Restaurants cuisine du monde Philippines

Just a stone's throw away from the Tam-Awan Village, the Farmer Daughter is in the same vein as it is housed in a traditional ifugao hut with a thatched roof. Baguio is modernizing and seeing a lot of western cuisine restaurants coming in. Here, the will is to remain anchored in the region and to propose authentic dishes of the Cordillera. A lot of smoked meats (kinuday) but also the pak-pako, a salad made of ferns and vegetables, and the pinikpikan soup. A real culinary experience!

Asiano Gourmet Cuisine is the restaurant that Sabang was missing! Already from the outside, this big hut made of wood and bamboo with its beautiful terrace and its wooden furniture has something very typical and welcoming. And in the plate, it is even better, fresh and quality products like fish, Filipino dishes skilfully made and greedy as desired, vegetarian options galore... All in a friendly atmosphere, this is the place to stop for a meal and a drink in Sabang.

Located in Baclayon along the harbor, Genaro's Grill is a large, floating fish restaurant that resembles a large, airy hall. It offers a superb view of the sea. The concept is very appealing: you choose your fish or meat at the entrance, which is then cooked, grilled and seasoned to your liking, before being brought to the table by a friendly waiter or waitress. Popular with the locals, it's a place with a lively, authentic village atmosphere; at weekends, live bands liven things up.

This is the café-restaurant located right next to Murals Hostel, in a quiet corner of Cebu. From the outside, our eyes are immediately drawn to its leafy façade and contemporary, airy structure. The big advantage is the roof terrace, which is shaded and very pleasant both during the day and in the evening. Western and Filipino cuisine is fairly simple but well executed. Quantities are a little small, however. As for drinks, in addition to the very good cold coffee, there are juices, beers and cocktails.

Located just in the street in front of the tourist office, this restaurant, which certainly does not look like much but is well known by the regulars, offers a wide choice of typical Filipino dishes at very low prices and with copious portions. Many long-stay tourists use it as their lunchtime canteen. It is also a good place to have a Filipino breakfast at a very low price. The kitchen that opens directly onto the dining room brings a little warmth to the very basic but colorful place.

Large selection of dishes for this restaurant which mixes the classics of the Filipino cuisine with American and Mexican influenced dishes (tacos, pizzas...). The rations are generous and the hamburgers are the most ordered. There are also some vegetarian dishes on the menu. Nothing extraordinary as much in the place as in the plate but it is an address which is appreciated by the locals and the visitors for more than ten years.

This restaurant, in the style of a local bistro with a vintage decoration, is strategically located on the Malate traffic circle. On the well-stocked menu, you'll find all the Filipino specialties (Adobo, grilled meats or in sauce, garlic rice, fish specialties, etc.) but also a rather simple Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine and great international classics, steak fries, omelets and salads. It's fast and efficient. Other addresses in the city. A very popular address for Filipinos.

It's a typical local restaurant, so without fuss and with a very family atmosphere. The food is simple but homemade and of high quality. Mainly Filipino dishes, the usual breakfasts based on rice, meat and egg, pancit noodles, meat and fish dishes. Everything is good and the prices are very attractive. Let's mention the terrace with a view on the bay. Rooms are also available.

Ideally located on the pretty beach of Talipanan, this Italian restaurant is a bit of a reference in Puerto Galera when you have a craving for pizza! They prepare very good pizzas cooked on wood fire, the dough is fine and crispy, the size is very generous. Other Italian specialties are offered on the menu such as pasta, sandwiches, cheeses. Also breakfasts and seafood specialties. Nice terrace to wait on, directly overlooking the beach (the wait can be long).

Renowned for its authentic Filipino cuisine, this address offers delicious specialties such as Kagay Anon, a seafood and grilled meat platter. Dishes are beautifully presented in banana leaves, and there are a few options for vegetarians. The service is excellent, and the waiters are smiling and attentive. Don't miss the scallops or the prawns with garlic butter. A very good restaurant, appreciated by locals and visitors alike.

