Where to Eat in Siargao?

Two weeks ago I went to Siargao…again.

I’ve created a list of places where you can eat when you’re on the island. Ang dami na kasing nagtatanong.

These are my current favourites.

Disclaimer: This list is obviously based on my personal preference.

1. Filibeans Espresso

It’s the best coffee place on the island. Don’t miss trying their coffee with coconut milk.

They recently launched a new drink — Tonic Espresso. It’s a crowd favourite! Very refreshing especially now that it’s summer. And don’t forget their chocolate croissant and brownies too! I looooove them.

Address: Harana, Tourism Rd, General Luna, Surigao del Norte
Open Hours: 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM

P.S. They open again at night, if Harana has a party. Try their Espresso Martini!

2. La Mari

If you want something fancy, go to La Mari. Ohoy! It rhymes! But really, it’s a pretty restaurant. Good food but kinda expensive.

Address: 8419 Tourism Rd, General Luna, Surigao del Norte
Contact Number: 0917 714 2030

3. Altrove Siargao

You can never go wrong with brick oven pizza.

Address: Tourism Rd, Siargao, General Luna, Surigao del Norte
Open Hours: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM – 10:30 PM
Contact Number: 0917 822 9871

4. Kermit Surf Resort and Restaurant

As much as I love their food, I don’t like how it has become so commercialised. You have to queue up for a minimum of 40 minutes if you want to have dinner there. Lesser people during lunch time though!

Must try: Risotto Al Tartuffe, Focaccia Pizza, Lava Cake, Eggplant Lasagna, Mojito

Address: Purok 5, General Luna, Siargao Island Philippines PH, General Luna, 8417
Contact Number: 0917 655 0548

5. Bravo Beach Resort

Still one of my favourite place to chill. Their slow cooked pork in coconut curry is still my favourite. Huuuuge serving!

Address: Siargao Island, Tourism Rd, General Luna, 8419 Surigao del Norte
Contact Number: 0999 877 8518

6. Leche Ice Cream Company

It’s a new ice cream shop inside Harana. Try their avocado ice cream, yum!

Address: Harana, Tourism Rd, General Luna, Surigao del Norte

7. Arka Hayahay

Still on the list but just because I love their Hapitaya. I never go home without having a bowl.

Address: Catangnan, Tourism Rd, General Luna, Surigao del Norte
Contact Number: 0918 331 2008

8. Miguel’s Taqueria Y Cerveceria

YOU SHOULD TRY EVERYTHING. And don’t forget to say hi to the owner. He is very approachable. You might even get to hang out with him at one of the parties.

Address: Tourism Rd, General Luna, Surigao del Norte
Open Hours: 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM

9. Kawayan Gourmand

Still my favourite pastry shop on the island. Although I noticed a little increase in their prices.

10. Cev Siargao

Open Hours: 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM

11. Cantina Luna

Fancier Filipino food. Must try their Buwad rice and Kinilaw! Also, explore their drink list. My personal pick: Bembol Coco

Siargao has gained its popularity especially after Boracay was closed for rehabilitation. A lot has changed since. It has its pros and cons. I just hope we will always choose to do what’s better for this little paradise.

Can’t wait to see you again, isla.
