Cafe del Mare is the quintessential reggae bar in the middle of an idylic beach location. They…read morespecialize in italian pizza, pasta, with a couple of Filipino and seafood favorites on the side. When here, don't forget to order their all-time favorite Della Casa and Cafe del Mare pizzas - both are sure to blow your mind! They have bands playing every night but Friday is reggae night and boy they have talented local performers. Leave the kids at the hotel because this isn't very kid friendly. They serve beers, wines, and other alcoholic drinks, both local and international. The place is also teeming with foreigners so it's perfect if you want to meet new friends. You can choose to dine under the canopy of their beach-house inspired dining area or at the bar. Price is mid-range but food tastes great so you truly get your money's worth.

I found Santa Cafe after meeting a nice local resident in Bantayan Island. It is located next to a…read moredisco and karaoke bar , next to all the nightlife spots. The nice gentlemen who made my Cappuccino said they are open 24 hours! Whooweeee! You should have seen the amazement in my eyes, gleaming with joy!! They also cook a full meal here, including a full Filipino breakfast, hot pot and more! There is also a cute outdoor dining. So after having a nice cooked BBQ seafood, we came here after dinner. Service was excellent and to my surprise, their Barista was just fantastic! Made my cappuccino "Perfecto!" Amore! This place is legit! Cheers!

Jamie the owner is very hands on, and his cook Apple is very well trained by him. We ordered the Mexican Chorizo Tacos and Breakfast Burrito. I requested the rice to be removed from my Burrito due to dietary concerns, but I say I sure miss the rice because it would have made the Burrito much more complete. Yummy!!!

We dined here after swimming in clear water, with deep blue sky, and sugar sand beach. It was a…read morebeautiful day and we came in hungry. The name Balikbayan means "To Come Back to your Homeland." Locals shared this is a tourist favorite. Mainly because they open early , 10am to 10pm daily, and can accommodate huge groups. You can even order Filipino breakfast here even after 10am. Love their inihaw (grilled in charcoal) squid. They stuffed them with onions and tomatoes, served with their special sauce. The Halo-Halo was a bit of a let down, but their excellent service and great Island Style cabanas setting made up for it. This would not be my first choice here for dining in Bantayan Island as there are many other foodies in the area as it caters more for tourists, but I would not rule them out for their hours, good price, convenience near the beach and their excellent service. Definitely worth trying. Cheers!

Their "buy 1 take 1" offering might be a little confusing to some, but it is a fair deal I would say. The one at the back is a Filipino buffet. At 150 per person it is a great deal.

We ordered an item on the menu and was never told that it wasn't available. We essentially waited for something that wouldn't come. The waitress didn't even have the decency to tell us.

Everything was as excepted and satisfying. They had a live band playing this Saturday evening which was a bit loud for my enjoyment and their singing was average at best, I was delighted that a customer got up and sang so well he outdid the band singers. Sunday we stopped in for lunch. I we both ordered the cheese burger and a side of fries since the menu showed the burger doesn't come with fries. When our burgers arrived we noticed they do come with french fries so now we had two cheeseburger plates with fries and two additional side of fries... basically a ton of fries. Thanks to the waitress that didn't bother to inform us that it came with fries. I had also ordered a mango shake since the one I had the night previous was wonderful but todays was something different that didnt apeal to me in the least.