The project was born of a love affair between Tristan and his Canadian wife. The goal: to offer a successful gastro pub experience. The project is a success in every respect, with a predominantly wood-panelled decor offering a very warm feel. You can come and enjoy a well-prepared pub meal, either inside or on the terrace overlooking an alleyway. We can't recommend enough the delicious seafood platter or the sausage & mash...., an address not to be missed! Note: the restaurant also offers a selection of local craft beers.

Like a traditional bamboo house on stilts, Baha Bar is a popular place for locals and tourists alike, where you feel good right away. The decoration, worked, puts on wood and the vegetable with beautiful pieces of craft industry and it is successful! For your taste buds, the choice is large between local and international dishes and the cocktails (among the best of the island) are inspired by local ingredients. On Friday night, a gargantuan Filipino buffet awaits you for 635 PHP. There's a good-natured vibe here. Not to be missed.

The place is like an oasis of calm in the heart of the urban jungle. In the large patio, a bevy of green plants give the place a refreshingly natural feel. This cosy café, with its fun, country-style decor, offers fresh, healthy food with local and Mediterranean influences. The menus change regularly and the plates are as pretty as they are good. Of course, there are plenty of vegetarian options, but that's not all! To start the day with a good dose of energy, we recommend their breakfast.

A restaurant that the locals love and that is very lively in the evening. Large terrace and room on three spaces distributed in stairs. The decoration is modern, the music mixes with the sound of the conversations. Adamo serves meat dishes (smoked pork, ribs, braised beef) in simple or family version for 6 people. The longganisa buns (meat-filled baos) are excellent. They also have some vegetarian options and fresh fish. Everything is good, the service is fast and efficient, in short you are never disappointed!

This beach restaurant is located in front of the sea in San Miguel. Its shaded terrace and the view make it a very pleasant place. The place is famous because the chef prepares very good pizzas: homemade dough and wood-fired cooking! On the rest of the menu, you can find other western dishes such as burgers, pastas and salads but also grilled meat and fish dishes nicely presented and rather refined. Every evening, a special offer (pizzas, wines, etc.). A very nice address on the road between Dumaguete and Dauin.

As well as being an excellent hotel, Friday's is also one of the best restaurants on the island. A different menu is offered every day. We recommend the barbecue buffet (on Fridays), which is excellent value for money. Here, you'll enjoy Western and Asian dishes prepared in a very pleasant seaside setting, on the least crowded part of White Beach. The hotel and its restaurant are currently under renovation, and we can't wait to see their new look.

Every day and at any time of the day and night, this restaurant serves breakfasts mixing Filipino and American cuisine. You can find all the local specialties based on chicken and pork, but also a whole menu of pancakes and waffles that can be topped with different toppings (chocolate, caramel, oreo, fruit sauces, etc.) as well as a wide selection of drinks. It's good, it's not expensive and the setting is nice.

In Lazi, this restaurant with a pretty turquoise blue facade, was opened a few years ago by a Frenchman, and has already become a must for travelers and locals. From breakfast to dinner, you can enjoy Filipino and Western dishes (chicken adobo, ramen, pancakes...) full of flavors and presented with great care (we love the floral touch on the dishes). We recommend the falafels in the homemade pita bread. On the other hand, you should not be in a hurry, the service is very slow, but well it is the vacations, who is in a hurry?

Certainly one of the best places to eat in Coron. The service is fast, the waiters friendly and efficient, the food delicious. There are plenty of vegetarian options (the pad thai with tofu is delicious). We also recommend the chicken with pineapple or cashew nuts. The prices are a bit above the Filipino standard, but the quality is really good. The portions could be a little more generous (it's so good, that we are never full!). In the evening, there are live concerts on the roof terrace.

Azuthai serves family-style Thai cuisine prepared according to the recipes of Chef Watee. The menu is well stocked and the dishes are copious, enough to make the amateurs of the country of the smile happy. We recommend the delicious fish and shrimp cakes, or the crispy duck salad to start. And if you feel like tasting a local fish, the steamed apahap with lime is simply divine. The desserts are also very good, don't leave without trying the mango with sticky rice. Attentive and smiling service.

