Jambalaya
Wherever this cross between private living room and restaurant ends up – the Irish-Filipina owners are looking for a new location – internet will be available. Jambalaya (Cajun version of paella) is the speciality; gumbo, another New Orleans dish, fresh home-baked bread, cornflakes with fruit, milkshakes and imported coffee are also on the evolving menu. In addition there’s a book exchange and board games – hanging out is encouraged.

Bamboo House Restaurant
The closest thing Port Barton has to a full-fledged restaurant, Bamboo House is near the Caltex station and Elsa’s Beach Cottages. It’s a friendly family-run place with several tablecloth-clad picnic tables and a few small nipa huts in the yard. Seafood dishes like the fish curry and shrimp sinigáng are especially good; another winner is chicken schnitzel with French fries.

Judy’s
Owned by a friendly American-Filipina couple, this basic eatery has several tables set out across the street from the defunct Petron station a block south of Summer Homes Beach Resort. Choose from Filipino and international dishes on the poster board menu; the fried chicken and mashed potatoes are especially filling but vegetarians have options like tofu burgers.
