Diamond Resto — Restaurant in Panglao

”FOODIE INSIGHT TIP" You want to try a restaurant outside the resort then visit this. You get high quality food, Korean Style. Most dishes include fish, seafood or meat but even as a vegan you find delicious options and the staff is super friendly and willing to fulfil extra requests. I had an amazing plate of "morning glory". They simply stir-fry my veggies with garlic and dried onions. Pure indulgence. Same for the menu we tried. Super fresh and on point.

The drinks are made fresh with pure ingredients if you say without limonade you get them plain.

Even the coffee was great. Strong and hot.

The prices are amazing. All together around 25 EUR.

If you are in this area don't miss this at least for a cocktail at...

We dined at Diamond Resto last year and had a great experience, so we made it a point to come back—and we’re so glad we did.

To our surprise, the place has been beautifully renovated. The new interior feels more modern and inviting, yet it still has that cozy atmosphere we loved the first time. It’s clear they’ve put a lot of thought into the update and it definitely adds to the overall dining experience.

What hasn’t changed, though, is the food—and that’s a good thing. Still as delicious as I remember. Every bite brought back the same satisfying flavors that made us want to return in the first place. Consistent quality, generous portions and friendly service?

Special shout out to Shane and Tina for...

I just left diamond and although I usually don't review so negatively I feel the need to. I had the worst cooked piece of blue marlin ever. Worst of any kind of fish actually! It was so overcooked and dry I couldn't even swallow it. I tried to tell the waitress but she just nodded. Told a waiter and he said oh sorry. So I left it. As I left I told reception and again nod and say sorry. Really no acknowledgment of what I was telling them. I asked if they understood and all 3 nod yes. I don't need anything for free but at least acknowledge that you have a unsatisfied customer and try to fix it. Nope. 1500 pesos and I left unhappy. ...
