Kagay-anon Restaurant — Restaurant in Cagayan de Oro

We ate here before going to the airport. This is my second time eating here. During my first time to eat here, it took almost an hour to prepare my food. For my second visit, I called ahead to reserve and place my order. My food arrived right away. I didn't think it would take to prepare the Kagay-anon shake, which is why I did not pre-order it. We finished our meal and we still have not received my shake.

It's great that they accept reservations and pre-order because their serving time has still not improved since my last visit.

Same as before, there are plenty of tables available. You can get a taxi going to the airport but taxi cabs do not use a meter. The LGU has been very lax in...

Our family entered while it was almost closing...but the staff was courteous enough to allow us to dine.

Classic Filipino food done thr CDO manner. It did not disappoint. Despite not trying their famous ostrich salpicao, we ended up ordering a few.

The liempo was very good. Marinated in simple ingredients and cooked just right.

The kilawin was a favorite and it was indeed very refreshing and citrusy and soft. Must try!

Thr shrimp in butter garlic and scallops done the same was tasty.

The sizzling squid is also a must order. It was cooked perfectly thus giving you this soft and easy to bite texture.

All in all... we...

It’s my first time to dine in this restaurant. The place and feel was very warm.

We chose this place for our dinner so we could try some local specials and the waiter was kind enough to give his suggestions.

✅Seafood soup - a mix of a fresh fish, shrimp and a lot of shellfish. ✅Ostrich salicao - definitely a must try! BTW, spoiler alert (it tastes more of a beef than a chicken—w/c i thought it would taste like) SOOO JUICY AND TENDER!!! ✅Kinilaw - fresh and creamy fish with their local lemon (i forgot how they call it here in CDO but we call it biasong in Davao)

NOTE: it’s not affordable but it’s worth the price...
