We had the best meal of our entire trip at Angel Wish! This place was recommended to us by the…read moreowner of our hotel. It is on the beach but is not a place that would necessarily catch your eye if you were walking by. I had the fried calamari and then squid ink pasta. Everything was divine! So fresh, so well cooked. The service was good and we sat at the window overlooking the water which was a great experience and perfect way to end the day after island hopping. Highly recommend this place if you are in El Nido!

Upon arrival in El Nido, and a short walk from our hotel, we found this front beach resto. The food…read morewas delicious. We had seafood chowder, fresh crab, and steamed lapulapu.

We stumbled onto this spot while searching for a lunch venue. When we got in we saw that they had…read moreplenty of seafood options, which is what we were craving. We were directed to a nipa hut for seating and offered menus immediately. No AC but we did have a fan in our hut that was helpful in circulating air in the section. We ordered one of the seafood platters, fried chicken with fries, kang kong with garlic, mushrooms, long silog, a fresh buko juice, and a few soft drinks-Coke, Sprite, bottled water. The food came out almost immediately (the long silog was the last to come out). The fried chicken (by photo had 4 pieces and fries) was only 3 pieces with fries. Pretty tasty and definitely different from fried chicken back home. The kang kong was really good, especially with extra amounts of garlic. Same with the mushrooms, although I ate around the green chiles since I don't really do spice. I did like the platter of seafood--delicious fish, 2 clams were pretty good with seasoning, 6 shrimp with garlic, and small amount of kang kong with some garlic. Honestly, the platter was more appropriate to feed 2 to even 3 people (if that). The long silog came and was as expected with the rice, egg, 2 links of longganisa and some fresh fruit. The fresh buko was huge with a lot of coconut juice and meat inside. It came with a spoon and straw to sip out juice/scoop out meat. The presentation was amazing, but I felt like you were paying more for the look and less for the food portions. Service was also a bit sporadic. They were pretty attentive up until we got the food but I feel like they were under staffed for the amount of people in the venue. Also note that you have to use a tabo for hand washing and using the toilet. No running water here. The toilets and handwash area are located at the back of the restaurant and a hand wash sink area set up more central to the restaurant When checking out at the front, we were given the option of cash or charge. If you do charge, it is a 10% service fee.

Many seating options for you to choose from: traditional tables and chairs, low tables where you can sit on the floor, or a nipa hut style booth. No aircon but the fans are sufficient in the morning or at night when it's cooler. We felt adventurous, so we tried: - Crocodile sisig - Meat was ground up, couldn't really appreciate the crocodile meat's taste and texture. It would be better if meat was cut up into chunks instead. - Bird's Nest Soup - made from nests collected locally. This was a tasty soup, similar in texture and taste to a Chinese egg drop soup. - Sizzling Garlic Kangkong - tasty - Ensaladang Lato (Seaweed salad) - think of popping boba from the sea. - Roasted chicken - ok - Lechon Kawali - hard to chew - Sinigang na isda - ok - Complimentary fish or shrimp crackers - crunchy and tasty. Friendly accommodating staff, relaxing atmosphere with piano music playing in the background, and Island cats lounging under the tables waiting for your scraps: it's a solid place to have a meal.

Ok, now stop... this is what happens when tourism starts taking the wheel of the economy…read more Restaurants like this one here gets birthed and becomes an integral part of the tourist system. It has all the signs and symptoms of a tourist trap, BUT it doesn't have to come with bad food. The food here is very good. In all actuality, the food here is pretty much chef inspired. It's delicious and it's calibrated to cater to the foreign toungue. Why wouldn't you order the seafood here? Look around you! 360° of ocean water. NO JOKE! Three things that jumped out and spoke to me was the Kilawin (filipino version of cevice), sea grape salad, and the Prawns (shrimp on steroids) La Serenita style. Let's talk about the Prawns La Sirenetta. I don't know who did the sauce, but it's mouth smashingly exquisite! Strong garlicky note with creamy coconut white wine sauce is truly out of this world. The sea grapes are a local thing with a western twist. I'm used to just eating this tossed with just tomatoes. The western twist with the vinaigrette is different, but it works. The tuna chunks,,, if you like sashime, you'll love this dish. Don't bother ordering the sea grapes and the tuna chunks if you're the chicken fingers and potato sticks type of person. Trust me, your tastebuds are too ignorant for that sort of thing. We came for a late lunch just because I knew what kind of view we're dealing with. A few drinks after the meal to pass the time up until sunset is fitting for this location. La Sirenetta is definitely not just a tourist trap, it's a Landmark not to be missed here in Coron. Thank you very much La Sirenetta for an awesome experience. You keep doing your thing, because you definitely have the most stunning setting in all of Coron.

Definitely worth a visit for the view & the Filipino spaghetti!

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!

It includes congee (arroz caldo), rice, usually a breakfast meat like longanisa or tapa, cereals, breads, salad, dessert etc. Aside from breakfast we also ate dinner here every night. We tried out a bunch of stuff from their menu like Kare kare, Crab, Adobong Pusit, Carbonara etc. My favorite was the Kare Kare the first time I ordered it, they included crushed peanuts in the recipe. The second time I ordered it, it didn't have any peanuts. I guess they have different recipes depending on who's cooking back there. They share a bar with the pool so all their cocktails are made there. I ordered pina coladas and strawberry daiquiris. Just FYI they use real fruit when they make cocktails which isn't a bad thing but if you're used to the way cocktails are made in the U.S. it does taste different and not as sweet. Overall, a pretty good restaurant. Everything we ordered tasted good and service was also nice.
