    I wish I found this place sooner. MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT IN DUMAGUETE! A very American feel to the food. I've been spoiled this week. First I had the best American Hamburger in Negros Occidental at Gunny's All-American Burger. While my family was eating at the excellent Filipino restaurant Lantow I meandered to Cafe Racer. The best American burger in Negros Oriental! I also got an order of popcorn shrimp which was good. My daughter got a tenderloin steak that we both loved. THERE WAS NO A-1 SAUCE?!? but the steak was so good that I'll still give it 5 stars. The burger came with fries. They didn't have coke in glass bottles. But the steak was that good. Both those omitted items would normally count a star. I'm feeling benevolent tonight. This place ROCKS but I am departing this great area and going back to eastern KY in a few days. DAMN!

    Came here during founders week and was pleasantly surprised by their decor & ambience. Reminded me of home (US). I've been here 2 nights and dined in the outside patio area. We had burgers and the burgers were pretty good for PI standard. However I think some of their items are overpriced. Like their finger food/munchies break my wallet. 99P for chicken skin.....haha I ordered it anyways. The thing i like most about this place was that during the both nights i visited, there were live acoustic singers/bands playing. And i came on a monday and tuesday, some places only have musicians during the weekends or certain days. However, something I think they can improve on is that their musician started at 8:30 or 9 and their kitchen closes at 10, which kind of bugged me. But overall, I would definitely visit again. Especially since i didn't get to try one of their shakes, looked so good!

    Harolds Rooftop Cafe is located, yes you guessed it, on the rooftop of Harolds Mansion in beautiful…read moreDumaguete! What makes this place great for me are the people, the warm reception and the 'all heart' approach which shines through the picking and choosing of mixed Western and Filipino dishes on their menu spread catering to tourists from all over the world. We met families from France, based in Manila for work, who were staying at the Hostel for a couple of days as they planned their trip around Harold's extensive island trip privileges and all so affordable, like swimming with their giant turtles around Apo island. I will have a different review specifically on that experience. (Harold, the owner of the hostel and cafe) operates/owns a diving and snorkelling expedition with his shop just by the entrance of the hostel where you can book day trips and rent gear for whatever activity you choose. We had the chance to meet Harold a couple of times as he is also based in L.A but was in town for a vacay. Harold is a gregarious local who ensures your stay in Dumaguete is gravitated outside the walls of his cafe/hostel which is why his love for the open water seeps through his warm smile as he passionately shares his virtuous take on salt water adventures that will entice visitors within the Philippines and from all over the world. Diving trips has a more intricate process as there are open water courses and certificates before your first dive with the crew. (Again will go into detail on a different review) I just wanted to give readers an insight of how Harolds Rooftop Cafe is the start and end to a fun filled day. My favourite picks from the menu are the Adobong Tuna and veggie lumpias. You cannot NOT have adobo when you visit the Philippines. Adobo is the ultimate dish which has all the fixings of garlic, soy sauce and vinegar simmered to perfection with seasonings to heighten the tenderness of any meat of your choosing, in this case the tuna. Sooooooo GOOOD! The second show stopper for me was the veggie lumpias and this cafe serves them BIG AND BOLD and stuffed to the max, fried to the perfect level of crisp and washing all that down with some ice cold beer while your wifi connection has a speed advantage on that rooftop so FaceTime with the parents was uninterrupted as I showcased my sun set view and authentic, good tasting grub. I mean everything else on their menu is portioned unsparingly compared to other restaurants in the area and you can't go wrong with quality. Price point on meals is important especially when your travel budget includes island hopping, travelling with family and excursions. Everything adds up quickly when you're on vacay mode so it's best to know places where it won't disappoint pockets and taste buds.

    One of my all time favorite restaurants! We were driving back from my Lola's and stopped by to eat…read more We all ordered chicken inato. One of the best things to get here! It comes with rice and a papaya side dish. We also ordered kinilaw to share. So good. And the chicken is juicy with a fabulous marinade on it. The kinilaw is very much the Filipino version of ceviche. Light and refreshing. We also got halo halo. Decent. Not the best I've had but it's a good option. Could use more toppings. Still refreshing to eat on a hot day! They have hand washing stations outside which is helpful since the food is sticky and a bit messy to eat. Tons of covered seating here with great views of the ocean.

    I can't give this place the 5 star review. I've been…read moreeating only Jos Inato at least once a day for over a month now. This is one of the most awesome views I've ever had from a restaurant. I simply don't like the food as much as the Bayawan branch. I think this is because they served their coke in cans whole Bayawan served theirs in glass bottles. A very picturesque setting that was ruined by horrible canned Cokes. The only Cokes that are worth a damn are Mexican Coke. The Philippines should take note. Mexico made Coke only use Mexican sugar in their Coke. Their glass bottles Cokes tastes OK. The canned Coke is HORRIBLE. They both list "Sugar and/or High Fructose Corn Syrup" I still think that is why everybody in America has diabetes. Unrelated I know. I just hate bad coke.
