I like the ambiance of this place. It's very spacious also.You can feel relax while dining.Very nice interior design and view inside. I had fun taking pictures.The place is just along the main road. Easy to spot.The parking is free.The food is delicious. We came hungry so the food vanished in just a few minutes. hahahaThe crispy pata is a must try! You'll forget you have limitations.I like the rest room. It's very clean. Smells good. They have tissue and soap to wash hands.The food was served just in time.Their staff was very accomodating.They're always on look out if we need anything.

Amazing food and very good service. I can recommend scallops (spicy and baked), sizzling gambas and tuna belly! Everything was awesome! Do not take too much rise cause portions are quite big.

It's a good family restaurant. Nice decor. Overlooking the ocean. Alfresco dining. Big dining area. The dining area is mostly available pala kasi most of the guests are in the air-conditioned room which I saw later na. Did not opt to transfer anymore. Food was ok also.
Brett Farmer03:02 01/14/23
Nice place for lunch. Sea view seats available.Food was great. Fried banana dessert was particularly memorable.Will be going back again in the future.

My family brought me here since it’s been awhile I had gone to a Filipino native restaurant. The service was really slow. The location is perfect and the food were really good. Too bad, at that time when we went there, they were offline so we have to pay in cash. Who brings cash these days.. it was a hassle so, I gave it a 3/5.
Nikka Cris07:31 06/26/22
Love their food! Generous servings, affordable food, and great service. They respond fast thru their telephone number and messenger. Has a spacious parking lot. Nice view from the dining place especially near the deck. Celebrated my grand ma's bday here last year, we were allowed to bring cake. Recommended for big parties and events.
Mj Roses12:06 06/12/22
We ate here last April, food is good. Fairly priced considering the generous servings. Also loved the nice sea view. Plenty of parking space and seat. They also accept card payment.

Anton Escalante11:30 07/14/23
The ambiance is nice and classy. The service was great but the food is a bit average on somr items. Blue marlin wasn't fresh, Calamares is meh and bland, portion is small considering it's in the 300s. Kare2 is delish.
Teena Custodio15:08 06/16/23
Dinakdakan and pork sinigang were our orders. It seemed like the pork needed to be cooked for longer because it was difficult to chew. The dinakdakan is only typical. The mango shake is rather unsweet. I don't get the fuss about this place.
Oldrin Mukaj03:18 03/22/23
Very good restaurant.I had dinner with my girlfriend and we were happy that came here.Good portions and tasty food.I recommend this place.
Kate Stewart23:51 02/12/23
Dad got the fish with garlic rice on side and I ordered the seafood noodle with ATA (hence the cool black color!). Soooo good- we are going back again tonight, if our plans allow. Great service too! I loved how the waiter ordered our drinks and then came back to order food. He had great recommendations for beer and for seafood dishes as well. I also appreciated him confirming our order and making sure it was okay that it would take 20 minutes to cook. Setting expectations is awesome. Great communication and great food! Well priced. Looked like it would be a great place for larger family events too. 5/5 stars! Delicious

I rented a car. The rental man recommended here for dinner. I could get here easily with google map though hard road for driving btw I super strongly recommend you to visit here if you want to try traditional Philipino food. My family and I didn’t know how time of eating flies so fast. I am sure to say this restaurant is the No 1 Philipino food restaurant in bohol. I love here and the handsome staff called Jade was really kind. Thank you for giving us a good memory 🙂
Faye Dj13:10 10/30/22
My father in-law loved Gerarda's.It feels like home...We always loved the food.The staff is always very kind, hospitable and quick to respond.Food is served fast. Loved that esp whenever we came here hungry. That's why I didn't have the chance to took a picture with all the food. ✌️😅The restroom is very clean. They also have tissue provided.Overall experience is great! All the time!
Jay Alacida02:00 07/29/22
Gerarda's Place is the best to go for Filipino Cuisine experience. We had seafood lunch over with my friend from Cebu and we did not regret coming here! I really love the their crabs and shrimp gambas! The service was excellent, the crew were very attentive and they even assisted me when an unexpected issue on my card took place. Overall, this is a perfect place for family, friends and large group of people to dine in. They have air-conditioned rooms too which i love especially during hot afternoon. Come and visit their branch in CPG and in Dauis.PS. Sulot gud imoha gebayad diri!Its worth the penny you paid for!
sunday muyco11:45 05/25/22

