Stayed here for 4 days! Location is superb, close to everything. The room is clean and have a comfortable bed too. The service here is top notch! Staff is very friendly and they definitely make you feel welcome! Kudos to Mariel and James and Gian and Nicole and the other staff for their service. LOVE THE PIÑACOLADA!

We had brunch at the Happiness Cafe and the food was great. Highly recommend the falafels (we ordered 3 plates of it!) and the pannacota dessert. The chicken shawarma is very flavourful too. Service was fast and friendly staff. The view isn't perfect as not directly overlooking the beach, but the food and vibes (with free games to play) more than make up for it! Highly recommend :)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely outstanding. This is one of those bars where you walk in and immediately feel the warmth. The people here are genuinely kind — the staff are attentive, friendly, and you can tell they love what they do. Nothing fake, nothing forced. Just real hospitality. The drinks are great, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and you feel that true Filipino heart the moment you sit down. It’s the kind of place you end up staying longer than planned because it simply feels good. If you’re nearby: go in, grab a drink, and enjoy. Some places just hit different — this one definitely does.

Happiness Hostel is an excellent choice if you are a solo traveler or a group of friends aged 18-45 looking for a clean, social, and well-located base to explore El Nido. This place truly lives up to its name! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel so welcome. Its strengths in atmosphere, location, and service far outweigh its minor drawbacks for the right traveler.

Love the restaurant esthetic! Clean space, fresh food, attentive service and Great music. Plenty of seating and a great vibes. Ordered some healthy shakes and although slightly overpriced for the amount, it hit the spot. They did however add Del Monte juice and I assumed it was all fresh fruit. I ordered the hummus and all the dishes were plated well. Shout out to Lea who gave us great food recommendations and answered our many questions.

5stars+ on several levels if you ask me. First of all the staff is amazing and a special “thank you for everything” goes to Gian. He is super kind, funny, makes you feel at home and makes the best cocktails. Tell him what you like and he’ll make you a perfect matching drink. We loved talking to him while having a drink and swinging (yes the bar chairs are swings, like it deserves a star as well). Secondly, we tried several dishes from breakfast to dinner and it was overal my favorite restaurant and bar in El Nido. My recommendation? Try the super banana shake and swing away. Miss this place so much and wish the staff all the best, you guys are so kind and caring. Thank you.

Italian restaurant
Trattoria Altrove is a popular dining spot in El Nido, known for serving some of the best wood oven pizza in the Philippines. The restaurant, located on Calle Hama, is often packed with guests eager to savor their delicious Italian fare. With a cozy and bustling atmosphere, it's recommended to arrive early or be prepared for a wait. Despite occasional power supply issues turning meals into candlelit dinners, the quality of their pizza and pasta remains consistently good.
Amazing service and best lasagna I’ve had in a long time!! Even better than some I’ve had in italy. The place was super clean, gorgeous ocean view and the staff were amazing. I cant recommend this place enough!
Alicia R — Google review
Everything we ordered here was so delicious! We tried the Panchetta con Tartufo and Quattro Formaggi pizzas, recommended by the staff, and they did not disappoint. The salad and drinks we ordered were also really good. While the food took some time to be served, it was definitely worth the wait. We were seated around 5:20pm, and the restaurant began to fill up around 6:00pm. Staff were pretty friendly and attentive. Overall, it was a great dining experience with a nice view.

We celebrated my wife’s birthday at Trattoria Altrove, El Nido, Palawan, and it was truly a memorable experience. The ambiance was warm and cozy, with a relaxing beachfront view that made the evening extra special. The rustic design and soft lighting created the perfect setting for a romantic dinner. The food was excellent, their pizza and pasta were authentic, flavorful, and served fresh. Portions were generous, and the quality exceeded our expectations. Despite the busy night, the service was smooth and efficient. The staff were attentive, accommodating, and added to the overall positive experience. Celebrating such a special occasion here made it unforgettable. If you’re visiting El Nido and want a place with delicious Italian food, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere, Trattoria Altrove is a must-visit. Highly recommended for special occasions, couples, families, and friends.

Went there on Nov 29, 2024. Food quality : Solid 5 star food quality. Nothing to really pick a fault on. (unlike that garbage Italian Pizza house "toto e Peppino in Alona, Bohol) Service : Pretty fast and good as well. However, I asked for some house water and it was not served. Cant even give some water? That is questionable.. Also the table mat, mine had a hole. They shouldnt use it. Lastly, they accept only cash that means, the owner will do a huge tax evation which i also understand.. Overally, great food.

The mystery of the crowd was solved once we tasted their wood-fired pizzas—absolutely amazing! The cozy and inviting dining room only added to the experience, complemented by the nice staff. Highly recommend giving it a try! We opted for the carbonara and Mediterranean pizza, which were so fulfilling that we struggled to finish our halves. But they were simply too delicious to leave behind!

Next to our Joyful Guesthouse, which came highly recommended. Noticing that most of their customers were foreigners, we decided to try it on our third night in El Nido. Our group of 15 found it easily accessible. I ordered pizza margherita and pasta gamberi e olio d'oliva. The pasta was decent, though a bit pricey. The pizza was also okay, but it will be better if you put salt, pepper, and pepper/spicy oil. Thank you.
RP A — Google review
A little too expensive, well probably because of the logistics, but of course it's pugon-baked. The food is great and the view especially if you're seated right at the entrace. It's also situated almost at the center so it's easy to find and accessible. The thing is, the road outside is filled with puddles of water especially after a rain. But while the food is great, nothing really special, just one of the best you can find in the area. Service is ok and of course this being pugon-baked, be ready to wait for at about half an hour on off peak hours. We had an early dinner so the sun was still up but they were playing house music while children were playing. The music just doesn't vibe. And yes, as of this writing, El Nido still haven't fixed the drinking water problem.

If you're a foodie looking for an adventure without breaking the bank, consider exploring the diverse array of Asian restaurants in Los Angeles. From Thai spots like Bua Siam to Vietnamese options at KP's Vietnamese-American Deli, there's something for every palate. For those craving Nepali cuisine, Katmandu Kitchen in West LA offers unique dishes like yak and spinach lamb. Meanwhile, American eateries like The Stand and The Counter specialize in classic comfort foods.
Great food! Everything we had was good and plated well. Satay was flavorful, tom yum perfectly spicy, fried rice was seasoned well! Mango sticky rice was also very good. Staff are trained well, accommodating, friendly, and polite. Plus the view of the beach is amazing (we ate at the balcony.)
Trish S — Google review
Good vibes but not enough to justify its unreasonable price range, small serving, and quite frankly bland, poor excuse to call it Thai food. The red curry was spicy, quite watery but sorely lacked flavor. Tom yum was sour although lacking the authentic galanggal flavor- hence becoming much closer to sinigang than actual Tom yum. Thai milk tea was, you guessed it, bland as well. Sorry, please do better.
Diego G — Google review
Perfect dinner in El Nido. The food is just great Thai food, as we experienced in the most authentic places while in Thailand. Short waiting time by putting ourselves on the list - 20 min - during which we just took a stroll in town and came back to a free outdoor table. Great Pad Thai, great green Curry, tasty Mango sticky rice. Do yourselves a favour and make sure you go there at least once during your stay!
Federico V — Google review
Definitely recommend getting a reservation. We managed to get in (two of us) without one, but were only given one hour to eat. Really nice food! Limited in options as someone who eats a lot of Thai food, but the things they do make are delicious. Red curry is amazing. Sort of expensive but it is quality food. And they accept card.

Really tasty food with very healthy portion sizes. Cashew chicken was 5/5, portion size was very big Chicken satay 5/5, I literally spooned the left over sauce into my mouth Massaman was 3/5, tasty and good portion size but not authentic Thai taste. Too much star anise used

This is one of the best Thai restaurants in El Nido. We ordered green and red curry with chicken. The red curry is very spicy and tastes great. The place is not very big so if you have a big group, you might find it difficult to settle at a table, but for small groups it is great. The quality of the food is great.

Great place and overlooks the water. Just annoying though with the close proximity of people sitting with their back to your table and Flicking there dandruff filled hair onto your food. They shouldnt sit people like this. Kinda annoying as hell. Other than that it was a good place. Just be wearing of girls with long hair with their backs to your table.

Bella Vita El Nido is an Italian beachfront resto-bar located on the stunning Corong Corong Beach in Palawan. The restaurant offers a picturesque setting to enjoy authentic Italian pasta and pizza dishes while soaking in the warm sea breeze and breathtaking sunset views.
Beautiful little place right on the water. Can watch sunset while eating. Food was delicious. We got a meat lover and a white pizza (Bianca). So good, really hit the spot. Staff were really friendly. Will definitely be back before we leave.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Absolutely incredible! Bella Vita has the best truffle pizza I’ve ever had in my life – no exaggeration. I’ve been in El Nido for only three days and already had lunch here twice… and I’m definitely coming back again before I leave. The place has a simple yet super cozy vibe, and the staff is warm, welcoming, and friendly. So far, it’s the best food experience I’ve had in El Nido – everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. If you’re a pizza lover (or even if you’re not), this is a must-visit. Can’t recommend it enough!
MAIKO B — Google review
Beautiful beach front restaurant with delicious New York style pizza (more toppings but still thincrust). The service was top-notch, super friendly and attentive. My only complaint would be that their Mediterranean salad had horribly bitter tasting olives - maybe substitute these for capers or feta cheese. If you're missing European / Western cuisine then you should definitely give this place a visit!
Connor H — Google review
We went to Bella Vita’s happy hour and returned the next day because food looked so delicious, which it was. We had chicken Caesar salad, truffle pasta & a creamy pizza which were all amazing - we had to take the pizza as leftovers. Our waiter was Christian, very nice guy who looked after us well. I think there’s only two or three tables where you can see the sunset unimpeded by trees so get there early for sunset, or take a drink and enjoy. A beautiful view.

