BEST COFFEE in Siargao ☕
The OG and Godfather of great coffee on the island! People love their “Creamy Cloud9” Spanish Latte cold brew. They have two branches: one in General Luna and one in Dapa. People go crazy for their Waffles, Eggs Benedict, and Brioche Bun Breakfast Sandwiches.
A popular spot for a good reason. Their coffee is a crowd-pleaser and it seems like they have it all: pancakes, granola, eggs benedict, and avo toast. It’s literally a little city cafe on an island.
A hidden gem! Tucked away on the so-called “backroad,” this coffee spot is for the real coffee lovers and connoisseurs with a variety of coffee beans from around the world that is prepared with precision and love to elevate your taste buds.
BEST BREAKFAST and BRUNCH in Siargao 🍳
Some say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so luckily Siargao has entered its Cafe Era. Amon has a small but tasty brunch menu with a cute atmosphere.
Did someone say Mimosas? 🥂 Yes, we have a proper brunch spot on Siargao Island now. This cafe is perfect for gatherings to catch up with friends or to have a killer brunch to discuss the plans for the day. Food and atmosphere are great and definitely worth a visit.
Start your day right and get your bowl of sunshine topped up with tropical fruits right next to the beach! Your portion comes with a beautiful smile from one of the Shaka girls. I usually have my morning coffee here.
BEST LUNCH Spots in Siargao 🌯
As the name says it, this place is all about local ingredients and sustainability. The place itself looks like you stepped into Lola’s house and she has been cooking some delicious food for you all day.
Every day, is a good day at Goodies Cafe! I might be biased because this cafe belongs to an Israeli friend of mine but one thing is for sure: they know how to prepare dishes that will make you happy! Besides great food, you will also find a shop with whole goods. Watch out for the events here!
From a little hole in the wall, CEV has grown into a fully grown restaurant - the success speaks for itself! You will always find a delicious and vibrant spread of raw fish here! Kinilaw is one of the specialties in the Philippines with raw fish, veggies, and freaking delicious secret ingredients. The Pacifico Ceviche is a must-try! You are missing out if you haven’t tried CEV!
DINNER 🍽️
Spanish Tapas and Vino? 🍷 The answer is and will always be: YES PLEASE! This spot has been rated as the best restaurant on the island and for good reason! Each dish leaves you satisfied. The restaurant is small in size and only goes with ‘first come, first serve’ but the taste of the dishes and atmosphere are definitely worth it!
Fine Dining on the isla? Siargao has it all! Roots comes with a fresh concept: friends from different countries came together to create a dining experience like no other on the island. It comes in handy that they are not only foodies but also chefs who crafted amazing dishes with local ingredients. Reservation is recommended here and although it's a set menu, you can also opt for A-La-Carte.
Bravo is an institution on the island and has been around for a while. You will find Spanish classics such as Patatas Bravas, Croquetas, and Paella.
COCKTAILS 🍹
Once you enter Manu, you immediately feel like you stepped into someone's home. The couple that runs the place greets you with a warm smile and knows how to keep your glass full. Their cocktails hit the spot and the nibbles go hand in hand with the vibrant flavors of the drinks.
The island bar with bespoke cocktails, music played on vinyl, and eclectic nibbles - yes, Siargao has finally a cocktail bar that speaks my language!
Siargao has a Jazz bar - say whaaaat?! 😲 I was surprised when my friends asked me to go “upstairs” after our dinner at Las Barricas to find the “Extension,” which is a cozy space with amazing live music.
BEST SNACKS to try in Siargao 🍧
The little refreshment in between to stay hydrated - the Buko (Coconut) shack is THE popular spot for hot days in Siargao!
It’s my all-time favorite snack: soft and freshly baked little buns that are filled with coconut 🥥 and sugar. With 5 Pesos per piece, this is a crowd-pleaser snack for everyone’s budget. The Pan de Coco is prepared the traditional way with a little wood fire oven next to the road. It’s a MUST TRY!
Craving something quick? 🌮 Tacos are always a great idea! And if it needs to be something sweet, go with the Churros to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Dig in and savor Siargao's rich flavors and vibrant food culture on your island escapade. Bon Appétit! 🏝️🎉
