The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including sinigang na ulo ng isda, grilled blue marlin, bicol express, and sizzling mixed misono. It's advisable to make reservations in advance due to the high number of diners. The establishment provides a welcoming environment for Muslim travelers and aims to cater to their specific needs.
I love this restaurant and I have dined here most nights whilst staying in Puerto Princesa. Every different meal has been delicious. The lovely staff have accommodated my gluten free diet and passed the request to the chefs. My favourite dish is the goat’s meat stew. Thank you Kinabuchs!

The Crispy Pata was great. The menu claimed it was not greasy, and they were absolutely correct. The chop suey was very light and the vegetables seemed very fresh. A nice balance of flavor. The best Chop Suey my partner has had. The garlic rice was "nice and garlicky". The Halo-Halo was the best that we've ever had (coming from a Filipina who has had halo-halo since she was a kid). Seriously try this!

Cozy affordable place for tourist in Puerto Princesa. The place is huge and they have 3 bar counters in total to make the service fast and convenient for their customers. They offer a wide variety of local cuisines and alcohol selections. The price is reasonable and worth it. A prime location within the city. They have a lot of staff to make it easier for the customers to order, guards for protection and sometimes police officers within the vicinity. Nice place to visit and chill in Puerto.

I remember coming here for the first time in 2011 and it was amazing and I absolutely loved it. Came back today and it never disappoints. Food was very very good - I’ll highlight the cashew fried rice as it was unique and I highly recommend it. Staff were friendly and very efficient. Place had nice ambiance, highly recommended if you’re looking for a good Filipino restaurant in Puerto Princesa.

our korean friends enjoyed their food, esp the sinigang! the mango shake was a bit sour for our liking, but it was ok. the fried tofu was underwhelming, but everything else was great. :) loved how chill it was—the ambiance, music, and overall vibe of the place. it's an open area, so it could be quite hot. the servers were nice enough to offer a table in front of the fan. thank you!

Kalui Seafood Restaurant in Puerto Princesa is a long-time favorite among locals and tourists alike. The restaurant offers a unique dining experience where guests are asked to leave their shoes at the door and dine on floor cushions. The menu features delicious seafood and vegetable dishes, with no meat options available. Set meals highlight the freshest catches of the day, while the fresh fruit salad served in a coconut shell is highly recommended.
We booked our last dinner here before leaving Palawan,the service workers are great and lovely. I requested a birthday complimentary and offered a fruit bowl with a hearty birthday song. The food we had was amazing. I love seafood in general and the Kare-Kare seafood? So good!
Janine — Google review
From the moment a customer walks in, the concept washing of one’s hands is a great indication that the restaurant takes care a in clean atmosphere. We slipped off our shoes and were guided to a table kept cool with over hanging fans. Like many seafood restaurants, it’s best to ask ahead what items are available on the menu. Fish, after all, is also as seasonal as fresh-picked fruit. Our service was of great quality from start to finish. The setting is charming, the art is an added bonus and there’s even photo op areas throughout.

We ordered sinigang, sizzling squid, and kinilaw, and everything was delicious. The kinilaw was the star of the meal, super fresh and bursting with flavor. The ambience is also worth mentioning, with a warm and inviting space and a traditional Filipino vibe that makes the whole dining experience feel special. Highly recommended if you want great food and an authentic atmosphere in Puerto Princesa.

Celebrated a special day here at Kalui, and I must say, I’d rate it 100/10! The food was amazing—especially all the seafood we tried. We had the Kalui Special for two and left completely full. The fruits were fresh, the ambiance very Filipino, and the staff were all kind and friendly they even reco a more cheaper option that we can enjoy all food opt. They even gave us a free mixed fruit platter to celebrate. The comfort room was so aesthetic (see attached photos). Very sulit for the price—we paid just ₱1,400+ in total, and it was truly worth it! 😊

I absolutely loved dining at KaLui Restaurant it was such a relaxing experience. The food was amazing; I had their shrimp sinigang, which was bursting with flavor, and a fresh mango shake that was so refreshing. The staff were wonderful and attentive! A fun surprise was the huge restroom with its own resting area. I also loved the unique touch of taking off your shoes and storing them in a locker before dining. You can even play the ukulele for free, adding to the laid-back vibe. Everything was perfect, and I’d highly recommend anyone visiting PPS to stop by this restaurant.

Kalui Seafood Restaurant in Palawan is an unforgettable dining destination where rustic ambiance meets exquisite flavors. Fresh-out-of-the-net seafood, lovingly prepared Filipino-style, graces wooden tables under soft lighting. Generous portions, warm service, and a charming, intimate setting make every meal feel like a feast by the sea.

Badjao Seafront Restaurant in Palawan offers a stunning view of the sea and mangrove trees, making it one of the most picturesque dining spots in the area. The restaurant is known for its wooden bridge adorned with colorful fabrics, creating a welcoming entrance. Visitors are advised to arrive before sundown to catch a breathtaking sunset. The formal ambiance includes live piano music and elegant lighting, providing a unique dining experience.
Great setting and delicious food. The eggplant with coconut milk have a nice smoky flavor- highly recommended. The curried tofu, green mango salad are also very nice. The people we were with raved about the [sizzling]  pork Sisig, too and the chicken. To get to the restaurant you walk over a bridge with great views of the restored, healthy looking mangroves. Nice views of the bay as you dine.

Wahhhh that was good! I love restaurants showcasing Filipino culture and architecture and of course, Filipino cuisine. Serving was big, definitely shareable for 2. Food was served hot. Staff were friendly and attentive. I loved the Binakol. Mannn, we will never forget that! Dessert was lovely after a hearty meal We can’t wait to come back and bring our family next time ☺️

Badjao! Badjao! Badjao! I just have to say... woohoo! They say first impressions last, and mine was unforgettable. As soon as I stepped into the restaurant, I was captivated by the stunning view of the sea and lush trees, with a cool breeze and a cozy, authentic Filipino ambiance that truly reflects the spirit of Palawan. The staff greeted us with warm smiles and friendliness, making us feel truly welcome. I loved how fresh the food was, especially the seafood, which tasted sweet and delightful. The grilled fish was perfectly cooked — tender and free of any fishy aroma — a sign of excellent quality. The all-season shake was blended beautifully, allowing the fruity flavors to shine through. I also ordered a solo tanigue (mackerel) sinigang, which was a little salty, but the generous staff promptly brought us a second bowl of broth — that was a lovely touch. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, thanks to the friendly staff, delicious food, and breathtaking views. If you're visiting Puerto Princesa, you definitely should come and see this place! The food might be a bit on the pricier side, but it's worth trying for the experience. Just a heads up, you'll need to take a tricycle or car to get here, as there's no public transportation directly to the restaurant.

This place is surreal. Such a beautiful and calm environment. The restaurant is over the sea which was mind blowing. We enjoyed our lunch. The food was very delicious. The staff was so friendly and the food was served within 10 minutes. The price was a little high but when I saw the location and tasted the food the price was so worth it.

The atmosphere is great since you would have view of the bay and if the sky is clear, sunset would be lovely, fresh air since it is far from the roads, and the sorrounding is full of Mangrove Trees

It’s a little bit far from the main road but it’s worth visiting. The parking area is also wide. The pathway to the restaurant is surrounded by mangroves, it’s so relaxing and it doesn’t smell bad. Majority of the tables are located at the edge so you’ll have a view of the water and the sea. We came at lunchtime and it’s very busy but they were able to accommodate and serve us well. We ordered pork kare-kare, grilled tanigue fish, and seaweed salad. All of them are delicious. The pork kare-kare is soft and the vegetables in it are fresh and crunchy. The grilled tanigue fish is cooked perfectly and very tender and flavorful. The seaweed salad is optional for those who don’t really like the taste of the ocean but you can try it and put a lot of calamansi in it and you’re good. They also serve fresh fruit shakes. We tried the buko shake and it is so refreshing. Because it’s far from the main road, you can ask the staff to call you a tricycle if you don’t have a car. Also, major credit cards are accepted here. #jezzdoit

Haim Chicken, previously known as Chicken Inato, has grown from a modest eatery with just two menu items to become a popular family restaurant offering a wide variety of Filipino dishes such as pancit bihon and grilled tuna. Despite the expanded menu, the signature dish remains the Chicken Inato, which continues to impress tourists.
Love this place so much the chicken is amazing! The staff at this location are so sweet and they always give us glasses of water for free. I recommend you try this place if you want grilled chicken that has lots of flavour and unlimited rice! They also gave us a free sample of a dessert they have and it was delicious! This location is also very big and clean

Food is great. The place looks like it can accommodate a lot of people for their size, but not their staff. It was graduation day when we came, so a lot of people were celebrating the joyous moment, and all the staff were really busy accommodating everyone, resulting in forgetting other people's requests. Still, the food is great, and the staff are very friendly. There is just not enough staff to accommodate a large group of people.