Bella Vita El Nido – A Slice of Heaven by the Sea During our two-week stay in El Nido, Bella Vita quickly became our favorite spot—so much so that we returned several times and cherished every visit. On our first night, we ordered the Burrata Lover’s Pizza and the authentic Carbonara—and what a welcome meal it was. The carbonara was unforgettable: silky, rich, and perfectly balanced, with crispy guanciale that tasted like slivers of heaven. It was indulgent without being overwhelming—each bite just made us want more. The pizza, topped with a whole, glorious burrata, had the best crust we’ve ever had. That crust was so good we wiped the carbonara sauce off the plate with it—there wasn’t a single crumb left behind. We returned for lunch a few days later and had the Vegetariana Pizza and Caesar Salad. The pizza again delivered—generous toppings of peppers, olives, onions, and more on that signature crust. The Caesar Salad was a bit less impressive: the bacon was chunkier than expected, and the chicken might have been better cut into smaller pieces or shredded. The dressing also lacked that anchovy punch of a classic Caesar. Still, the seaside view and the ever-warm staff more than made up for it—it was a lovely, relaxed lunch overall. A few days later, we came back for dinner—and this visit was unforgettable. My partner is notoriously hard to please, but Bella Vita passed the test. We ordered the Burratina Pizza (yes, we really love burrata!) and the Gorgonzola Gnocchi. I did a little happy dance in my chair after the first bite of gnocchi. It was that good. Perfectly cooked—not mushy, with just the right bite—and coated in a sauce so divine I nearly cried. It was rich, creamy, and balanced in a way that felt masterful. I wanted to lick the plate clean, but the place was full of diners, so I did the next best thing: I ordered the Focaccia just to sop up every last drop. That dish alone is reason enough to return. We also tried the Chef’s Special Pizza and the Bruschetta on another evening, both of which were excellent. The Amaretto Sour stood out from the cocktail menu—well balanced and delicious—but the overall drink selection could be a bit more creative. Still, it’s a minor note in an otherwise outstanding experience. And then—there was dessert. My partner, who had sworn off chocolate for a few days, suddenly spotted a Chocolate Fondant being served at the next table. One look at his puppy-eyed expression and I caved. When it arrived, he nearly forgot to share. I couldn’t even be mad—the cake was that good. With its molten center, rich decadent texture, and just the right level of sweetness, it was heavenly. Paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it was impossible to resist. We tried to split it evenly, but I’m fairly certain he got 15% more than I did. And truly, what sets Bella Vita apart—beyond the food and those stunning El Nido sunsets—is the genuine warmth of the staff. Every visit felt like coming home. Their hospitality is effortless, sincere, and absolutely memorable. Bella Vita is now firmly my go-to spot in El Nido. Amazing food, breathtaking views, and a team that makes you feel like family. Don’t miss this gem.

This has to be one of my favorite restaurants in El Nido. Their pizza is absolutely amazing! crispy crust, flavorful toppings, and baked just right. 🍕 We also tried their pasta (carbonara and amatriciana), and both were so satisfying and full of flavor. 🍝 The vibe of the place makes it even better, perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring the islands. Highly recommend if you’re visiting El Nido!

El Nido Boutique Artcafe is a multifaceted establishment that offers tour bookings, a handicrafts store, and an open-air cafe with all-day dining. While El Nido may not be known for its food scene, the area boasts several noteworthy dining options. Midtown Bakery is renowned for its delectable donuts, while Altrove serves up delicious wood oven pizza.
The live musicians were very talented! And the ambiance on the terrace overlooking the street was ideal. Even during the rain 🌧 I truly enjoyed my time here. Plus free wifi!

If you are in El Nido, Artcafe is a must visit! It is one of the oldest restaurant in El Nido. Service is superb with a good selection of food and drinks. I tried their craft and draft beer (which are both great). The vibe is very chill, too! There is live music sometimes. But the most important of all, the place is a feast for the eyes since you would see paintings and murals everywhere. Highly recommended!

Service and deco is wonderful but the food left a lot to be desired. I orderd the Seafood salad, it came drenched in salad dressing it was very soggy and lacked the crunch you expect form a fresh salad. The sea food consisted of two shrimp stewed with tiny bits of chopped up squid and unidentifiable fish plus 4 small clams.. the whole thing was very 'wet' and not very satisfying especially considering this is a " main course" . My husband ordered the Lasagne he found tasteless and it seemed to have been heated from frozen. We had spring rolls as a starter and they were just OK. Overall the food fell below our expectations. The best thing I had that night was my beer which was ice cold and the lovey live music. Edit: we woke up with a sore throat and stomach the next morning

A quirky and vibrant place , nicely tucked away in the town of El Nido.... Good afternoon everyone , I hope your well , so I've been coming to this place quite regularly over my time in El Nido and the main feature for me is that , it's nicely tucked away from the main town. It has a small bar on the beach , a cool shop and then it's bigger brother opposite , which has a very vibrant and welcoming feeling to it. The food and drinks are decent and while I feel the price is quite expensive , for the views and cool decor , with a nice ambient blend of chilled music in the background , it makes it worth it. They also sell there own home made soaps , jams , cutlery and a few other items that are definitely worth investing in. It's deffo a great place for solo , couples and families , who want to unwind , have some decent food , invest in some quality home made products and enjoy the beautiful views of the beach. Have a beautiful day , God Bless 🙏♥️✝️

Oh wow. What a wonderful experience I’ve had at the Art Cafe El Nido tonight. I ventured out of my villa late in the afternoon, feeling pretty hungry. I soon came across this tranquil and divine cafe/restaurant bar and enjoyed a fresh seafood salad, fries and the most amazing vegetable spring rolls with a home made sweet chilli sauce. It was absolutely delicious and made to perfection. The lovely staff couldn’t do enough for me, all without the hovering and eagle-eye that you get in some places. The big, breezy balcony upstairs was so relaxing, perfect spot to start out with a chilled Aperol or two. Thank you so much. I’ll be back.

As a 34-year-old German who loves food and a good atmosphere, I was absolutely thrilled by this restaurant in El Nido! The combination of fresh **organic food**, live music, and creative drinks won me over completely. The food was not only delicious but also high-quality—you can tell they prioritize sustainable ingredients. Add to that the relaxed vibe with live music, and you’ve got the perfect way to unwind in the evening. The drinks were also fantastic—freshly made and full of flavor. Verdict: Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates good food, great music, and a unique ambiance. I’ll definitely be back! 🌿🎶🍹

Republica Sunset Bar is a charming and intimate resto-bar that offers stunning panoramic sunset views over Bacuit Bay in El Nido. Located just four kilometers from the town proper, this bar is the perfect spot to unwind with a cold drink while enjoying unobstructed sunset vistas. The menu features traditional Spanish tapas and paellas, including delicious dishes like omelet, patatas bravas, and tomato salted bread.
Great authentic bar serving hot and cold tapas which is prepared in front of you. Amazing sunset view looking out across the small islands. Friendly and accommodating. Great chilled music playing in the back ground. It's been our go to.

My new favourite sunset spot in El Nido, I stumbled across this place on my way back from Las Cabañas beach. It's a nice little bar just off the main road. It was a picture-perfect west facing, 180-degree uninterrupted view over the bay. Staff were friendly, the drinks were good, and the music was a great vibe. I didn't eat but the menu looked good and there is happy hour 5-7.

Great bar to stop off for sunset cocktails. An unimpeded view to the west in an elevated wooden bar. It's got a charm and character about it. The staff are good, the cocktails are decent, but the most memorable part is that stunning view. We didn't have any food though, but it looked like a Spanish tapas menu on offer. Happy hour also lasts through sunset between 5-7pm.

This was, without exaggeration, one of the worst meals I have ever had. The tapas were a complete disaster — the meatballs were so bad they were impossible to eat. The prices are high for what you get, especially compared to the local cost of living. The Wi-Fi was useless, and the final straw: we found two dead cockroaches inside the napkin holder. We even recorded a video as proof. I strongly advise avoiding this place at all costs.

Vegan restaurant
Taste El Nido, 100% Plant-Based Cafe is a popular spot in the heart of El Nido that fully embraces sustainability and vegetarianism. It's known for its vibrant and nutritious breakfast bowls, refreshing fruit shakes, and an array of plant-based dishes for lunch and dinner.
My wife and me tried this vegan place for breakfast, and it turned out to be surprisingly well. The place is air condition which is a relief in an area and it serves some of the best breakfast options here. Their menu has a lot of variety of vegan food, which is hard to find around. We tried their burrito bowl and a smoothie bowl both of which are fantastic in taste. The smoothie bowl was almost like a/which was too cold for us, but we managed it somehow, because the taste was very good. The burrito bowl was quite good with a lot of toppings. The ambience is nice and fresh clean The place may get full sometimes during breakfast, so there can be a wait time all in all a great option for vegans in El Nido.

Just came from Taste and had an Amazing Lunch. Got the Chipotle Burrito Bowl which was just Delicious. When it arrived i thought to myself that i would not need so much sauce but turned out i needed more sauce as it really enhanced the Bowl. Great Staff too. Happy to have discovered this Amazing Vegan Place.

The food that we tried is super tasty. Cant remember the name of the smoothie, but we first tried the blue one, one taste and we fell in love with it! We ordered another smoothie, this time we tried the red one, and it didn’t disappoint as well! Must try in El Nido!

We were looking for a place to have breakfast and enjoy a good coffee with non-dairy milk options, and it was such a pleasant surprise. The coffee was excellent, with choices of soy and oat milk. We also tried the Cool Blue smoothie bowl and the Banoffee waffle – everything was delicious and served quite fast. Highly recommended, and everything on the menu is 100% vegan. The only thing I would improve is the seating: I understand the space is limited, but it can be a bit uncomfortable to sit on the floor or small stools with such low tables.

One of the best decorated cafe with good wifi and charging points. Coffee is not bad but it is pricier than the rest of the cafe. An americano cost 170peso here. Highly recommended if you are working on your schedule and require good wifi and charging station for a few hours.

Ordered crepe, smoothie bowl, and biscoff latte and they tasted great. Value for money is reasonable. The atmostphere is mid for me because it has small area for dining in. All in all, I recommend this place. 😊

The food is absolutely amazing! We wish we had more time in El Nido just so we could go back again. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. The Cool Blue Smoothie Bowl is to die for—so refreshing, perfectly blended, and packed with flavor. The Tofu Burrito Bowl was another standout, with the perfect mix of textures and seasonings. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is friendly, making the whole experience even better. If you’re in El Nido, this is a must-visit spot for delicious, plant-based food. Highly recommend!

Indian restaurant

The restaurant allows customers to customize their dishes according to their preferences. The tantalizing aroma of spices greets you as soon as you enter the bistro, creating an immersive dining experience.
Loved the food here! Zac the owner is super friendly. They were in the middle of a power shortage when he convinced us to get take away but lo and behold the power was back! And we had delicious food and great service for a decent price 😄 Possibly the only rice in the Philippines that wasn't sticky!

We ordered the chili and garlic curry with mix veggies and paneer. 2/3 spicy level. Amazing food. We felt as though it was a little expensive and small, as you only get either rice OR naan and when we ordered extra naan, for 59p more, it was a very small piece. Paneer was also an extra 50 p. Food was incredible though so we weren’t mad about it. Would recommend if you like Indian food and are not traveling on a tight budget.

Came across this place by happy accident, the smell of delicious curry drew us in as we walked by. The owner was really nice, and helpful in helping us decide what to order by asking what sort of curries we liked. We struggled to narrow it down and just wanted to eat everything, but were really pleased with everything that we ordered. The staff were very nice and the quality and the taste of the food was impeccable! Would highly recommend this place for anyone staying in El Nido!

Oh man, this place is gooood! I’ve never had such a flavourful curry and the samosas, rice, naan etc are amazing. You’ll have to roll yourself out of there because you won’t want to leave a single bite! If you’re looking for a bit of a break from the local cuisine then this is the place to go. Also loved that the owner was from a town down the road from where my partner is from! Lovely guy and great for a chat, which just adds to the experience!

