Tanaw — Restaurant in El Nido

Tanaw is a beachfront spot that hits all the right notes — relaxed vibes, great views, and food that seriously overdelivers. I tried their chicken and shrimp pad thai, and let me just say — insanely good. Perfect balance of flavors, generous portions of protein, and just the right amount of tang and spice. It's one of the best versions of pad thai I've had. The atmosphere is chill and welcoming, with the sound of waves in the background and a few friendly local cats wandering around adding to the charm. It’s the kind of place you can easily lose track of time at — whether you're grabbing lunch after a swim or just enjoying a slow sunset with good company. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in El Nido or hanging around Vanilla Beach. Tanaw is a perfect mix of good food, good vibes,...

Most of our trip we had our breakfast lunch and dinner at this place because it was the closest thing to the food we had at home. The food was enjoyable to view was of course breathtaking although the last day we had our meals we didn’t had money left for tipping, we were saving it to go back, and we had ordered our food by calculating our money. After paying the bill that they have written we went outside and a server came after us. She said we needed to pay extra 200 that the bill was not 1270. I thought I calculated it wrong and gave 200 but when we check the price again from the menu, they laid in their windows, the price was actually, with the service charge, 1270. Anyways be careful with hand written bills and always calculate your own...

We ordered Shrimp in Chili Oil Noodles and Beef Cheek Croquetas and it was indeed to die for.

They used rice noodles Shrimp in Chili Noodlles, it was flavourful, and not too spicy. The portion is also big and can be shared.

On the other hand, the Beef Cheek Croquetas is very crispy in the outside, yet soft and chewy in the inside. It was like a surprise after every bite.

The plating and aroma of the food made me forget to take photos, so all i got here almost were empty plates.

Thank you to the team of Tanaw El Nido please continue to serve great tasting food to your customers. You are all amazing

And one more thing, the view is stunning as it is fronting the beach.

Highly...