Paul O.15:58 06/15/23
First time customer. Referred by friends and family. One of my favorite so far. Food came fast and tasted great. Plenty of selections. 4/5 for service because they happened to forget about 1 drink. Other than that, service was great. Cheese Quesadilla was one of the best I have eaten. Bulggogi beef tasted wonderful.
Stefan Hyltoft19:45 05/29/23
The "A5" Kobe steak was about 70 % pure fat, with some meat between here and there. Photo is of the meat we took home since we couldn't finish.Acoustics are quite bad, sounds bounce off everywhere. You can barely hear each other.Coke zero can was room temperature, and red wine was chilled 🤔.Spicy tuna salad was good though 👍!Service was also reasonably fast.I liked the bread and garlic butter while waiting for the order, it's very fluffy.Would not eat there again because of the acoustics.
Caryl Chu06:30 04/28/23
Dining in Smoque was one of the highlights of our Bohol trip. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟The prices were fair since dishes are good for sharing. Around 2-3 for most dishes.Our favorite among almost all we've tried was the really well seasoned T-bone steak, grilled octopus with elote, and the tonkatsu which was really really light and tasty all the way through! (Chef said they used fresh breadcrumbs aka real bread crumbs to coat the pork) 💯Dont forget that their desserts are also divine!!! my favorite will surely be the Mango Charlotte! 🥭🎂The ambiance of the resto was also very relaxing. You could easily spend more time after dinner just sharing stories 😅Overall, I will definitely come back to Smoque when i come to Tagbilaran Bohol. The food surely looks as good as the photos. 👍🏻🤎
Mark Versula12:49 03/04/23
Was craving for a good ramen and they didn't have it available. I had a great time having a bowl of ramen the last time I visited this restaurant. With that I was forced to order something else so I ordered a bowl of their Smoque salad and I thought it's only good for one but to my surprise it's a lot for me but I was able to eat half of it as I think it's good for 2. Also ordered Lengua which I thought was a make or break since I am quite picky when it comes to that dish and they did not disappoint. It's by far one of the best if not the best I've tried in my lifetime. Highly recommend it!
Toi Bornas (Toi)11:11 08/20/22
Was looking for a place to have lunch and we were recommended to this place.The place looks very modern and has that industrial experience going on.Anyway, the staff were very attentive and efficient.We ordered the calamari, pork belly, chicken parmigiano, dragon fruit juice and watermelon shake.While waiting, we were served a complimentary bread with garlic butter. It was really good. The bread was warm and the garlic butter was its perfect partner.The drinks arrived first. They were pretty and sweet.Next was the calamari. It was a pleasant surprise that it was paired with a spicy suka. It was good. The breading was light, and the squid was soft, chewy and just fresh. We also liked that the head of the squid was included.Now the pork belly. It looked pretty. However, I got confused about the taste. There was a lot of things going on. I actually forgot that I was eating pork because it got buried in all the dressing and jus.The chicken parmigiano was so rich and overwhelming that we easily tired of the taste. The slaw did nothing to cut its richness. We wished there was some acidity there that would have cleaned our palate and balanced all that richness.
Nikka Cris09:55 05/18/22
Scrumptious foods. Their cakes are the best! Prices range from around 200-1k depending on the dishes ordered. Open for dine in from 11am-2pm & 5:30pm-8pm. Open for reservations, pre-order, and deliveries. Wide parking spaces in front. Location is a bit far from the city proper, but is accessible by public transpo. Excellent customer service by the staff. They'll immediately refill your glass of water even when it's just half empty. Replies fast on messenger too. Highly recommended 👌
Jay Alacida23:58 02/24/22
Smoque bistro is one of a kind experience around Tagbilaran City. They offer fine dining service and of course their menu is on the grid. Although its a bit pricy but you are paying good service. We came by for a dinner with our Unit Manager and family. We enjoyed the steak, the chicken and premium meats. Coleslaw and salad were pretty good. We loved the wine from France served to us, the staff were accommodating as well. In summary, we had nice experience. They are currently closing at 8:30PM. Best time to come is around 5PM. I only got one photo though, since we arrived by 7PM.
Scarlett Liguton10:40 02/15/22
Everyone seems to comment on the price but one thing I'll say is that the price matches the taste & service. This restaurant was also one of the few places I visited that actually seemed to take covid protocols seriously. With a hand washing station outside, temperature check then sanitizer again after all of that just to get in haha, but I appreciate the attention to detail. That attention doesn't stop there. Their wait staff are very attentive & service is provided accordingly. Water provided after you sit, plates & cutlery provided, napkins, and waiters occasionally check in on how you're doing & are on standby and easy to get their attention when needed. My review is only based on my initial, first time visit. We had cocktails, calamari, fries, and a strawberry creme brulee cake. Everything was delicious. I'd love to come back and taste more of their menu, as we had a very pleasant experience.
Ming Ming Shi13:24 11/27/21
The food tastes expensive which is just right for it's price. The staff are accommodating and attentive. The place is tranquil and not too crowded. It's just really too pricey for a chill ambiance that I wouldn't say I'd return anytime soon.