This is my wife's favorite food well fast casual in Puerto. Super super good. Better than Bacolod style inasal. Get the Blue Marlin and extra Ensalada (Sambal if you dig Indonesian food). The chicken is off the hook. We usually get to go and pack it as Pasalubong for our friends and family in NCR area. The staff here is awesome. A couple weeks ago we were there and there was the usual singer (awesome job. Be sure to tip if you can) and there was traditional dancing too. This place is the best. Of you are open to franchising in NCR let me know.

Captain Ribs is a popular spot for those craving Filipino-style grilled pork ribs drenched in delicious sauces. While there are options for vegetarians, the focus here is definitely on meat. The restaurant's menu offers a diverse range of Filipino dishes to cater to every taste, with their signature dish being the Ribs Extravaganza. The ambiance is inviting, with sizzling meats and aromatic spices filling the air as soon as you step inside.
The food was awesome! I had their famous ribs with mashed potatoes. The Nicoise salad was super fresh and had a unique take on a seafood salad. Their Cheese Stick and Chicken Quesadilla appetizers were equally delicious! There were two friendly cats there named Niko and Mimi. Make sure to say hi to them when you visit. The staff was really nice, and the atmosphere was chill and relaxing.

The BBQ sauce was nothing special, the meat was dry and bland, and it was clear the food wasn’t fresh. The fries were soggy and greasy, only halfway edible after dumping salt on them. They even burned the garlic rice. The ice cream was the only thing that didn’t suck. Total waste of time and money.

Ka Inato Main Branch is a popular restaurant in Puerto Princesa known for its unique and diverse menu. The restaurant offers a variety of Filipino favorites such as chicken inato, kare-kare, sinuglaw, sinigang, adobo, and more. One of the most interesting dishes on the menu is crocodile sisig. Located on the main highway side in San Jose, the restaurant provides a significant cultural experience with colorful sculptures and intricate paintings decorating the space.
We had an amazing dining experience here. It's not everyday you'll be helped by a deaf-mute waiter. Cool haha. The food was great. I enjoyed the "Kambak-kambak". Didn't like the chicken bulalo though. Too bad, the Chicken Inato Special was not available when we visited. And the venue was too pleasant. Good ventilation. Everything wood and brown felt relaxing.

Open area so no aircon but they have plenty of fans. We're supposed to eat at Ka Joel's but they were closed and our guide pointed us here instead. Food was okay! Loved their pusit, it was very soft. Communicating with their deaf and mute waiters weren't hard at all. I commend the establishment for giving them a chance! You can pay via card, cash, or even QR code. I paid via QR code. We spent 3500 for 8 people. That includes 3 pitchers of iced tea and all the food you see in the pic. They're fairly priced imo, they also have rice meals if you're not opting for the family sharing option.

One of the few places you can get hot fresh cooked eggs instead of the standard cold eggs in a pan, sitting g there for who knows how long. Brewed coffee, not instant, buffet has a good mix of hot and cold foods, no dogs roaming around, very nice NEW bathrooms, clean and artfully decorated restaurant. Wifi and lots of big fans. Just a pleasurable and inviting place to have a 2 hour breakfast 😋 may of the staff are deff, but you have a photo book of signs you can learn which is part of the fun in my opinion. Don't worry, some staff are hearing and speak English. They have parking on the side, and on the street. However, if you park on the street and a van parks next to you, you need a spotter outside to stop traffic so you can back out. This is probably my 12th time eating here, and I come back for good reason.

Bona's Chao Long Haus is a must-visit spot in Puerto Princesa, known for its generous portions of beef stew noodle chao long served in a simple metal bowl. The rich and vibrant orange broth, influenced by Vietnamese refugees who introduced their culture and recipes to Palawan, offers a nostalgic taste associated with memories of high school.
Finally got to try Chao Long, the iconic local dish of Puerto Princesa and wow, it’s a must for anyone visiting the city! Bona’s instantly won me over. The serving was massive, loaded with generous chunks of meat, and my beef stew was bursting with flavor. Comforting, hearty, and so satisfying I can see why this is a local favorite!

Puerto Princesa, Palawan We tried this infamous Bona's Chao Long Haus. Not much to tell except that I personally find it delicious. The red color can be a bit alarming, but we asked the waiter, he said it was just food coloring (atsuete to be exact). My brother found it too sweet. It really depends on other people's preferences. Their garlic and cheese ban has too much garlic for me. Overall, it was okay. The pork buto-buto needs a little tenderizing as it was a little chewy.

Ordered their best seller beef chao long and garlic bread. Their soup base is similar to pho but on the sweet side. I prefer the lighter taste of pho but I'm not complaining, given its price. I suggest that they roast/toast the garlic bread 😊

Nothing fancy, just pure delicious noodles soup. The noodles, though they looked soggy was surprisingly very well cooked, I just felt like there was just too much soup, but don't get me wrong, I am not complaining.

Noki Nocs Savory House is a popular spot known for its delicious halo-halo, a cold dessert made with layers of crushed ice, sweet beans, milk, fruit gummies, and a choice of toppings like ice cream or leche flan. Despite the name suggesting savory dishes, their halo-halo is a must-try. The key to their perfect halo-halo lies in the smoothness of the ice.

I was hungry and just needed something to eat when I came here. Even though the listed closing time was 8pm, they were starting to close at 7pm and was told it was take out only. There were no vegetarian options, so I asked for the egg and ham, but without the latter. Basically, two egg and cheese sandwiches with fries and a lemon tea. The sandwich were a bit greasy for my liking.

Great place to eat. Its affordable for anyone. Lots of dishes to choose from. The liempo tastes good for the price. Tuna kinilaw is kinda salty. Staff are friendy and the service is good. Ambiance is okay but its a bit hot when more people came in.

Noki Nocs is a Pinoy Comfort Food place. I love the savory meals and the Halo-halo! A visit in Puerto Princesa is not complete without their creamy Halo-Halo. It is soooo creamy with the shaved milk, and one would have a hard time distinguishing it from the ice cream, if not for the color. Definitely a must try i. PPC. Location is perfect! Near KM0 Puerto Princesa, making it easily accessible.

They served the dessert first, the Sampler A which was the main course second, and the fries last. The fries and mais con yelo were worth their price but only the palabok in the sampler A was tasty.

The best halo halo in Palawan... I ordered sizzling beef so far its OK... The mini silvannas they have is OK also though you almost can't taste its fillings...

Food here tastes authentic! I ordered the bun bo (beef stew noodles) and they tasted like the ones I had in Saigon. Portion of the noodles could have been more plenty, though. Also got the tuna banh mi. I loved it, the baguette was very crispy. Did take a while to serve and came after our main (which were the beef stew noodles).

We arrived later in the evening and were seated quickly. After placing our order, the food was served in a timely manner. I must say, the beef pho was quite delicious! The vermicelli bowl with BBQ pork and vegetables was fantastic! We also ordered the lemongrass chicken rice plate but ended up taking it to go, as we were too stuffed to finish everything.

If you don't want to wait an hour for your food, then DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. We arrived at the restaurant at 12:07 PM. Our order was taken at around 12:15PM and was served at 1:17PM!!! We had to follow up twice and were informed that there was an "advanced order" from another table, hence ours was delayed. They didn't give any warning that there will be some delays with the order. There were 4 other tables who came after us and they got their food before us. They were just three of us and we didn't even order a lot as seen in the photo.

as a first timer in Palawan going here for my first meal is actually a good decision 💯. the place has a historical background according to our driver that day. me and my friend got interested and ate there for lunch after the beach. the food is delicious. they cook their own bread and the place is actually very relaxing because of the interior. definitely a must visit if you're going to Puerto Princes.

I visited this restaurant on my trip to puerto princesa. The restaurant probably was good when Vietnamese people owned it. It is now operated by Filipino. The menu has Vietnamese dishes but they don’t taste anything like traditional Vietnamese food. I had Bò Kho bánh mì. It tasted awful and salty. After 2 bites, I couldn’t eat more of it. I told the restaurant to taste it themselves. They took the food back in the kitchen and still charged for the dish. They didn’t offer a replacement or an apology. If you are Vietnamese or people who are interested in Vietnamese foods, you should avoid this restaurant. It’s a long ride from the city. It’s absolutely a waste of time and money.

