    Cocina en Cantilado - Baked scallops

    We needed a restaurant who actually serves "real filipino meal" and not just a snack shop so we're…read moreglad Cocina En Cantilado was close by. It was a few minutes away from the whale shark watching where we were prior so we definitely came in hungry lol The restaurant was by the road so it was easy to spot. They also have parking space so that was convenient. Be aware that the restaurant is an open one so there is no air-conditioning but they did provide us with a fan which really helped from that hot July weather. Some of the items on the menu were not available at that time like their pizzas but otherwise the rest of the filipino food were. The scallops were good but I guess it came a bit to buttery/margarine-y (lol) for me. Good nonetheless. The pork belly was tasty as usual but my favorite was the crispy pata which the staff mentioned was also one of their best sellers. Perfectly seasoned and cooked! Crispy and meaty at the same time. Writing about it is actually making me hungry. There was one on the menu which was a tad too salty but i forgot which one it was. Anyway overall we had a good and filling meal which was what we were looking for. Clean space, good food, very nice staff and had a wonderful view of Oslob's blue waters. Just be careful coz the "nest" is by the cliff, thus where they most likely got the restaurant name of "Cantilado" from.

    absolutely fantastic Filipino traditional food in an open air restaurant. Prices are very…read morereasonable and they have a great ocean view. we ordered 8 different dishes and shared them amongst our group so we got to taste multiple items. Our mixed group of adults, children, Filipinos and Canadians all enjoyed the meal. the crocodile sisig is a nice novelty dish (their specialty) and i was not at all disappointed. it was very good!! I easily recommend this restaurant for anyone intereted in Filipino food and travelling in the area for the famous Oslob whale shark watching tour. 10/10

    I was in Moalboal for 3 nights and ended up at Veranda Restaurant and Bar a few times. It's located…read moreright along the waterfront with a perfect view. The inside is spacious and there's even a few tables along the beach/water that's hidden when you first walk in. They have TV's showing some sort of sports game. Staff is friendly and the cooks are good. The menu is long with a mix of Filipino and western food; breakfast, sandwiches & toastis, crepes, soup, pasta, pancit, rice dishes, salads, appetizers, sizzlers, meats, seafood, pizza and desserts. - Mango pancake (120 PHP) - Excellent! First pancake I've had in 6 months. Hit the spot with a great fluffy texture. - Chicken BBQ (200 PHP) - this dish takes about 10-15 minutes to cook. You choose from plain rice, garlic rice or French fries. Went with garlic rice which was delicious. The chicken was tender and well worth the wait. They love their sweet sauces here; the chicken is coated in it. - Banana pancake (90 PHP) - fluffy, airy texture with a good amount of bananas. You know it's good when you don't need to add much syrup. - Spanish omelette (150 PHP) - the omelette was excellent; flavourful and creamy. Inside, there was onion, green and red pepper, mushroom and cheese. Well worth a try, especially for their pancakes!

    Location is great! By the ocean and amazing views. We decided to get a fruit shake and an order of…read morenachos to get started then decide if we wanted to stay for dinner. The picture of the nachos on the sign looked amazing. The drinks came out fairly quick and were delicious. Off to a good start .....then it went downhill. It took :50 to get the nachos and what they sat in front of us was not nachos! It looked like it might be a multi-layer dip but it was not even that. When we tasted it, well...it was canned spaghetti sauce, mozzarella cheese and ground beef. We asked the waitress and she said that is their nachos. I let her know it was spaghetti sauce and she told us it was the same... tomato and onion like pico and cheese. We talked to the manager and he said that was the nachos, I told him we expected what was in the picture. He asked where we saw the picture. I said on the large menu board out front. He walks over to it looks at it and with a straight face says that is just an example photo of what nachos look like but that ours was definitely the nachos. We paid and left, went down the street to a restaurant that served what they showed. We would never go back. Not just because what they served but that a manager would ignore their own signage. There are too many good places to eat in Moalboal to waste you time and money here. Best part of the experience was having a story of the worst nachos EVER!

    Lamoy Restaurant is one of those places where patience pays off. It will test you, so enjoy outside…read morewhile you leave a person behind (lol) and ask for the Wi-Fi password so they can look at their phone. The wait is real, but there is a reason. The food is cooked fresh. You actually pick your seafood before it is cooked, especially the squid and the crab. Nothing feels rushed, and it shows once the plates hit the table. The fried squid was worth waiting for. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and not greasy. You can tell it was fresh and cooked to order. The crab was the same story: sweet meat, well-seasoned, and not drowned in sauce. We also ordered pancit bihon, scallops with garlic, pork BBQ skewers, and a small cup of rice. The pancit bihon was flavorful and not dry. The scallops were soft and garlicky without being overpowering. The pork BBQ skewers had that classic smoky sweetness and were nicely charred. Service is straightforward and the vibe is casual. This is not fast food. If you come hungry and in a rush, you will get frustrated. If you come expecting fresh, cooked-on-the-spot Filipino food, you will leave happy. This is the kind of place you go to slow down, eat well, and enjoy food that is made properly. Enjoy time with family and talk; it's nice to enjoy your time while waiting for the food.
