Top 10 restaurants in El Nido, Philippines

November 23, 2017 Deane Carmody

Why settle for a beachfront hotel when you can stay right over the ocean in a cottage on stilts? And why settle for any old dive site when you can snorkel in an orchid-walled lagoon? El Nido is known as the Philippines' last frontier, and if you're looking for magnificent beaches in an unspoiled setting, it's a perfect place for you to vacation.

We ate at this place a couple of times. The main reason being the good WiFi service.
The cafe is really nice and has pretty good food and service.
It is a little bit more expensive then most places around El Nido.
So great WiFi, nice surroundings and ok food.

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!

Mezzanine El Nido

Reviewed By sophieso911 - Zurich, Switzerland

We had lunch at the Mezzanine.
The Caprese Salad and Pizza were good in terms of quality and quantity. However we somehow got the impression that the staff kind of felt to cool to serve us. The girls were more busy working on their different hair styles than paying attention to their guestst or clearing the dishes etc
The view is very nice if you get sit in the font row of the balcony overseeing the el nido beach and all the boats!

The Beach Shack

Reviewed By McTollie - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

One of the best food places we visited in El Nido - prices ,portions and taste were spot on. We went a few times as we were pretty close to Las Cabanas beach and each time we went we were happy with what we got. The service is not very good, but I've learnt that bad service is a part of your El Nido experience, just deal with it! The plunger coffee for breakfast is honestly some of the best coffee you'll find around here.

Happiness Beach Bar

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 :)

Reviewed By jeanmon1990

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!