Situated along the bustling beach-side streets, it provides a relaxing ambiance with stunning views of the sea, island, mountains, and blue skies.

Beautiful view, excellent service and wonderful food. This was our 3rd time here. I ordered lamb souvlaki medium well all 3 times and it was cooked to perfection. My kids ordered the chicken souvlaki and they loved it. My wife ordered the fish stew that she also loved. The vegetables on the souvlaki was cooked to perfection. The onions were so good, my kids eat all of it even though they both hate onions. Hats off to the cook and staff for making our meals so enjoyable. We will definitely return.

Waited for more than 30 mins for our order. 👎🏻 The resto was not even full at that time. Taste was ok. I liked the yogurt dip. Nice view. They only accept cash. Restroom was not clean. Service was ok. Spent ₱605 for chicken souvlaki and a soda in can (with service charge).

Went for lunch on a Friday in May 2025. Weather was treat and so was the view in this restaurant. They are in the beach front, situated in the heart of El Nido town. The food, amazing! The servers were all nice and accommodating. Shoutout to Ate Michelle 😊 We ordered Pita and Hummus, lamb chops (big serving), Salmon pasta, Souvlaki (they were so nice to allow me to have both chicken and seafood), lamb salpocao (must-try). Price per head: ~1,000 pesos including our drinks.

Cafe Athena offers a nice mix of Mediterranean flavors in El Nido. I tried the Prawn Aglio Olio which was simply seasoned with garlic and olive oil over garlic parmesan pasta and it was decent. The Mediterranean Dips were enjoyable with hummus, htipiti, and baba ganoush served alongside pita bread that was thicker than usual, making it hearty and filling. My favorite of the lunch was the Cafe Athena Chopped Salad with mixed greens, blue cheese, pears, walnuts, and a Greek vinaigrette. The blend of flavors from the cheese, vinaigrette, and crisp greens came together beautifully and made this dish stand out. Overall, a pleasant spot for Mediterranean food in El Nido - specially if you sit in front of the sea.

We had the flaming cheese as a starter to share followed by a chicken souvlaki! Delicious flavours and great quality meat and the roasted vegetables and sauces were very garlicky and flavourful! Lovely view out to the sea and friendly service- relaxing atmosphere listening to the sea! Great choice of fresh juices I had the pineapple and mint juice which was very refreshing!!

We returned to this bar several times during our stay!

Menu is small and prices arent bad for being beach front. They had two really great singers but it was so loud you couldn’t even order your food or speak to anyone at your table. Definitely need to turn down the music a lot. Food was good, portions were nice, staff was friendly.

" cool restaurant beach bar with indie lounge / vibes , however , had to deduct 1 star for being treated unfairly " So the first time I came in to this place , it was at night and I have to admit , the DJ that was playing , really put me of from doing a review on this place..... However , patience is important and I decided to come back another time to see if there was a different vibe. Glad I did , as I came back in the later afternoon , when it was very chilled , not many people here , very chilled lounge / indie vibes and the experience was a lot more enjoyable. I also tried one of the pork burritos here , and defiantly took me by surprise with the first bite. Very Filling , loved the pineapple subtle sweetness in the background , wrap was warm and pretty decent , my only gripe is that , the salad was missing from the wrap 🤦.... it was just on the side...if this had been chopped up and put inside the wrap , with maybe a decent dip on the side , i think this could of easily been one of the best wraps in el Nido. The price is decent for what you get , so I would definitely get this again , however , in order to make this even better , I hope maybe the manager or staff can take on board my positive , constructive criticism, other than that , very tasty wrap / burrito. The service wasn't immense or amazing , but to be honest , the type of this place is , it's kind of a very laid back vibe so It kind of works in a strange way. Service charge is included and respect to the barman who noted what I said and perhaps gave me slightly a bit more than what I should of got given. A little goes a long way for me and for that tiny little extra he gave me , along with everything else , definitely made me want to come back another time....so congrats !!! There is also an upstairs , that isn't quite as big as downstairs , but still big enough to hold maybe 20/30 people. Right , I think that about covers it , time to bounce people and one more thing "I love you Philippines , thank you God for giving me the opportunity to finally be free" Sadly , I've had to deduct the rating , as I returned to this place in the evening and was kicked out because I was connecting to people to Jesus Christ and a typical English drunk woman , decided to try and insult me by raising her middle fingers at me, I told her that I love her and hope one day she comes to Christ , I left and went back inside , only to then be kicked out by a security guard 🤦🤦🤦 but I'm not bitter and hope one day she and her atheist friends , comes to a realisation that there is a higher power than themselves and that we're all connected. I won't be coming back to this venue tho. May the lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ. God bless 🙏 ♥️ ✝️

Bakery
Midtown El Nido Bakery, located in Downtown El Nido, is a must-visit for its freshly baked buns and delicious bread. While it may not offer fancy Western pastries, the bakery's hot-out-of-the-oven treats are priced affordably between 2PHP to 25PHP. Visitors can line up for their popular banana bread and coconut-filled bread. These affordable pastries and bread make for perfect treats before or after island hopping tours.
I had an overpriced breakfast at a place across the street and was craving something sweet. Stepped out and saw this real authentic, non-touristy looking, out-of-place bakery. I was full from the breakfast so I just took one donut for 10 pesos if I remember the price correctly. It was hands-down the best plain donut I ever had in my life. No exaggeration. It was my last day in The Philippines and I was taking the van to PPS. My only regret was not carrying a bag full of those donuts for the ride.

It was a bit busy when I went in the afternoon and I decided to try a couple of pastries. It was disorderly when you get to the front of the line. There are nice signs to tell you what the pastries are and for how much they are sold for. It’s everyone fending for themselves, you must get the attention of a worker before someone else pushes past you to get helped first. By the time I got the attention of the worker, she was clearly annoyed when she could tell I was a foreigner and was rushing to get me to order. I quickly pointed to a cookie and she ask “anything else” multiple times. I did end up pointing to another pastry and said that was all. It was fairly cheap at 10 pesos for two pastries. It’s really hard to make a decision on what to get when you don’t know the items and how much they cost. The service wasn’t great. The pastries were mediocre.

Fantastic little authentic bakery, selling a wide selection of local and international pastries, cakes and sweat and savoury breads. The local foods are the cheapest with the more international options being a little higher in price, so the prices do vary a bit. However this is totally to be expected as producing a local sweat bread or making a simple ring donut is much cheaper than producing a pain au chocolat for example. Having said that even the higher priced items are still very inexpensive really. It does get a bit chaotic at busy times but this just highlights how popular and how good the bakery is. The staff are super friendly and helpful too and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the different items for sale. This bakery is a great place to grab a breakfast on the go or a sweat treat or snack at any time of day. It's one of the few places in El Nido offering food at local prices and not fleecing tourists like most of the other places in El Nido. I highly recommend this bakery, I went here every day during my stay in El Nido.

The best place in El Nido! The average pastery costs between 3 to 5 pesos !!! The donuts and vanilla buns are heaven! We tried new things everyday and ate about 10 donuts a day. It’s a wonder I didn’t roll out of the island! Heads up, don’t get the banana bread it’s 45 and kind of dry!

Angel Wish is a must-visit restaurant in El Nido, offering a unique dining experience with its stunning sea view and limestone cliffs. Despite its initial dark ambiance, the back area provides an amazing setting to enjoy your meal while overlooking the water. The restaurant serves affordable dampa-style seafood by the beach, allowing customers to choose their raw seafood before having it cooked in various ways. One of the highlights is the 4lb lobster served with chili butter dip and vegetables on the side.
OMG .. the food was just extraordinary! This is one of the best We went there for a late lunch around 3pm so it was not crowded. The restaurant had a great view and a nice vibe.

I found this place by accident, and wow! I’m so happy I did! I ordered a veggie omelet. It comes with butter, jam, bread, few pieces of fruits and an omelet. So fulfilling and tasty. And then I got banana mango crepes to go, and guys! You must try it. I was surprised that they put good amount of mangoes and bananas in it. Thank you so much, and the view was beautiful in the cafe. 🩵 Prices are also pretty affordable compare to most of the places in el nido city. I paid 600 something for two dishes, and in other places one meal is like 500pesos.

We are regular customers for years, time to give a rating. The ambience is just ok, but you can see the ocean. Once inside though, the food is incredibly tasty and delicious, if you make the right choices and keep it filipino. They serve fresh fish and seafood by weight as well as a regular menu, which offers the better value. Absolut favourites here: Kinilaw (Ceviche), Spicy or Pepper Shrimp, Baked Mussels, Squid Salpicao, Sizzling Octopus, Kankong and a great Mango or Buko Shake. We avoid buttered dishes and pasta as in the PH this often is sweet and not westerners choice. We came more often before, but were disappointed as 6 weeks ago all food prices went up 30% without any visible improvement. Still, authentic filipino cuisine, cooked with love.

Just had an amazing dinner at Maa’s Grill in El Nido, and I can’t recommend it enough! The food was absolutely delicious and so authentic perfect after a day of island hopping. We tried the squid in a rich, savory sauce (possibly adobo-style?), succulent shrimp topped with garlic and spices, and a mouthwatering pork dish with peanuts and veggies that had the perfect balance of flavors. Everything was fresh, and the portions were generous enough to share. The rice was the perfect side to soak it all up. The vibe is super casual and welcoming, with that homey Filipino feel. Service was friendly, though it got busy, so arriving early is a good tip. Prices were super reasonable too! Will definitely be back before leaving El Nido. Don’t miss this spot if you love real Filipino cuisine!

Nestled in the hills above El Nido, The Nesting Table is a bayside restaurant offering stunning hilltop views of Bacuit Bay. Accessible via a 10 to 15-minute trek, this rustic jungle eatery exudes a serene ambiance and boasts an oceanfront balcony with cushioned seats and hammocks.
This place is extraordinary! Every spot is instagrammable! It's actually the restaurant of The Birdhouse and just like the hotel guests, one must also climb the stairs leading to this place. It was a moderate hike up the restaurant but was very tiring especially for me who didn't have exercise for a long time. I think it's still not that popular with the locals because all of the diners there were foreigners when we dined so visit it ASAP before it gets crowded. The food, though, for me wasn't great but it's still good, I guess because it's all organic and no preservatives added and I'm not just used to it. Again it's just for me and we don't have the same set of taste buds. Back to view, it's very breathtaking! We will surely go back here if given the chance! We had our outdoor seats reserved days prior to our trip and the reservation officer was very accommodating even if we had erratic reservation due to unforseen events. Thank you The Nesting Table! Chirp Chirp!

Highly recommended to go during sunsets. My fiancee and I visited at night. A few things to note is that it's about 10 mins from Vanilla Beach, or 15 minutes from McDonalds. This place is located on a hill overlooking the bay, so there are quite a number of steps before you reach the restaurant. There will be inspiring signs along the way to give you a morale boost to keep climbing. The restaurant is great, very nice touches in design. Staff are very welcoming. If you are keen, do try to make a reservation, as the spaces in the restaurant are limited and tend to be booked up. Even though we were walk in customers, they were accommodating to us and let us sit on a balcony to wait for a vacant table. The food was very good (we recommend the pork chop). The owner greeted us and was very friendly. It is a good experience altogether.