We went here on our way back to Puerto Princesa. The place was awesome. A lot of thought was given to the design of both exterior and interior of the restaurant. The outside was refreshing because of the lush plants in the area. Parking is more than sufficient for the place. The current Managing team of this place studied Vietnames cuisine and it shows. Their food was fresh and delicious. Their Vietnamese Halo-Halo was different but very, very good. Their bread are baked fresh and my friends made sure to buy some to take home. The only thing that was not so pleasant was the long wait for Service and billing. Unfortunately, they are not ready for the influx of people which caused a long waiting time for guests. Then it’s another long wait for the bill. But, we were a big group and aside from our dine in orders, many of them also had take out orders. So that accounts for the long wait. If you’re in Palawan, you should visit Viet Ville Restaurant. It’s worth the wait. :)

Located on Rizal Avenue in Puerto Princesa, La Terrasse Cafe offers a serene garden atmosphere for al fresco dining. The menu features European favorites like creme brulee, as well as fusion dishes such as adobo and hummus. Health-conscious diners will appreciate the vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options available. The cafe prides itself on serving natural and fine cuisine made with organic ingredients and no artificial preservatives or seasonings.
Great service. We were super obnoxious customers who lingered and did single orders to share, and the staff were very kind and gracious. The mojito carafe is a legit good value! They didn’t have the crispy adobo flakes when we were there but we got the duck, beef pita pockets, grilled catch of the day (tilapia) and mashed potatoes. All the food was fabulous!

I had the seafood tacos, and the crème brûlée for desser; the tacos took no more than 25min to get to me from the time I ordered and were very tasty but of a small portion size, it would have been nice for them to torch the crème brûlée at my table but it must not be the same everywhere... the part that got me started thinking was they only played one song on loop for the whole evening "but not for me, by Chet Baker." I used their comfort room and I really liked how it looked like a dungeon, I could hear the kitchen preparing all the meals through a small window in the room as well. The staff treated me very well and let me sit where I wanted to!

Artisans Restaurant in Puerto Princesa, Philippines, is a charming dining spot located near the Best Western Ivyhall hotel. The restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with patio seating and friendly staff managed by a Scottish owner. They are known for their diverse menu featuring steaks, salads, Tex-Mex fare, and cocktails. What sets this place apart is its accommodation of various dietary preferences, including vegan and vegetarian options.

As a proud carnivore, I ordered their ribeye steak—and I absolutely loved it! Cooked just right, flavorful, and satisfying. The price is reasonable for the quality, and the service was friendly and attentive. The place has a welcoming vibe, and I appreciated the presence of the foreign owner who adds a nice touch to the experience. Definitely worth coming back for!

I came because the reviews suggested it would be alright. In truth, the whole restaurant is out of date and out of touch. Poor service coupled with poor food and even nastier atmosphere.. the restaurant is in dire need of a face lift and some love at the very least. I'm guessing it used to be the place to go, and it's just surviving on that age old reputation now. My wife's fish was closely a frozen dish that's been reheated and fried. My honey and soy chicken is about as basic as you can get.. They had specials on that we heard other tables being offered but we weren't.. Chef visibly picking at dishes before they left the kitchen.. Weird musician dressed like a slob to be polite, then when he wasn't playing, the music went between classical elevator style music to hard rap with a heavy baseline and back to classic again.. weird. Overall a really really avoidable tacky place. 2/10.

We’ve come here a few times since being in Puerto Princesa and can say the food and service has been amazing. There is so much to choose from on the menu and prices of the food we ordered were around ₽300-500 per main (for amazing portion sizes too). (Chicken Parmesan, Caesar Salad and Brownie crumble in the pictures). Would definitely recommend the brownie crumble (brownie, caramelised banana and ice cream).

We had a mixed experience at this place. The service was very slow, and they took a long time to come to our table to ask for our order. We ordered burritos and asked if the salsa they came with was spicy, and they said no. However, the burrito was so spicy that it was impossible to eat; we couldn't taste the other ingredients. We ended up with stomach aches and didn't eat anything else. On the other hand, they didn't have sinks in good condition; you couldn't even wash your hands.

Each bite was like a ray of sunshine inside my mouth, flowers blossoming and all the nectar for me. I would bring my mother here. But seriously, excellent food and atmosphere. Our table enjoyed a 10oz tenderloin special with veggies and baked potato. Steak cooked exactly to order, good cut and the sides were over the top also. Chicken Parm was tender, delicious, only hard to finish the larger serving size. Finished off with dessert, Brownie a la mode which did not disappoint either. Great music streaming upstairs, I’m sure they would give you the remote if you ask nicely. Lastly, they have Elon’s WiFi from outer space. 10/10 The search is over, just go!

The White Fence menu is best described as a marriage between traditional American cafe food (pancakes, French toast, burgers) and local Filipino food. It is great if you have a mix of people where some may want traditional Filipino dishes and others looking for something a little less adventurous. The staff is friendly. The ambiance felt like stepping into my grandmother's dining room; cozy and random, cute decorations. I recommend giving it a try.

McCoy's Pizza House is a popular spot in Puerto Princesa, known for its affordable and delicious pizza. The restaurant started as a casual place with lounge beds and hearty meals, and has since expanded to include function rooms on the second floor. It's a go-to comfort food place for locals and tourists alike, offering combo meals with iced tea at an affordable price. The menu includes a variety of pizzas, including bestsellers like McCoy's special.
I’ve always wanted to go to McCoy’s because I’m a fan of watching McCoy’s of the Week. So I was really excited to finally experience McCoy’s meals firsthand. We ordered their pizza, chicken, and pasta, and I was so happy with everything. The food was really good! I was also lucky enough to meet Mama herself—she was so friendly, took the time to talk to me, and even shared some tips about moving to PPS. Overall, the dining experience was great. The only thing I’d say is that the lighting felt a bit dim, and the bathroom was very small. Not a big deal, but just something to note.

My brother and I ate here (SM Puerto Princesa Branch). People flock here as it boasts its pizza and pasta. Spacious Restau with nice and neat ambience. The food is affordable for its serving. Plating is neat. We ordered the combo meals which was plenty enough for 1, a pizza and mashed potato. I don’t like how the gravy as it tasted like a wet paper which will definitely ruin the yumminess of the mashed potatoes. The spaghetti’s sauce was watery which affected its flavor making it less tomato-ish. I like the soft tacos that come with it. The fried chicken was the usual friend chicken - nothing special. Though at that time, there’s a high volume of customers. The taste and flavor of food being served should not suffer. Possibly my last option if I am in PPC.

Vietnamese restaurant
Rene's Saigon Restaurant in Puerto Princesa is a modest kubo-style eatery that offers an authentic taste of Vietnamese beef stew, known locally as chaolong. Despite the lost-in-translation moment regarding the dish's similarity to goto, this restaurant stands out as one of the best spots to enjoy a steaming hot bowl of chaolong, served with mint, mung bean sprouts, and various sauces.
Rene Saigon in Puerto Princesa is a hidden gem for authentic flavors and a cozy dining experience. I ordered the beef stew, and it was perfectly tender with a rich, savory broth that felt like a warm hug in every bite. To complement the meal, I tried the hibiscus juice with pomegranate. an absolute delight with its refreshing, tangy-sweet flavor. The combination of hearty comfort food and a unique, vibrant drink made for a memorable meal. Highly recommend for anyone seeking delicious and soulful dishes!

Very inconsistent in food quality. The first time we visited, the food was very tasty, with a unique vietnamese flavour. The second time the taste was terrible with no vietnamese flavour at all. We've been told the cook was different that day. Spring rolls were so difficult to bite off, with very flat taste. Pork was very hard. How come two cooks can cook so differently. The consistency is the most important thing for restaurants. Not advising this place for such a disaster inconsistency.

I was so happy to discover this place and speak to Raymond and Rene the sons of the place. It was nice to connect with the family of someone who also was part of the Vietnam refugee camp. My mom was also part of the camp and learning that such a place is preserved to help build the community is inspiring. I hope that one day I too can help contribute and give back to Palawan who has helped my mom and me at birth. Seeing the blending of locals in this area with Vietnamese culture filled my heart.

As a first timer to try it, I love their beef pho soup perfect for the rainy weather when we went there. Big servings and the meat is tender and savoury. But 2 of us wasn't able to eat it when the soup is still hot and the noodles became soggy after 1hr. I cannot say that service is bad but maybe they just overlooked it or ignored even when we follow-up many times then came back to us to double check if we have 3 orders. At that time, the resto was not busy. Only few tables were occupied. Suggestion to waiters that you need to double check if the order is complete. You have the notes and we let you read it again to confirm. Thank you.

Our tour guide Jed had recommended Vietnamese restaurant Rene's Saigon. We came in on weekday an hour before closing and were only the guests. We met the owner himself Rene who I believe is Vietnamese that lives in Palawan. We got recommendations directly from him. We got Goi Cuon or freshrolls, Chaolong, Bun Tuoi Pork BBQ, Banh Mi and Coconut coffee The staff are quite fast and food got served in no time. Chaolong is good and its a distinct noodle beefsoap on its own. Its different from the usual pho I tried in HCM. My favorite is Bun Tuoi (rice vermicilli with pork bbq) easily won me over. The sauce mix with it made a lot of difference. Springrolls and banhmi are good. Coconut coffee got my nod, definitely a good concoction of coconut milk and brewed coffee. Not too sweet. Overall they had meet our expectation and its fairly price. An authentic Vietnamese restaurant must visit in Puerto Princesa.

