Bohol Island Restaurants & Dining
Where to Eat in Bohol Island
Food and dining is an integral part of Filipino culture and the island of Bohol is no exception, with many a restaurant varying in price range, interior and food type. Whether it’s a sprawling vista of the colourful terrain accompanied by an a la carte dish or watching the sun set upon the Pacific Ocean with some classic fare, the island offers some memorable dining options. A large portion of higher-end restaurants are located within the resorts and hotels but, beyond the resort world, Tagbilaran City and other towns offer extensive seafood menus. Many restaurants combine classic Filipino and western food, essentially giving you the best of both worlds.
Cion Virge Café and Restaurant
For as little as 300 pesos diners can fill up on tasty sandwiches and rice-based dishes. Popular, due to its homely interior and warm service, the drinks menu ranges from thirst-quenching ice teas to equally appealing beers and alcoholic treats.