Somewhat underwhelming experience. Lovely location and wonderful staff but the food just failed to deliver. We had the ceviche which was unusual due to the tomato based sauce, the veggie burger with banana heart pattie - the bun was stale, the pineapple fridge cold as well as the potato crisps. Most dissapointing was the chicken inasal with no hint of lemongrass or the calamansi honey glaze, and the sautéed vegetables were non existent. We were a little surprised at a service charge as have not seen this before in Palawan. This place has a long long way to go before it reaches the levels of Mojitos in Port Barton which is quite rightly ranked #1

It's a climb alright. But a spectacular view of El Nido's lagoon and good food and I mean it the meatballs the grilled fish the chicken adobo oh so yummy. The staff very well trained and friendly. Make sure to book way ahead if you the best view on the balcony for that romantic sundowner. The cakes with their French press is the perfect ending to your sumptuous meal. But make sure to bring cash or have a PayPal account!

The menu is kept short, which is for me a typical indicator for high quality food. We tried the Currys and we loved it. The restaurant is lovely decorated, very romantic. If you get the chance to sit outside, you'll enjoy a beautiful sea view. Walk along Vanilla Beach and keep your eyes open for signs to find this place. To get up to the tree tops you need to go up bamboo stairs (see picture below).

The place it's really beautiful, great views, relax atmosfera, goods service. However I don't give it the excellent because the food was quite simple and a bit pricy. When you see the menu you would expects something more sophisticate. A great place anyway.

Squidos Sport Bar is a small and unassuming cafe that specializes in seafood. The options are extensive and the prices are relatively cheap, making it a popular tourist spot.
Restaurant is on the second floor so you can miss it walking by it. Good views of The main Street while eating. Service was quick. Food was pretty decent to good. The eggplant was superb. The stuffed squid was alright. Overall not bad.

Looks good but takes too long to arrive. Also, seafood in El Nido is underwhelming unless you're willing to spend thousands on those seaside 'paluto' restaurants.

We ordered Fruit de Mare - it came is a huge plate with a looot of seafood, all for 600 pesos. The only thing is that crabs and shrimps were small. But it’s totally worth the price.

With its breathtaking views and laid-back atmosphere, you can sip on refreshing fruit juices or indulge in local Filipino dishes like vegan chop suey while soaking up the sun. As the day winds down, this spot transforms into one of El Nido's hottest sunset locations, perfect for enjoying vibrant parties with live DJs.
Great location on Vanilla Beach, a lot of different type of beach chairs. Food and service is good. Coctails are very tasty!!! Service is not as fast as in Europe nor US but I think it's just Philipinian style, nothing wrong with that.

When we were there (june 2025) the menu had both pages from the Beach Shack as well as pages from another restaurant in it.

We also had a couple of cocktails, which were fine and mixed well.

La Plage Restaurant & Beach Bar is a charming European eatery located right on the beach, offering a diverse menu and a delightful ambiance. It's an ideal spot for those seeking a seamless transition from day to night, with opportunities to swim in the ocean or pool, soak up the sun, witness breathtaking sunsets, and savor delectable seafood dishes and cocktails.
Great place to hang out at night! We had a blast here after having done several tours. The Ceviche and the Tuna Maki are delicious and recommended! Regarding the comments „food made me sick“, we also got sick while staying in El Nido and we learned that this is a general problem of El Nido. The „El Nido water filter systems“ have a bad reputation in entire Philippines. We learned you even get sick here, by brushing your teeth with tab water 😄

One of my most memorable dining experience. Epic food in a quaint and relaxed atmosphere. This place is literally a Parisian Cafe "Beach Version". Even the name "La Plage" is so appropriate. Then the food arrived with a presentation meticulously curated and beyond perfect. Oh my the flavors were Fresh and absolutely satisfying. I would fly to El Nido just to enjoy this incredible experience again and again. Merci Beaucoup La Plage!
Jaco S — Google review
I had an amazing time and delicious food at La Plage. I was searching for a relaxing break from the boat tours and this place exceeded my expectations. I got a comfy seat on a big materasse in front of the beach, protected by the shade of the threes, overlooking at the sea. The location offers also a pool however the sea here is very quiet and the send is soft without rocks perfect for a swim but if you are looking for snorkelling, this is not the place. Staff was nice and, despite what some reviews stated, I was never pushed to buy more then what I ordered or never felt unattended. And let's be honest, it would be extremely rude for a customer to buy one drink and pretending to occupy the beach front seats all day long. This is a business not a charity institution. Food was delicious. I had ceviche, that by the way was insanely good and well presented, octopus salad with a tasty dressing, and a warm basket of bread that I used to clean up the dish. I was also provided with complimentary water as, by choice, I don't like to consume water in plastic bottles to reduce pollution. I don't drink alcoholic beverage, so I cannot comment on the drinks, but they looked good. Despite having raw fish, I did not suffer any food poisoning, as many negative reviews are stating. I actually was so full and satisfied by the food that I had to take a nap after the meal 😅. If the problem could be related to ice cubes, as some reviews say, well I cannot tell. For my personal experience this did not happen to me, so I would say, eat with confidence. The ambience is so relaxing, the sunset view is so romantic and the chill music in the evening add and extra value to the full experience. My only advice would be to designate a space for smoking, as I don't smoke and there were some people smoking next to me, and this was a bit disturbing. One last note about another complain I read in the reviews, the extra 5% charge for credit card payment. I saw this in many other locations and it is not surprising me. Is it rare to find restaurants or bars or any activity accepting card payment in the Philippines. I think that giving this option to its customer is actually a plus. So, if you don't want to pay the fee, just pay cash as you do in any other business in the Philippines. Last, but not least, I forgot the umbrella I borrowed from my hotel there. When I realized it, it was already late as I was departing the day after and had no time to comeback to pick it up. I gave them a phone call and they were so kind to give it to a tuk tuk and have it delivered to the hotel, of course I paid for the ride, but they could have just said that they did not find it or not be willing to help. Instead the went beyond expectation. So my experience in La Plage restaurant, overall was outstanding and I highly recommend it.

Today we tried a recommendation from another traveler outside the restaurant. The meals were good and delicious BUT the portions were too small. It’s definitely too expensive for that what you get. The flavour is not all. There must be a good relationship between the price and the food. So we payed for all three portions about 20 EUR (~1200PHP). And we were still hungry after that visit. That’s a pity. Especially we ordered extra fries… .

Wow, I have not ever experienced a meal so bad. I am not in the habit of writing reviews good or bad but this one needs to be written. We ordered what we thought might be 2 Vietnamese dishes. Chicken salad and Tofu with minced pork with veggies. What they brought out was a sweet soup like concoction with floating bits of pork fat and tofu? The chicken salad was chopped cabbage, very dry with little or no dressing or sauce or flavor to speak of, with dry pieces of boiled chicken. We immediately asked to cancel the rice we ordered as they had not delivered it to the table. We then asked for the bill as we could not eat anything. They came to the table and apologized but presented us with the bill for the whole meal including the rice that was never delivered to the table. We paid the bill and left. They did not handle this situation well at all. We were fine paying for what we ordered but at least they could have removed the rice from the bill. Please do your restaurant a favor and remove the Vietnamese items from your menu. Its hurting your business. I can NOT recommend this place for the Vietnamese food. Hopefully they might have other menu items that would be better.

While the staff was friendly, we found the place lacking any real appeal. The disco/ bar. Was very loud. And very empty, 4 nights in a row. It just doesn't have that wow factor. Which we experienced in other restaurants/ clubs. ElNido is a place of long-lasting positive memories and adventure. District reminded me of a restaurant in Hong Kong. Where we hammered out business deals. Would not recommend. Not unless you in ElNido to settle contrats

We went there twice, once for food and the other time just for drinks. The food was extremely delicious. The chicken satay-like dish needs special mentioning as it was just fantastic. Furthermore, the Pina coladas were amazing too. I'd definitely be back here. The only downside was that a few items were not absolute. Recommend

Additionally, it serves Iloilo-style recipes with familiar yet unique flavors.
Have read good reviews about the place before actually dining here and I can confirm that it's really a great place to dine in El Nido. Place has a native feel - very airy and relaxing. The chairs, tables, plates and condiments all add up to the native theme. Food offerings are also great although a bit pricey, but I can say it was worth it. Servers were all smiles and courteous.

Amazing food here! We were waiting to find a place like this after going to 2 average places in El Nido town. Great place to stop by before heading to Nacpan beach or the waterfalls. We had breakfast there and also went back again for dinner. Staff are friendly and food was served promptly. For breakfast we had lamsilog (fish), tapsilog (beef) with unlimited iced tea and halo halo dessert we really enjoyed everything. For dinner we had cheese sticks, barbeque pork skewers, lechon kawali (pork belly), sigsig burger, leche flan (cream caramel - creamiest one we've ever had in our life!) with coconut smoothie and watermelon shake - all very delicious although Sigsig burger on the salty side.

Located 5 km from downtown on elnido National highway(very close to the airport in elnido) away from the crowded downtown area. it’s a open from 6am to 10pm. Location is a bit far if you don’t have a rental bike. You can stop by on the way to nacpan beach or the waterfalls. Food was amazing, hot and fresh and well presented. Very kind staff as well. Portions were decent and fresh juices on the menu as well. I would highly recommend anyone visiting El Nido to try atleast once eating here. Staff are friendly and it does get crowded as it’s popular. The prices compared to downtown elnido resto prices is much cheaper.

Find this place! It's about 3.5 miles away from the main area and will take you a few minutes on a bike but if you have one rented... MAKE THE DRIVE! They don't have a menu besides what's on the wall but this gem of a restaurant is a charming little spot to get away from the tourists, eat like a local, but also not be eating "shack" food.

Lured by the cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting, I went straight to Tambok's El Nido after work. Since I haven't visited in awhile, i was surprised by the homey yet classy ambience thay flooded my senses! It was like having an eye massage while standing at the counter as the helpful crew,Chab, wraps my order. The cinnamon rolls did not last long. They were decadent (yes, plural🤣😂, i consumed more than one 🤤)! They were made with love, i can feel the ❤️ as the rolls unravel in my tounge. They taste far better that the commercially produced c.rolls because they are not as sweet! Ok bye, I'm craving for another one!

Osaka Castle in El Nido is a Japanese restaurant located at the entrance of the village, sharing space with other eateries. The restaurant offers a variety of Japanese dishes such as sushi, donburi, and ramen that are known for their delicious and fresh flavors. The service is efficient and attentive. The seating area includes both indoor and outdoor options.
I think, this is one of the best restaurants in El Nido. I love Japanese food and the food was amazing. If I go to El Nido again, I definitely go here again. It is good to sit on the balcony and eat your food while watching the pedestrians down.