The menu is solid, and everything we tried was tasty. One downside: there were quite a lot of mosquitoes when we visited, so it might be good to bring some repellent if you’re planning to stay a while.

Golden Hour Cafe is a quaint cafe located on the North Puerto Princesa Highway, 20 km north of the city center in Barangay Bacungan. This roadside establishment is a great place to stop for breakfast after a morning hike along the scenic ridge of Mt. Magarwak.
Lovely place, cozy and nature vibes. Stop over for some coffee and cakes. Spanish Latte was good, didn't get any picture though, you can taste the coffee and the milk was not overwhelming. You can enjoy some silence and my fur baby loved walking around. A lot of the customers were cyclist. Will be back to try on the other coffee and foods.

Golden Hour Cafe stands out as one of the most popular cafe here in Palawan Puerto Princesa. About 15 kilometers away from the city, the road to this cafe can be quite scary since it's mostly curves and near high cliffs. There's a beautiful view of the mountains where you can experience the cold atmosphere and the warm glow of the sun. The cafe stands out beautifully, with lush greens and decorated gardens. They come with parking lots for cars, motors, bicycles, etc. Most of the people who visit the cafe came from long distances, and most that visit here are cyclists from the city to take a stop at this cafe. The prices range from 50 - 150+ Pesos based on the variety of the food, as you can expect they sell coffee, snacks, drinks, and perfect meals for cold weather. The staff are quite friendly, they serve your food quickly in about 5 mins or more, and their tables come with a bell for you to ring if you ever need to call staff. Overall, I recommend coming a stop to this cafe and try their popular foods. And maybe you could meet entirely new friendly people and locals here who share the same interest. The only problem for me is that there are a lot of mosquitos everywhere, and I suggest they add smokers or something. 8/10

Would have been nice to have better quality bread though. Then i had the chicken quesadillas (they were good) and the tuna pesto pastas, of which i was a little bit disappointed. They was absolutely no tuna in there. I asked the waitress, but she assured me that there was. The only reason they lost a star in this review!

Just a short drive from Puerto Princesa International Airport, this upscale venue offers breathtaking vistas of the Sulu Sea, making it an ideal spot for both locals and travelers alike.
Phenomenal food, by far the best Japanese food I have ever had. The fish was so fresh and melted in your mouth, the atmosphere is beautiful, and the service was great. All staff were so kind and had such great attention to detail. I highly recommend dining at this restaurant if you are ever in Puerto Princesa.

Absolutely loved visiting this restaurant! The architecture was gorgeous and the atmosphere overall was very relaxing & comforting. The food was delicious (we had gyozas, tori teriyaki don, and the spicy salmon roll). Good pricing for the overall vibe of the place – and the staff were super friendly!

Cutting Board is a must-try for those looking for delicious and hearty bar chow. Favorites include the Wagyu Steak and Pepper Steak, both of which are artery-clogging yet taste amazing. The ambiance is homey and inviting, perfect for catching up with friends.
This took the first place in my list of restaurants to eat in my hometown. Food was great and reasonably priced - but what could've been a nice dinner ambiance was ruined by an obnoxious guest loudly cussing and bragging about his escapades to his friends. We went outside after eating and his voice can be heard on the other side of a 4-lane street (it's that loud).

Caesar salad, gambas, & tofu sisig were fine, but the US ribeye was terrible. Doneness was medium, but it was really tough. It was like slicing rubber. We only ate 1/3 of it & returned the remaining portion of the steak coz we called the attention of the server with regards to the quality of the steak, but management never responded to our concerns. We ended up paying 50% of the steak’s price, but honestly, we expected them to know better & not charge us for the steak at all. Not going back to this restaurant ever again.

The Gypsy's Lair Art Cafe is a uniquely designed cafe-restaurant that immerses visitors in the ambiance of a gypsy caravan. The cozy interiors and quirky art create an inviting atmosphere for enjoying delicious brunch or evening cocktails with live music. As an advocate for the Palawan art community, owner Dinggot Conde-Prieto has helped shine a spotlight on local artists.
The ambience of these weird, dark and mysterious artsy cafe / restaurant has its own beauty which is rare to find. It can be found in Mercado (souvenier center) which is in front of the gate of Puerto Princesa Airport. Not only it caters coffee, it also serves fusion of different cuisine from Mexican, Italian, Filipino and so on. Plus, alcoholic beverages and shishas for rent. Its price is affordable that match its servings. The taste is good and plated nicely. The service crew are accomodating. Recommended.

Nothing special in this hippie restaurant except the max on christmas kitch allover the place with annoying cristmas music bells music as extra. But if you like this. The people where polite but had a really unhappy day i think. Could be a cozy place in the 60s,70s but it is 2019. The food,small portions,was tasty but cold wet sticky rice is not my favorite. No,not my idea from restaurant.

We ordered 2 tomato grilled cheese sandwiches, waited more than 30 minutes and then got our sandwiches without cheese. We sent them back and received new ones with cheese this time, but with cold fries on the side. We had also ordered a burrito which we waited even longer for. The burrito was cold and wrapped in plastic. Overall the food tasted ok and the prices were reasonable, but I wouldn’t recommend this place due to our experience.

Dropped in here after recommendation. Service was fairly slow considering it was quiet. Out of stock on quite a few meals limiting options. Small portions and in my opinion overpriced. Enjoyed local beer (but again out of stock of the one I wanted to try). Had a few good songs on a playlist and the chips we're good (although only a few on the plate). Personally would not return. Tito Ernie's was much better quality and value, best meal we had in PP.

A pleasant garden type with tables for small groups, pretty and refreshing to look at. The food is local and will satisfy those looking for more than just a pleasant environment.

The food was simply tasty and more than enough for our group. Worth it.

The restaurant is highly recommended for big group or family because of the following: 1. The taste is quite decent considering the serving portion is generous. 2. Value for money. It’s affordable and the price is ranging from 175 PHP to 495 PHP. 3. Customer Service: 5/5 - Kuya was very accommodating, friendly and he smiles a lot. 4. Atmosphere - nature vibe and it resembles Bali Theme I ordered Tuna Laing, ( with my rating of 5/5) and enjoyed it mainly aside from Beef Kare-Kare, but came in 3.5 out of 5 while Crispy Pata closed at 4/5 due to long wait time before serving. The wait time though was reasonable considering they freshly cooked the food.

Itoys Coffee Haus is a popular vintage-themed coffee shop located in downtown Puerto Princesa, known for its cozy ambiance and good coffee. It offers a pleasant neighborhood environment where visitors can enjoy conversations with friends and family while savoring their favorite blends. The menu features unique coffee options like Kapeng Halo ni Eving, Butchies Special kahlua frappe, and Charlie Brown white frappucino.
One of the first coffee shops in Puerto, you’d never go wrong with their food. It isn’t a food that will make you speechless due to how delicious it is, but it will at the very least satisfy your hunger while enjoying the relaxing atmosphere it offers. The food was good for the price and the coffee is something that wouldn’t disappoint your taste. It’s a nice place to go just to chill or hangout with friends to have a nice conversation.

The brewery offers a range of signature year-round craft beers like Ambog Ale, Palawan Wit, PalawAn, Ayahay IPA, and Hunter.
If you enjoy a beer / real ale or two. This is definitely worth a visit. The staff are amazing and very knowledgeable of their products and we were given a brewery tour to boot. I am very happy to recommend them.

The beer itself isnt perfect (I am from Czechia), but the fact that there is a local brewery in Palawan and the athmosphere of the place itself make it a 5 star experience.

The Painted Table is an exceptional establishment with excellent customer service. The cuisine is delectable, prepared using top-notch ingredients. I plan to return multiple times in the future. It's unfortunate that they do not offer non-dairy milk options like almond milk, and the internet connection is frustratingly sluggish. This restaurant serves the most superb fish tacos outside of Tijuana, and they are visually stunning as well. The ambiance is fantastic, and the staff members are extremely amiable.

While the staff is very kind, the food left alot to be desired. I ordered a fried chicken breast burger, but it was more minced chicken breast with no flavor and cold in the middle. I couldn't eat it. So I ordered a chicken quesadilla which had more onions in it than chicken. For dessert I ordered mango sticky rice but the mango didn't taste ripe...quite sour.

Pizzas are far from Neapolitan style. Dough is half cooked and makunat and heating it up won’t improve the taste. Dough is made from cheap flour and you can definitely taste it. Margherita has too much cheese and too little tomato sauce. Mushroom soup is lumpy and tastes like straight from a Campbell soup can. Spaghetti bolognese was the most edible but too sweet and tastes like Jollibee spaghetti. Crepes were hard and dry and my sister makes better crepes at home. Leche flan was ok. Burger was ok as well and the fries were good altho too seasoned. Service staff were friendly and always smiling. Please improve your pizzas.