Todor Djordjevic09:10 07/14/23
The Pork belly had some difficult to chew parts and was too salty as it had too much soy sauce on it. The mash potato was most likely from the box even though I have mentioned I would like a real potato. It was served semi cold and it hasn't got that smooth potato structure. Lovely restaurant with an amazing cliff sea view, however overpriced and not good food.
Claire14:16 06/17/23
We ate dinner at a nearby Japanese restaurant and decided to visit for some after dinner drinks. BIG MISTAKE!20 minutes after placing our cocktail order, the waitress informed my partner his drink was unavailable?! He chose a different drink, she served us water and we then waited another 25 minutes for our cocktails to be served! She also muddled up the names of the drinks and served us the other persons drink. We realized after tasting them and had to swap with each other.The drinks, when they finally arrived, were actually quite nice and the restaurant setting is lovely, but waiting 45 minutes for 2 cocktails when we were one of two tables in the entire restaurant, with at least 6 waitstaff present is farcical. I had hoped to return for dinner another night during our stay, but will definitely be looking elsewhere.Sad, as this place has great potential and perhaps the food is nice, but my time is precious.Ps, for such a premium resort, the road in to Donatela Resort is abysmal! Filled with bumps and potholes. The worst we’ve seen in three weeks of Philippines travel, including some very rural locations.
Michal Kapelinski02:25 03/07/23
Incredibly beautiful place with amazing view. The food was delicious and the people who works there are very kind. We enjoyed so much there 🙂
Ghislain Scordia15:46 02/12/23
Everything was perfect. 5 stars to the food, the view, the staff, especially Kate who made us feel like royalties and took great care of my family. I won’t say more, just book a table and enjoy!
Nico Samneil Salado12:45 01/10/21
Service is great! The servers has good initiative. Food is pricey and food quantity is small. They dont have much in their menu. Taste is not that distinctive but i think the pay i had here that became reasonable is the view and the architectural design.
HariHaran Amuthamozhi Venkatachalam12:23 01/24/19
Good Food - Cozy . The View is totally worth it 🤩. But their pizzas are garbage 😑 we tried Margarita it sucked to hell 😂 Guessing their other pizzas would be Garbage too but the Continental and the Filipino dishes and Desserts were all good
Carol Chang11:00 11/01/18
Deep fried seafood platter is good, but grilled prawns and red snapper with bacon was under cooked . Ask for redo, but same dish been brought back in 5 minuets, means microwave only . Service was lazy, we pour wine by ourselves, paper napkins was thirty 。 maybe we had bad luck today . Not recommend.