We always make it a point to visit this place whenever we're in El Nido, and the food keeps getting better with each visit. However, it's worth noting that there's no longer any air conditioning, and it can get uncomfortably hot—especially since the seating is close to the open kitchen. Hopefully, they consider making some improvements to the space. Also, just a bit of advice for foreign visitors: please don’t be quick to blame restaurants for food poisoning. The tap water in El Nido is not sanitary, and even using it to brush your teeth or rinse in the shower can cause issues. That’s likely the source—not the food.

I enjoyed this place more for sheesha drinks and appetizers. Also they give 15% discount if you use scuba diving tours from submariner diving.

The only reason one works really go to this place is for the sheesha. The food is very average. For a Middle Eastern cuisine restaurant, the hummus was barely consumable.

We had ice cream here one night and it was very good. They have only eight flavours, some of which finish sooner than the others. It is a good idea to add a vanilla flavour as it is the base for most ice cream. Also, the cones they use are for single scoop. Serving two scoops on these cones means that the second scoop is put firmly on top of the first, and you have to finish that before tasting the second one. Having cones for two scoops will be much better. Overall, their ice cream is very tasty.

Not sure what the bad reviews are for. Sure, service isn’t that great they just bring you the food, but it’s a seaside bbq what do you expect? Lobster is very fresh and prepared well. Came with a few friends from Manila a second time and they all said the food is good as well, and relatively inexpensive given the location.

I have a grill grouper and a grill pork belly for 400peso without rice. Grill fish is done well but would prefer the pork belly to be charred a little. After ordering, they will provide you with a number tag to be displayed on the table you have selected. Rice and drinks will be served when the food is ready. The upstair seat has a fantastic view. Recommended!

The Jarace Grill is a nice ambience for the tourists visiting El Nido, Palawan, Philippines. The guest can enjoy the beach while taking meals. It's great fun. Staff members are well-behaved and caring. They have nice fresh fish and other seafood collections to offer. But hygiene and cooking are not at all up to minimum expectations. If they can improve this area, they will be a must visit destination for the tourists.

Very busy with tourists and locals Friendly staff and not pushy Had three prawn dishes and calamari and garlic rice all great and tasty. Simple menu - grilled items per kg looked great too and were available for you to choose specific pieces to have cooked (lobster, fish, prawns etc) . At time of posting lobster was 3800php per kg . We just chose off the menu . Only negative was the Questionable toilet facilities, suggest using elsewhere .

The restaurant was recommended of our tour guide when we had a Day Tour in El Nido so we have to try it. Before entering the restaurant they have fresh seafood and some marinated meats outside the restaurant and we can choose and they can grill it for us. The Unicorn fish and the Lapu-Lapu taste fresh and good but some bits are too charred for us but the Crispy Pata was amazing! Considering the price, it is a big portion and quite lovely! Staff were nice but doesn’t pay too much attention to the customers and were just chatting sometimes and atmosphere is okay since it is near the beach. Overall, food was great and fresh, decent portions and affordable. 😁

Ukrainian restaurant
Odessa Mama Cafe and Boodmo Brewery is a Ukrainian gem in El Nido, offering a unique dining and beer experience. Boodmo Brewery, established in 2017, presents a variety of craft beers like Cadlao IPA and Pale Ale tailored for the tropical climate. Their menu includes Ukrainian beer chow such as mussels and shrimp dumplings with pesto.
I was here a few times in June. Nice beers and Ukrainian snacks. Their Ukrainian food was very similar to how I had it in Poland, so I think it must be authentic! Staff maybe a little bit too attentive! Once you finish the final sip of your beer they are already standing next to you, asking: 'One more?', but that's more funny than annoying.

Great owner - a lovely Ukrainian lady from Odessa. She and her husband started this place in 2017 when El Nido was not that touristic. The food was great and authentic, which is not easy to achieve here as you can't just buy the ingredients in a grocery store. They make Ukrainian dairy products from condensed milk imported from Ukraine as the local milk doesn't taste authentic! The selection of dishes is nice and also vegetarian-friendly. The beer is good and brewed right at the place - and wow, the brewery's equipment is from Ukraine as well! How are you bad thing is that the selection of beer was limited to 3 kinds.

My first time at El Nido and my first time to try Ukranian food. Although the dishes were a bit bland, I liked everything we ordered.

Silog Republic, located in Barangay Maligaya Rizal St., is the go-to spot for a classic Filipino breakfast that won't break the bank. With meals priced at less than 100PHP, it's a rare find in El Nido. The roasted chicken and crispy shrimp are standout dishes, while vegetarians will appreciate the flavorful sizzling tofu option.
Food was great and at a cheap price compared to other food establishments within the area.

Over priced, corned beef was the same served in regular silogan everywhere. Rice was not old and frying it doest masked the fact that it is. Putting raw onions will not make the food taste better. Dont be lazy and walk a little bit further to get your money's worth.

The food is fantastic. This restaurant has a 'local' feel. Not a 'trendy' restaurant. In fact, with all the European, Australian, and American tourists in El Nido I was the only obvious non-Filipino that I saw going here. I liked it better than some of the beachside pubs for food.

Local restaurant. Price is ok comparing to some other restaurants around here. But taste could be better. Be aware that it is too salty. Actually I wanna try the grilled chicken at the place next to Silog. But the man pointed us Silog, we thought we could only order grilled chicken from there. Then the waiter at Silog said there is no grilled chicken here (WTH??!)

In a place where exquisite restaurants and fresh from the sea chow places, this place is a budget friendly store for you.

A restaurant specializing in authentic Chinese cuisine, Fat Choy Chinese El Nido is located in a beautiful white cove in Lio, about 15 minutes north from the town proper. The restaurant has been consistently rated as one of the best mandarin restaurants on Palawan Island and offers both lunch and dinner options with prices starting at around P350 ($7).
Solid Chinese joint right next to Lio Beach! The fried tofu itself didn’t quite live up to my expectations, but the sauce was delicious, as well as every other dish! I would’ve happily gone again, pricing wasn’t even too bad considering the location. The eggplant and pork was especially tasty. If you’re checking out Lio Beach (which you should, there are dank sun lounge chairs, great sand, fewer people, and a sick sunset view), Fat Chou is the surefire way to go.

Super nice restaurant near one of the most beautiful beaches in EL Nido (Las Cabañas). Good quality food, fresh ingredients and very well cooked. The staff is super nice and friendly also. This is in fact the best restaurant we have been so far in Palawan Island. The only con would be the price which in my opinion is a bit expensive. A meal for 2 costed around 1500 pesos, which is not a big value for the states or Europe but is in the Philipines.

Fabulous food, drinks, service & people! I read about Local Provisions in a magazine and went there my first evening in El Nido. My goodness it was so good, and the owners Barb (the baker) and Kurt (the chef) are so welcoming, kind, and fun! I ended up staying long after my meal (and enjoyed a few drinks) just talking with them. I ate there for one meal a day...that's how good it was! I only skipped one dinner and that was to go to the Barb's & Kurt's favorite local Filipino spot! But I did spend happy hour with them! :) Everything I had was simply fantastic. I tried everything from crispy seafood spring rolls to clam & fish pasta (add the amazing house cured bacon!) to the goat flatbread to the catch of the day. Plus at least one of their craft cocktails each day, too! And I was staying at a resort with one of the restaurants that has some of the highest reviews! It just doesn't compare to Local Provisions!! Everything is fresh that day, the seafood is caught that morning & cleaned and fileted by Kurt himself, the bacon is house -cured, the cocktails are infused in house, etc. Oh and if you're into spicy -- DEFINITELY ask for Kurt's chili paste!! He roasts local chilis and makes a fantastic chili paste that I seriously wanted to bottle and bring home to Texas!!!

Two innovative chefs, Kurt and Barbra, take local fish and fresh fruit and veggies into new culinary territory. Coulis, jams, breads and savory crisps are freshly-made, in-house daily. Smoked chicken, boar, fish, as well as veggie options, crisp organic salads, fruit smoothies, and small plates provide choices for nearly everyone’s taste. 😋 The mains on the menu change daily. I always want to come back again to see what else they have created next. Cold beer, wine, and mixed drinks make it a great place to refresh after a day at the beach. Modest prices too 👍🏻👍🏻

Bulalo Plaza is a popular open-air eatery located on the road to Corong Corong, offering authentic and delicious Filipino cuisine. The restaurant is known for its generous portions of fresh-cooked Pinoy dishes, prepared using traditional methods such as cooking over firewood. Visitors can savor a variety of local favorites, including black squid adobo, sizzling pork, seafood curry, and tuna with egg.
The place was ok. It was very accessible since it is near the road. The service was fast. We only ordered bulalo and it was remarkable. The meat was soft and the soup was delicious. Overall the dish was very hearty it’s good for drunk people to sober up. The price was just right for the serving.

Delicious Food, But Long Wait The food was really good—some of the best bulalo and binagoongan I’ve ever had! Flavorful and satisfying. However, the wait time was very long. We waited for almost an hour for our food, even though there was only one other table dining in the restaurant. That was a bit disappointing, especially since it wasn’t busy at all.

BEWARE!!!!!! My wife and I ordered a noodle dish with vegetables and a choice of a meat, in which we chose chicken. It took about about 25min to come out, and when it did there was chicken bone throughout the entire meal, even through the noodles. There were random shards of bone without any meat even attached, scattered through the food. We also noticed there were blue pieces of plastic all through the food also. It's a shame as the noodles and veg tasted quite good. I would strongly avoid this restaurant or definately make sure you know what your ordering. The pile of food on the third plate on the left hand side was all the bone. You can see the blue pieces of plastic on the napkin.

The staff is really nice and speaks good English. We came here several times and had a mixed experience with the food we ordered. The tortang talong was good one day and not the best the next. The vegetarian curry is quite tasty! It's small though, and you need to order rice separately (20 pesos for a cup). Their spicy sauce is quite nice but really hot so be careful. They give you free water at the start of the meal -- that's how you know it's an authentic Filipino restaurant. Overall, it's worth trying. The food is okay and reasonably priced (for El Nido). But, just like most places in Palawan, vegetarian dishes cost more than ones with meat. Always ask about the ingredients as some dishes may seem vegetarian but contain shrimp paste.

Biryani Kitchen in El Nido is a must-visit for Indian food enthusiasts. The restaurant, owned by a chef from Mumbai, offers an authentic North Indian menu with a focus on homestyle cuisine. Their specialty biryani comes in chicken tikka, vegetable, and shrimp variants. Additionally, the vegetarian menu boasts aromatic flavors and rich spices with a wide range of dishes including curries and freshly baked naan bread.
5-Star Review for Biryani Kitchen • El Nido We had a fantastic evening at Biryani Kitchen! Initially, we were seated upstairs, but when a large group of backpackers arrived and it got quite noisy, the staff kindly offered us a table downstairs as soon as one became available – great service! We ordered: • Chicken Korma • Prawns Curry • 1x the Special Veggie • 1x the Special Non-Veggie • Cheese Naan Everything was incredibly delicious, and I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Indian cuisine. The curries, in particular, were bursting with flavor and perfectly spiced. The restaurant was very busy, and when we arrived around 8 PM, many new guests had to be turned away because there were no more available tables – a clear sign of how popular and excellent this restaurant is! A must-visit in El Nido – we will definitely be back!