The place looks like an expensive restaurant, clashes with where it is located but prices are still reasonable. The restaurant was almost empty when we were there.

Came here for our last night in PP. We heard about it via local artist Mark Garcia and had passed by the hotel a few times which looked attractive. The waiting staff were extremely attentive (personally too much for me at one point as I like to read the menu without being stood over). However they were so kind, knowledge about the menu and allergies and we overheard them being familiar with cultural differiences ie. No certain types of meat. Jerick tried to teach us some Tagalog and we had a laugh singing Sibbiana/Baby co. The venue was clean, querky and beautiful. We would have liked to see a drinks menu but remembered a cucumber lemonade from the reviews , perhaps we should have stuck to calamansi - it was nice but more like a green ice smoothie than traditional cucumber lemonade! I ordered pork ribs which came with corn and onion rings, my other half ordered chicken which came with mash and vegetables. Both thought food was exceptional quality for value and considering location. We bought a mango qusidia for desert (this did not look so appetising - see image- like green mould! But was tasty, similar to a thick crep) as well as spicy chocolate moose with merange which was delicious ( I had food envy)!!! No toilet roll in toilet but otherwise a great experience. Highly recommend.

TL:DR - Ice-cold beer, good food, easy vibe. I’m a foreigner that lived in the Philippines for years, and came back for a visit- and Guni Guni Bistro hit the spot. The chicken with gravy was cooked well and tasted great. Music’s on point, the room is well lit, and there are fans everywhere so you’re comfortable even on a warm night. The menu is broad enough that locals and visitors can both find something they actually want, prices are reasonable, and they take cards as well as cash. The headline here is the beer: genuinely ice cold, which is surprisingly hard to find in Puerto Princesa. Staff were friendly and efficient, and they even charged my phone for me. If you’re travelling, put this on your list; if you’re local, it’s an easy go-to for a relaxed meal with properly cold drinks.

This charming garden restaurant, set within a native house, boasts an array of delightful offerings including their famous brick-oven pizzas and unique pasta dishes.

Anyone familiar with Neva's in Dumaguete will recognize the concept of this place. I’m not sure if they’re affiliated or if they just borrowed the idea, but it’s a great concept either way. The pizza here is really good and very competitively priced. One of the reasons for this is their "Kuripot" pizza, which uses synthetic Filipino cheese instead of real mozzarella. While this might sound strange or off-putting, it’s actually very tasty. Neva's in Puerto Princesa is even nicer than the one in Dumaguete, with a beautiful and peaceful garden setting. Definitely worth checking out!

My all-time favorite local cuisine in Puerto Princesa since I moved here nearly two decades ago.

We visited Neva’s place a couple days ago. Delicious food and the layout of the restaurant is beautiful. Tables all around a nice garden. The prices have increased since the last google photo on here (which is understandable since the photos are a few years old now) but the portions are a good size. I got the regular size pizza and it was like a large size. My boyfriend got the pork Milanese and he thoroughly enjoyed it and recommends it. The pizzas are stone oven baked and you can watch them make them from the seating area. I took photos of the updated menu for you all :)

Vegetarian restaurant
Namaskar Vegetarian House in Puerto Princesa is a haven for vegetarians and food enthusiasts. The restaurant offers a wide range of delicious vegetarian dishes, including fruit shakes, vegetarian chao long, salads, and even a vegetarian version of salmon. Most of their offerings are vegan and come at very reasonable prices. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is typical Filipino, and the portions are substantial.
Awesome food, to an amazing price. Certainly top of my list of vegan places in the Philippines. Visited by locals and tourists alike 🙌 honestly, could not decide for all the diverse choices!

Had an amazing experience at Namaskar Vegan Restaurant! 🌿 The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the peaceful ambience made the dining experience even better. It’s a perfect spot for anyone who loves healthy, plant-based meals. Highly recommended for both vegans and non-vegans alike! 💚

Namaskar Vegetarian House is a true gem for vegetarians and food lovers alike, offering an impressive array of dishes that showcase the diversity and deliciousness of vegetarian cuisine. Each plate is crafted with care, and the quality is evident in every bite. The variety of options ensures that there’s something for every palate, from hearty entrees to light and fresh salads, all at very reasonable prices. The service at Namaskar adds to the delightful dining experience. Staff are attentive and friendly, readily providing recommendations and ensuring that each guest feels welcome and satisfied. A standout feature of Namaskar is their selection of shakes, which are both inventive and refreshingly delicious. The coconut with peanut shake, in particular, is a must-try. It’s a unique blend of flavors that perfectly balances the richness of peanut with the tropical freshness of coconut, creating a drink that’s both indulgent and refreshing.

This has to get a top rating because vegetarian eateries are about as rare as hens teeth in the Philippines. Ambient atmosphere with courteous staff. The only negative was the tea ordered was sweetened. The food was fine and reasonably priced...

A lovely local and humble restaurant that’s a great value. The chao long was a religious experience (and I only got the regular). The coconut peanut shake was also great. This was probably filling enough, but I also got the spring rolls and another shake because I was extra hungry.

Would easily recommend this restaurant to vegans, vegetarians or anyone who likes food. We're not vegan or vegetarian but we do like to try everything. Saw this on Google maps and popped in to check it out. Prices are extremely reasonable (30-50pso per appetizer, 40-60pso per main course). We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 main dishes and left feeling decently satisfied. Total bill was 280pso. Portions were pretty substantial & the flavors were great! (Loved the spring rolls). We tried the veggie cholong (8 out of 10) but looked like they have a great variety of other soups on the menu! Other dishes we got were 9 out of 10's. Food is prepared and served by owner so you must be patient when dining. Not terrible waiting time but you will have to wait a little. Only thing to note: we did try to go the night before. Google hours said they were open but when we arrived they were closed. May need to call/check in advance before you go. Worth a visit!

Japanese restaurant
Fujisan Japanese Restaurant is a delightful gem nestled in Palawan, offering an authentic taste of Japan without breaking the bank. This family-owned establishment prides itself on serving fresh seafood and sushi dishes that transport your palate straight to Japan. The unique dining experience allows guests to order as much as they desire while cooking their own meat selections, promoting a no-waste philosophy that’s both innovative and responsible.
This place is awesome. It's a buffet not like in the states but you order as many as you want to eat you get to cook your own meat choices but make sure you finish what you order or they will charge you double for it, which I think it's a great idea that way food is not wasted. We came here for my despedida my return flight was the following day so I didn't get to eat much for myself since i was going to travel, you get the idea. But for sure, next time I'm back in the Philippines, this will be my first spot to stop by. Also, the service is great, very friendly atmosphere. I definitely recommend this place plus what you spend is very worth it 👌

The servings were generous, the flavors felt genuinely Japanese, and the price was just right for what we got. We ordered tonkatsu, miso soup, tempura, and their soba full moon—everything tasted great and hit the spot. If you’re looking for a no-fuss Japanese meal that delivers on taste and value.

Was very excited to eat here due to the variety of food but EVERYTHING about our dining experience was HORRENDOUS. From the menu, attentiveness of staff and the place, the reviews of this place months ago did not reflect to the service we received today. The tables were very greasy. There were a lot of waiters but they were not alert and disorganized. Food Flavor was fine BUT my mother received a stomachache and possibly FOOD POISONING in just few minutes. The restroom was DIRTY and the state is vomit inducing that we just left after as it was really that bad. Overall, the eating experience was no-no and I do not recommend this place whether your a local or a tourist.

Lovely small place, a real gem in Puerto Princesa with great service. Delicious european and international food from schnitzel with creamy mushroom sauce and "spätzli" (loved it) to thai red curry and steak you are likely to find one of your favourites here.

This restaurant is just beside Lola Itang's hostel. Since it's very hot and it's past noon, we decided to eat here. We ordered a main dish for two but were quite surprised by the small serving. We did ask before ordering the serving size, and we were advised that it was, but maybe we had a different idea of what is good for two. Still, the chicken adobo was tender and well seasoned. They accept cash as payment. The restaurant closes at 2pm and opens again for its evening service. There's limited parking in front of the restaurant. Inside the restaurant, it is designed to give some trivia about Puerto Princessa, which was helpful and informative. Besides us, there was only one customer inside the restaurant while wr wrre dining.

Delicious authentic home cooked Pinoy food. We enjoyed this place so much we ate 4 of our meals here during a 2 day stay! I highly recommend the kini kau, the baby pork ribs, the bicol express and banana flower salad. And of course the fresh kalimansi juice. On the menu only hot calamansi juice is available, but you can ask to have it iced. There are no truly vegetarian meals on the menu, as all vegetable dishes come with pieces of meat, so be aware of that.

