Cafe Laguna
Evocative of a romantic, whitewashed version of a colonial-era home, Cafe Laguna appears more upscale than it is. Uniformed waiters are at the ready and the menu is reasonably priced if you consider the paltry size of the dishes, including some of the grilled fish varieties. Sides such as mashed potatoes (enough for four) can round out a meal.

La Tegola
There’s no doubting La Tegola’s pretensions – the cheesy paintings of the Italian countryside, flowery tablecloths, the hovering manager. It’s an old-fashioned look, meant to convey ‘special night out’, however, the food, a wide variety of pizzas, pastas and meat dishes, is only average; the tagliatelle with duck can be recommended.

Luna Ristorante
Located on the main road in Yumbing, right after the turn-off for the Paras Beach Resort, is Luna Ristorante. It does excellent brick-oven pizza, especially a seafood version, and you can bring your laptop and spend the afternoon using the free wi-fi inside, or outside in the concrete gazebo.

Karachi Restaurant
This bare-bones restaurant provides a welcome shot of spicy Indian and Pakistani fare. The appetisers alone, especially the crispy samosas, are enough to stave off hunger while waiting and waiting for the generous meat and vegie dishes. Or simply come in for a yoghurt lassi, shake or flavoured hookah.

Rooftop Restaurant
The Rooftop Restaurant qualifies as the finest dining in Mambajao, as much for its pleasant 2nd-floor balcony overlooking the street as for the pizzas, burgers, sandwiches and Filipino standards served up. Wednesday night is an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Sentro 1850
Formerly one of the most stylish places to eat in the city, Sentro 1850 is now somewhat passé. It’s still a good option, however, serving a varied menu of Filipino, seafood and international dishes, such as baby back ribs, burgers and locally caught seafood.

Wave Cave
On the dirt road heading west out of GL towards the village of Malinau is the Wave Cave, a hang-out for local expats. The all-hardwood, open-air 2nd floor has a pool table and porch; there’s beer, shots (to P100) and a simple menu of food.

Butcher’s Best Barbeque
You’d think you were being interrogated considering the super-powered lighting in this strictly utilitarian barbecue joint; there’s dimmer and hotter outdoor seating as well. All diners enjoy super-cheap skewers of barbecued meat and rice.

Ramen Tei
For connoisseurs of Japanese ramen, the 33 varieties served at this attractive modern restaurant should be enough. Sushi, sashimi and tempura dishes are all part of an extensive menu; the set meals are especially good value.

Green Haven Vegetarian & Mongolian Restaurant
Like karaoke and a good night’s sleep, vegetarians and lovers of all-you-can-eat meat barbecues rarely mix. The rare bird indeed, this schizo restaurant has bright lights and family-style seating.
