Casablanca
Run by a charismatic Austrian, Casablanca is fine dining minus the fuss. Healthy, creative dishes appear from the kitchen almost instantly, and there is a good choice of exotic beers to wash them down with. Pay attention to the specials board – whenever organic vegetables are obtainable, they end up here as something exquisite.

Lab-as Seafood Restaurant
In a rambling indoor-outdoor setting, Lab-as packs out on weekends and stays loud and lively until the small hours. It’s easily the top pick for dining out in Dumaguete for its excellent fresh seafood (lab-as means ‘fresh’) and local vibe.

Cafe Antonio
Upstairs in an elegant Spanish-era building, this stylish student cafe serves small but perfectly formed portions. You can even sit yourself down to eat in a swing. The chilled-out atmosphere is preserved by a no-smoking, no-liquor policy.

Boston Cafe
Contemporary Italian cuisine artfully presented on earthenware dishes in a friendly atmosphere. Gangsters and romantic couples will love the tall-backed curved chairs that guard against pesky eavesdroppers.

Coco Amigos
Coco Amigos serves wonderfully refreshing watermelon and buko (young coconut) shakes and real coffee, but the Mexican food is disappointing. It has a good vegetarian selection.