I loveeee their Butter Chicken here! So flavorful and perfect to match with the rice or the plain naan. I prefer the Butter Chicken here. Cheese naan is full of cheese and so good but it has a bit of “umay” factor. I love how simple the plain naan is, perfect to dip to the butter chicken 😋 their naan are great for sharing too.

I ordered the non-veg thali and it was honestly shocking. Each curry was incredibly watery — more like flavored soup than a proper curry. One curry had absolutely nothing in it. Another had just two tiny pieces of chicken, both with bones. The third seemed to be a lentil and vegetable curry — not even non-veg, which completely defeats the purpose of ordering a non-vegetarian thali. Let’s be clear: • Curries should not be watery — they should be rich, flavorful, and thick enough to coat rice or bread. • A curry with bones and barely any meat is lazy and poor-quality — especially when served in tiny portions. • Tandoori chicken should be tender and juicy, not dry and hard like a rock. Mine was completely overcooked and impossible to enjoy. • A thali should not contain an empty curry with nothing in it. That’s just unacceptable. • While a lentil dish (dal) can be included, it shouldn’t be used to replace actual non-veg dishes in a non-veg meal. I rarely leave reviews like this, but the meal was such a disappointment that I felt people should be warned. For the price and the name of the dish, you expect quality, variety, and at least basic standards — this had none of that. I will not be returning.

Food quantity is worth the price. I didn’t see any indian chef there, local people were cooking and serving foods. As a Muslim my concern was if the food is halal? They ensure us its halal ( I really doubt if it is halal cuz only beef or chicken doesn’t fullfill the terms of " halal". It actually starts from how the chicken or beef are.cutting). Need to improve their ambiance. Employees are welcoming and well behaved.

Whether I needed help with tour bookings, restaurant recommendations, or just a friendly chat, they were always happy to assist. If you're looking for a place with exceptional hospitality, Spin Design Hostel is the way to go!

Booked this gem during their promo period and I was so glad I did. I was lucky enough to have the 4-bed hostel all to myself for the 2/3 days that I stayed and it felt like I booked the entire room. The room was clean and the bed was a double, so imagine my surprise. Only downside was that time I was in the shower and there was no water so I had to improvise. Still, I was able to rinse off in the end. I was also happy that I had a free breakfast included in my booking, that way I no longer had to think where to eat early in the morning before the tours. The entire place, though a bit situated a few hundred meters from the town itself, it was perfect because it was not that busy. A perfect place tucked in the perfect paradise. The staff were so accommodating, they even booked my tricycle to the airport because I will be leaving early. Overall, if I were to solo travel again, would definitely book this hostel again and again and again.

I stayed at two other places in El Nido before coming to Spin (one hostel and one hotel), and Spin was by far the best choice — I even extended my stay. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made a big difference. They serve a very complete breakfast (considering that even a simple omelet in town costs around 220 PHP, this is a great value). The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well-maintained. On top of that, Spin makes everything super convenient by offering tours and scooter rentals directly at the hostel. The location is also perfect — close to the port, restaurants, and bars, but still quiet enough to relax. Definitely the place I would recommend in El Nido

One of the Best hostels in El Nido. Nice n clean rooms n toilets. The hospitality of the manager - Don & all the staff was great especially Tātā at the frontdesk was very kind and helpful. I really love the hostel. 10 on 10.

Nicely designed hotel with somewhat unconventional setup geared towards a young crowd of backpackers. Private rooms are small and “economical” with lots of light and a nice shower. My bed light didn’t work, the toilet had a leak at the bottom and the plasticky duvet came unhygienic without a duvet cover or flat sheet. The price clearly exceeds the spartan interior of the room despite the nice design elements and proximity to downtown.

Pizza restaurant
Italian restaurant
Gorgonzola Pizza & Pasta is a charming restaurant located at the northern edge of El Nido town, offering a picturesque view of the beach. The menu mainly features European and International cuisines. While some have mixed feedback about this spot, many visitors enjoyed their flavorful vegetarian pizzas and pasta dishes made with fresh ingredients. The restaurant operates on a sharing table concept, providing an opportunity to socialize with other patrons.
Fantastic pizza at a reasonable price.. What's up everyone , Soldier of Christ here , hope your all well. This is one of the best pizza restaurants in el Nido. The pizzas are cooked fresh here and come at a whopping 16 inch for a small and I think 20/24 inch for a large! While the meat lovers may not be fond of this place as it's vegetarian , I can say that the classic Margherita is worth every single pesos. For the size and quality of this pizza , it's hard find a better deal out there. Highly recommend. Have a beautiful day everyone , God bless ✝️ 🙏 ♥️

We ordered pastas as we weren’t sure what size the pizzas were. Luckily we didn’t order the “Large” pizza as it was INSANELY big (made for 4 people easily). Pastas were nice. Got their special squid ink spaghetti which wasn’t what I was expecting, but it was delicious (more cheesy and garlicky than expected). You order at the front, CASH ONLY. Reasonable prices for the pasta and pizza given the giant sizes you can get for the pizza!

Ridiculously delicious pizza! Very busy restaurant. Every time my friend and I went here, there was no empty seating available and the way it works is that you find a seat and then order and pay for the pizza. On our next to last night we were determined to get a seat and try this pizza out! We spotted two empty seats next to two couples and finally our mission was accomplished. The pizza was incredible. I loved the taste! It was huge and quite a struggle to finish though we did eventually! Definitely recommend trying the pizza here!

We ordered lagre pizza as we were so hungry but didn’t know that large is very very large for 2 ppl. And they didn’t have the courtesy to advise us. The tiramisu is not good But the papaghanog is very good and the pasta as well.

I recently dined at this restaurant and was impressed by the quality of their pizza 🍕 and pasta 🍝. I'm someone who values good food and is willing to wait for dishes that are made with care and attention to detail. The restaurant delivered on that front - the flavors were rich, the ingredients fresh, and the overall presentation was great. If you're looking for a place that prioritise quality over speed, I'd recommend this spot for a satisfying pizza or pasta meal. Dining in during low peak hours can be a great experience 😊. You might enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere, potentially quicker service since there's less crowd, and maybe even more personalised attention from the staff.

We had probably the biggest pizza I’ve ever seen a 24-inch Margherita! There were three of us and we barely managed to finish it. The quality was amazing, and I love how vegan-friendly the place is. Definitely coming back here again! Btw it’s my third time

Hotel
The Cavern Pod Hotel & Specialty Cafe in El Nido, Palawan offers unique and affordable accommodation with cozy pod-style beds. Run by a Filipino-American couple passionate about coffee and vegan cuisine, the hotel features an industrial-chic eatery with plenty of vegan options. The hostel provides clean and spacious dorms, lockers, and towels for guests. While the cafe's prices may be a bit high for some, it is praised for its great coffee and food.
First of all, the stuff is incredibly helpful and friendly. The facilities were really clean, the beds are quite large and comfy. We really enjoyed the design of the building / rooms and their breakfast! If you demand a place in downtown, you have to look for other accommodations. But streets there are, due to the tricycles, really noisy.

Came here for the pure vegan cafe, which had tons of options. The owners of it are the same of taste cafe in town, so 2 of the dishes were the same but cavern had more options. We wanted the pizza but they didn't have it so couldn't dry it. opted for the power bowl and veggie burger and they were both delicious and filling. Would recommend more fans for the place, that's about it. Thank You to the amazing staff for serving us with such hospitality!

Fantastic design, nice and friendly staff, clean rooms! Food they serve is just mouth-watering! The vegan burger was just delicious. The only downside is that the shower was a bit dirty, broken and there was no warm water. Also the WiFi was very very poor, nearly non-existent, so don't recommend if that's your only source of connection.

Maybe one of the best hostel designs I've ever seen. Great attention to details and a lot of things taken in to account while designing the place. Clean beds and well designed sleeping quarters, our room had 2 bunk beds, private shower /toilet and a changing room. Luggage storage was also well designed, you won't wake up because of the noise from that so easily. I do find the name of the place to be a bit weird. Cafeteria prices also a bit upscale. Wifi was really fast when working (the signal could hardly reach our room thou). Few cons: Location is not in the El Nido town, but still not that far away from it. We found the place to be a bit expensive and the breakfast was not even included in the basic price.

Lovely place, ideal for someone who wants to be away from the busyness but still close enough to everything. Very clean,staff is lovely. They offer coffee and food there,like a little cafe its a bit pricey but giod coffee, they also offer soya milk)(however as I said I found their cup size is too small(its my personal preference as I am used to large cups of coffee and price for it is a bit high) however the actual hostel is awesome. Rooms are clean and spacious, you ll have lockers and towels provided. Staff are great. Just maybe in the evening they should do something to get everyone together and have fun.but overall definitely worth it.thank you

If you're a fan of vibrant Mexican cuisine, make sure to stop by No Mames in Barangay Corong Corong, El Nido. Located just 1.5 kilometers from the serene Corong Corong Beach—known for its stunning sunsets—this lively restobar offers a delightful twist on classic Mexican fare. From mouthwatering burritos and tacos to zesty chili con carne and crispy nachos, there's something for everyone.
The Frida Kahlo margarita is one of the best margaritas we’ve had. We loved that and the Al pastor tacos! It was a great place for dinner, and highly recommend going!
Olivia J — Google review
I'm happy they're open again! 😁 (Went here on 07-Jun) We ordered Carnitas Oaxaca and Cochinitas Al Pastor tacos 👌🏻 The pink drink in the photo is the Frieda Kahlo margarita. The place was still on soft opening during our visit, so they only accept cash. I would have wanted to try the churros for dessert 🥺 but I was full already after my 3rd taco. Would be more fun to eat here in a group so that you could order more taco flavors, share, and get to try them all 😀
Chiara B — Google review
Small portions, besides the three tacos. The local salad was really disappointing, you will expect more on your plate for 380 pesos. The chili con carne was a bit too dry and sweet. I liked the vegetarian tacos best, but the dressing was too intense. I scraped it off Service charge of 5% but why🤷
Rune S — Google review
Was looking forward to trying this place based on the good reviews here. Although the food was nicely plated and served promptly, it just lacked on big mexican flavours and seasoning. Was looking forward to the cheesy nachos but it wasn't really cheese, just some kind of white milky, fridge cold white sauce. Weird. Fish tacos OK, although fish a bit sad and soggy. Would not recommend the veggie tacos. Super bland
El D — Google review
We might have caught this place on an off day or something but this was not good. The cocktails were ok and the service was good, but the food was not. Everything was quite bland and tasteless and missed out on Mexican flavors in general. Basic seasoning and spices lacking. The guacamole was not made out of avocado (maybe a little, but very little in that case), but on green peas. Understand if avocado is hard to get, but then 86 the guacamole and say you have a green pea salsa instead, instead of selling it as guacamole. The white sauce, some kind of aioli looking thing, split within minutes as well. Not sure what it was - we asked for sour creme but got this.
Vilhelm R — Google review
Nachos were disappointing--stale chips. Meat was okay but toppings overall were very sparse. Forgot to snap photos of our burritos but we had the Al Pastor and Chili Con Carne burritos. They didn't come with cheese and we were told we couldn't add cheese. They were pretty good sized burritos but didn't have a lotta taste/flavor, although they did come with some guacamole and Chipotle mayo type of sauce. The best part of the burritos was probably the seemingly home-made burritos wrap itself, which reminded me of Naan, which I quite liked. Great service.
Bilal A — Google review
It opened recently but this is the place to go in Corong Corong if you want a real coffee and an early, delicious breakfast (see menu in the photos). It opens at 7am and you have many choices, such as healthy sandwiches and smoothie bowls. We would gladly return to this place - the staff, the food and the owner are all awesome! (They also serve late afternoon and evening meals, but we have only visited in the morning. )

