A Filipino-owned Middle Eastern kitchen in General Luna's town proper, opened in 2025 by an owner who spent years cooking in the Gulf. Proper kebabs, real shawarma and a mezze spread with actual toum and mutabal make it a genuine sit-down dinner away from the tourist strip.
The restaurant of a small French-run villa resort where tables sit directly on the sand under the palms. The wood-fired pizzas compete with Kermit's for the island's best, backed by homemade pasta, a French-leaning menu and one of the better wine lists on Siargao.
The Spanish kitchen at Bravo Beach Resort, with a deck opening straight onto the General Luna beachfront and Pesangan reef. Paella, croquetas, patatas bravas and calamares share the menu with burgers and Asian plates, and it doubles as one of the island's favorite sunset cocktail spots.
The island's original pizza institution, built around a brick oven imported from Italy and attached to a long-running surf resort. Wood-fired pizzas and homemade pastas come out of a busy open kitchen to a garden full of post-surf crowds, and Condé Nast Traveler has called its pizza and pasta arguably the best in the country.
A Singaporean-run kitchen near the Jacking Horse on Cloud 9 Drive serving laksa, bak kut teh, beef rendang and handmade pork-and-shrimp dumplings. Locals call it the most consistent kitchen on the island — every plate comes out the same, every time.
