9. Terrasse Beach Resort
Reviewed By edinstk
Small family owned restaurant located across from the Yumbing Public Market. About 1 mile west of Luna Restaurant. Building is constructed of native materials, no A/C but excellent ocean breeze. We had several meals here as service is fantastic, meals tasty and prices very reasonable. They were preparing a wedding reception and had a nice lechon laid out for guest. Pizza looked ordinary but was very tasty and toasty. Standard pinoy dishes available. Sorry no photo of their menu.Dear edinsk, we appreciate that you enjoyed your stay with us!
8. Cafe Cecilia
Reviewed By Waebi
Cafe Cecilia in the Bahay Bakasyunan resort looks very nice. But eating there I cannot recommend. We ordered a bottle of red wine. The taste was awful (cork taint). I refused the bottle. The server did not bring us another one. After talking to the manager, we got another bottle but were asked to surely pay for it. The wine was at least 28°C warm.The food is Filipino style. You may like it or not. But even if you like Filipino food, we rather recommend to taste the kitchen of Pedro's in Old Parola in Mambajao.

Reviewed By Franca19a
The newly opened restaurant is a nice surprise. We went there several times to try the different dishes on the menue. We liked the curries (chicken, vegetable) and the soup (chicken I think) a lot. The fried rice was nice, but unfortunately we didn't like one spice in it. The spaghetti were "al dente", but still we would have liked them a bit more cooked (and therefore less italian original). The cook is very interested to improve his skills and mostly asked how we liked the food. The overall athmosphere is very nice, no loud music and it's away from the street.Thank you for your comment very useful.

I am writing as this is happening today, September 01, 2014, 7:34 PM. This concerns Brent, the "waiter-extraordinaire" of the establishment. I've been looking for an outlet to plug my laptap and personal wi-fi until I found this small space for coffee drinkers. Permission was granted on my request to use the facility. Out of "delikadesa" I ordered brewed coffee they're selling just in exchange for its use. Although it is open to all customers, I was the one who used it the longest. After a while I was offered water by him. I gave him a grin. "Sir, do you want some water?" I approved of his asking. What a nice guy offering something to drink for me. We conversed a little as I was busy on my lap-tap. As the exchange of kind words progressed, he offered that I could take a nap beside the tables for customers as I have told him I will be at the departure area by 3 am. If all waiters are like him, business will succeed as his attitude towards customers is applauding and welcoming and can lure even more coffee drinkers to patronize the outlet.As a gesture of thanks I offered him a slice of pizza pie. Good attitude, Brent!
5. Viola's Snack Bar
Viola Snack Bar is known for her Halo-Halo, the best in Camiguin! Not only that, they are also famous for their palabok, spaghetti, cakes and siopao.

I have eaten in Viola many times as a child and I was pleasantly surprised to find it improved in terms of the cleanliness and rest rooms. The halo halo is still very delicious--get the one topped with ube ice cream. The other native delicacies are also delicious. It has a family ambience, no frills. Locals frequent the place so if you want to feel like one of them, visit Viola's! I love recalling my childhood excursions to this place (we used to walk a kilometer then).

A road side 'mini restaurant' that quickly whips up flavorful American/European dishes. My favorite dish is their cordon blue (very cheesy) and my wife loves their mozzarella sticks. One of the few Camiguin eateries that are open until the wee hours of the morning. Expect friendly service and to meet a wide variety of expats and Filipino tourists.

We ate here after reading the mostly excellent reviews on Tripadvisor, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. Where to start? The path leading to the restaurant was pitch black, and quite hazardous in parts. The menu is old and tatty and needs a revamp as this does not create a favourable impression to the visitor. Items that had been removed from the menu had been crossed out by hand and it looked very amateurish. To be fair, the food was of good quality when it arrived, but unfortunately the service was so truly dire that it completely ruined our experience. We were the only party eating at the restaurant on this particular night so you might expect the service to be above average at the very least; but no - the staff spent most of their time on Facebook and on their mobile phones and completely ignored us. We sat with our empty plates for around 20 minutes and ended up with our daughter clearing the table herself by pointedly placing the dirty dishes on the bar. Even then the staff did not take the hint. The dessert (mango cheesecake) was delicious, but again we sat with uncleared dishes whilst the staff did their own thing. There were four staff in the restaurant that evening, but none of them appeared to be remotely interested. At one point, two of them sat eating at another table, whilst we waited for our bill.... and waited, and waited. It really was beyond a joke. This was the only restaurant on our island hopping trip to the Philippines where were were forced to pay a 10% gratuity - oh the irony! The worst service we've had, and the staff get an inclusive tip!!! When we finally managed to get our bill and pay it (with the inclusive service charge), we politely asked if they would be kind enough to phone us a tricycle to enable us to return to our accommodation some distance away. Initially this was met with hostile stares, and a completely unhelpful and disinterested attitude. It was only when my husband asked whether "the boss" was available (and was told he was not on site) that their attitude improved (slightly). At this point, they conveniently remembered the number of a local driver that could assist us. I really believe that the owner of this restaurant cares about the service his customers receive. The food is very, very good. But the service is appalling and the staff need to be spoken to and service improved upon. We left with a bad taste in our mouths and a tainted view of this place. What a shame. Tom, you need to take things in hand or your reputation will suffer and it's such a pity. Please take this review in the manner in which it is intended - for improvements to be made so that when you are absent from site, your staff do not take advantage by ignoring customers and offering a service that you yourself would not find acceptable.I would like to sincerely thank you for taking the time and effort to write such a truthful,helpful andconstructive review. I believe at the time of your visit my wife and I were in Singapore, not an excuse, just a fact. I must tell you that I am very disappointed in my staff, as the saying goes 'when the cats away the mice will play" I just never thought that it was a bad as your experience and I must find a way to try to acertain it does not happen again. It appears to me at this point that the very least is for me to remove the 10% gratuity, as these funds went 100% to our staff, Of the 4 staff, 2 of them have been working here for less than 3 months the other 2 for almost 3 years, I hope that I will not have to dismiss more than 2 personsWe will have a meeting this afternoon to discuss the details of this incidence and I will decide after the meeting and hearing what input they wish to contribute. As this has damaged my business (We have gone from the #3 Restaurant to #7 on Camiguin) I will be requesting ideas, plans with them on how they will assist in getting our ratings back in the top 3.I hope at some future date you will come by the Restaurant & introduce yourself and have a coffee with me. FYI our new menus arrived from Manila 2 days after we returned from Singapore,again you were right the old ones do not do our food justice.RegardsTom & Bida S.

We 'discovered' Casa Roca a few days before we left Camiguin which was a shame. If they had had space, I would have extended my stay but all the rooms were booked so I can only comment on the restaurant.Which is fabulous! Great food (mostly Western dishes with an Asian twist) with many and varied specials all at very reasonable prices.Happy hour beer and delicious cocktails at good prices all set in a lovely garden overlooking the ocean perfect for sundowners.The service was exceptional and the music was perfect; background 'chill' catered to the clientele rather than overly loud pop music that the staff want to listen to.Jim and Evelyn have done a great job here; highly recommended.
