely, helping us to book some great activities through such as canyoneering which made everything so easy. A special shoutout to Jane at reception, who was so friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing stay!
The place is exceptionally clean and the staff are so friendly, they have every service available from laundry pick up and collection, motorcycle rental and all the tours that you have come to do at Moalboal.
The rooms are extremely clean and the bathroom area has been my favourite in my travels
Big shout out to Jane who after 1 month of travelling the Philippines was by far the best front of house staff I have come across! Professional, kind and a lovely person!
Stayed in wild monkeys for 2 nights and wished I could have stayed longer! I was in a 4 bedroom dorm and it was luxury, so much privacy and beautiful beds. Hostel itself is in a perfect location for the sardine run with a 5 minute walk down to the beach, hostel is beautiful from the jungle showers to the ice Carmel coffee! Staff were so friendly and nice to everyone, would highly recommend and will definitely be going back!
We had a great experience. Location is perfect, dorms are clean and quiet and staff are friendly and fun! Jane is brilliant, so helpful and has a great sense of humor! Thanks for a great stay ❤️

We wanted to get away from the normal bars along the beach so we tried this one out. Nice layout of the bar and tables. You can sit at the bar or a secluded table. Drinks are moderately priced. Staff was friendly and attentive. We were there in the beginning of low season so at times in the night it was just the two of us. Would like to see it on a busier night. I think it would be fun.
Such a lovely place! Staff is friendly, they had a live acoustic band and food was good !
Pretty much the best bar in Moalboal. Good food, shot board, cold beer, live music, really nice pool table. Other places are just not friendly and overpriced. Recommend!
Good food and drinks. Live music on the weekends. Service is a bit slow.

Great inexpensive food. We had pork belly and pork chop, which was fresh off the grill and delicious. Everyone was super nice. Definitely recommended for lunch at white beach!

Nice decor and had a little ‘gatsby’ vibe on the interior. Portions on the smaller side. It was a really warm evening but even the ‘aircon’ area was so warm that an extra fan made little difference. It was so warm that I lost my appetite and couldn’t quite enjoy my food. Sweet and sour fish was average. My partner did enjoyed the seafood platter though. Would give 3.5 stars but that wasn’t an option
I enjoyed the seafood platter here although not too big it filled me up with 2 garlic rice plus the fries. The service was gone and the atmosphere was good.
We had a lovely dinner here twice. First evening we tried beef steaks, meat was tender. So we decided to come back next day. We tried tuna steaks, which also were really fresh and well cooked. Prices are also very fare. Recommend to visit if you are in Moalboal.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice, comfortable and cozy, but the service is horrible. We waited 30 minutes for an iced tea and the food took over an hour. It was not that busy, we were one of the two guest.
The meat and rice werd cold and hard, fries had no salt on it. Burger was good but not worth the wait. The waitress wasn‘t busy but also didn‘t get the empty plates, after guestd were finished with eating.
Food was not tasty… do not recommend… would never come back… I couldn’t eat it… didn’t look like picture… they still charged me. Lesson learned.
It's a fancy place within the area, it's along the road. They do have a variety of menu but some of them weren't available (grill and burger section, specifically the steak). They gave complementary sides - homemade bread which was tasty and considerate of them. The place is a bit small in which they cannot really accommodate big groups due to its limited seatings.
Food was great and delicious. Expectedly, they are a bit pricey. Portions of the food were good. Staff were attentive and friendly. Overall, experience was great! Great ambiance and interior as well. Definitely, a good place to lounge around and have some wine, tapas or cheese platter.
The best wine bar in Moalboal with the best service (especially from Grace and Jonamae). I keep coming back to The Lounge because we always feel at home, and well taken care of here. The food is excellent, and the wine selection is the best in the area. We always hangout here for hours, as it is a good place to people-watch too. Love it here!

Located at the center of Moalboal, it offers great food and drinks, friendly staff service, and free billiards for enthusiasts.

I was looking for a quick breakfast spot and popped in. They greeted me kindly and showed me to a table. I had the 'American Breakfast,' and the bread was delicious, and the fries weren't too salty, which was great. The bacon looked small, but it was just enough with the bread.
The mango smoothie was absolutely delicious! Maybe it was because it was so hot😅.
A service charge will be added to your bill!

