Siargao's Hangover Helpers: Top 5 Breakfast & Brunch Spots You Need to Try!

Stopped by Sibol after dinner just for a drink. Had a rum and coke and a beer — prices were reasonable and fair for the area. The music was played quite loudly at first, and some seats are directly in front of the speakers, which can be a bit intense. Later in the evening there was live music, which was actually very nice and created a good vibe. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout the visit. The crowd was a good mix of locals and tourists, giving the place a lively but still relaxed atmosphere. Overall, a good spot for evening drinks and live music, just be mindful of where you sit if you prefer it a bit quieter.

Ordered the fresh tuna poke bowl. Food was served fast and good in terms of taste, better than the other bowls I’ve tried in Siargao aside from Tiburon. Owners need to do a refreshed test of their bestsellers as the carrot filler serving was excessive, downplaying the tuna proportion (which was pretty good!) and the rest of the components. The highlight of the place was really the staff as everyone was kind and even gave recommendations on food pairings and other restaurants to try (of course, after inviting us back first for cocktails at night). Shoutout especially to Melvin, who was our main server and really kept us engaged

Shaka Siargao is the island’s most famous breakfast and healthy food hub. Located right in front of the iconic Cloud 9 boardwalk, it has become a "rite of passage" for travelers to grab a colorful smoothie bowl after watching the sunrise. 🥣 The Famous Smoothie Bowls Shaka is credited with popularizing the "smoothie bowl" culture on the island. Every bowl is made with fresh local fruits, topped with house-made granola, seeds, and beautifully sliced tropical fruits. * Best Seller: The "Bom Dia" (Acai, banana, mango, pineapple, and berries). It’s the go-to for a high-energy post-surf meal. * Local Favorite: The "Cloud 9 Kook" (Mars bars, peanut butter, and cacao) for those who want something a bit more indulgent. * Price: Bowls typically cost around ₱300 – ₱350. ☕ Vibe & View * Front Row Seats: The cafe features a beach-facing terrace with swings and rustic wooden tables. It offers one of the best views of the surfers at Cloud 9 while you eat. * Opening Hours: They open at 6:30 AM (daily). It’s perfect for the early morning crowd coming off the boardwalk after sunrise. * Health Focus: While they were strictly vegetarian for years, the menu has evolved slightly in 2025-2026. However, they remain the best spot for vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and health-conscious options, including coffee with high-quality plant-based milks. 📍 Location & Tips * Location: Directly at the entrance to the Cloud 9 boardwalk, General Luna. * Peak Time: It gets extremely busy between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM. If you want a seat with a view of the ocean, try to arrive right when they open or after the main breakfast rush. * Beyond Bowls: Don't sleep on their Cold Brew or their fresh cold-pressed juices, which are life-savers during the humid midday heat. 💡 Pro Tip for January 2026 If you’re visiting this week, keep in mind that the morning air can be a bit damp from the occasional rain. Shaka’s open-air seating is covered, making it a cozy place to watch the stormy Pacific waves with a warm coffee if the weather turns.

Awesome spot right on the beach with palm trees and a perfect view of the Cloud 9 Surf Area. The food and drinks are really good, the pizzas, shakes and cocktails are always fresh and super tasty. The prices are very fair, especially for this location. On weekends they also have a great deal: from 4 to 8 pm you get a free cocktail when you order a pizza, that’s the perfect Combo :) The staff is very friendly and nice. On top of that, there are DJs playing every weekend, bringing great vibes with relaxed, cool music. It’s the perfect place to chill, have a drink, and enjoy the sunset :)

🍝 Kermit Siargao: Best Bang for Your Buck & Pizza on the Island! 💯 You HAVE to eat at Kermit. Seriously great value for money here—the portions and quality are top-notch. • Cloud 9 Pizza: MUST TRY! Best pizza on Siargao, perfectly cooked, amazing flavors. • Aligue Pasta: Totally decadent, rich, and unforgettable. Order it. • Aperol Spritz: It's solid, just your standard, refreshing 'it's okay' classic spritz (thankfully without the weird peach additions!). Come for the food, stay for the vibe. A non-negotiable stop in Siargao! PS: tried honey mustard chicken wrap it’s a no for me (a bit bland). Fries was excellent! For thr truffle chips, it’s ok nothing fancy.

They say Kermit has the best pizza in Siargao, but for me, the dough was just okay. It was too sour and tasted over-proofed you can really taste the gas, which means it wasn’t properly fermented. The place itself is nice though, with a good ambiance and friendly servers. Overall, it was okay. Would I recommend it? Maybe, if there’s some improvement by the time I come back.

Great food for decent prices. We had the “small” squid which was still a very big portion and extremely tasty. The tuna belly was also very good and super fresh. The eggplant tasted fresh and was well marinated. Overall great experience with fair prices. Would definitely come back.

Mamas grill one of my best choice restaurants in siargao ‘ they offer some kind of seafood to grill ‘ they have some other foods also like pork ,fish , beef , either grilled or soup style ‘ We ordered grilled pork BbQ and Lapu lapu ‘ the taste was yummy 😋 perfect combo for me ‘they offer drinks too ,beers ,juices and shakes ‘. The place is good for groups of people ‘ families’ friends ‘ very spacious place. They located along tourism road in general Luna ‘ Highly recommended ‘

HARANA is nestled in a hidden alley, and I’m grateful they welcomed us in without any booking for the night. The place is beautifully designed, creating an amazing ambiance that enhances the dining experience. Service was excellent too, very generous and not calculative, eager to assist, pure and warm. And the food—wow! It’s authentically Filipino, delicious, and generously portioned. This spot is definitely a must-try and I highly recommend it to all Siargao tourists. Be sure to try the “black-souped” chicken breast and the Tausug beef and of course my favorite BANGUS sisig—SUPER YUM!!