Waiters were too busy to attend our family. Then food was small serving. Waiter recommended the fried beef bones. More bones, no beef.
Marc Franz Laza11:01 05/01/23
Nice restaurant, they offer quality food at a very affordable price. Once you cross to bohol, everything will cost you twice if not thrice.
Alberto Rodriguez07:18 03/30/23
The food is good and delicious,but the service is poor. It took 40minutes for us to wait our 3 dishes order before it was served.Even if they have a lot of staffs.And there were only 4 tables customers including us,so I can imagine how much more if it's full.
Jeffrey Kiroyan12:09 03/23/23
Nice family style diner. Good place to eat a variety of food while relaxing with family or friends.
Rick Bartel08:49 03/04/23
The food and ambiance are great...however I do not like the menu here! If you are a group or a family, it is fine...but I am a single man and there is NOTHING on the entire menu for one person! I was forced to order large platters of food that are impossible for one person to eat! The owners are restricting their customers by not allowing small orders for one or two people!Plus there is only street parking!I would not return here because I would be forced to purchase more food than I can eat by myself...
Chris Gonzales08:59 01/10/23
Yummy Seafood Kare-kare, one of their best seller and recommended dish. Other food taste good also and staff was nice.
Jay Alacida04:24 11/29/22

Len Artana07:37 03/18/22
Food's great here. We loved almost every bit of it except for its leche flan which tasted more of a candy than the egg-y taste of a flan. Nevertheless the fish fillet, the garlic chicken, its bam-i pancit are all delicious. Even the corn soup and sinigang na hipon are both scrumptious. The servings are big too so the price is just all worth it. We ordered here their meal plan for 10 pax but we got to bring home some more food. 🙂
Jeff Harris11:11 03/07/19
This is a really nice Philippino restaurant. Prices are good my meal was ₱355. Service is really good with professional staff who are very nice. Serve lunch and dinner. Food was great, I had the Garlic Chicken with rice.. Atmosphere is very nice. I highly recommend this restaurant. I will be back soon.
cristina howard13:15 11/17/18
It’s truly a family restaurant because the food is intended for sharing. But since I traveled alone, I ordered only one dish which was Dinakdakan. First, I thought it would taste weird but turned out it was nice and tasty. It’s recommended by the staff when I asked. So no regret at all. And when the music plays, staffs start dancing to entertain the customers.
Fjord10:02 09/10/18
This is the Gerarda's branch that is much more spacious and modern-looking than the original branch. The food, as usual, is good (the dinakdakan and seafood stew are a must-try). The serving/amount could be more generous though. Service is quick. The staff attentive. And they ban the use of plastic straws.What is unfortunate though is its interior design and choice of aesthetics. Everything seems to clash. The general look is inspired by masculine 80s hotel lobbies, as evidenced by the earth tones, the wood and metal combo, and the automobile and locomotive models displayed on a wall. But there are also scale models of tourist attractions beside these, and on another wall is a mural painting of an underwater scene that should belong to a garrish resort instead of a restaurant.The dining layout is questionable, too. It does not work in their favor. Guests are ushered to the far side of the restaurant, to the closed area where it is air-conditioned, far away from the entrance and main hall. Which means, if ever you are standing or passing by outside, looking in through the glass window, you might assume that this restaurant is empty and has no customers at all because nobody is dining in the main hall. Lastly, it does not provide any WiFi connection. No adequate parking space.
Marlon Quimno11:16 08/23/18
Honestly, i didn’t expect the ambiance that is so better. Its cozy and affluent, but the food is affordable and delicious. Almost all tables are set for big group such as for family and friends. Staff are courteous and able. Highly recommended restaurant when you are in Bohol. Cash & card are accepted.
Jean Figues11:04 07/23/18
Everything seemed alright except for the very noisy environment. There was a family celebration happening in the other tables and they were very noisy. I understand it was not the restaurant's fault but their music added to the noise pollution.Air conditioning was great, it was super hot outside and it felt good to be freshened up inside. Food was good except that I had high expectations with their kinilaw but it didn't have coconut milk in it. Serving was fast though, I believe it didn't take 10 minutes.Ambiance wise, its very homey with the dark painted furniture and the vintage miniature vehicle displays at the sides. Staffs were very active and accommodating but they had a tendency of not smiling back.Overall, I was satisfied but they can perhaps improve with that.
Kleinberg Fletcher Tabel09:06 06/07/18
What I consider as the best restaurant in Bohol, Gerarda's provides excellent Filipino dishes that would really entice your appetite. The restaurant is also staffed with waiters with service that makes you feel like a Don/Doña.The ambiance inside their dining area is truly majestic. It feels like a local lord has invited you to eat inside his fancy house. Its filled with photographs and toys of famous tourist attractions around the world such as the Eiffel Tower and the Coliseum.What I love about the place is their food. The foods are not only delicious but also comes with superb presentation. What I suggest trying is their Sizzling Chicken Omelette. It's an omelette stuffed with diced chicken, mushrooms, green peas, carrots, and other good stuffs I can't name.One mouthful of the omelette is like an explosion of different kinds of flavors in your mouth. The texture of the chicken inside the food is a winner. Their Dinakdakan is also a must try!I also would like to give kudos to our waiter for giving us a fantastic service. Rod is one of a kind, probably the best waiter I have ever seen.Food: 5/5Service: 5/5Ambiance: 5/5

