As others note its pricey for Phils, 500P for a proscuito pizza, but quality is excellent, ambiance quite nice and service good. Pizza is large, goof for 2 to 3 people. We are eating the leftovers back in the hotel for dinner as I type. Hours are 11am to 10pm.
Good mango shake (150) and calamansi juice (80); quite a few wine choices kept in a chiller. High class dining in Tacloban.
The guy who said not enough sauce and crust to be "american style" pizza is partly true; he refers to the Chicago style pizza popularized by the chain Pizzeria Uno that has 2 inch thick crust and is dripping with sauce, but in New York and San Francisco, the real foodie cities, thin crust with minimal sauce is more popular. And if you gave a pizza from Uno's to an Italian he'd ask "What is this tomato sauce Sandwich thing?" No Italian would call it "Pizza".

This Bo's on one of the main streets in Tacloban is typical of the chain. It was quiet, the AC worked, and the Internet was fine (better than my hotel). I wonder if those who complain about the high prices sing the same song in "oh so overpriced" Starbucks? Bo's has real local coffee and is a MUCH cheaper option than international chains....

Good food and cheap!!! A must try when in Tacloban! I particularly liked the lato (seaweed) salad. It was fresh and delicious! My friends can’t stop raving about the seafood.

This place has great decor, comfortable chairs and a homey feel making it great for a lazy afternoon meet ups. Coffee is ordinary, sometimes a miss but their cakes and food is fairly ok. There is a lot of room for improvement.

Visited Rafael Farms when bonding with my Wife and many In-laws. The scenery is absolutely magnificent and the food matches. Seems like we drove for a while past rice fields and just rural scenery, but then, when you turn into Rafael Farms, you suddenly find a well manicured resort.

Reviewed By jeromebpc - Tacloban Philippines
More than a year after typhoon Haiyan came and brought devastation to Tacloban City, this restaurant has opened once again to serve its loyal and new customers. We tested a number of their offerings and the establishment remained to its humble beginnings of serving only the well thought menu cooked and/or prepared with the finest and most natural of ingredients. I should know...the cook is my wife.

This restaurant is easily the best in Tacloban. The interior is trendy but reserved and the service friendly and attentive. The menu has plenty to offer. I had the Rum Ribs and the beef nachos. Both were equally delicious and my plate was cleaned. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Shakeys has been my favourite place for vegetarian pizza, smoothies, mojos and vegetarian salad. Most importantly the staff is efficient and serve very well.
