Balay Tubay
The Filipino equivalent of the small downtown NYC club, the kind for singer-songwriters, albeit with driftwood and bamboo instead of brass and mirrors. There’s live music every night from 8pm to midnight; the owner plays bongo drums and sings back-up harmony. Whatever time of day, there’s an extensive menu of grilled and sizzling seafood along with burgers, pizza and pasta. A smaller branch, Tubay Dos (corner Del Pilar and Real Sts) does good chaolong.

Squido’s Restaurant
Reminiscent of many traveller spots in southern Thailand, the widescreen TV at this popular restaurant is never turned off – it’s a perpetual screening of Hollywood action movies and music videos. That said, Squido’s serves some of the best food in El Nido – at the very least, the largest variety including specialities like chicken goulash, stuffed squid, baked mussels and t-bone steak.

Sea Slugs
An unfortunate name, Sea Slugs. Not exactly evocative of fine cuisine, but it does get the speed of service about right. There are reasons to come here: the food – the standard pasta, pizza, chicken and fish – however isn’t one of them. When the sun goes down and the tiki torches are lit and the acoustic guitar begins, it’s a fine place to spend an evening.
