Great restaurant, in four days in Puerto princess I've been there four times. I truly advice the sashimi tuna (huge fresh trunks of tuna) and the blue merlin coming with tasty tempura vegetables and rice, the Merlin is just perfectly cooked grilled a bit juicy and very fresh. Walk a bit around to see the different decorations and dont forget a fresh Pielsen to make the whole an unforgettable meal :)

I try something new every time I come here and haven't been disappointed yet. Their poached fish is delicious and they have one of the best steaks in town. Definitely try the duck roll and bread with dipa appetizers - very good! And for desert, their homemade ice cream is perfect... and the bibingka to share :)
3. The Gypsy's Lair Art Cafe

We went to this restaurant on 13 April 2011 and it had opened just a week beforehand. The decor, both inside and out, was novel and really tasteful. Food was delicious and service great. Even the owner came up and asked us personally how we found the food and service. I'd highly recommend a meal here!

A place in front of the international airport that is too convenient whilst waiting for my flight. I liked listening to their chill music on a great ambience. I enjoyed my cold Palawan Arabica cappuccino. I added some cold beers and chips (tasty btw). I am pleased that they have a fast wifi and courteous staff. I will definitely chill there again. Bonus I found a new friend.

So if you like pizza then this is the place to go! If, however, your like us and hate queuing on a street for ages for a table (shows how good the pizza is!) Go around the corner to the Altrove Express! They even did Delivery to us when we were staying at Caalan Beach resort....

We visited the restaurant at Cadlao as a group of four adults and five young children. The views across the bay are excellent; definitely somewhere to while away an afternoon. Staff were attentive and the food was delicious. I had a local speciality - banana flowers in coconut milk - would recommend it!

We serve healthy homemade Mediterranean/Middle Eastern dishes with authentic flavor using fresh locally sourced ingredients. We cook for the love of it! Formerly located in Corong-Corong, we have moved and are now located on Serena Street in El Nido Town. Happiness is the place in El Nido for great food and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere. Stop in for a quick bite to eat or grab a margarita to go! Our menu is also Vegetarian and Vegan friendly :)

The swings at the bar caught my eye then I looked at the menu. As a vegan its difficult to find places to eat but Happiness made my day. The hummos was the best ive had outside of the middle east and the atmosphere in the evening was electric. Great experience!
