Coron Restaurants

Kawayanan locally means Place where there are plenty of bamboos. This is a resto bar made of light materials like bamboo with a garden setting. The entrance is decorated with vines and plants. It has a bar located at the center they offer variety of both local and foreign dishes. I just ordered sisig and drunk 2 bottles of beer when I was here. Drinks here cost 50 pesos above and meal prices start at P130.00. They have a band that plays twice a week plus one can sing on a videoke located at the right side of the grill. It is also a nice place to hang out with good crowd.

It is a small bar and restaurant along the National Highway walking distance from Coron Bistro. It can only accommodate small crowd plus only offering local drinks. I tried their spaguetti and it is good for 2 persons. My stomach can't accommodate all. I saw some regular meals being serve too. Prices of Meals start at P120.00.

Favorite Dish: Spaguetti

This if for Japanese food lovers. It is a small restaurant located along the highway in Bankwang area going to the airport. I scanned the menu and they are offering simple Japanese food like sushi. Not comparable to any big Japanese restaurant in Manila of course at least Coron have a simple one. Prices start at P130.00. I am not a fan of Japanese food but you can try it yourself if you will visit Coron.

I had one of my lunch here because I'm running out of money :). Located just beside Jackie's Videoke just right outside Sea Dive Resort. Their viand starts at P40.00. Try their Beef Kaldereta, I love the taste.

If you've had your fill of the local dishes of coron and want a bite of something european like pizza or pasta, you can try the menu in bistro coron. friendly staff and owner. it's a bit humid as this is near the port / market / ocean but it's still a pretty comfortable place to eat, rest a while and engage in a bit of chitchat.

Favorite Dish: We sampled the burgers, the carbonara, and the seafood pasta which all tasted good. And we finished it off with frothy, creamy, mango shake!!!

Bistro Coron, the best in town, is a rather small restaurant owned by Bruno, a retired French anthropologist, who is also doing the cooking. Just next doors, Bruno also ceeps a bar where, sometimes till late in the night, local academics, globetrotters and expats hobnob with diving tourists. Around 1976 (during the Marcos regime) Bruno started an anthropological research on an authartic tribe living in a remoted area of the forest of south Palawan.

Favorite Dish: We tried several meals, on different days and everything was excellent. If, like me you enjoy deserts, try the Chocolate mousse. They also serve a very good fresh Mango juice.

When you do island hopping in Coron and its surrounding islets, be sure to bring enough cold drinks because unlike in Boracay where you can find coconut peddlers/boatmen, there is just a small refreshment stand in Banol Beach serving small bottles of Coke, Royal, Sprite and some unknown brand for PHP25/bottle.

It is manned by someone from the indigenous tribe of Coron.

Favorite Dish: None

Bad Ambience- in fact not even sure what ambience it have,,, trying hard to be French or Italian.. whatever....so close to the road which you can hear the noise of the cars/tricycle passing by and the dust getting in the restaurant then to your food.

Bad Pizza- we order "Hawaiian" and it taste like the frozen pizza you can buy in the supermarket and re-heat it in the oven.

Don't offer tap water- We try to ask if they offer water from the faucet its part of our usual routine when we try new restaurant...they said they dont offer water from the faucet because their water is dirty... the waitress ask us to just order from their drinks bar... then we ask ourself... if their water is dirty... could the pasta we order dirty too? as thats what the kind of water they have... or they just want to make more money from the customer???

Bad Service- We order some take away... and they charge us 10 pesos for the styropor container... after we paid more than 1,000 PHP for our food, 4 persons... isnt that enough for them to earn to cover for the container? What pissed us off is since we paid extra 10 pesos for the take-away container, it should have spoon or fork.. but unfortunately.... it dont have... how the hell do they expect someone to eat a take away, what a poor quality, poor restaurant.. I heard the owner is Italian... but I've been to Italy many times and pizza dont taste like that.....

Favorite Dish: Hell no!!!... I will never ever come back to this restaurant..... and I will never recommend this to my friends.....so DONT BE FAKE!!!! plus bad service... they only have 1 waitress to serve for the whole place.....is this a part of the cost cutting???? or just poor serviced.....