According to the many foodies who are regulars in the capital, it is the best Filipino specialty restaurant in the city. Who are we to contradict! In a refined 1990s Filipino bistro setting and in the hands of a friendly staff, you'll enjoy traditional dishes that (finally!) showcase the culinary qualities of the Philippines. Soups, Sisig, lechon, Adobo, Pancit... it's the perfect opportunity to try one of the many local specialties. Don't miss the rice cooked with coconut. To be discovered!

The Veranda restaurant is considered the best restaurant in Puerto Galera. Be careful, not to be confused with the Verandah restaurant of the Out of the Blue resort which is also considered as one of the best (definitely!). In a superb setting, directly on the beach, it serves Asian and European fusion cuisine. The selection is large and should delight everyone, pasta, pizzas, risotto, soups, even a fondue, freshly caught fish... We appreciate the refinement of the dishes and their careful presentation. A popular address, with good reason.

The Riverhouse restaurant has a panoramic terrace with an incredible view of the river. No noise or visual pollution, just a light refreshing breeze. In the kitchen, simple dishes are prepared with fresh products. The pumpkin and coconut milk soup is prepared at the last minute, it is a delight. The meat and fish are a delight, as are the pancakes for breakfast. Judith can also organize original activities for you: a tour of deserted islands, of a village and its customs, in a banca to observe the fireflies (magical!).

A very secret address that we are proud to let you discover! Behind a grilled facade that doesn't look like much, in an alley away from the road (as we said, it's hidden!), a pretty patio and a café with a slightly bohemian-chic decoration. It is especially for the cooking of the chef Ian that we come: pasta (the gratinated penne with tomato, cheese and pesto are exquisite) and more local specialties, cooked to perfection by this former chef of a starred hotel restaurant in Manila who left everything during the Covid to come here. We love it!

Located on the main road, this traditional stilt hut offers excellent ramen, among other dishes! In the kitchen, a Japanese chef, of course, makes gourmet ramen to suit all tastes, using pork or fake vegetable meat. The miso broth is rich in flavor, the traditional Ajitama pickled egg makes all the difference, and the chef also makes excellent homemade fried gyozas. A good change from the usual Filipino or European dishes, with fast service and a pleasant atmosphere.

Located next to the Daraga church, Red Labuyo offers internationally inspired food (pasta, fries, salads...), nothing revolutionary on the plate, which can nevertheless be well executed. The staff are welcoming. So, what's the best thing about this restaurant? We recommend this place above all for its unique setting: the rooftop terrace offers one of Legazpi's finest views of the Mayon volcano, and sipping a drink or even enjoying a meal at the end of the day promises to be a very pleasant experience.

Ideally located, just a stone's throw from the beach and the town center, this restaurant offers simple but very well prepared cuisine at very reasonable prices, from breakfast to dinner, even late. It's actually the restaurant of the hostel of the same name, Chief Mau, so it's a lively place where it's easy to meet other backpackers. Rooms, dormitories and sanitary facilities are top-notch. What's more, Chief Mau also organizes renowned canyoning trips to Kawasan Falls. An economical address with good food and a great atmosphere.

Luca's Italian restaurant on the main road, with its charming accent and spontaneity, offers a warm welcome and a smile. The tempting menu invites you to sample a fusion cuisine that revisits Asian dishes, with many vegetarian versions. There's a real effort behind the plates, which are beautifully presented, the portions are copious and, above all, you're in for a treat. We recommend the Vietnamese noodles with peanut sauce and the Buddha bowl.

Choosing to eat in one of the Manila Hotel's restaurants is already an opportunity to immerse yourself in this historic place. Cafe Ilang-Ilang, on the other hand, is sure to please every palate as it offers all-you-can-eat buffets from around the world: Italian-style pizza, freshly made sushi, fresh seafood, Filipino specialties like suckling pig, Korean dishes and a masterful dessert counter, all in a casual atmosphere. It's the perfect combination of the elegance of the iconic Palace and the promise of a great dining experience!

Here, they revisit the classics of Catalan and Spanish cuisine with great talent. No wonder Las Flores has become the talk of the town and attracts the whole of Manila (the concept has grown and Las Flores is now popping up all over the city). The décor, both warm and modern, has been thought out in every detail, while the outdoor terrace is ideal for sipping one of the many perfectly executed signature cocktails. On the plate, we recommend the rather original tapas and the paella with black rice.