Nestled in the scenic hills of Puerto Princesa, Puerto Vista Resto Inc is a culinary gem that stands out for its unique offerings. As the only restaurant in the area serving exquisite Wagyu beef, it promises an unforgettable dining experience with its rich flavor and tenderness. But that's not all; guests can also indulge in a delightful fusion of Moroccan and French-Spanish cuisines. The ambiance at Puerto Vista is simply enchanting, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains that make every meal feel special.
The place is super amazing, the staff are so nice, the food was affordable and cheap. The best part is about the breathtaking landscape for the restaurant is at a hill. We ate fried chicken and pizza during a sunset and was beautiful. I recommend trying their carrot and mango milkshake. You need to visit this place.

View was great, the food NOT so much. Wife ordered the ceviche, not available, so she ordered Caesar salad,. Well it’s the first time I’ve seen caesar salad with cabbage, pineapple, carrots, cucumbers, & some kind of grated processed cheese & bacon too!! I ordered the wagyu burger, beef was ok but it was sauced up with some kind of sciracha mayo that was too sweet for my liking. Our other friend ordered the pork sisig and he didn’t finish it. I tasted it and it was chewy and probably leftovers from days before. His comments were, I make better sisig. I don’t usually do restaurant reviews but this was a huge disappointment for us given that this restaurant has so many beautiful decorations and the view was gorgeous. Only if the food matched the lovely decors. There was maybe 2030 people there and 2 waitresses so I think they were overwhelmed coz we didn’t get our drinks for 20 minutes while we sat there staring at one another. Anyhow, gonna stop this rant but if y’al had a different experience than us then good for you. It was just something I didn’t expect from a good looking restaurant that I’m sure caters to many many tourists all year long. Perhaps have extra help on weekends when tourists are plentiful and make sure that when you put Caesar salad on the menu that you don’t serve Cole slaw. That’s all! That’s it ! That’s the rant! Have a great meal every one .. EXCEPT US! 😝

Max and Bunny in Palawan has a really nice, chill ambiance. It's the kind of place you’d want to hang out in for a while. But honestly, the food and service didn’t live up to the vibe. The mozzarella sticks still had frozen cheese inside, which was just off-putting, and the service took way too long. They did give complimentary bread while I waited, but it didn’t really make up for the delay. I was expecting more, especially after seeing all the good reviews, so it was a bit of a letdown. This could have been prevented if the staff told me upfront about the long waiting time for my order so I could have ordered another meal, it would be better not to rush the cooking to make up for the service time and just recommend a better meal. I hope they use this to improve the overall experience at their restaurant.

I arrived in Puerto Princesa and stayed for a night in Bambu Suites hotel. Since I will be staying longer in PPS, I was looking for a good bread for my daily breakfast specifically a good quality for my toast. Then I found the Max and Bunny, I waited until 10 am to visit their area. Upon arriving I greeted with a warm smile of their staff in the counter and saw their freshly baked goods (heaven!) Ordered their sourdough, baguette and Fetucine Pasta (another heaven/deliciouso!) Had a great talk also with the owners. They are very welcoming. Can't wait for visit their mobile bakery and have their cheese tray/fromage table- I dunno if I said it right, w/c is not yet on their menu. The area is a lit! Can't wait to chill more there. They have a lot of things to offer. 😍 If anyone is into pastry, you may visit thier area or their sm city mall area. Either way I love already this area and their food.

Food 4/5 I would recommend this place to people who prefers light tasting food. The food was somewhat bland that it requires you to use the provided condiments to spice it up to your preferred taste. I would rate it 5/5 if only the matcha was good. They kinda messed up the taste of the Matcha. Service & Atmosphere 5/5 This is a 5 as they’re very accommodating, both in their service and ambiance.

We went here yesterday to have our dinner. 450php per head and you will enjoy their delicious foods. Every dishes are labeled. They have seafood, chicken, pork, vegetables and soup. Sadly, the chao fan rice yesterday was hard. They also have desserts. I love their sweet buchi and palitaw!! My only suggestion is if you can include ice tea/cucumber juice as your drinks instead of serving only water. Staffs are also nice. The place is spacious and clean.

We went here because price is reasonable, the restaurant looks clean and had an islander design. We went here on a weekend late afternoon and our rate was P450 each, we paid via GCash. The food looked presentable and very Filipino-styled. Service was excellent. Water is part of the price but not other basic beverages which is okay. The only problem was the dishes were too salty.

No Fruits and No Salads... Drinks Not Included. Coke 1.5 liter is 160.00 pesos. Ambiance &Place- very nice and spacious. Staff- Kind, Approachable and nice to Customer. Is it Worth your P400.00? No!

Tried Isla Fiesta Buffet hoping for a good local food experience, but it was honestly a letdown. Most of the dishes were either cold, salty, and some trays were almost empty. The taste was very bland, and a few items tasted like they had been sitting out for too long. The place looked nice from the outside, but the inside felt cramped. For the price, I expected better quality and variety. Won’t be coming back. Plenty of better options in Puerto Princesa.

The food looks better than it tastes. The things that look like they might have curry or flavourful, tasted like gravy. The chicken skewer were left out at room temperature and were actually cold. The food that is kept in the heating trays is warm, not hot. There is quite a selection. The staff are friendly but not the most diligent. The bathrooms are good for the local standard. The water tasted like well water or dirty pipes. The orange juice was made with juice crystal similar to kool-aid. The atmosphere was actually nice. Decent lighting and live music may have actually been the best part

DON’T EAT HERE. The price per person is P450. 8pm i went to dine in knowing they close at 10pm. There were no desserts and appetizers left. I asked a staff whether they will refill it but i got a response of “Ubos na sir eh” in my mind if they call their restaurant a buffet but wont refill even just one dessert then i dont know what to call them. Their food is greasy and not close to being ok. Waste of money.
LEMONMADE P — Google review
The staff only refilled the dishes after everyone had finished lining up, which led to long waits and empty serving trays. Furthermore, the food quality was consistently POOR across multiple dishes, significantly diminishing the dining experience. The lack of variety and the UNAPPETIZING nature of the offerings meant that we could barely eat anything substantial, making the buffet feel like a WASTED opportunity. If you prioritize QUALITY over quantity, I strongly advise AGAINST dining here. In comparison to a previous visit, where food was elegantly served around the table, the current setup LACKS the same attention to detail, with items no longer being replenished in the back area. This significant change in service quality detracts from the overall dining experience, leaving much to be desired. Choose any other restaurant that will offer better value for your 500 pesos, as this establishment unfortunately does not meet expectations.

I highly recommend this top Puerto Princesa restaurant. Big thanks to the team, and to the one who teaches and ensures consistent quality—great work! As someone also working in the F&B industry, I understand the challenges in this part of the Philippines. However, it's now easier to find alternative solutions—such as for wood cutlery. Even if it’s not yet possible for everything, making small efforts still helps their challenge on the recycling.

Stayed for longer than planned due to typhoon and enjoyed my stay a lot. Very friendly staff and great food, the room was big enough and the bed comfy, the negative note is that the showers of my room wouldn’t drain the water at all so it got nasty, but ended up taking showers on the common bathroom and it was even better that the room ones. Met a host who ended up being my good friend till this day, Ana. Love her and the hostel haha 🫶🏽

We had a great stay at Guni Guni. The rooms were well equipped, with lockers and pod-style beds that had curtains, chargers and individual lights. The room was ensuite, but the shower was cold and very small, but there was a larger shower available in the common area. The rooms were spotless, as they were cleaned daily. We loved the restaurant, as they had a great variety of food and drink for a very reasonable price. The staff were friendly and helpful for the most part, however the tours run by the hostel were cancelled due to the weather, and the we got mixed messages from staff, which was confusing. Overall, I would recommend Guni Guni and we had a great stay.

The room is amazing and very clean - the pod style beds in the dorms feel really private and the lockers are nice and big. The attached hotel also has loads of nice food options, including breakfast starting at 6 so in good time for any expeditions. The staff are very friendly and make you feel right at home. Good for solo female travellers as they have female only dorms, and it's quite full which makes it feel safe. My only drawback is that the shower was not good pressure and cold, but it might have been that I showered too late.

Loved this hostel! There’s a laundry shop right across, a café next door, and a cozy living area where you can watch movies, play board games, or just relax. Across the street, there’s also a bakery that sells really delicious donuts. Rooms were clean, had the usual amenities, and even came with a private shower and toilet. They don't provide a hair dryer. They also provide usual tours like The Underground River and provide van service to El Nido and Port Barton. The Wi-Fi was great, the place was quiet, and it’s super close to food spots and stores, so I just walked everywhere. Definitely coming back!

