The best restaurants San Juan

If you're looking for an authentic place to eat good Filipino food, then you must stop by Chekesh. This cozy restaurant is run by a lovely family from the island who offers good fresh fish dishes, garden vegetable salads, well grilled meats... The plates are generous and of good quality, for a very low price. The owner, former barman of Coral Cay, can give you good advices to visit Siquijor. A very nice address.

At the same time a vegan café-restaurant and a youth hostel, Wonderland is a real living place where many activities are organized such as yoga classes, campfires or beach cleaning sessions. We like the huge bamboo hut aspect open on the outside. A slight Japanese touch sets the tone, at the entrance you take off your shoes before joining one of the futons and sitting around a table on the ground. The dishes are original, worked and to fall. Paliton Beach and its legendary sunsets are 300 meters away.

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.

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?

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.