I love the open bar concept where the fresh air hits you while you’re tipsy. The servers were accommodating. They also have a 2nd floor with air-conditioning if you prefer that setting, though it’s much louder and more crowded. We didn’t know it was happy hour, so it turned out to be buy-1-take-1, we ended up having plenty of drinks! The tricycle terminal is also nearby, so it’s easy to get back to your accommodation anytime.
Very happy with their happy hour. Pizza is very good and affordable. Cocktails was buy 1 take 1
Breakfast is overpriced. Bacon was undercooked but they were able to recook it for us so that's good. Beef tapa was overwhelmed with lemon flavor. My son's pancake was delivered last and took over an hour to prepare and he was not able to eat while everyone else ate. The coffee was great and the mango shake. The food looks good though. Staff were great.
Very good food and drinks, with a lively vibe perfect for anyone looking for a vibrant nightlife experience!
I love Blue Mango Bar & Restaurant! 🩵
Everything is soooo goooood!
Their location is perfect, at the center of Moalboal. They have cozy and lovely interior, staff service is on top, and the food and drinks were great. We enjoyed chilling in the afternoon, having sumptuous lunches, playing billiards and partying in the evening.. We will surely come back when we visit Cebu again.
We had 4 pinocoladas on buy 1 get 1 free, then Calzone pizza and seafood adobe. Adobe was great. Pizza was worst calzone I ever had - almost no filling, dough was not cooked properly. They did not honour the 10% off that hotel provided and had we known we would have eaten elsewhere. Manager was not reasonable. We were only customers and I am not surprised. Their customer service is terrible. Do not dine here they are not upfront with their charging. Ps the waitress was good at her job. This is a management issue, just trying to rip customers off.
Amazing atmosphere! Lovely staff. Riza served us. She was so friendly and accommodating. 5*****

The fish and chips are exceptional, crispy and full of flavor that will definitely leave you wanting more. The Shepherd's pie is also a highlight, a comforting dish with a rich taste. The regulars at this restaurant, like Warren and Emy, along with the warm ambiance make you feel right at home. They are always willing to offer recommendations for local activities as well.
Tiny and cozy little place with the best fish and chips in the whole town.
Also had a delicious Shepherds pie along with a couple cold beers.

Guys the food here is no joke! The fish & chips is just wowwww, better than back home in Scotland! The sauce goes perfectly with the fish!! Also the chips are huuge & not greasy at all. My partner got the shepherds pie 🥧 and he also loved every bite, truly lovely couple running this place and the food is really really good! 12/10, we will be back many times! I ate the food so fast that I forgot to take a photo of it on the plate, so instead here’s our polished plates! 🤣
Great western food. We had pie and chips, fish and chips and the chicken tikka - 4 adults and we loved the food.
The service was great and the price for food and beer was good.
Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for some western cuisine 😁
Coldest beers, friendliest staff, fastest service and really great food reasonably priced. Sports on the tv. Thanks Warren and his staff, hope to see you again soon!
Beer Bellies is a friendly restaurant owned by Warren and Emy, lovely couple. They have many choices in their menu, even vegetarian ones. I definitely recommend the mango shake😋😋😋 very tasty.
They also make great homemade food, the veggie noodles and shepherd pies are good. There is a nice atmosphere and friendly customers. Definitely recommend this place to have a nice evening 😊
Good located in the main road.
This is a gem!
Highly recommend.
Delicious food.
Friendly and cozy. The best place we have had dinner in Moalboal for sure. And one of the best in Philippines overall.
Even mango shake here was sooooo good!
I rarely see any place with 5-star rating in G maps. But this place definitely deserves it!
Always a good chill place to enjoy cold beer and good conversation. This time I tried the Sheppards Pie and I was not disappointed. Wow! Tasty, filling, and purely satisfying. Well done.

We are coming on Monday at 1 PM for eating lunch.
There have already 2 tables almost finished meal.
I coming with wife and daughter. We ordered 3 plates and one starter plus two drinks.
The waitress repeated our order. We are confirmed.
But after more than one hour the waitress coming to ask if all is good.
The problem she was forgetting to ask the all order. One plate missing.
Is insupportable to have always waitress and waiters don’t care of their customers and job.
If you go there take care 3 to 4 times to be sure all your orders will arrive.
Nathan our server was very friendly as was everyone. The quesadilla was crispy juicy and had good flavor as well as the burrito. The potato wedges were crispy and hot and fresh. Everything was wonderful. The atmosphere was very clean and I felt very comfortable eating here. We were impressed and will definitely return.
I had a great time at Papabo Adventure Village! The adventure games were exciting and well-planned. I really enjoyed them. The staff were very kind and helpful. Thank you for your support! The place was clean and beautiful, which made the day even more enjoyable.
I had such a wonderful experience at Papabo Adventure Village. The environment is so refreshing, surrounded by greenery and a peaceful setting that makes you feel relaxed right away. It’s not only a great place to unwind but also perfect for celebrations like birthdays, bridal showers, or even simple get-togethers. The facilities are well-maintained, and the overall vibe is cozy yet adventurous. The staff go above and beyond with their hospitality, which really makes a big difference. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable getaway.😍😊
I visited and stayed there; the Lawak room was nice, the breeze was refreshing, and the view was absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed spending time there with my friends. I wish I could have stayed a few more days with my family—it would have been perfect for an extended trip
Papabo Adventures Village was amazing! Clean room, stunning views, cozy vibes. Loved spending time with my team and boyfriend—super aesthetic, dog-friendly, and perfect for billiards and coffee 🫶🏼 It's my first time to visited there 😍
I enjoy one day in Papabo Adventure Village. It’s good and easy to play billiard, coffee shop and dog friendly. The room is great and clean. High recommend!!