Nokinocs San Manuel is a popular spot for delicious and healthy Filipino dishes. They offer a variety of options including meat, veggies, and international desserts at affordable prices. Their bestselling halo-halo is a must-try, known for its creamy flavor and soft texture that will leave you craving more. The unique take on halo-halo with flavored and soft ice sets it apart from the rest, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
They have good deals for their food: Combos: Php 145 - unlinrice, 1 ulam + 1 side dish Php 150 - unlinrice, 2 ulam Php 175 - unlinrice, 1 ulam + 2 side dish I personally got the 175 then binagoongan pork for the ulam and sisig + kilawin for the side dishes. They have very big servings and I would say very sulit yung 175 (tbh I couldn’t even finish my meal sa sobrang laki) The sisig’s pork was too hard for my liking and the dinakdakan was overcooked already. I enjoyed the binagoongan the best. Then our group ordered halo halo & mais con yelo for dessert - AMAZING 100/100 it’s very creamy The placed was jam packed when we went in for lunch. The line was long but the serving time was fast since the food is readily already. Our local tour guide recommended this for our lunch and I would rate this place a 9/10

At first, I was skeptical about how good the Halo-Halo was in here. But now that I’ve tried it, I must say that I like it very much! There was no purple yam / ube in my halo-halo but I liked it just the way it was. (I was told by our local guides that sometimes, the halo-halo had ube though.)

A really nice "pinoy traditional" restaurant. The food is very savory, sweet, nice spice, and relatively cheap costing around 100 - 400 Pesos, I recommend trying their: Palabok (type of pasta, with various toppings such as shrimp) Halo-Halo (Type of ice-cream shake and it means "mix-mix") Ice con Yelo (Type of Halo-halo but with different toppings) Their Parking is quite small and difficult to find which is fair because it's next to the main highway. The restaurant inside has built-in aircons and the staff are super friendly and serves fast. Worth visiting, 10/10

I forgot to take pictures on what we ordered here, cause we are really starving during that time.. Anyway, try their blockbuster halo-halo.. it is worth it to wait, it took us 40 minutes for that due to high demands plus the deliver order.. Also their fried chicken is nowhere you can compare..I think it's due to their home made marinade and breading.. The palabok also outstanding, however it will be more savory if there's calamansi in which they don't have stock during that time.

A restaurant that specializes in woodworms, which are harvested from within mangrove roots. Located close to the airport and a short ride from hotels, Haim Chicken is a popular spot for food explorers. Tables are arranged in raised bamboo huts and waitstaff members are happy to inform guests about the dish. Woodworms can be eaten raw or cooked and the restaurant offers options such as Tamilok (a type of mollusk).
Haim Chicken is one of the oldest and most loved local restaurants in Puerto Princesa. It’s true comfort food for Palaweños! The fast food style makes it easy and convenient, but the flavors always hit home. Their chicken is really good! tasty, and cooked just right. And don’t miss the Filipino favorite, Pansit Bam-e, which is always satisfying and perfect for sharing. A classic spot that’s stood the test of time in Palawan!

We were curious to try the food here so we tried their branch located inside Robinson's. Being a fast food chain just like Mang Inasal, their place can get quite cramped so if you have a toddler or a baby, we can suggest to dine in on their tables outside for better ventilation. One thing that you will notice as soon as you come in to this branch is that staffs and crews lacks the welcoming vibe, they don't greet and smile at customers (which is experienced by others as well). Tried to observe it because they might just be overwhelmed by the number of diners they cater but that was not the case. We tried to ask for assistance because the chicken they served to the both of us was still raw and when the staff who attended us confirmed and saw that there is still uncooked blood in the chicken, the first response she gave to us was "Papapalitan nyo po ba?" We just immediately responded yes because we have an 18 month old baby who is also eating with us. Nonetheless, the food served to us taste good but I find it quite on the overpriced side because one order of their Chicken Inato (as seen on the photo) cost Php180 already and the Pancit Canton ranges the same price as well. We loved the food and recommend for others to try them out as well.

The restaurant is all about Filipino-styled food, the atmosphere itself is also all about Filipino culture The food is good, delicious yet affordable, some of the food are pretty dry and feels the same as other grilled chicken restaurants such as Mang Inasal. Mostly the food costs about 100 Pesos or more which is really affordable for it's price. The staff are really nice, quite friendly and they act quick. I have no problems with the staff, they are already great. Overall, The place is good, I recommend trying here.

If it's just the food, I highly recommend it. Their special sauce tastes really good with their chicken and rice. The downside tho is how some service crew members are a bit off in terms of attending to needs, a little smile could make things much better for guests. Also, they've fit too many tables inside the store that it's kinda hard to move around.

Tadzmaki Sushi is a locally owned Japanese restaurant that has expanded from a small location on Wescom Road to a new branch in the city mall. It's known for its wide variety of sushi, offering more options than other restaurants. In addition to sushi, Tadzmaki serves other Asian cuisine and offers eat-and-drink-all-you-can packages. The mid-range prices reflect generous portion sizes, and while some dishes may not be exceptional, the overall dining experience is recommended.

An Asian Restaurant beside Angelic Mansion. It cater Japanese, Korean, Filipino Cuisine and etc. Price is in mid-range which equates the quantity of its serving. The taste is acceptably good but nothing special. My mom ordered ramen and the noodle used was for Mami. I called it Mamen. I am not sure why the AC was not turned on making it hotter because it was enclosed. Nonetheless, still recommended.

During my month-long stay in Palawan, I discovered Savora Food House, a gem for anyone seeking budget-friendly yet satisfying meals. For under 100 pesos, you can indulge in a plate of food that tastes like it was lovingly prepared at home. The generous portions are a delightful surprise and truly set this place apart from other affordable eateries. At Savora Food House, you get exceptional value without compromising on flavor—it's the perfect spot to enjoy comforting dishes that remind you of home!
Budget-Friendly, I stayed in Palawan for a month, and this spot quickly became one of my go-to places for affordable, satisfying meals. For less than ₱100(different price on online) , you can already enjoy a delicious plate that feels like it was made right in someone’s kitchen — because honestly, it tastes just like home. What really stood out., They’re not stingy with the portions, which is rare for budget-friendly places. You get great value for your money, and the flavors are on point. The word “HOME COOKED” printed on their banner isn’t just for show — it truly reflects the quality and warmth of their food. Btw use cash for payment 😅

Very nice and quiet hotel. Rooms are very big and spacious. The lights did a great job at night; everything looked beautiful. We had an issue with our AC (a water leak), so our room was changed immediately, within 10 minutes of reporting the problem. The king room's back garden wall was dirty, so perhaps cleaning it would be worthwhile, as it didn't look very nice. But apart from that, everything was spot on. If I am back one day in PPS, I will choose the same hotel.

If you’re in Puerto Princesa and craving burgers and snacks with a side of humor, NomNom Comfort Food is a must-visit! This local gem doesn’t just serve mouthwatering bites—it also dishes out good vibes. Their walls are decorated with hilarious, witty posters and jokes, many featuring their own employees, which gives the place a unique and friendly charm. It’s the kind of spot that makes you smile even before your food arrives. Speaking of food—the NomNom Juicy Burger lives up to its name and then some. It’s satisfyingly juicy, full of flavor, and cooked just right. It’s clearly the standout and highly recommended if it’s your first time visiting. What really sets NomNom apart, though, is the amazing service. The staff are warm, friendly, and genuinely seem to enjoy what they do.

NomNom was a delightful surprise while I was in PP. I honestly never heard about it, until I learned right there and then that they were actually viral on social media because of their very witty and humorous content. I followed their page and damn it, they cracked me up for real. As someone who has fair experience in Social Media Marketing, I see they leaned hard on "Humor Marketing", and it worked awesomely for them. I think they didn't just go viral by luck - they practically built their brand on it. The masterminds of this business venture are definitely as sharp-witted and clever as their memes and posts. But hey, this is still a good place, right? Their branding might have been built around humor, but their food? I tell you - it ain't a joke. I tried the Melty Way, Hell's Burger and the Monster Fries. The burger buns are made by them and that was already a plus for me. The monster fries are something to remember too if you're a fries lover like me. My verdict on the burgers: This is a bold statement but I will say it's one of the best I've tried in the country. However, It's not cheap folks. I mean, the price is not pang "masa". a single burger can worth almost 500 pesos. For some, of course, it sure is affordable. But with that quality food, it sure is worth the hype and the price! The place is chic, modern, and I love the playful color palette they used on their walls. When I'm back to PP, I sure won't miss the chance to visit NomNom again because, well, I have quite an appetite - both for good food and good vibes.