Andrew Gentes13:20 07/08/23
Funky little open air resto trying to catch the spillover tourist crowd from Modala. I ordered the taco trio, which was not Mexican but nevertheless good. Beer then food came quick. Servers were friendly. Considering there's no a/c, I think the prices are a bit high. But I would recommend it if you want to escape the slick soulless restaurants in the mall.
Miles Wetzel11:34 07/02/23
Great little place!My first stop while in Panglao and I was pleasantly surprised! I’ve had three evening meals and wasn’t disappointed with any of them. Ask for the tacos three ways spicy and pair it with a Watermelon Mojito, you won’t be disappointed.The tents are cool, the shakes are delicious and the mango smoothies are top notch.
N. S.04:34 04/08/23
Good space for dinner. You can either sit at the table or in the cute tents 😊 Delicious food and drinks, we came here even 3 times!
Kimberly Tan15:08 03/07/23
Cool concept but the food was honestly a disappointment. Their fresh mango shake was a good start. We also ordered the chicken mango quinoa cos of a review here but it was so bland (literally 3 small slices of chicken, a few mango cubes, a few onion cubes, a few tomorrow cubes, and a plate full of quinoa)! The pizza was also a let down. We didn’t even bother finishing it. Sorry.. but I hope you improve your food.
Joseph Azar03:49 02/26/23
The highlight of my trip, the most incredible food I've had in Bohol, I can't believe I didn't try this place soonerPerfect sisig,Light & flavourful nacho mixCooked to perfection LechonCoupled with attentive and polite staff this place was amazing.I'll have to come back a few more times before I leave for sure!Edit : I've been here three times since initiall review. This place really is 5 stars
Sippe Lampe03:06 12/21/22
I have to say, I enjoyed every single bite of the meal in La Vara. Had the chicken with quinoa and mango, was delicious. Serving comes super fast. This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool and the staff is also really friendly. Absolutely the best meal while in Panglao, Bohol.YOU HAVE TO TRY THE MANGO FLOAT SHAKE !! AWESOME !!
Tim Mitchell04:05 10/24/22
This place is a beautiful little road side cafe of sorts. Definitely instagramable. Food size to cost ratio was more than fair.Very unique menu with familiar local ingredients with a Spanish/international flair of sorts (Quinoa, paella, burgers, tacos). Seating choice of cozy tents (!) to outdoor tables in a lovely setting.Recommend and would return.
야자수에코코넛14:45 10/07/22
Cream sause is really nice. I'd like to recommend a mac n cheese, if you don't have lactose intolerance. All the dishes are awesome. It's the best place where ever been I go to Bohol restaurant. But there has only one weakness, they aren't allowed the credit card.
Toi Bornas (Toi)09:56 08/21/22
Went here kind of late to fulfill that sweet cravings and we were the only customers around.The place really looks cool and hip.Anyway, we got the mango crepe and mango shake. Just full on mango test-tasting.First off, the crepe looked amazing. Served on an black slab, the ripe mango just stands out. Now the taste. The mango does stand out, as it should, because it was perfectly ripe.The mango shake was cool and the sweetness of the mango was just refreshing. It was a perfect cool sweet drink to end the our day after whole-day power interruption.Highly recommended!