Near the main road, towards San Pedro beach, this café-restaurant is brand new in the gastronomic landscape of Romblon and yet, it already promises some nice surprises. Run by an enthusiastic Franco-Filipino couple, the place is quite charming, with a nice elevated terrace and wooden tables. But above all, one comes and comes back here for the food since everything is delicious, from the chicken burger with its melting bun to the profiteroles for dessert and the grilled tuna filet. To be tried.

Nestled in a discreet street just off the beach at Station 3, this is an address full of charm and authenticity. Built in a traditional Filipino style, this pretty wooden house is elegant with its stained glass windows, handcrafted objects, high ceiling and dark parquet flooring, not to mention the pleasantly planted outdoor courtyard. On the plate, you'll be treated to a revisitation of Philippine cuisine, served with great care and refinement. Don't miss the kare kare or the ginataang isda, a local yellow curry.

This Chinese-inspired restaurant focuses on seafood. Here, everything is fresh, from curacha (a type of crab endemic to the region, in a delicious garlic sauce) to latu salad (a type of seaweed), lapu-lapu (grouper) and lobster. There's no set menu here: waiters present the day's fish according to the catch and arrivals. You choose your fish and it's prepared directly for you in the kitchen. All fresh and tasty, this is a good address.

A restaurant with a long history in Baguio, renowned for its quality Chinese, Filipino and American fusion cuisine, using fresh ingredients. A wide selection of soups, meats, noodles, rice... and in addition, a wide selection of vegetarian dishes. The chopsuey is said to be one of the best in the Philippines! Just a stone's throw from Burnham Park, it enjoys a central location in the city. It is suitable for big appetites... or for those who like to share. The service is fast, efficient and friendly. A recommended address.

At MuShu, the gustatory possibilities are vast, with Asian flavors blending with each other and with Western cuisines to produce a highly original and, above all, delicious result. Try the Hong Kong noodle soup, or MuShu ramen, a ramen specially revisited by the chef, pritong lechon (a roasted and fried pig wrapped in a brick leaf) or Thai specialties. There are also a few vegetarian options. It's a pleasant and very good restaurant, with efficient service.

A fairly recent address that is already a must. It's true that Besaga has everything to please: pretty wooden picnic tables placed on the beach, between the palm trees, the light garlands in the evening: everything is gathered to spend an excellent moment. From breakfast to dinner, Filipino dishes made with finesse and delicacy such as grilled fish or vegetarian curry with coconut milk ... A cozy and good restaurant that also serves as a guest house.

On the beach, a little away from the hustle and bustle, this tiny restaurant with its original setting (the cream-colored walls are filled with family photos) offers authentic, family-style Philippine cuisine. Building on her success, the owner, who also owns four other restaurants in the country, has created an extensive menu featuring her grandmothers' recipes. It's the perfect place to try a variety of typical dishes. We particularly recommend adobo and Tinuktok served in a taro leaf. Nice address.

Here's a well-kept secret in town. In a slightly rustic-looking house, you'll discover a warm, arty restaurant-café with an adjoining patio. The walls are covered with paintings by local artists, the shelves are filled with books and little designer touches are strewn here and there. You can enjoy traditional Filipino dishes of excellent quality at low prices, as well as the gourmet pastries and excellent coffees that are the pride of the owners. An address worth visiting.

An airy wood and bamboo terrace, a relaxed, no-fuss atmosphere and a menu that combines Asian and Western dishes that are good, inexpensive and, above all, hearty. Try the baked scallops! In the evenings, especially at weekends, there are regular live bands to liven up the place. You can also play billiards. The staff are friendly and the hosts know how to make you feel at ease. A friendly and convivial address.

A little piece of Spain in Camiguin? That's what Peninsulare Kape Art has been offering its customers for some years now. The menu features cuisine from the Iberian Peninsula, with classics such as succulent tapas and tasty paellas to share. And it's a success. Set in a large garden by the sea, the place, run by a team of women, exudes a kind of positive energy that is reinforced by the friendly music playing. You leave with a full belly and a gentle joie de vivre.