My husband and I found this place by poor chance and we were thrilled!!! With no doubt, we had the best food we have had in the last two weeks in The Philippines. When people say vegan food is boring os because they have not tried restaurants like Ver De. The ingredients were super fresh, the spices and flavours were balance, unique and tasty; and on top of that great value for what you paid. I had the happy bowl and it was gorgeous. The falafel was beautifully cooked and the mix of fresh vegetables and tahini sauce was amazing! My husband tried the banh mi and he also loved it. It was a big sandwich full of flavours. For dessert we shared the banana crunch pancake and woooooow fluffy pancakes, with crunchy granola, banana and chocolate sauce. It was de-li-cious!!!! Also, we loved coffee, and again it was the best one we have had in Philippines. Hot (like proper hot) and a great one. The golden turmeric coffee with vanilla was super nice and comforting. I would definetely come to this place again and again and again. And the good news, they also have a restaurant in El Nido. Honestly, I must try. Lastly, the team was very friendly, professional and super nice. And the atmosphere was great, a really nice quiet place to enjoy a great meal and chill. Price is higher than other places but totally worthy! Truly healthy food at a great quality without compromising flavours.

Filipino restaurant
Nestled within the serene Daluyon Resort, Pawikan Restaurant is a culinary gem in Sabang Beach that offers an enticing array of Asian fusion cuisine alongside traditional Palawan dishes. While it may not boast direct beach views, diners can enjoy a pleasant outlook over the resort's inviting swimming pool. Guests rave about the delicious locally sourced fare, especially during breakfast where options like fresh fruits, cold cuts, and pastries are served alongside hearty main dishes.
We have been here two nights in a row. They have the best Filipino food we have tried after a month in Philippines. We love the garden atmosphere and live musics. Ralphe, Frezyl and other service people are very delightful and professional. They all remember our names right away. We really enjoy the fine dining experience here.

The service here was exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff who made the dining experience truly enjoyable. The ambiance was delightful, warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed meal. The portions were generous, leaving me completely satisfied, though I was tempted to try the churros, which looked amazing. I’ll definitely be back to sample them next time! I found the prices to be quite reasonable, offering great value for the quality of food and experience provided. Another plus is that they accept Google Pay, making the payment process quick and convenient. Highly recommend!

Really good restaurant. We stayed at the Sheraton but the food options are not so good, we can here and had a lovely meal and the service is exceptional. I like healthy food so they made me a nice green salad and even allowed me to substitute the rice for steamed vegetables. They serve good coffee and dessert too.

Filipino food elevated not just in presentation, but quality, creativity, and taste as well. The crispy adobo rice with egg was super tasty. The daily breakfast was really enjoyable too. The restaurant also has live music in the evenings.

Great restaurant in little village of Sabang. It’s not cheap but the quality of the food is good. Chef is flexible and happy to accommodate to your needs. Surrounded by the plants and animals like squirrel, iguana, egrets, buffalo.

Only tried the breakfast, which was very nice. The had a few options for food which were all nice, including fruits, cold cuts, some pastry, and drinks. The main dishes for breakfast were good. We didn’t get to try the main dishes for lunch or dinner but people at the hotel all told us they are good. We even heard some people were staying in the four points by Sheraton but preferred the food here due to the more traditional dishes. The service was great as well, but prices are a bit higher for what you would expect in the Philippines, still great value for a 4 star hotel.

Shakey's Pizza Parlor is a popular pizza chain that offers a variety of delicious pies, fried chicken, and lunch buffets in a relaxed setting. They have a kids' game area, which adds to the enjoyable ambiance near the town center. The staff is known for their kindness and accommodation, even greeting customers upon arrival and departure. One favorite among customers is their pepperoni pizza, which never disappoints.

Shakey's was pretty average, all things considered. We ate a 9" truffle greens pizza and a tuna caesar salad, both of which we shared. We found there to be a weird flavour to the bread dough of the pizza which we have since discovered must have been the "truffle" in the name. It's not entirely pleasant so I don't recommend trying their truffle items. The pizza itself was their "famous thin" style which they have been making since 1969. Not trying to be clever but the base of the pizza was solid so it was as if it had been made in 1969. It genuinely cracked when you bit it, like a big crisp. So it really felt like no other pizza I have ever eaten. The caesar salad was a bit too sweet so it felt a bit sugary. Nonetheless we finished the food and it was OK. Probably would not rush back.

Not a nice experience when you have 8 members of staff stare and laugh at you while you’re trying to enjoy your meal.. Pizza was nice though. Decent price.

The ambiance is good. The seats are big and comfy but it took less than 30 minutes to get my order. Not a good option if you are in a hurry.

We were very disappointed when we're ordered their famous chicken and mojos. The chicken we received weren't cooked through. The, chicken's blood left a bad taste in our mouths. It's also sad that their chicken doesn't taste like how it was before, tastes like any fried chicken from any restaurant, not worth the price anymore.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Palawan, Chika-an is a delightful dining destination that perfectly blends rustic charm with modern elegance. This inviting restaurant creates a warm atmosphere ideal for intimate dinners or lively gatherings with friends and family. After a long journey, there's nothing quite like indulging in their renowned fried chicken, which has garnered rave reviews from visitors.
This is a hidden gem to me, with live music and great food you could not ask for more. Everything is absolutely delicious! Also, if you are looking for food presentation you will enjoy it too, just watch out for the cats. They tend to jump onto the bench a lot and try to make it onto the tables!

I enjoyed several visits here before Covid shut them down. I loved the Garlic Scallops. The scallops are still on the menu, but sadly they were not available this time. I ordered a couple of other appetizers while I waited for my friend. After the appetizers, we left & ate somewhere else :( Note: They have changed the name to Anaya, but it is the same nice location & menu)

We were one of the first to arrive, at least upstairs. Service was a little slow but not that bad. Good BBQ Chicken. Love that they have Arnold Palmer in a pitcher. Chorizo Cebu was tasty. Krispy Pata was good. Didn't like that they asked me if I had 10 pesos to give me back exact change. Parking was good because we were there early. Most restaurants fail to give space for parking, which is nonsense. Chika-an was smart enough to do their business right. Lighting was great. Music was at an appropriate volume for the background. Staff was courteous. We got everything we ordered, nothing missing or nothing extra. I'll gladly add this as a favorite restaurant.

Atmosphere is great. They had live music at dinner. It took a few minutes for our waitress to come by. She came to us after she greeted a couple who were sat after us. Then she was rude. Our appetizer was warm but our meal was cold. I asked for a refill on my drink and that took a few minutes due to all the waitresses just hanging out laughing for a few then they went back to work.

Chikaan is a cool name! Asked to be seated upstairs because it's more fun 😂 This place is Filo cuisine, so expect BBQ dishes and sizzling plates ... Food here was good, I wish I had ordered their fried chicken but we were so full and my friends didn't feel like fried chicken. However the BBQ dishes were so good, the chicken was so tender as well. #palawan #chikaan #asianfoodninja @asianfoodninja

What is the one thing you need after a 12-hour transfer flight and zero sleep? Fried chicken!!..... after checking in at a nearby inn, we came here on our host’s recommendation. No regerts (no, that’s not a typo) is what we say. We ordered for two but the food that came was probably enough for 3-4 Asians: Soy glazed fried chicken, beef bistek tangalog, ponchello soup (without the meat), lechon and garlic rice. If you had to order just one from the list — it’d be the chicken, hands down. And if you had to give anything a miss — the soup. The thing to remember is that Filipino food flavours are extreme. That is, they’re either extremely sweet, sour or salty. Another thing to keep in mind is they’re relatively generous with their portions. So everything we ordered was a tad on the salty side (and I personally love salty stuff). But salty soup is just a no-go. Anyway, back to the important bit: the chicken. Its batter was fried to a perfect dark golden brown, flavourful (I still can’t figure the ingredients but I’m no food coinosseur), and the meat was moist enough. That’s about 6-7 pieces of heaven. Then the lechon. It’s Philippines and you can’t go wrong with lechon. It was a bit on the dry side but it was crispy where it was meant to be crispy. Just the right amount of salt and fats. You can ask for less fatty parts if you want to cut down on the sin. Garlic rice — GO FOR IT. Beef bistek was a bit tough but the sauce was sweet and savoury and I pretty much drowned my rice in it. Then my lechon. Then my chicken. Then my fingers (ok no, I’m kidding). We passed by it again at night and wished we could be there then instead of during lunch. The atmosphere was even more amazing and they have a pretty good live singer live! P.S. They have about 4 different cats (that we saw, anyway). Cute and will bug you for food.

Great food and huge servings with unlimited rice. The staffs are courteous and attentive to our needs. The cocktail drinks we ordered are not that great though. The highlight however is the soulful singer whose rendition of the soul songs chilled us to the bones. Even the cat seemed to enjoy it. Hats off to you Ate! 😊 If you're looking for a quiet ambiance where you just want to feel the environment and converse with your companion then this is certainly it.

It rained before we went to the place. So there are few guests and it was a right time to take photos because the rain left the area so shiny. 😂 I was not so satisfied with the foods, but the ambiance with acoustic music made my dinner extra special.