Cafe
Kape ni Manang is a charming roadside cafe located just outside Lio Beach, about 6 km north of El Nido town proper. It's a perfect stopover for travelers exploring mainland El Nido. The cafe offers a variety of Filipino favorites such as pork tocino, chicken Inasal, lechon kawali, and stuffed squid. Guests can also enjoy all-day breakfast options and local coffee blends in a cozy setting adorned with plants and lanterns.
Kape Ni Manang is one of the best restaurant we ve found in the Philippines and our favorite restaurant around El Nido ! Not only the dishes are extremely good and tasty, but the couple who own the place is incredibly kind : not only towards their customers (you'll feel like you're with long time friends) but they rescued many dogs and cats which they have adopted and also keep feeding a lot of famished animals. They have a big heart, and we love them also for that ! They also have a small part of the place designed as a small shop where you'll find some nice artistic creations ☺️ Try them once to discover real tasty Filipino cuisine, and become addicted like us !

First this place is far from many other place but I would go to it in a heartbeat. First, because I'm a sucker for Inasal Chicken and they cooked theirs with the right amount of char while maintaining the juicyness of the chicken. Second, the people are good souls that make you feel like you're visiting a distant relative. Finally, the vibe of the place with their tokens and mementos gave it a unique vibe. You might have to contract a tricycle to take you there, wait for you, then take yoy back but for me it's worth it. It's a story of its own.

"Best Filipino food I've ever eaten dad." And that's coming from a Pinoy born and raised in the PH!!! He's not lying though. My gad, food was soooo good. And the rice!!! Like a meal in itself! So tasty and yummy!! Everything was really so good. Everything!! "Maybe they have a magic pan dad." Maybe nga. Vibe was super awesome. Exactly what one would look for in a beach town - a bit out of the way, by the main road, owner-operated with very local island eclectic vibes but very clean and comfy. And unique!! Whatta place.

I wasn’t planning on eating or buying drinks since I was already too full from my breakfast, but I passed by this shop and suddenly got so thirsty!! I just had to get my favorite guyabano juice! I also love their batchoy, which reminds me of my trip to Iloilo. I wanted to try more food, but I was so full with their big serving. They honestly have some of the best sisig, inasal, and fried chicken. Manang is so warm and welcoming, and I love that the place is very pet friendly.🫶

We found this spot on Google Maps and decided to take a chance on it, and it did not disappoint 🥹🥹!! The inasal was really good, and their juices were so refreshing (we tried the mango-calamansi and their house blend iced tea, both delicious). The owners were super friendly, and we even got to chat with a few other people from the restaurant. You can really feel the El Nido community vibe here. Definitely worth the try!!

Amazing food and service! We checked into a nearby villa and asked to have the food delivered--they agreed despite the slightly difficult road.

Kape ni Manang is a must-visit when you’re in El Nido! Growing up in an Ilonggo household, their food instantly reminded me of home — rich, comforting, and full of flavor. It’s the kind of Filipino food that warms your heart and makes you feel cared for with every bite. If you want to experience the real taste of the Philippines, this is the place to go. Every dish is cooked with love and tradition, and the beverage selection is just as amazing — from refreshing fresh juices and teas to their signature kape (coffee), always brewed to perfection. A cozy spot with great food, great kape, and genuine Filipino hospitality — you’ll definitely leave with a happy heart and a full belly! Kudos to Erica and Jet for the warm welcome every time :)

Henris El Nido Palawan is a stunning hilltop restaurant offering breathtaking panoramic views of El Nido's glistening waters and mesmerizing sunsets. Accessible via speedboat and private shuttle, the journey to Henris is an adventure in itself. The three-level property provides a fresh perspective on dining, with welcoming and accommodating staff adding to the exceptional experience.
We stayed at the resort for 3 nights and was recommended Henri’s for the best sunset view in El Nido. we were picked up by a 4x4 car from our villa and were sat down around 5:45 for the start of the sunset. There were so many cocktails to choose from with some local twists/ingredients that we loved! The view and cocktails did not disappoint! We only got to enjoy a beautiful sunset on our last night as it was quite cloudy the other days but it was a perfect way to end our Honeymoon! The reputation for the best sunset in el Nido definitely held up! Staff were so nice, there was live music during one evening and was the perfect relaxing ambience. We also had dinner downstairs in the indoor restaurant. The steak was really good!! tip: must reserve a spot for sunset!

Did not disappoint. The view. Amazing. Ordered apps, salad, and filet. All prepared perfectly. Matched with sparkling, white, and bottle of red. The road is a little bumpy and hard to find but so worth it when you get here. If you're in El Nido and want an amazing view, food and drinks. This is the place Btw, I recommend calling the resort and arranging a car. Not tuk tuk ride.

Unbelievable view spot in el nido, arguably the best. You get a 360 view of the island and the beach. We went for sunset and it was incredible. Drinks and food were both on point. Would say make sure you call and make a reservation as we didn’t and you aren’t allowed into the resort unless you have one. The security were lovely and called the restaurant to see if there was space but could have been avoided easily.

Henri’s at Lihim Resort is worth the ride up for the fantastic view of El Nido. From the gate at the entrance of Lihim, they’ll call in a vehicle to bring you up to the restaurant. Be sure to have made reservations. We started with the Salmon Ceviche which had capers, capsicum, and Bird’s Eye chili. The salmon was chunkier than expected but the flavors were vibrant and refreshing. The Japanese Scallops served with basil, risotto, and caviar were a highlight, each bite tasting rich and decadent. We also enjoyed the Quattro Formaggi pizza with mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, and gorgonzola, a delicious mix of cheeses that balanced beautifully. With attentive service and an incredible setting, Henri’s delivers both in food and experience.

📍ʜᴀᴍᴀ ᴄᴏꜰꜰᴇᴇ ᴇʟ ɴɪᴅᴏ - Located right across the hotel I was waiting for a less busy day at Hama Coffee for breakfast, and what a delight it turned out to be! I skipped the coffee this time around and went straight for a comforting Silog meal, simple, yet exactly the kind of breakfast you can’t help but crave any day. Paired it with a zesty calamansi juice. Hama is busy, every single day, and for good reason. It’s one of those cafés where the energy matches the view: the sound of waves just a few steps away, baristas hustling behind the counter, and travelers squeezing in early to snag the best seats overlooking the sea. Service was quick and friendly despite the crowd, and while the seating isn’t made for long lounging, it’s perfect for enjoying a meal with that stunning beachfront backdrop.

If you're looking for a delightful way to kickstart your day in El Nido, look no further than Blend & Grind. Nestled in the vibrant Pops district, this charming coffee shop is a must-visit for breakfast lovers and adventure seekers alike. I stumbled upon it during a morning stroll and quickly became a regular! The coffee here is nothing short of exceptional—smooth, robust, and crafted by true aficionados.
Eat Kitchen & Bar (extension of Blend & Grind) Not only they have a beautiful and inviting interior. The flavors of the food is amazing. We ordered: - Pork Adobo - Thai Red Chiken Curry - Sizzling Garlic Prawns / Gambas Al Ajilio Food plating and quantity is great, depending to each person but I think the serving can go for 2 person. The sauce and flavors are amazing, however the chicken and pork meat came off dry. The Sizzling prawns paired with the toasted bread was amazing. Highly recommend this dish. Would go back again to try other dishes. The food service is top. All staff is friendly and welcoming. With the atmosphere and cleanliness - food pricing is worth it.

The burger was absolutely delicious 🤤😋perfectly grilled patty, juicy and flavorful, layered with melted cheese, fresh veggies, and a slice of pineapple that added the perfect sweet-savory balance. The bun was soft yet held everything together really well, making every bite satisfying. The house-made chips on the side were golden, crispy, and addictive, It's a great upgrade from the usual fries. Paired with their dip, it completed the meal perfectly. Not only was the food top-notch, but the presentation was also on point. You can tell a lot of care goes into every detail here. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you want comfort food done right.

Good drinks (smoothie and coffee), but the food is not good - at least not the smashed avo that I had. The gucamole did not look/taste fresh and the egg just had a weird smell. They gave me a free coffee when I told them this which is of course very nice of them, but just too bad with the food EDIT AFTER RESPONSE: Your response, in my opinion, has nothing to do with the quality of the food. My personal prefence about a situation like this is to talk to the waiters about the food afterwards. Because, as I said when I went to pay for my second coffee, I didn’t say it to get anything free at all, but to let you know for future reference. And fyi I didn’t order for takeaway, I thought I needed to order at the bar, which is also besides the point. I stand by that the food was not good and I don’t feel the need to continue to defend why and how. So no thank you on the whatsapp conversation. Have a good day 😊

Delicious food & friendly staff. Super relaxing start to the day. As a vegan it’s a perfect spot for brunch, maybe I will come back again for dinner?

Bar
Nestled in the picturesque El Nido, Maremegmeg Beach Bar is a delightful destination that perfectly blends relaxation and romance. Just steps away from the stunning Marimegmeg Beach, this beach bar offers an inviting atmosphere with an outdoor swimming pool and a cozy terrace for guests to unwind. The restaurant serves up delectable dishes, including enticing plant-based options like quinoa salad and vegan curry, making it a fantastic choice for those seeking healthy yet delicious meals.
The bar is perfectly located right in the beach, making it an amazing spot for drinks? Though the food doesn’t quite measure up to the same standard. The highlight is the breathtaking view of sunset- it’s absolutely stunning. You also get a great view of people going on zip line. Tops are automatically added to your bill, but you can pay with any card. If you are looking for great drinks and a fantastic view, this is the place to be

The food at this place is truly hit or miss. The starters we had were an absolute disaster—the tempura in the fish and chips was oddly sweet, and the chips were just store-bought instead of proper fries. The seafood tacos were overly spicy and barely had any seafood flavor. However, the main courses were incredible! The crispy chicken sandwich and the chicken teriyaki with fried rice were both outstanding. The shakes are also fantastic!