A little cosy restaurant opposite the motado strip and Modala Beach Resort. We had nachos, paella and the kebab and they were all decent tasting. Drinks were alright but food tasted good.When serving the food the kebab fell off the plate to a serving tray for a moment, while we were fine with it will recommend to replace it for other patrons as the tray didn’t look as clean as the plate it came in.Overall nice vibes and will come back for dinner again when I drop by the area.

Loved the food really. Ambiance could use a little bit of upgrade but really no complaints about the food. If you're a pasta lover, definitely a must visit.
Fabian Haller06:55 04/26/23
After the flight from Hongkong to Cebu then the ferry to Bohol we've been really exhausted and were happy to find the place Al Fresco Bay Cafe', they had very good pasta and bruschetta
Frankie Fiveangels07:06 04/19/23
Terrific place in Tagbilaran, a city that used to be so lacking in Italian food that you would've thought there was a ban on nice food. Typical pasta offerings on the menu with the addition of ravioli and tortelloni, stuffed pasta that always gets my attention. Like the title, the dining room is al fresco, but the food is exquisite. You need to come here and experience his coal-fired oven pizzas, and enjoy the Italian hospitality.
Tropical District05:53 03/30/23
One of the cleanest restaurants in tagbilaran. Tourists dont have to worry about having tummy problems unless you order pizza despite being lactose intolerant. Apart from that, their pizzas are top quality. for your reference, al fresco is comparable to some other highly recommended pizzarias in bohol such as toto epepino, giussepe, la tavola and sicily.
Manfred S.06:49 12/30/22
Nice open air place to relax. Very quiet there compared to all the noisy places in tagbilaran. sometimes it happened already that i stayed there the whole day. A lot of philippino and foreign locals have chosen Al Fresco as their regular place to meet friends and to eat italian food.Very good pizza, very good italian food, and very good drinks. And the best : they didnt rise the prices, or only a very little, compared to other restaurants around. The eatings is absolutely worth the price !Nice and helpful staff, and it s interesting to talk to the italian owner and his wife. This place is a blessing for Tagbilaran, really !
Michie Likey09:51 12/13/22
Enjoyable place. In the city but on a quiet street away from the traffic. Nice airflow. High quality, fresh Italian food. Pasta I tried was the best I've had in a long time. Friendly owner.
Alice Cornier13:29 12/07/22
Best pizza we’ve in had in Asia after 3 months of travelling! Really friendly staff. Family run business. Definitely recommend!
Zeiden25013:49 10/24/22
The best pizza in Tagbilaran. Their snitzel plate is very big and satisfying. I am always happy when we eat there.
Markus Balling11:28 10/22/22
Just wowwwwwwwww☺️I come from Germany to the Philippines to eat a Pizza like this. Highly recommended to visit this place.
Fatima Lasay23:47 07/10/22
Dining al freso was what brought me here the first time. And the food is wonderful, doesn't have that "fast-food" taste and quality at all, perhaps because everything is indeed prepared fresh. Thank you, Al Fresco, for being here in Bohol. Cheers!
Arnaud Titoy05:43 07/30/19
Good lunch at al fesco, the owner is super nice and Italian therefore the credibility of serving Italian food. We had pasta and they were actually very good. For dessert, choices are limited, very yummy banana split. I got the tiramisu and unfortunately it was not at my taste neither my friends, I just told the waitress and they did not charged us for this. Therefore, I highly appreciate the customer oriented of this restaurant. It is pretty rare those days. Thanks again. And let’s hope the next tiramisu will be good 🙂
Gresa Arcena05:17 03/19/19
I loved the food there. It was good and tasty. We ordered their pizza, grilled tuna, hamburger and grilled pork belly which has this very good salsa. You can also ask to mix 4 different pizza toppings combined in one round/order. Only that the restaurant is open air so insects can just come hovering from time to times.

