The best restaurants Camiguin Island

Located on a hill, Paradiso Restaurant offers a superb 180-degree view of White Island's famous sandbar. It's awe-inspiring! The spot is already an excellent place to watch the sunset, and with a mango milkshake in hand or a cocktail, it's even better. As for the food, the Italian owner offers the great transalpine classics: wood-fired pizzas and pasta. The pizzas are really excellent!

Marlyn, the owner, brings the coffee beans from Bukidnon. The restaurant is well decorated and there is a small collection of books (gifts are welcome) that can be consulted while enjoying a cereals or a calamansi juice. The owner has long worked as a guide in caves. She is very kind and a source of endless information about Camiguin. She climbed the seven volcanoes of the island and can help you find a guide.

Here, you can eat indoors or on wooden pontoons directly on the lagoon (you'll have to pay an extra 150 PHP), local style! As a seafood restaurant, fish is king here. You'll find almost anything depending on the catch of the day (squid, crabs, prawns, various grilled fish), and the freshness of the produce is undeniable! The more adventurous can take a zip-line ride while waiting for their meal, while others can admire the view and sip an excellent buko, the national coconut drink.

Housed in a large, high-rise house featuring natural materials, Casa Roca offers, in addition to three inexpensive, comfortable guest rooms, a restaurant with an extensive menu combining Asian dishes and Western classics. The menu changes regularly according to the catch and the seasons. During the day, the view is splendid, and in the evening, the atmosphere becomes warm with candles and red tablecloths. In this establishment run by a Canadian couple, the wine selection is quite extensive and the mango margaritas are top-notch!

This is one of Camiguin's healthy addresses! In this cosy little café with a relaxed atmosphere, the emphasis is on healthy, vegetarian and even vegan cuisine, with a few fish dishes as well. Alongside the must-try smoothies, homemade granola, matcha tea and the use of superfoods (oats, chia seeds...), there are Israeli and Mediterranean options full of flavor and indulgence. Everything is good, beautifully presented and hearty. To start or continue your day with plenty of energy!

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.
