Quite disappointed with the food really. We ate here because it was near Solea Coast where we were staying. Asked the cook what fish dish she would recommend after we've ordered sisig, calamares, and chopsuey. She insisted on the red snapper,as it was freshly caught, cooked tinola style. It was the 'fishiest' stew I ever had (obviously not fresh or stored properly), ruined the whole meal and the taste of the other dishes. I can still remember the aftertaste of that soup, ugh.

Portion sizes are not very large so order at least 2...
ย ย ย Read moreThe best local Philippine food I have tried so far at Panglao during my 2 week stay here. Been here 4 times now and every time I have been more than pleased with the large portions, quality and presentation of the food.

I've tried their special lombi soup, corn soup, chilli garlic crab, buttered shrimp, tuna bella sisig and a couple other dishes and they've all been 10/10. Amazing flavours...
