Bohol Seafood Town — Restaurant in Panglao

I had lunch here three times with my fiancée, and every visit was a great experience!

First lunch: Lapu-Lapu fish (you can choose the exact fish — we picked a red one), Kangkong with Garlic, Garlic Rice, two canned drinks.

Second lunch: Adobong Squid with Ink, Broccoli with Garlic, Garlic Rice, two canned drinks.

Third lunch: Shrimp in Cream Sauce, Broccoli with Garlic, Garlic Rice, two canned drinks.

We were always just two people, and each time we left full and happy — all for under 1,500 PHP. There was always about a third of the Garlic Rice left over, so with the same portions, even three people could enjoy a satisfying meal.

The Adobong Squid with Ink really stood out — I highly recommend it, especially to foreigners. It’s a unique and flavorful dish, cooked with soy sauce, vinegar, onions, peppers and more.

The other seafood dishes were also delicious, and I really enjoyed the vegetable sides. As an Italian, I’m very familiar with broccoli, but it was my first time trying kangkong — and I loved it.

The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing, with traditional Filipino music playing in the background. Wi-Fi is also available.

Definitely...

★☆☆☆☆ A Masterclass in How Not to Serve Food

If you’re looking for the worst meal of your trip to Bohol, look no further than Seafood Town in Panglao. This place is the gold standard in culinary disappointment.

I started with the Salt and Pepper Pearl Ribs—let’s just say they were "fresh"... as in fresh out of a nightmare. Greyish, rubbery, and as unappetizing as a hospital tray. Couldn’t even take more than one bite.

Thinking I could play it safe, I ordered French Fries and Calamari. Bad idea. Straight from the freezer to the fryer to your regret. Even the Spaghetti had that unmistakable airplane meal from 1998 vibe. You know, the kind that tastes like cardboard and childhood disappointment.

And the Calamansi Juice pitcher? A sweet little trick! I’m 99% sure it was powdered mix pretending to be juice. Even Tang would be offended.

To summarize: nothing fresh, everything frozen, and absolutely no love in the food. If you enjoy wasting money and torturing your taste buds, this is your place....

The staffs were accommodating and patient with us. The owner was also good in terms of welcoming the guest. As for the food, it was a very good experience, however, the prices for the crab and prawns were kind of unreasonable. It shocked me, ₱2500 for a crab? the crab wasn’t even that big also the 3 prawns for ₱800+. Gladly, the food tasted great. The garlic butter chicken and the barbecue was my holy grail, if I could go back here again, I would definitely eat here again. There are also plenty of food choices to choose from. The place is clean and easy access from Panglao...
