Singaporean hawker restaurant · 📍 Cloud 9, Siargao
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.
A chef-owned seafood comfort-food shack across the road from the Cloud 9 entrance, famous for its Tuna Smash Cheeseburger, fish tacos and build-your-own seafood platters. Chef-owner Agnes works the room herself, and board games on the tables set the unhurried surf-town tone.
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 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.
A tiny shack on Tourism Road that became the most famous restaurant on the island, run by chef David del Rosario, a former Manila stockbroker turned raw-fish obsessive. The menu marries Peruvian ceviche with Filipino kinilaw — the Pacifico ceviche with coconut-milk leche de tigre, roasted corn and sweet potato is the signature.