One of our favorites! In the heart of a rice paddy with a view of the sea, we arrive at this restaurant with its carefully crafted aesthetic and eclectic decor blending colonial influences, Spanish tiles, Vietnamese lanterns and a vast open kitchen where you can admire the chefs in action. On the slate, an ultra-fresh menu that adapts to the day's catch and produce grown on the farm next door. The chef, Carmel, trained at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in Bangkok, and brilliantly reinvents Southeast Asian gastronomy.

Inspired by the world of flamenco and the tapas bars of the 1980s, the decor is lively, in red tones, warm, festive and Latin. On the taste buds side, you can enjoy a multitude of tapas to share, as pretty as appetizing, or classic but always creative Iberian specialties. A long list of cocktails, Gin Tonic and wines. A lively atmosphere for a colorful evening! Tomatito has proven itself to be one of the best "modern Spanish" restaurants in Manila.

This is the Harana Resort restaurant. In a large, airy nippa hut, you dine on low tables to the sound of the waves. This is the place to go to discover Philippine gastronomy, and more specifically that of Mindanao. The menu is extensive, so you can try a variety of dishes all concocted with precision and beautifully presented on banana leaves. The colorful plates are as pretty as they are tasty. The waiters are extremely hospitable and there are many vegetarian and even vegan options available. Cosy, relaxing atmosphere.

Decorated in Hawaiian style, this large, airy restaurant is run by a couple of friendly French-speaking Belgians. The specialties are burgers, but there are also other options, including vegetarian, Filipino and international (pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, omelettes). The bread, pastries and jam are all homemade, as is the French-style pâté de campagne - amazing! Enjoy a hearty breakfast in the morning, or sip cocktails to lounge music in the evening.

With an imposing view over Panglao and the mangroves, New Zealand owner Emily (also behind the superb La Casita de Baclayon bed & breakfast) has drawn on her culinary inspirations to create an interesting menu combining Mexican, Caribbean and Asian specialties. Everything is absolutely fresh, local, tasty and original. All served in a tasteful Mediterranean-Filipino decor, as colorful as the dishes themselves. A charming address for brunch, lunch or afternoon tea!

A cosy, unpretentious restaurant with a friendly, family atmosphere. The main attraction is the succulent Filipino cuisine, prepared with passion. Many vegetarian and vegan variants of traditional dishes are offered, which is much appreciated. For fish lovers, orders must be placed a few hours in advance, or even the day before. The mango float dessert is deliciously refreshing! Come early, as there are often long queues in the evening. Excellent value for money.

On the main road, 15 minutes from the center of El Nido, Kusina Ni Maya is a very good address, well known by the locals, much less by tourists. Traditional wooden hut, with an open restaurant room, the setting is calm and pleasant. On the menu, a whole range of Filipino specialties, we recommend Dynamite as a starter, these long green peppers coated with cheese and fried, as a main course the sizzling tofu, the sisig pork or the sweet and sour lapu-lapu. The portions are very generous. The staff is very attentive. A good local restaurant.

Perched at the top of a hill, the High Ridge is renowned above all for its large panoramic terrace offering spectacular views over the whole of Cagayan de Oro. In the evening, the atmosphere is very charming, with garlands of lights responding to the lights of the town. And the good news is that the food at High Ridge is excellent too! International dishes (burgers, pizzas, pastas) as well as all the classics of Filipino cuisine, with a Mexican twist. A shuttle service is available to reach the venue.

In a romantic white-fronted colonial house, you're served in a cozy Spanish-influenced interior decorated with old antiques reminiscent of grandparents' homes. On the palate, it's traditional regional cuisine reinterpreted with a modern twist. Don't miss Cagayan's specialty, Sinuglaw (a dish combining beef and fish ceviche) or Surol de Caminguin (chicken soup with coconut milk). A fine sample of Northern Mindanao gastronomy.

A good address, with a nice terrace, in blue and white tones, located on the pleasant Lio beach, 15 minutes from El Nido. The Punta Playa restaurant is run by a Spaniard. It offers Mediterranean and Asian fusion cuisine of excellent quality. We recommend the paellas, speciality of the house. Also several vegetarian options and many tapas, everything is prepared with fresh and good quality products. The service, if not fast, is friendly. The wine is good. The setting is idyllic.
