Where to eat in Panglao Bohol? We tried these restaurants in Panglao, and we were not disappointed.
PAPRIKA RESTAURANT
Tarsier Paprika is a fine dining restaurant located inside the Donatela Resort Panglao. This restaurant is popular among couples for romantic getaways and special occasions due to its relaxed atmosphere and gastronomic food. It gives a scenic view of the Bohol Sea that may be enjoyed while dining on the open-air veranda or at the cozy, relaxing, air-conditioned indoor dining area. The classy restaurant offers local and modern European cuisine and is very popular among tourists.
We tried some on their menu like Asian 9 Treasure Salad, Frito Misto, Seafood Bisque, Truffle Chocolate Cake, and a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
MIST
Mist Panglao is getting so much more attention in this area because some top celebrities and social media personalities are visiting the restaurant. The restaurant gives a unique dining experience with its forest-like setting. It offers innovative food ideas like Pryo Chicken which was flamed in front of us and is like entertainment to us. Special and unique dining wares with a touch of locally made products were used to compliment the overall Bali-inspired theme. There are various seating options for customers like the hammock and table suitable for families with kids, and birdcage private dining suitable for family and friends, and there are ordinary tables and chairs too.
TOTO E PEPPINO Pizza Restorante
Toto E Peppino is a Neopolitan Pizzeria strategically located along Alona Beach, Tawala, Panglao Circumferential Road. They offer authentic Italian cuisines, like pasta and brick-oven pizza. Although the restaurant is small and is always jam-packed, especially at night, it is still worth waiting.
We ordered Truffle and Four-cheese Pizza, Spaghetti meatballs, and a cup of Cappuccino. The pizza crust is perfectly baked, slightly charred, and flavorful, while the pasta is al dente, and packed with flavors. I never expected to be in Bohol eating Italian goodness as if I traveled back to Italy. The food here is reasonably priced.
The restaurant has an open kitchen that lets us see how pizzas are prepared. The restaurant’s staff was neat, and the working area, although small, was clean.
ORCHARD CAFE- Henann Tawala Resort
Orchard Cafe offers both ala carte dishes and a local and international buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We had our breakfast buffet here during our stay at Henann Tawala, and I can say that the food tasted good and was well-presented.
We also tried Pizza Margherita, Calamari, and freshly brewed coffee for snacks. The restaurant is cozy with relaxing music in the background. It is located on the ground floor of the hotel which overlooks the pool.