The drinks are good as I remember. The nachos have changed. I remember liking them when I first tried it last year. The vibe was still good though plus the DJ was really good. But the nachos are not the same. 🥲

Nice views of the beach, unfortunately average food. Presentation of the food was great but the quality of the meat on the BBQ ribs wasn’t the best, and the mashed potatoes were fairly bland. Definitely experienced some better meals in El Nido and the Philippines. However the staff was lovely and the general views were nice.

Amazing falafel and great to see a place offering halal food in el-nido. Fantastic service and food came quickly. If you are in town make sure to give it a try and you won’t be disappointed. I got the extra large falafel for 350 pesos and it’s good for 2 people.

“If you’re looking for the best falafel in El Nido, look no further! The flavors are authentic, and the portion sizes are generous. The Falafel Sir and Beef Kebab are my absolute favorites here. I love that they also offer delivery through Back Ride Palawan, so you can enjoy their amazing food right at your doorstep. The place has a great vibe, and even though they only accept cash, it’s totally worth it. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem at Brgy, Buena Suerte!”

I’ve tried falafel in so many places, but nothing beats the falafel here in El Nido! This place is an absolute gem. The falafel is crispy on the outside, perfectly seasoned, and soft on the inside—exactly how it should be. The Beef Kebab is also a must-try; it’s juicy and packed with flavor. Plus, the cozy atmosphere and prime location at Brgy, Buena Suerte, right by the H Hotel Building, make it the perfect spot to grab a bite. Highly recommend this place if you’re in town!

“This spot in El Nido is hands-down the best place to get falafel! Their Falafel Platter is to die for—fresh, delicious, and so satisfying. I also loved their Chicken Shawarma; it was tender and flavorful with the perfect blend of spices. The service is excellent, and they’re open late, which is great for a late-night snack run. Conveniently located at Brgy, Buena Suerte, this place should be on everyone’s food list when visiting El Nido!”

the falafel and shwarma rice wasn’t yummy. the falafel in particular kept falling apart and getting everything dirty. there aren’t even any drink options. accept only cash. they call themselves the best falafel in town but that’s just cause they’re the only falafel in town.

Cocktail bar
The Pangolin Cocktail Bar in El Nido, Philippines is a popular spot for those seeking vibrant nightlife experiences. This beach bar offers craft cocktails, delectable bites, and lively music to keep visitors entertained well into the night. What sets The Pangolin apart is its commitment to pangolin conservation, with proceeds from the bar contributing to this cause.
There’s no shortage of cocktail bars and lounges in El Nido, but The Pangolin distinguishes itself from the rest with great drinks, an awesome array of DJ’s, smooth atmosphere and very friendly crew of bar tenders who know how to keep the place lively. I went on three nights over a weeks time and really enjoyed myself. There was an outstanding DJ each night, including A DJ Called ER who was accompanied by a live saxophonist. When you’re in EL Nido and looking to party, check out The Pangolin. Things usually get hopping after 10pm.
EL B — Google review
A Pulsating Paradise for Electronic Music Lovers If you’re into deep beats, immersive soundscapes, and a crowd that truly gets electronic music, Pangolin is where your night should start. Tucked into the beating heart of the city’s nightlife scene, Pangolin isn’t just a club, it’s an experience. The sound system? Surgical. You feel every kick drum in your chest, but somehow you can still have a conversation without shouting. The lighting design is a trippy masterpiece—think Berlin warehouse meets Tokyo futurism. And the DJs? Pangolin consistently books top-tier talent, both local legends and international acts, with a bias toward the underground and the avant-garde. No cookie-cutter playlists here—every set feels curated with intent. The crowd is refreshingly eclectic—stylish without being pretentious, dance-focused without being standoffish. People come here to move, not pose. The dancefloor is alive, and the energy builds in waves, peaking well till 2-3am depending on the day. Drinks are solid, with a decent cocktail selection and bartenders who know how to hustle, even when it’s packed. Bonus points for the chill-out lounge upstairs—perfect for catching your breath (or smoke a cigarette) without totally leaving the vibe behind. Bottom line: If electronic music runs through your veins, Pangolin is your temple. Just pace yourself—you’re not going to want to leave. Thank you very much to its wonderful staff for making my nights even better!:)

First off, it’s right above the gusto gelato, I was wandering down an alley following Apple Maps. (My fault.) As you have probably gathered by now, most cocktails in Asia fall short. Not here. My wife and I had a whisky sour, and 2 signature cocktails (honey highball and the pangolin). Absolutely great atmosphere, great bartenders and phenomenal drinks. If you like good cocktails, look no further.

This bar was recommended to me aside from my favorite one, and it didn’t disappoint! Super cute that they give free shots before you even enter, plus they have a coin flip game where you can win free drinks. I got to try their best seller the pineapple with toasted sugar on top// The Pangolin!! and it was a total bomb! You can really tell the drinks are thoughtfully made, not just thrown together. Love that they use Giffard syrup too!

Had the worst experience with one of entitled clientele of this bar. We loved the vibe and the DJ was on point with the greatest beats. But my partner was targeted by the locals and called unacceptable derogatory names and we were marched out by security. We were there for a good time and enjoyed ourselves until this incident was imposed upon us for no good reason. So 1 star.

Jinjer Restaurant by Cadlao El Nido Resort offers a delightful fusion of local and international cuisine set against a serene backdrop with the soothing sounds of ocean waves. Situated on the north side of the port, it provides easy access via a charming village road. Guests have praised the restaurant for its superb food and stunning views, making it an unexpected but delightful find. Visitors have also commended the friendly staff and recommended stopping by to enjoy delicious meals while taking in the lovely bay view.
We came here because we happened to be staying at the resort and it was AMAZING!! The sunset views are magical. We sat here on multiple occasions, their tuna belly appetiser was super moist and flavorful. The lobster with the crab fat fried rice was perfectly cooked, bursting with rich flavours. Their coconut creme brule is a MUST have it's absolutely delicious. They do happy hour from 5 till 6 on cocktails, and they offer a wide variety, we loved every cocktail we had. Francis was the best part of the experience. He made our stay delightful and was super helpful and supportive. His energy is just amazing. The restaurant catered very carefully to my gluten intolerance and allergies, which was highly appreciated. All in all, I would DEFINITELY recommend this restaurant.

We had a great time dining at Jinjer restaurant during our stay at Cadlao resort. The drinks were especially very nice, the mango shake/daiquiri was so fresh. I enjoyed the food and the music they played was very fitting for the overall ambience. The real stars of the show are the staff who provided exceptional service. They were so professional, kind, and helpful. Special thanks to Miel and Francis! You both stood out to me so much in your ability to connect with guests like us and giving us important food and water safety tips during our stay in El Nido, even going above and beyond to give recommendations for our next stops in the Philippines. You are all so amazing!

I never make time to write reviews but this place is worth the effort. Ambience is perfect. It is by the beach and you will hear the waves while enjoying Filipino dishes with a special personal twist by the chef. There are other entrees to try too but we enjoyed the Wonton Laing and vegetable spring roll for appetizer. Loved the oxtail karekare, caldereta, tuna covered with banana leaves. The turmeric lava cake and cheesecake is a must try. And I had the calamansirita with every meal ; ) If you’re not sure which one to try, Francis is awesome and will help you out.

Amazing! Can’t recommend more! We were lucky enough to be staying here and because the food was so good we ate here many times over the last week. If you are not staying here then it’s worth coming out for, the hotel has a free tuktuk that picks you up from town center as well. The staff are all incredible, especially Francis who repeatedly went above and beyond to treat us like royalty! The food is incredible and most items could be made gluten free upon request. The staff were very knowledgeable on gluten allergies and very helpful to make adjustments so that I could try many of the amazing dishes. You need to eat here, the view is also stunning!

Gusto Gelato is a popular spot in El Nido known for its gelato and coffee. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is enhanced by great music. While some find the prices fair, others think the taste is just average. They offer dairy-free options like lemon and coconut gelato, along with flavors like salted caramel and mint chocolate. Customers also praise their crepes, especially when paired with ice cream.
Came back here so many times because the gelato is just that good!! They have a range of different flavours to choose from but my favourite combination so far has been the dark chocolate and ube. Unfortunately, they only let you taste test 2 flavours so choose wisely.

This is not Italian-inspired gelato at all – it tastes more like cheap, factory-made ice cream. It’s seriously overpriced at around ₱120 per scoop. The flavours are average at best, and I’ve had better from the supermarket. On top of that, the staff didn’t even fill the cup properly for the three scoops I paid ₱260 for. Really disappointing and not worth coming back!! Stay away from this so called “Gelato” joint!!

We swung by this place a few times and decided to give their gelato and coffee a try. The staff were super friendly and fun. The music they had on are spot on which made our experience better. The prices were pretty fair, but the taste was just average, nothing mind-blowing. Unfortunately, when we went to grab our coffee to go, they were out of lids. Overall, it's a decent spot if you're in the mood for a casual gelato and coffee fix.

Eating filipino food for days we were craving for a taste of home, so we went here. The restaurant is lovely, beautiful view from upstairs and the service was great, really nice and trying their best to be accommodating. We ordered the Eggplant Starter and the organic garden salad as a Starter. Both were amazing. For the mains we ordered pastas (vongole, frutti di mare and salmone). The seafood pasta were a little bit too salty for our taste. Apparently the saltiness is authentic South Italian recipe and not over salted for their taste. but it's still deliciously the most authentic Italian we ate in Palawan and at least they use sea salt and natural salts from the mussels instead of table salt.

It's sad to hear (from another reviewer) that it's already closed. Sharin' our visit from 2 years ago. It's a night buffet, so it's a good place to dine after a day tour in the sea. It's far from the city central, so we hired a trike to drop and fetch us back. Arrived just in time to get a glimpse of sunset. It's not a crowded area. Food just right. Restaurant also has a bar area. Since, it is in an open space, expect some bugs fly at times.

(Translated by Google) The fish tasted like it was days old, according to the cook the reason is that we asked for it without salt. The rice with seafood tasted absolutely nothing, zero, the same as the rice soup with seafood. Another fish, tuna, tasted frozen for months and it certainly wasn't tuna, although it was something similar. The menu says mango sauce and they serve a hash or vinaigrette with pieces of onion, pepper, etc., which according to them is a sauce but in no language in the world is it like that. There is a dish of prawns and squid that is the tastiest but, be careful, it is made with pieces of liver and the menu does not indicate it. The service, very friendly, yes. (Original) El pescado sabía a pasado de días, según el cocinero la causa es que lo pedimos sin sal. El arroz con marisco no sabía absolutamente a nada, cero, lo mismo la sopa de arroz con marisco. Otro pescado, el atún, sabía congelado de meses y desde luego no era atún aunque sí otro parecido. En la carta pone salsa de mango y sirven un picadillo o vinagreta con trozos de cebolla, pimiento, etc., que según ellos es una salsa pero en ningún idioma del mundo es así. Hay un plato de langostinos y calamares que es el más sabroso pero, ojo, está hecho con trozos de hígado y en la carta no lo indica. El servicio, muy amable, eso sí.