Leonor Furtado12:33 04/28/23
Very yummy Japanese food, I had the Miso Soup, the Yaki soba that was kindly made vegetarian on my request and the Japanese omelette, everything was so tasty and cooked fresh right in front of us 🙂
Miguel Pasadinhas11:14 04/28/23
Such a lovely place! The food was absolutely delicious, cannot recommend the OYA-Co Don enough. Everything was cooked to perfection with a divine blend of flavors.The staff was very friendly and the space cost and welcoming. If I ever find myself in Tagbilaran again I’ll surely come back here!
Myriam Vittinghoff16:50 03/27/23
OYA-CO is a small Japanese restaurant within walking distance of the Tagbilaran ferry terminal. You sit at a small counter and the food is served typically Japanese in bowls with chopsticks. Incredibly delicious, freshly prepared and definitely recommended!
Mary McPherson11:28 12/27/22
Found this place by chance as we were staying on the same road, but definitely recommend a visit if you are in Tagbilaran and want something different to Filipino food. We had the Buta Don and Okonomiyaki, both were lovingly crafted with authentic Japanese ingredients and were delicious! Service was warm and friendly and we felt comfortable despite sharing a very small space with the staff. They really know how to cook these dishes properly.
Gustavo Thury Lopes08:10 10/22/22
People there were really nice and the food was great! It could have just a bit more food per plate!
Ty Abad13:09 07/17/22
Food choices were limited but their recommendation, which was Buta Don, was tasty. It was surprisingly sumptuous given that I didn’t expect it to taste that good.The diner was pretty small but it’s absolutely perfect for people who avoid crowds. It could only serve 7 to 8 people due to the limited seats.Location is alright given it’s in Tagbilaran City.I went there with my colleague, Glen, and we both had a few other food selections to try. Will go back to try the rest.

Real Customer Reviews at Bougainvillea Spanish Restauran and Wine Bar:
ron h15:24 07/22/23
The resto is located at Panglao CBD's main parking area, below a 2 storey structure where the 2nd floor advertises massage in gaudy lights. Their old original location on the 2nd floor of a stand-alone wooden structure that is still being posted is a bit misleading. Outside and closed-door seatings were available. It was a bit loud during dinner as it was just beside the plaza's stage where a band and fire dancers were performing. We had pulpo parmentiere, mediterranean salad, albondigas con sepia, fritura and a pitcher of their house's sangria. Coming from a keto low salt diet, I find everything I eat to be too salty, but even with that predilection, I found the food we ordered here overwhelmingly underseasoned, and I don't want to insult the chef by asking for a salt shaker. The sangria though was something else, it was refreshing and light and gave that perfect 'buzz' to quickly forget about the imperfection of the meal. Bill came to about 1.8k.
Da-eun Kim11:40 07/16/23
We had a perfect dinner time! Paella pork and Grilled Pulpo was very nice. Pork was very soft and sauce of Pulpo was addictive. Especially slightly burnt paella rice was just undeniable...even though I was super full.Furthermore, our server was very efficient and helpful with great smile! I really want to say gratitude for her help!I am very sorry as I missed here's churros and cheesecake as I heard it is also really great😂
Nois07:31 05/01/23
Pretty good Spanish restaurant in Panglao, the Paella was even better than the ones you get in many restaurants in Spain. Friendly service and they won us over with the Estrella Galicia. Worth the visit if you are homesick as we were, or just want to have good food at fair prices in a beautiful terrace.
rald _dc14:32 04/18/23
Spanish food at its best, somehow taste similar to Filipino's cuisine due to Spanish influence so the taste is quite familiar yet unique at the same time. Never had a real Spanish made dish before, but if this restaurant foods was it, then it is tasty and delicious. Their regular Paella, which included in picture, is generous enough to satisfy up to 3-4 people. Definitely explains why it's their best seller too. This place is always packed so suggests you to try going there at their early operating times.
Amy Hu11:52 04/02/23
food was absolutely fantastic and good for value! The portion was big, seasoning on point and the best paella I have had since traveling to Spain. Want to applaud the service as well, super friendly and attentive! Only small complaints are that the table is a bit small, so when you have multiple dishes, things would need a lot of shuffling around to be placed on the table. Also, it's a little warm considering the AC was on as well. Overall though would totally recommend for a good night out. Does get very crowded as it's super popular, might want to either come early or make a reservation.
Finding Jeremy and Sebastian11:53 03/30/23
What a great find! This Spanish restaurant has a broad selection of Spanish foods, and the quality and flavour are excellent! Most pleased with the service and my dining experience! Worth the visit.
Misha Hubacek11:12 07/15/22
We went there twice and loved it! The vegetable paella is so delicious and the potatoes are great too. They only take cash. Enter from the parking lot or from the road going to Alona beach.
Josh Cawley11:06 03/20/22
An exceptional fish and squid paella. Didn't expect the squid ink but a great addition. Churros were delicious and good beer and wine options.Be aware, toilets aren't ideal as they are round the back of restaurant but still a deserved 5 stars for food, service and experience.

