They have nice selection of beers, with hearty flavor as crisp notes throughout their menu. They also offer some very pub friendly treats that had a western bite. I was particularly fond of their yummy cheese sticks. Every thing was great about this brewery; I just wish that they had more merchandise in their store.

Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the Puerto Princessa area. It's female owned…read more:) They've had a few beers exported to California, but after Covid, it was better financially to keep it in Palawan. Hopefully they expand! My favorites were the honey kolch and the coconut rum!! The rum was SO good with real pieced and coconut. Service was very nice and hospitable. It's an open area kind of vibe with darts, jenga, and a ping pong table. Looks like they could have a DJ as well. Bring bug spray! I got bit a couple of times sitting outside.

Food was devoured before I even thought of taking a picture. The french toast was great, and so was…read morethe alfredo grilled cheese. Portions are huge so beware! The only thing was they were out of oat milk for my matcha; but definitely not the end of the world.

By far, my favorite cute little coffeeshop and cafe here in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Coming here…read morealmost everyday throughout my stay in the main city was definitely a treat with the local staff's friendliness and upbeat attitude. We got exceptional attentiveness with the quality dishes and delectable drinks and desserts. Not to mention the cute and clean interior. Coming to Eightynine Cafe with a tricycle was difficult because most locals couldn't find it, but since it's located on the main road of Rizal, it is easy to find without precise directions. Located next to a local hotel with tourists, this cafe is new and modern with brown wooden tables and chairs. Its homey feel is more catered to tourists and millennials. The food items they serve are innovative and fun from inspirations from various countries like Indonesian to French with a Filipino twist. It is the top pick for specialty coffee to food bloggers. I love their Spambol and its katsu-like take on spam. You think it's like a spamsilog, but it's definitely a special breaded spam. Everything has a beautiful but simple presentation. Ask for garlic rice if needed but it might be an additional $$ to the bill, though it was well worth it. I felt like I was in a local cozy Taiwanese cafe. The drinks are definitely a main thing to get in this cafe. The latte art is exceptional when they design it. Try all the special coffee like the Charcoal Latte or the Yuen Yueng. Wifi available. No CR. Go outside of the cafe to the hotel. There's no toilet paper so bring your own wipes. Cash only. Open decently late. Mangaon ta!

My friend and I went here during our stay in Puerto Princesa. This art cafe was highly recommend to…read moreus by a friend who lived in Palawan at the time. Among all the restaurants in the "mini mall", Gypsy's Lair Art Cafe stands out because of its unique architectural design; the artsy and bright decor is inviting and interesting. :) The cafe is a bit off from the main road in Puerto Princesa. So, it is quite far from the other well-known restaurants. But, it is worth going to. Once you enter the place, you'll see many quirky artworks all over the walls, stairs...everywhere! Although my friend and I only stayed for dinner and a few drinks, this would be a good place to chill out either alone or with friends. The food did not disappointment. They have a variety of food to choose from. So, we asked the waiter for his recommendations. We tried their best-seller, the Ribs, which were very tender and the serving was enough for 2 people. Other dishes we tried were the Chicken Burrito (served fresh with salsa verde), Pin-Thai (the pinoy version of Pad Thai) and Tom Yum Soup (just the right amount of spicyness and sweetness, I finished that all by myself). Try their Pandan shake and Guyabano shake! Great way to quench your thirst on a hot day. :) Overall, this is really a great place to dine and watch the minutes go by. Nice upbeat music, good menu options and quick service are the highlights. It's a cozy place and one of the places you must visit in Puerto Princesa! :)

Wow, totally surprised. After enough Filipino food we stopped in after getting pearls next door…read more Great menu selection. We had the fried fish sandwich, green curry, and a ground beef dish I don't remember the name of. All were complex, flavorful, and well balanced. Didn't try the Mexican food but I think it would be a safe bet. Try it, you won't regret it. This place would be at home on Ventura Blvd or Melrose.

After taking a van from Port Barton to PP, I was ready to eat. Balinsasayaw Restaurant looked…read morepromising and my hostel also recommended it so off I went. I dropped in on a Friday afternoon (around 4:15pm). The place is massive but I grabbed a table near the front. Some of the tables have a bell/shaker that you can ring to get the waiters attention. Clever. The menu is long: all day breakfast, sizzlers, soup, meats, pasta, sandwiches, burgers, combo meals and drinks. - Avocado mango shake (110 PHP) - they charge an extra 20 PHP to mix two fruits. Decent but the avocado wasn't creamy. - Garlic rice (30 PHP) - they gave me plain rice instead. Lame. - Grilled squid (265 PHP large) - three option sizes (small is 215 PHP and medium is 245 PHP). Might as well go large! I didn't expect the inside squid rings to be stuffed with red onion, tomato and cucumber. Nice but it gets a bit boring after a few bites. The grilled squid was excellently cooked. Great texture and fresh. This is a place where you want to go with a large group so that you can try several things. The garlic crab (495 PHP) looked promising.

I was wondering along the beachfront when I spotted Happy Bar. Their chalkboard menu of seafood…read moreoptions peaked my interest so I decided to stop in for a bite. I dropped in on a scorching Monday afternoon (around 2:00pm). They have tons of seats right on the beach but only two functional umbrellas for shade. They sat me by the small hut which had some shade cover. The menu is small with only 8 main dishes. They also have all day happy hour drink specials. - Grilled fresh squid (250 PHP) - comes with rice, vegetable curry (potatoes, green beans, carrots and eggplant in coconut milk) and lemonade. Reasonable set meal. Squid was legit; you get the tentacles and rings. Grilled well but the rice was mushy and lemonade watered down. Decent food but the drinks are better value. Buy a beer and get a free rum and coke!

Located at the corner of Nagtabon beach and easily noticed by the castle that sits there, Nagtabon…read moreSpecial is place where you can chill, rent equipment, drink, eat...basically anything. I believe another name for the place is Oliver and Jane's. The couple that owns the place is so welcoming. Oliver comes from Cali and it was cool to meet someone that came from the same place we did and he could share his stories. The place has scuba gear, fishing gear, life jackets, showers, restrooms, kayaks...The castle and another hut in the front are resting areas. There are beds in there if you feel the need for a rest. Jane makes drinks at the bar area and they also have food. Their burger is actually pretty amazing. They hyped it up and it was really amazing. The beach itself is pretty bare of tourists..more of a quiet, mellow, relaxed place so there's always plenty of room at this place.
