When I first fell in love with the idea of visiting Siargao, it was because of all the beautiful sights. But when I finally made my way to the island paradise, it seemed that a four-day trip wasn’t enough to try out all the great restaurants in Siargao — let alone in General Luna. (We needed to save some stomach space to fit into our swimsuits, after all!)
Every now and then, I still find myself daydreaming about the amazing food and drinks I had on my trip — plus, all the delicious treats I didn’t get to try! While I’m certain that there are way more must-try restaurants in Siargao, here are 30 that you won’t want to miss out on!

While you might notice menu items like chicken adobo, BBQ skewers, and sliced franks, you’ll be surprised to find that this restaurant only serves imitation meat. And just so you know, if we didn’t tell you, you wouldn’t even notice!
Besides the dishes I’ve just mentioned, their fluffy pancakes will probably make for one of your favourite breakfasts around the island. Their hummus treats (with three dips: porcini, bell paper, and olives with truffle oil), kombucha cocktails, and white banana shake can’t be missed out on, either.

Guilt-free desserts, anyone? Buonana’s vegan ice cream (or as they call them, nice cream) bowls offer the perfect way to beat the Siargao heat! Take your pick from their soft-serve ice cream, açaí bowls, and Buonana pops — frozen bananas dipped in various flavours that include chocolate, matcha, and strawberry.
The carob (a healthier alternative for chocolate) ice cream, in particular, is a crowd favourite. What’s more, once you’ve chosen your base, you can even enjoy your choice of toppings: fresh fruits, granola, chia seeds, and more. Delicious and nutritious, indeed!

20. Beach Ramen
At first, I found the idea of a ramen restaurant in Siargao completely random. But at the same time, the fact that ramen and the beach are such an unlikely combo is exactly what makes the concept so ingenious. After all, Japanese food cravings can strike at any time whatsoever, regardless of where you happen to be.
Made with authentic Japanese ingredients, their recommended offerings include their chicken teriyaki bowl (served with your choice of poached or fried egg), vegan-friendly spicy miso ramen, omurice, and pork tonkatsu.

But wait — there’s so much more to HabHab than just hangover cures and comfort food. They also offer delicious sikwate (local hot chocolate) that’ll instantly perfect any breakfast meal, or keep you warm on a gloomy day. You won’t want to go home without trying their banana Nutella waffle, either!

22. Wild
Tucked in a quiet part of General Luna, Wild serves unique, delicious dishes that are always beautifully presented. Made with top-notch ingredients, their melt-in-your-mouth miso grilled beef tenderloin is a definite must-try. Their rolled lasagnettas are not to be missed either; the turmeric noodles are homemade and filled with ricotta and spinach, then baked and served in a bed of tomato sauce — yum!
On top of the amazing food, the restaurant’s ambient setting makes it perfect for romantic dinners or intimate get-togethers with friends. No matter who you’re dining with, you’ll want to finish with their delectable bibingka cheesecake — topped with cardamom cream and shaved parmesan cheese, it’ll make for the perfect sweet ending!

But this humble Filipino-Italian restaurant is not one to be missed — so make it a point to slow down when you see the crowds!
As its name clearly suggests, this restaurant aims to be the opposite of pretentious; it’s a laid-back, open-air joint that hopes to make guests feel at home.

Most of all, you’ll want to come to Barrel for their best-selling Jack Daniels burger — a juicy burst of flavour made with a generous amount of cheese and their homemade Jack Daniel’s sauce.