IRENE AUDREY NU�EZ14:19 08/01/23
The best bolognese I've ever had! Their pizzas are exquisite and I especially loved their home-made hot sauce... made me want to order a whole jar! The restaurant has ample space and their service does not disappoint. Would definitely keep coming back here.
Sascha14:14 07/20/23
Best Italian food in Panglao! The service is great and the place is lovely (like your in Italy). I eat carpaccio, truffle pizza, panna cotta, limoncello & amaretto. Everything was so so good. If you love Italian food, i really recommend this place! 🇮🇹 ❤️
Romy Horak14:10 07/20/23
The pizza is really great! We had the truffle pizza and the carpaccio and we loved it! The place is also airconditioned. The service is also very good, very kind and friendly. After dinner we had a limoncello and we had the house wine during dinner which was great! If you are looking for a great Italian restaurant with real Italian food then I would definitely recommend this place!
Manfred Pitzer14:04 07/20/23
Best pizza on the island and the salad is huge and fresh. Came here so many times during our stay. Feels like a vacation in Italy
Brylle Camargo14:03 07/20/23
One of the best Italian Restaurant in whole Bohol. Legit Italian food, atmosphere is authentic including the food. Wine selection is excellent! Great service! A place to relax and enjoy
Patrick Mercene11:35 06/24/23
Their handmade pastas were sooo amazing. Thank you for making our first night in Panglao a gastronomic paradise. Please make sure to stop by when you are in Panglao.
Ko Kwan Mak13:08 06/23/23
As it's open air, there's no air conditioning and lots of flies, the food tastes bad too, especially the pasta. Expensive and I don't think it's worth it.
Jeffrey Pepi13:53 03/22/23
This was by far the best Italian food I've ever eaten. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere was excellent. Water was filtered. I got brushetta had so much on top, mushroom dish so fresh, baked eggplant was so yum.
En Tai03:32 09/22/22
The lamb, salad and wine are excellent! And the staffs are well educated. Love this place, fully recommend to come if you are at Alona beach.
Natalie Ling02:39 05/23/22
Great food and location. Was a little disappointed that there's no air conditioning at first but it's actually quite breezy and comfortable.Food is excellent, not too overpowering flavors and simply delicious. A little on the pricier side but worth it.Clean restroom is also available.
Kit Singson11:02 04/10/22
Takeout/to-go order. Got the Gregorio Pizza and Pasta Carbonara. Both are great! If you’re a fan of thin pizzas and simple pasta, this is a great option. One of the must-tries in Bohol, seems like Giuseppe can really fill up. Best to book reservations if you’re dining in.
mike vienna11:25 03/27/22
Thin crust woodfire pizza which was okay, the pasta's was good ! just some barking dogs at the backyard disturbed ! the prices are more on the higher side and additional they charged 10 % service charge which i don't like ! i prefer to give tip depense of my statisfaction.
