malapascua island

Most islands with a limited infrastructure like Malapascua's offer very limited menus in their restaurants. But on Malapascua we are incredibly lucky and have some great restaurants that have set a very high standard.

Oscar's

Oscar's is the premier fine dining experience on Malapascua and has without a doubt the fastest service. It serves a mix of international dishes and there is almost always something on the menu that you will love. Because the menu changes every day, they are able to make use of the freshest ingredients. It is beautifully located on the beachfront in an open air location, high up amongst the palm fronds above Thresher Shark Divers. It is especially popular at sunset.

Although they serve international cuisine, the bar and restaurant is British owned so look out for those British specials including weekly Sunday Roast Dinner, Full English Breakfast, Fish and Chips, Bangers and Mash and the British national dish of Chicken Tikka Masala and other assorted curries. Possible the only place in the Philippines you an get a Cheddar and Branston Pickle sandwich.

The Pub Upstairs

The Pub Upstairs is adjacent to Oscar's Restaurant and serves great cocktails and bar food. Note of warning: Be wary of the shot bell. Once the bell starts ringing and the rounds of shots are poured, it barely stops for the rest of the night!

Angelina's Italian Restaurant

Angelina's is simply great Italian food. It is owned and run by Angela and Ricardo, who both overflow with the Italian's love of good food. Another beautiful location, recently relocated to Tepanee Resort, perfect for watching the sun go down and whiling away the evening. The menu includes homemade pizza Italian style, and freshly made pastas. The ingredients include many meats and other items imported directly from Italy.

Sunsplash

Sunsplash serves a mix of German, Thai, Mexican, Italian and Filipino food. The bar is a fun place to hang out and has a beer drinking game where you will get points for your country. They also operate the Beach Bar which is located on the main beach during high season. It is usually open most of the day but starts to fill up around 4pm with people having a post-dive beer or three, waiting for one our fabulous sunsets.

Isla Bonita

Fresh, well prepared food at reasonable prices. The menu includes a mix of European and Filipino specialties, all prepared with loving care.

Malditos

Malditos serves excellent international food. It is not always open year round and is located on the next beach along. Ask anyone if it is open when you are there.

Ging-Ging's

Ging-Ging's is known for its cheap and cheerful food. The menu is fairly basic and the portions small, but it is inexpensive and a great place to eat if you on a budget. Very popular with backpackers.

There are several other restaurants on the island, but this is the pick of the best.
